Matas 7

1 “Neteiskite, kad nebūtumėte teisiami.

2 Kokiu teismu teisiate, tokiu ir patys būsite teisiami, ir kokiu saiku seikite, tokiu ir jums bus atseikėta.

3 Kodėl matai krislą savo brolio akyje, o nepastebi rąsto savojoje?

4 Arba kaip gali sakyti broliui: ‘Leisk, išimsiu krislą iš tavo akies’, kai tavo akyje rąstas?!

5 Veidmainy, pirmiau išritink rąstą iš savo akies, o paskui pažiūrėsi, kaip išimti krislelį iš savo brolio akies”.

6 “Neduokite to, kas šventa, šunims ir nebarstykite savo perlų kiaulėms, kad kartais kojomis jų nesutryptų ir atsigręžusios jūsų pačių nesudraskytų”.

7 “Prašykite, ir jums bus duota, ieškokite, ir rasite, belskite, ir bus jums atidaryta.

8 Kiekvienas, kas prašo, gauna, kas ieško, randa, ir beldžiančiam atidaroma.

9 Argi atsiras iš jūsų žmogus, kuris savo vaikui, prašančiam duonos, duotų akmenį?!

10 Arba jeigu jis prašytų žuvies, nejaugi duotų jam gyvatę?

11 Jei tad jūs, būdami blogi, mokate savo vaikams duoti gerų dalykų, tai juo labiau jūsų Tėvas, kuris yra danguje, duos gera tiems, kurie Jį prašo.

12 Tad visa, ko norite, kad jums darytų žmonės, ir jūs patys jiems darykite; nes tai Įstatymas ir Pranašai”.

13 “Įeikite pro ankštus vartus, nes erdvūs vartai ir platus kelias veda į pražūtį, ir daug yra juo įeinančių.

14 O ankšti vartai ir siauras kelias veda į gyvenimą, ir tik nedaugelis jį randa”.

15 “Saugokitės netikrų pranašų, kurie ateina pas jus avių kailyje, o viduje yra plėšrūs vilkai.

16 Jūs pažinsite juos iš vaisių. Argi kas gali priskinti vynuogių nuo erškėčių ar figų nuo usnių?!

17 Juk kiekvienas geras medis duoda gerus vaisius, o blogas medis­blogus.

18 Geras medis negali duoti blogų vaisių, o blogas­gerų.

19 Kiekvienas medis, kuris neduoda gerų vaisių, nukertamas ir įmetamas į ugnį.

20 Taigi jūs pažinsite juos iš vaisių”.

21 “Ne kiekvienas, kuris man sako: ‘Viešpatie, Viešpatie!’, įeis į dangaus karalystę, bet tas, kuris vykdo valią mano Tėvo, kuris yra danguje.

22 Daugelis man sakys aną dieną: ‘Viešpatie, Viešpatie, argi mes nepranašavome Tavo vardu, argi neišvarinėjome demonų Tavo vardu, argi nedarėme daugybės stebuklų Tavo vardu?!’

23 Tada Aš jiems pareikšiu: ‘Aš niekuomet jūsų nepažinojau. Šalin nuo manęs, jūs piktadariai!’

24 Taigi kiekvienas, kuris klauso šitų mano žodžių ir juos vykdo, panašus į išmintingą žmogų, pasistačiusį savo namą ant uolos.

25 Prapliupo liūtys, ištvino upės, pakilo vėjai ir daužėsi į tą namą. Tačiau jis nesugriuvo, nes buvo pastatytas ant uolos.

26 Ir kiekvienas, kuris klauso šitų mano žodžių ir jų nevykdo, panašus į kvailą žmogų, pasistačiusį savo namą ant smėlio.

27 Prapliupo liūtys, ištvino upės, pakilo vėjai ir daužėsi į tą namą, ir jis sugriuvo, o jo griuvimas buvo smarkus”.

28 Kai Jėzus baigė šiuos žodžius, minios stebėjosi Jo mokymu,

29 nes Jis mokė juos kaip turintis valdžią, o ne kaip ašto žinovai.

