Feast of St. ženklas

First Letter of Peter

5:5	Panašiai, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, bet nuolankiesiems suteikia malonę.
5:6	Ir taip, būk pažemintas po galinga Dievo ranka, kad jis tave išaukštintų apsilankymo metu.
5:7	Visus savo rūpesčius meskite jam, nes jis tavimi rūpinasi.
5:8	Būkite blaivūs ir budrūs. Savo priešininkui, Velnias, yra kaip riaumojantis liūtas, keliauja aplinkui ir ieško tų, kuriuos galėtų praryti.
5:9	Pasipriešinkite jam būdami stiprūs tikėjime, žinodami, kad tos pačios aistros kamuoja ir tuos, kurie yra jūsų broliai pasaulyje.
5:10	Bet visos malonės Dievas, kuris pašaukė mus į savo amžinąją šlovę Kristuje Jėzuje, pats tobulės, patvirtinti, ir įkurti mus, po trumpos kančios.
5:11	Jam šlovė ir valdžia per amžių amžius. Amen.
5:12	Rašiau trumpai, per Silvaną, kurį laikau tau ištikimu broliu, maldauja ir liudija, kad tai yra tikroji Dievo malonė, kurioje įsitvirtinote.
5:13	Bažnyčia, kuri yra Babilone, renkasi kartu su tavimi, sveikina tave, kaip ir mano sūnus, ženklas.
5:14	Pasveikinkite vieni kitus šventu bučiniu. Malonė jums visiems, kurie esate Kristuje Jėzuje. Amen.

12:45	And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
12:46	I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness.
