Τῇ προσευχῇ προσκαρτερεῖτε γρηγοροῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ ἐν εὐχαριστίᾳ
Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
τῇ ἐλπίδι χαίροντες τῇ θλίψει ὑπομένοντες τῇ προσευχῇ προσκαρτεροῦντες
Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer;
μηδὲν μεριμνᾶτε ἀλλ' ἐν παντὶ τῇ προσευχῇ καὶ τῇ δεήσει μετὰ εὐχαριστίας τὰ αἰτήματα ὑμῶν γνωριζέσθω πρὸς τὸν θεόν
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your be made requests known unto God.
διὰ πάσης προσευχῆς καὶ δεήσεως προσευχόμενοι ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ ἐν πνεύματι καὶ εἰς αὐτὸ τοῦτο ἀγρυπνοῦντες ἐν πάσῃ προσκαρτερήσει καὶ δεήσει περὶ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
אֲנִי אֶל-אֱלֹהִים אֶקְרָא וַיהוָה יוֹשִׁיעֵֽנִי׃
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
וּקְרָאתֶם אֹתִי וַֽהֲלַכְתֶּם וְהִתְפַּלַּלְתֶּם אֵלָי וְשָׁמַעְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶֽם׃
Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
ἀγρυπνεῖτε οὖν ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ δεόμενοι ἵνα καταξιωθῆτε ἐκφυγεῖν ταῦτα πάντα τὰ μέλλοντα γίνεσθαι καὶ σταθῆναι ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
τὸ δὲ καλὸν ποιοῦντες μὴ ἐκκακῶμεν· καιρῷ γὰρ ἰδίῳ θερίσομεν μὴ ἐκλυόμενοι
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
חָנֵּנִי אֲדֹנָי כִּי אֵלֶיךָ אֶקְרָא כָּל-הַיּֽוֹם׃
Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily.
פָּנָה אֶל-תְּפִלַּת הָעַרְעָר וְלֹֽא-בָזָה אֶת-תְּפִלָּתָֽם׃
He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
Καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς Τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἕξει φίλον καὶ πορεύσεται πρὸς αὐτὸν μεσονυκτίου καὶ εἴπῃ αὐτῷ Φίλε χρῆσόν μοι τρεῖς ἄρτους
And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
Διὰ τοῦτο ἔχοντες τὴν διακονίαν ταύτην καθὼς ἠλεήθημεν οὐκ ἐκκακοῦμεν·
Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
זָעַקְתִּי אֵלֶיךָ יְהוָה אָמַרְתִּי אַתָּה מַחְסִי חֶלְקִי בְּאֶרֶץ הַֽחַיִּים׃
I cried unto thee, O LORD: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living.
ἀσπάζεται ὑμᾶς Ἐπαφρᾶς ὁ ἐξ ὑμῶν δοῦλος Χριστοῦ πάντοτε ἀγωνιζόμενος ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν ἐν ταῖς προσευχαῖς ἵνα στῆτε τέλειοι καὶ πεπληρωμένοι ἐν παντὶ θελήματι τοῦ θεοῦ
Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
שֹׁמֵעַ תְּפִלָּה עָדֶיךָ כָּל-בָּשָׂר יָבֹֽאוּ׃
O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
וַיִּוָּתֵר יַֽעֲקֹב לְבַדּוֹ וַיֵּֽאָבֵק אִישׁ עִמּוֹ עַד עֲלוֹת הַשָּֽׁחַר׃
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
בְּהִתְעַטֵּף עָלַי נַפְשִׁי אֶת-יְהוָה זָכָרְתִּי וַתָּבוֹא אֵלֶיךָ תְּפִלָּתִי אֶל-הֵיכַל קָדְשֶֽׁךָ׃
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
לׅׄוּׅׄלֵׅׄאׅׄ הֶאֱמַנְתִּי לִרְאוֹת בְּֽטוּב-יְהוָה בְּאֶרֶץ חַיִּֽים׃
I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
וַיֹּאמֶר יַֽעֲקֹב אֱלֹהֵי אָבִי אַבְרָהָם וֵֽאלֹהֵי אָבִי יִצְחָק יְהוָה הָֽאֹמֵר אֵלַי שׁוּב לְאַרְצְךָ וּלְמֽוֹלַדְתְּךָ וְאֵיטִיבָה עִמָּֽךְ׃
And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
