1 TMOTHY
4.12-5.10
Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through prophecy when the body of elders laid their hands on you. Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
Do not rebuke an older man harshly but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers, older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.
Give proper recognition to those widows who are really in need. But if a widow has children or grandchildren, these should learn first of all to put their religion into practice by caring for their own family and so repaying their parents and grandparents, for this is pleasing to God. The widow who is really in need and left all alone puts her hope in God and continues night and day to pray and to ask God for help. But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives. Give the people these instructions, so that no one may be open to blame. Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband, and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the Lord’s people, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.
JOHN
3.13-21
No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven the Sonof Man. Justas Moses lifted upthe snakein thewilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, f 15that everyone who believes may haveeternal lifein him.”
ForGod so loved the world thathe gavehis one and only Son, thatwhoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son intothe world to condemnthe world, buttosave the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the nameofGod’soneandonlySon.Thisistheverdict:Lighthascomeintothe world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who doesevil hates the lightand will notcome into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes intothe light, sothat itmay be seen plainly thatwhat they have done has been done in the sight of God.
COMMEMORATION OF ST. GREGORY THE THEOLOGIAN
Saint Gregory the Theologian, Archbishop of Constantinople, is one of the 12 Holy Fathers of Universal Church. He was born into a Christian family in 328 , it Arianzos, not far from the city of Nazianzus, Cappadocia. His father, also named Gregory was Bishop of Nazianzus.
St. Gregory studied in Caesaria, then in Athens and received extensive philosophical and rhetoric education. In Athens Gregory became acquainted with St. Basil of Caesarea - one of the prominent figures of Christianity. After leading ascetic life for a while, Gregory returned to Naziangue, where he was baptized and ordained as a priest by his father. Later, Saint Basil the Great made Saint Gregory the Bishop of the city of Sasima, a small town between Caesarea and Tyana.
Together with St. Basil of Caesarea St. Gregory the Theologian struggled against the Arians. He participated ad presided in the 2nd Ecumenical Council of Constantinople. St. Gregory passed away on January 25, 389 AD.
St. Gregory the Theologian has left rich literary heritage, which was translated into Armenian in the 5-8th centuries. Most probability St. Moses of Khoronk translated some of his work into Armenian. St. Gregory the Theologian is one of the most prominent figures of Christianity and his works he has greatly influenced the formulation of the Orthodox Christian ideology.
DID YOU KNOW?...
St. Gregory of Nazianzus is honored with the title “Theologian,” also given to the holy Apostle and Evangelist John and St Simeon the New Theologian. No other saint has earned this title since the eleventh century.
