Remember, although I attempted to provide a footnote for all words used 20x or less in the New Testament with a gloss, I may have missed some. Also, you may not know all words used more than 20x in the New Testament. Don’t let that stop you from participating. Just visit Perseus’ word study tool here, copy and paste the word you don’t know, and get morphological information and definitions for that word.

Week 2: Homily 1, Section 2-3
β´. Παραινέσας[1] τοίνυν αὐτοῖς ὁμονοεῖν,[2] καὶ δείξας ὅτι ἀπὸ ταπεινοφροσύνης[3] ἡ ὁμόνοια[4] γίνεται, καὶ διατεινάμενος[5] πρὸς τοὺς πανταχοῦ[6] τῷ δόγματι[7] λυμαινομένους[8] Ἰουδαίους προσχήματι[9] Χριστιανισμοῦ, κύνας[10] τε αὐτοὺς καλέσας καὶ κακοὺς ἐργάτας, καὶ παραινέσας ἀπέχεσθαι[11] αὐτῶν, καὶ πείσας τίσι δεῖ προσέχειν, καὶ περὶ ἠθικῶν[12] πολλὰ διαλεχθεὶς,[13] καὶ ῥυθμίσας[14] αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἀνακτησάμενος[15] διὰ τοῦ εἰπεῖν, Ὁ Κύριος ἐγγύς, μέμνηται μετὰ τῆς προσηκούσης[16] αὐτῷ συνέσεως[17] καὶ τῶν πεμφθέντων, καὶ οὕτω πολλὴν τὴν παράκλησιν προσάγε.[18] Φαίνεται δὲ μετὰ πολλῆς αὐτοῖς μάλιστα[19] γράφων τιμῆς, καὶ οὐδὲν προτίθησιν[20] ἐπιπληκτικὸν[21] οὐδαμοῦ, ὅπερ ἦν τεκμήριον[22] τῆς ἀρετῆς[23] αὐτῶν, τὸ μηδεμίαν δοῦναι τῷ διδασκάλῳ λαβὴν, μηδὲ ἐν τάξει[24] ἐπιτιμήσεως, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν τάξει παραινέσεω; πάντα πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐπεσταλκέναι.[25] Ὅπερ δὲ ἔφην καὶ ἐξ ἀρχῆς, τοῦτο καὶ νῦν ἐρῶ, ὅτι ἡ πόλις αὕτη πολλὴν ἐπεδείξατο[26] εἰς τὴν πίστιν ἐπιτηδειότητα,[27] εἴγε ὁ δεσμοφύλαξ[28] (ἵστε[29] δὲ, ὅτι πάσης τὸ πρᾶγμα[30] κακίας μεστὸν[31]) εὐθέως ἀπὸ ἑνὸς σημείου καὶ προσέδραμε,[32] καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη μετὰ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτοῦ παντός. Τὸ μὲν γὰρ γεγονὸς σημεῖον εἶδε μόνος αὐτός· τὸ δὲ κέρδος[33] οὐ μόνος ἐκαρπώσατο,[34] ἀλλὰ καὶ μετὰ τῆς γυναικὸς καὶ τοῦ οἴκου παντός. Ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτοὶ οἱ στρατηγοὶ[35] οἱ μαστίξαντες[36] αὐτὸν εὑρίσκονται ἀπὸ συναρπαγῆς[37] μᾶλλον, καὶ οὐ πονηρίαν τοῦτο πεποιηκότες, τῷ τε εὐθέως πέμψαι καὶ ἀφεῖναι αὐτὸν, καὶ τῷ φοβηθῆναι ὕστερον.[38] Μαρτυρεῖ δὲ αὐτοῖς οὐκ ἐν πίστει μόνον, οὐδὲ ἐν κινδύνοις,[39] ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν εὐποιΐᾳ.[40] δι᾽ ὧν φησιν, ὅτι Καὶ ἐν ἀρχῇ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου καὶ ἅπαξ[41] καὶ δὶς εἰς τὴν χρείαν μου ἐπέμψατε, οὐδενὸς ἑτέρου τοῦτο πεποιηκότος. Οὐδεμία γάρ μοι, φησὶν. Ἐκκλησία ἐκοινώνησεν[42] εἰς λόγον δόσεως[43] καὶ λήψεως·[44] τὴν ἔλλειψιν[45] δὲ ἀκαιρίας[46] εἶναι μᾶλλον, ἢ προαιρέσεως[47] δείκνυσι λέγων· Οὐκ ὅτι οὐκ ἐφρονεῖτε, φησὶν, ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ, ἠκαιρεῖσθε[48] δέ. Τοῦτο δὲ πολὺ πρὸς αὐτοὺς φίλτρον[49] ἔχειν ἐμφαίνει.[50] Ὅτι γὰρ ἐφίλει σφόδρα αὐτοὺς, δῆλον·[51] Οὐδένα γὰρ ἔχω, φησὶν, ἰσόψυχον,[52] ὅστις γνησίως[53] τὰ περὶ ὑμῶν μεριμνήσει· καὶ πάλιν, διὰ τὸ ἔχειν με ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ ὑμᾶς, ἐν τε τοῖς δεσμοῖς[54] μου.
