الحَقَّ ٱلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنْ حَفِظَ أَحَدٌ كَلِمَتِي فَلَنْ يُشَاهِدَ المَوتَ إِلى الأَبَد
إنجيل القدّيس يوحنّا08/من51حتى58/:”قالَ الرَبُّ يَسوع لِليَهود: «أَلحَقَّ ٱلحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُم: إِنْ حَفِظَ أَحَدٌ كَلِمَتِي فَلَنْ يُشَاهِدَ المَوتَ إِلى الأَبَد». فَقَالَ لَهُ اليَهُود: «أَلآنَ عَرَفْنَا أَنَّ بِكَ شَيْطَانًا. إِبْرَاهِيمُ مَات، والأَنْبِيَاءُ مَاتُوا، وأَنْتَ تَقُول: إِنْ حَفِظَ أَحَدٌ كَلِمَتِي فَلَنْ يَذُوقَ المَوتَ إِلى الأَبَد. أَلَعَلَّكَ أَنْتَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذي مَات؟ والأَنْبِيَاءُ أَيْضًا مَاتُوا. مَنْ تَجْعَلُ نَفْسَكَ؟». أَجَابَ يَسُوع: «إِنْ أُمَجِّدْ أَنَا نَفْسِي فَمَجْدِي لَيْسَ بِشَيء. أَبِي هُوَ الَّذي يُمَجِّدُنِي، وهُوَ مَنْ تَقُولُونَ أَنْتُم إِنَّهُ إِلهُكُم. وأَنْتُم مَا عَرَفْتُمُوه، أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَعرِفُهُ. وإِنْ قُلْتُ إِنِّي لا أَعْرِفُهُ كُنْتُ مِثلَكُم كَاذِبًا. لكِنِّي أَعْرِفُهُ، وأَحْفَظُ كَلِمَتَهُ.”
لَيْسَ بَارٌّ ولا وَاحِد. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْهَم، ولاَ مَنْ يَطْلُبُ الله. كُلُّهُم زَاغُوا، وفَسُدُوا مَعًا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ الصَّلاحَ وَلا وَاحِد
رسالة القدّيس بولس إلى أهل رومة03/من01حتى12/:”يا إِخوَتي، مَا فَضْلُ اليَهُودِيّ؟ أَو مَا نَفْعُ الخِتَانَة؟ إِنَّهُ جَزِيلٌ، عَلى كُلِّ حَال! إِنَّ أَوَّلَ فَضْلٍ لَهُم هوَ أَنَّهُم ٱئْتُمِنُوا عَلى كَلاَمِ الله. فمَاذَا إِنْ كَانَ بَعْضُهُم لَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا؟ هَلْ يُبْطِلُ عَدَمُ إِيْمَانِهِم أَمَانَةَ ٱلله؟ حَاشَا! بَلْ صَدَقَ اللهُ وَكَذِبَ كُلُّ إِنْسَان، كَمَا هوَ مَكْتُوب: «لِكَي تُبَرَّرَ في كَلاَمِكَ، وَتَغْلِبَ في قَضَائِكَ». وإِنْ كَانَ إِثْمُنَا يُثْبِتُ بِرَّ الله، فَمَاذَا نَقُول؟ أَيَكونُ اللهُ ظَالِمًا حِينَ يُنْزِلُ غَضَبَهُ عَلَيْنَا؟ كَبَشَرٍ أَقُولُ هذَا! حَاشَا! وإِلاَّ فَكَيْفَ يَدِينُ اللهُ العَالَم؟ فإِنْ كَانَ بِكَذِبي قَدِ ٱزْدَادَ صِدْقُ الله، لِمَجْدِهِ، فَلِمَاذَا أُدَانُ أَنَا بَعْدُ كَإِنْسَانٍ خَاطِئ؟ وَلِمَ لا نَفْعَلُ السَّيِّئَاتِ لِتَأْتيَ الصَّالِحَات، كَمَا يَفْتَري عَلَيْنَا قَوْمٌ وَيَزْعَمُونَ أَنَّنَا نَقُولُ ذلِكَ؟ هؤُلاءِ دَيْنُونَتُهُم عَادِلَة. إِذًا مَاذَا؟ هَلْ نَحْنُ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُم؟ لا، أَبَدًا! فإِنَّنَا قَدْ بَيَّنَّا مِنْ قَبْلُ أَنَّ الجَمِيعَ، يَهُودًا وَيُونَانيِّين، هُم تَحْتَ الخَطِيئَة، كَمَا هوَ مَكْتُوب: «لَيْسَ بَارٌّ ولا وَاحِد. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْهَم، ولاَ مَنْ يَطْلُبُ الله. كُلُّهُم زَاغُوا، وفَسُدُوا مَعًا. لَيْسَ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ الصَّلاحَ وَلا وَاحِد.
Very truly, I tell you, whoever keeps my word will never see death
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 08/51-55/:”Very truly, I tell you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.’The Jews said to him, ‘Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets; yet you say, “Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.” Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Who do you claim to be?’Jesus answered, ‘If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, he of whom you say, “He is our God”, though you do not know him. But I know him; if I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him and I keep his word.”
There is no one who is righteous, not even one; there is no one who has understanding, there is no one who seeks God.
Letter to the Romans 03/01-12/:”What advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? Much, in every way. For in the first place the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What if some were unfaithful? Will their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Although everyone is a liar, let God be proved true, as it is written, ‘So that you may be justified in your words, and prevail in your judging.’ But if our injustice serves to confirm the justice of God, what should we say? That God is unjust to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.) By no means! For then how could God judge the world? But if through my falsehood God’s truthfulness abounds to his glory, why am I still being condemned as a sinner? And why not say (as some people slander us by saying that we say), ‘Let us do evil so that good may come’? Their condemnation is deserved! What then? Are we any better off? No, not at all; for we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under the power of sin, as it is written: ‘There is no one who is righteous, not even one; there is no one who has understanding,there is no one who seeks God. All have turned aside, together they have become worthless; there is no one who shows kindness,there is not even one.”
