Matthew 10:25
He teaches them to bear every kind of abuse patiently, and not to think themselves above the Master.
Greek
Πλὴν τοὺς ἁγίους ὁ πάλαι νόμος ἐκώλυσε συγκολλᾶσθαι τοῖς βεβή λοις, ἵνα μὴ παρολισθήσῃ αὐτῶν ὁ νοῦς, οὐ μὴν τὸ ἐναντίον, 11 ἐὰν προσ τρέχῃ βέβηλος ἁγίῳ, δεῖ αὐτὸν ἀποστρέφεσθαι κατὰ τό· "οὐ βδελύξῃ Ἰδουμαῖον οὐδὲ Αἰγύπτιον". ἀλλ' ἐπὶ Χριστοῦ οὐδὲν τοιοῦτον δεῖ ἐννο εῖν τοῦ πάσης κακίας καὶ πάθους ἀνωτέρου· πίστιν γὰρ θέλει δικαιοῦ σαν τὸν ἄνθρωπον, οὐ τὸν ἐν γράμμασιν νόμον τὸν τὰς δι' αἱμάτων θυσίας ἐπιτάττοντα, ὅπερ σαφηνίζων ἐπάγει καὶ "ἐπίγνωσιν θεοῦ ἢ ὁλοκαυτώματα· ἔλεος" γάρ ἐστιν ὁ εὐαγγελικὸς λόγος. διὸ ἐκ πίστεως δικαιούμεθα δωρεὰν ἄνευ ἔργων νόμου. καλεῖ δὲ οὐ τοὺς ἐγγὺς ὄντας, ἀλλὰ τοὺς μακρὰν ἀφεστηκότας.
