St. Paul's Letter to the Galatians 5:22-26; 6:1-2

رسالة بولس الاولى الى غلاطية 5: 22-26 6: 1-2

Brethren, the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us have no self-conceit, no provoking of one another, no envy of one another. Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Look to yourself, lest you too be tempted. Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

رَ الرُّوحِ هُوَ: مَحَبَّةٌ فَرَحٌ سَلاَمٌ، طُولُ أَنَاةٍ لُطْفٌ صَلاَحٌ، إِيمَانٌ وَدَاعَةٌ تَعَفُّفٌ. ضِدَّ أَمْثَالِ هَذِهِ لَيْسَ نَامُوسٌ. وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلْمَسِيحِ قَدْ صَلَبُوا الْجَسَدَ مَعَ الأَهْوَاءِ وَالشَّهَوَاتِ. إِنْ كُنَّا نَعِيشُ بِالرُّوحِ فَلْنَسْلُكْ أَيْضاً بِحَسَبِ الرُّوحِ. لاَ نَكُنْ مُعْجِبِينَ نُغَاضِبُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً، وَنَحْسِدُ بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً. أَيُّهَا الإِخْوَةُ، إِنِ انْسَبَقَ إِنْسَانٌ فَأُخِذَ فِي زَلَّةٍ مَا، فَأَصْلِحُوا أَنْتُمُ الرُّوحَانِيِّينَ مِثْلَ هَذَا بِرُوحِ الْوَدَاعَةِ، نَاظِراً إِلَى نَفْسِكَ لِئَلاَّ تُجَرَّبَ أَنْتَ أَيْضاً. اِحْمِلُوا بَعْضُكُمْ أَثْقَالَ بَعْضٍ وَهَكَذَا تَمِّمُوا نَامُوسَ الْمَسِيحِ.

Gospel Reading
Matthew 22:35-46

متى 22: 35-46

At that time, a lawyer came up to Jesus and asked him a question, to test him. "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets."

Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, saying, "What do you think of the Christ? Whose son is he?" They said to him, "The son of David." He said to them, "How is it then that David, inspired by the Spirit, calls him Lord, saying, 'The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand, till I put your enemies under your feet'? If David thus calls him Lord, how is he his son?" And no one was able to answer him a word, nor from that day did anyone dare to ask him any more questions.

35 في ذلك الزمان دنا إلى يسوع نَامُوسِيٌّ ، لِيُجَرِّبَهُ قَائِلاً : 36((يَا مُعَلِّمُ ، أَيَّةُ وَصِيَّةٍ هِيَ الْعُظْمَى فِي النَّامُوسِ؟)) 37فَقَالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: ((تُحِبُّ الرَّبَّ إِلَهَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَلْبِكَ ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ نَفْسِكَ ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ فِكْرِكَ. 38هَذِهِ هِيَ الْوَصِيَّةُ الأُولَى وَالْعُظْمَى.39وَالثَّانِيَةُ مِثْلُهَا: تُحِبُّ قَرِيبَكَ كَنَفْسِكَ. 40بِهَاتَيْنِ الْوَصِيَّتَيْنِ يَتَعَلَّقُ النَّامُوسُ كُلُّهُ وَالأَنْبِيَاءُ)). 41وَفِيمَا كَانَ الْفَرِّيسِيُّونَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ سَأَلَهُمْ يَسُوعُ قَائِلاً : 42((مَاذَا تَظُنُّونَ فِي الْمَسِيحِ؟ ابْنُ مَنْ هُوَ؟)) قَالُوا لَهُ: ((ابْنُ دَاوُدَ)). 43قَالَ لَهُمْ: ((فَكَيْفَ يَدْعُوهُ دَاوُدُ بِالرُّوحِ رَبّاً ؟ قَائِلاً: 44قَالَ الرَّبُّ لِرَبِّي : اجْلِسْ عَنْ يَمِينِي حَتَّى أَضَعَ أَعْدَاءَكَ مَوْطِئاً لِقَدَمَيْكَ. 45فَإِنْ كَانَ دَاوُدُ يَدْعُوهُ رَبّاً ، فَكَيْفَ يَكُونُ ابْنَهُ؟)) 46فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُجِيبَهُ بِكَلِمَةٍ. وَمِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لَمْ يَجْسُرْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ بَتَّةً.