1017. That the nature of the multiplying depends on the character of the affection, let the person serve as an example who accepts the basic assumption that faith alone saves somebody even when he does not perform any charitable action, that is, has no charity, and so separates faith from charity. Such a person separates faith from charity not only because he has accepted that assumption since earliest childhood, but also because he really does think that if anyone were to say that charity, or the works of charity, were the essential constituent of faith and led a devout life on those grounds he would inevitably be placing merit in works, which however is a falsity. Thus he rejects charity and considers the works of charity to be worthless, and so keeps solely to the idea of faith, which is no faith at all when devoid of its essential, which is charity. As long as he confirms himself in that assumption he in no way acts from an affection for good but from the affection inherent in the delight of being able to live without any restriction on his evil desires. And anyone among those like this who relies on many different facts to confirm that assumption does not act from an affection for truth but from glory of self, in order that he may consequently appear greater, more learned, and more eminent than everybody else, and so be promoted to the ranks of the distinguished and wealthy. Thus he acts from the delight accompanying the affection, and this delight causes things of a confirmatory nature to multiply, for as stated, the character of the affection determines that of the multiplication. In general, if a basic assumption is false, nothing but falsities can possibly result from it. In fact everything conforms to the basic assumption. Indeed, as I know from experience, which in the Lord's Divine mercy I will describe elsewhere, people who confirm themselves in such basic assumptions concerning faith alone and who have not been governed at all by charity, pay no attention to, and so to speak do not see, all that the Lord has said so many times about love and charity, as in Matthew 3:8-9; 5:7, 43-48; 6:12, 15; 7:1-20; 9:13; 12:33; 13:8, 27; 18:21- end; 19:19; 22:35-39; 24:12-13; 25:34, 40, 41, 45; Mark 4:18-20; 11:13-14, 20; 12:28-34; Luke 3:8-9; 6:27-38, 43-end; 7:47; 8:8, 14-15; 10:25-28; 12:58-59; 13:6-9; John 3:19, 21; 5:42; 13:34-35; 14:15, 21, 23; 15:1-17; 21:15-17.

Matthew 25

Studija

   

1 "Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be like ten virgins, who took their lamps, and went out to meet the bridegroom.

2 Five of them were foolish, and five were wise.

3 Those who were foolish, when they took their lamps, took no oil with them,

4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

5 Now while the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept.

6 But at midnight there was a cry, 'Behold! The bridegroom is coming! Come out to meet him!'

7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

8 The foolish said to the wise, 'Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.'

9 But the wise answered, saying, 'What if there isn't enough for us and you? You go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.'

10 While they went away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut.

11 Afterward the other virgins also came, saying, 'Lord, Lord, open to us.'

12 But he answered, 'Most certainly I tell you, I don't know you.'

13 Watch therefore, for you don't know the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

14 "For it is like a man, going into another country, who called his own servants, and entrusted his goods to them.

15 To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one; to each according to his own ability. Then he went on his journey.

16 Immediately he who received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents.

17 In the same way, he also who got the two gained another two.

18 But he who received the one went away and dug in the earth, and hid his lord's money.

19 "Now after a long time the lord of those servants came, and reconciled accounts with them.

20 He who received the five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, 'Lord, you delivered to me five talents. Behold, I have gained another five talents besides them.'

21 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

22 "He also who got the two talents came and said, 'Lord, you delivered to me two talents. Behold, I have gained another two talents besides them.'

23 "His lord said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a few things, I will set you over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.'

24 "He also who had received the one talent came and said, 'Lord, I knew you that you are a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you did not scatter.

25 I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the earth. Behold, you have what is yours.'

26 "But his lord answered him, 'You wicked and slothful servant. You knew that I reap where I didn't sow, and gather where I didn't scatter.

27 You ought therefore to have deposited my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received back my own with interest.

28 Take away therefore the talent from him, and give it to him who has the ten talents.

29 For to everyone who has will be given, and he will have abundance, but from him who doesn't have, even that which he has will be taken away.

30 Throw out the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'

31 "But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.

32 Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.

33 He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

34 Then the King will tell those on his right hand, 'Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

35 for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in.

36 I was naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me.'

37 "Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink?

38 When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you?

39 When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?'

40 "The King will answer them, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'

41 Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;

42 for I was hungry, and you didn't give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink;

43 I was a stranger, and you didn't take me in; naked, and you didn't clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn't visit me.'

44 "Then they will also answer, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and didn't help you?'

45 "Then he will answer them, saying, 'Most certainly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn't do it to one of the least of these, you didn't do it to me.'

46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."
