Galatians 2: 20 +++ Lifted up upon the Cross, O Christ, with Thyself Thou didst raise up fallen mankind and didst cast down all the power of the enemy, O Word. Wherefore, I hymn the sufferings of Thee Who suffered and hast delivered me from the passions. Tone 1, Wednesday Matins, From Ode 1

but unworthy is he whom He shall find in slothfulness

For though we walk in the flesh

After two days He will revive us

declares the Lord

He who seeks knowledge of God

[a]if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it

O Sovereign Lady

according to the computation of certain expositors

an exceedingly great army

protect yourself from it

may the sign of Christ be on my forehead

Christ in the mouth of every man who speaks of me
