they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. JOHN. For the hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear his 31.701 voice, and will come out, those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment. TO THE ROMANS. Or do you despise the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness leads you to repentance? But in accordance with your hardness and your unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation and of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to each one according to his deeds. ACTS. Therefore, having overlooked the times of ignorance, God now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world. That those who repent must weep bitterly, and show the rest, all that is proper to repentance, from the heart. Chap. 3. MATTHEW. And Peter remembered the word of Jesus who had said to him, “Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” And he went out and wept bitterly. 2 CORINTHIANS. But He who comforts the downcast comforted us by the coming of Titus. And not only by his coming, but also by the consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me. And after a little: For behold, this very thing, that you were made sorry in a godly manner, what diligence it produced in you; but what clearing of yourselves, but what indignation, but what fear, but what vehement desire, but what zeal, but what avenging of wrong! In all things you have proved yourselves to be clear in this matter. ACTS. And many who had believed came confessing and telling their deeds. Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of them all. That for those who repent, the withdrawal from sins alone is not sufficient for salvation, but they also need fruits worthy of repentance. Chap. 4. MATTHEW. But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. That after the departure from here there is no time for good deeds, since God has measured out the present time 31.704 with long-suffering for the working of things that are well-pleasing to him. Chap. 5. MATTHEW. Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ LUKE.

αἰτήσωνται, γενήσεται αὐτοῖς παρὰ τοῦ Πατρός μου τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς. ΙΩΑΝΝΗΣ. Ὅτι ἔρχεται ὥρα, ἐν ᾖ πάντες οἱ ἐν τοῖς μνημείοις ἀκούσονται τῆς 31.701 φωνῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκπορεύσονται, οἱ τὰ ἀγαθὰ ποιήσαντες, εἰς ἀνάστασιν ζωῆς· οἱ δὲ τὰ φαῦλα πράξαντες, εἰς ἀνάστασιν κρίσεως. ΠΡΟΣ ΡΩΜ. Ἧ τοῦ πλούτου τῆς χρηστότητος αὐτοῦ, καὶ τῆς ἀνοχῆς, καὶ τῆς μακροθυμίας καταφρονεῖς, ἀγνοῶν, ὅτι τὸ χρηστὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ εἰς μετάνοιάν σε ἄγει; Κατὰ δὲ τὴν σκληρότητά σου, καὶ ἀμε τανόητον καρδίαν, θησαυρίζεις ἑαυτῷ ὀργὴν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ὀργῆς καὶ ἀποκαλύψεως, καὶ δικαιοκρι σίας τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὃς ἀποδώσει ἑκάστῳ κατὰ τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ. ΠΡΑΞΕΙΣ. Τοὺς μὲν οὖν χρόνους τῆς ἀγνοίας ὑπεριδὼν ὁ Θεὸς, τὰ νῦν παραγγέλλει τοῖς ἀνθρώποις πᾶσι πανταχοῦ μετανοεῖν· καθότι ἔστησεν ἡμέραν, ἐν ᾗ μέλλει κρίνειν τὴν οἰκουμένην. Ὅτι δεῖ τοὺς μετανοοῦντας κλαίειν πικρῶς, καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ, ὅσα ἴδια τῆς μετανοίας, ἐκ καρδίας ἐπι δείκνυσθαι. Κεφάλ. γʹ. ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΣ. Καὶ ἐμνήσθη ὁ Πέτρος τοῦ ῥήμα τος Ἰησοῦ εἰρηκότος αὐτῷ, ὅτι Πρὶν ἢ ἀλέκτορα φωνῆσαι, τρὶς ἀπαρνήσῃ με. Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἔξω, ἔκλαυσε πικρῶς. ΠΡΟΣ ΚΟΡ. βʹ. Ἀλλ' ὁ παρα καλῶν τοὺς ταπεινοὺς, παρεκάλεσεν ἡμᾶς ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ Τίτου. Οὐ μόνον δὲ ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν τῇ παρακλήσει ᾗ παρεκλήθη ὑφ' ὑμῖν, ἀναγγέλλων ἡμῖν τὴν ὑμῶν ἐπιπόθη σιν, τὸν ὑμῶν ὀδυρμὸν, τὸν ὑμῶν ζῆλον ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ. Καὶ μετ' ὀλίγα· Ἰδοὺ γὰρ αὐτὸ τοῦτο τὸ κατὰ Θεὸν λυπηθῆναι ὑμᾶς, πόσην κατειργάσατο ἐν ὑμῖν σπουδήν· ἀλλὰ ἀπολογίαν, ἀλλὰ ἀγα νάκτησιν, ἀλλὰ φόβον, ἀλλὰ ἐπιπόθησιν, ἀλλὰ ζῆλον, ἀλλὰ ἐκδίκησιν· ἐν παντὶ συνεστήσατε ἑαυτοὺς ἁγνοὺς εἶναι ἐν τῷ πράγματι. ΠΡΑΞΕΙΣ. Πολλοί τε τῶν πεπιστευκότων ἤρχοντο, ἐξομολο γούμενοι καὶ ἀναγγέλλοντες τὰς πράξεις αὐτῶν. Ἱκανοί τε τῶν τὰ περίεργα πραξάντων συγκομίσαντες τὰς βίβλους κατέκαιον ἐνώπιον αὐ τῶν. Ὅτι τοῖς μετανοοῦσιν οὐκ ἀρκεῖ πρὸς σωτηρίαν ἡ ἀναχώρησις μόνη τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων, χρεία δὲ αὐτοῖς καὶ καρπῶν ἀξίων τῆς μετανοίας. Κεφάλ. δʹ. ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΣ. Ἰδὼν δὲ πολλοὺς τῶν Φαρισαίων καὶ Σαδδουκαίων ἐρχομένους ἐπὶ τὸ βάπτισμα αὐτοῦ, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν, τίς ὑπέδειξεν ὑμῖν φυγεῖν ἀπὸ τῆς μελλούσης ὀρ γῆς; Ποιήσατε οὖν καρποὺς ἀξίους τῆς μετα νοίας, καὶ μὴ δόξητε λέγειν ἐν ἑαυτοῖς· Πα τέρα ἔχομεν τὸν Ἀβραάμ. Λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν, ὅτι δύναται ὁ Θεὸς ἐκ τῶν λίθων τούτων ἐγεῖραι τέκνα τῷ Ἀβραάμ. Ἤδη δὲ καὶ ἡ ἀξίνη πρὸς τὴν ῥίζαν τῶν δένδρων κεῖται. Πᾶν οὖν δένδρον, μὴ ποιοῦν καρπὸν καλὸν, ἐκκόπτεται, καὶ εἰς πῦρ βάλλεται. Ὅτι μετὰ τὴν ἐντεῦθεν ἀπαλλαγὴν οὐκ ἔστι καιρὸς κατορθωμάτων, τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸν παρόντα καιρὸν 31.704 ἐπιμετρήσαντος ἐν μακροθυμίᾳ εἰς ἐργασίαν τῶν πρὸς τὴν αὐτοῦ εὐαρέστησιν. Κεφάλ. εʹ. ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΣ. Τότε ὁμοιωθήσεται ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν δέκα παρθένοις, αἵτινες, λαβοῦσαι τὰς λαμπάδας αὑτῶν, ἐξῆλθον εἰς ἀπάντησιν τοῦ νυμφίου. Πέντε δὲ ἦσαν ἐξ αὐτῶν φρόνιμοι, καὶ πέντε μωραί· αἵτινες μωραὶ, λαβοῦσαι τὰς λαμπάδας αὑτῶν, οὐκ ἔλαβον μεθ' ἑαυτῶν ἔλαιον· αἱ δὲ φρόνιμοι ἔλαβον ἔλαιον ἐν τοῖς ἀγγείοις αὑτῶν μετὰ τῶν λαμπάδων αὑτῶν. Χρονίζοντος δὲ τοῦ νυμφίου, ἐνύσταξαν πᾶσαι καὶ ἐκάθευ δον. Μέσης δὲ νυκτὸς κραυγὴ γέγονεν· Ἰδοὺ ὁ νυμφίος ἔρχεται, ἐξέρχεσθε εἰς ἀπάντησιν αὐ τοῦ. Τότε ἠγέρθησαν πᾶσαι αἱ παρθένοι ἐκεῖναι, καὶ ἐκόσμησαν τὰς λαμπάδας αὑτῶν. Αἱ δὲ μωραὶ ταῖς φρονίμοις εἶπον· ∆ότε ἡμῖν ἐκ τοῦ ἐλαίου ὑμῶν, ὅτι αἱ λαμπάδες ἡμῶν σβέννυνται. Ἀπεκρίθησαν δὲ αἱ φρόνιμοι, λέγουσαι· Μή ποτε οὐκ ἀρκέσῃ ἡμῖν καὶ ὑμῖν· πορεύεσθε δὲ μᾶλλον πρὸς τοὺς πωλοῦντας, καὶ ἀγοράσατε ἑαυταῖς. Ἀπερχομένων δὲ αὐτῶν ἀγοράσαι, ἦλ θεν ὁ νυμφίος, καὶ αἱ ἕτοιμοι εἰσῆλθον μετ' αὐ τοῦ εἰς τοὺς γάμους, καὶ ἐκλείσθη ἡ θύρα. Ὕστερον δὲ ἔρχονται καὶ αἱ λοιπαὶ παρθένοι, λέγουσαι· Κύριε, Κύριε, ἄνοιξον ἡμῖν. Ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς, εἶπεν· Ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, οὐκ οἶδα ὑμᾶς. ΛΟΥΚΑΣ. Ἀγωνίσασθε εἰσελθεῖν διὰ τῆς στενῆς πύλης, ὅτι πολλοὶ, λέγω ὑμῖν, ζητή σουσιν εἰσελθεῖν, καὶ