γ´. ταῦτα οὖν εἰδότες καὶ ἡμεῖς, καὶ τοσούτους ἔχοντες τύπους ἀγάπης, ἑαυτοὺς παρέχωμεν[55] ἀξίους τῶν τοιούτων ὑποδειγμάτων,[56] περὶ τὸ πάσχειν ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ ἕτοιμοι[57] γινόμενοι. Ἀλλὰ νῦν οὐκ ἔστιν ὁ διωγμός.[58] Οὐκοῦν κᾶν μηδὲν ἕτερον, μιμώμεθα[59] αὐτῶν τὴν εὐποιΐαν τὴν μετὰ σφοδρότητος,[60] μηδὲ, ἐὰν ἅπαξ δῶμεν καὶ δεύτερον, τὸ πᾶν ἡγώμεθα πεπληρωκέναι· διὰ παντὸς γὰρ τοῦ βίου[61] τοῦτο χρὴ[62] ποιεῖν· οὐ γὰρ ἅπαξ εὐαρεστεῖν[63] δεῖ, ἀλλὰ διηνεκῶς.[64] Καὶ γὰρ ὁ τρέχων, ἐὰν δέκα διαύλους[65] δραμὼν,[66] τὸν ὕστερον ἀφῇ. τὸ πᾶν ἀπώλεσε· καὶ ἡμεῖς, ἐὰν ἀρξάμενοι τῶν ἀγαθῶν ἔργων, ὕστερον ἐκλυθῶμεν,[67] τὸ πᾶν ἀπωλέσαμεν, τὸ πᾶν διεφθείραμεν.[68] Ἄκουε τῆς ἐπωφελοῦς[69] παραινέσεως λεγούσης· Ἐλεημοσύναι,[70] φησὶ, καὶ πίστεις μὴ ἐκλειπέτωσαν[71] σε. Οὐκ εἶπεν, Ἅπαξ ποίησον, οὐδὲ δεύτερον, οὐδὲ τρίτον, οὐδὲ δέκατον, οὐδὲ ἑκατοστὴν,[72] ἀλλὰ διαπαντὸς, Μὴ ἐκλειπέτωσάν σε, φησί. Καὶ οὐκ εἶπε, Μὴ αὐτὰς ἐγκαταλείπῃς,[73] ἀλλὰ, Αὐταί σε μὴ ἐγκαταλείπωσι· δεικνὺς ὅτι ἡμεῖς αὐτῶν δεόμεθα, οὐχ αὐται ἡμῶν, καὶ διδάσκων ὅτι πάντα πράττειν ὀφείλομεν, ὥστε αὐτὰς κατέχειν[74] παρ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς. Ἔφαψαι[75] δὲ αὐτὰς, φησὶν, ἐπὶ σῷ τραχήλῳ.[76] Ὥστερ γὰρ τὰ τῶν εὐπόρων[77] παιδία κόσμον ἔχει χρυσοῦν περὶ τὸν τράχηλον, καὶ οὐδέποτε αὐτὸν ἀποτίθεται,[78] ὡς τῆς εὐγενείας[79] δεῖγμα[80] φέροντα· οὔτω καὶ τὴν ἐλεημοσύνην ἀεὶ δεῖ ἑαυτοῖς περιτιθέναι.[81] δεικνύντας ὅτι τοῦ οἰκτίρμονός[82] ἐσμεν παῖδες, τοῦ τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντος[83] ἐπὶ πονηροὺς καὶ ἀγαθούς.
Ἀλλ᾽ οὐ πιστεύουσιν οἱ ἄπιστοι; Οὐκοῦν διὰ τούτων πιστεύσουσιν, ἐὰν ἡμεῖς ἐργαζώμεθα ταῦτα. Ἐὰν γὰρ ἴδωσιν, ὅτι πάντας ἐλεοῦμεν, καὶ ἐκεῖνον ἐπιγραφόμεθα[84] διδάσκαλον, εἴσονται ὅτι αὐτὸν μιμούμενοι τοῦτο πράττομεν. Καὶ τοῦτο οὐχ ἁπλῶς[85] ποιεῖν δεῖ, ἀλλὰ μετά προσοχῆς[86] καὶ ἀσφαλείας.[87] Ἐλεημοσύνη γὰρ, φησὶ, καὶ πίστις ἔστω σοι ἀληθής. Καλῶς εἶπεν, ἀληθής· οὐ γὰρ ἐξ ἁρπαγῆς[88] βούλεται, οὐδὲ ἀπὸ κλοπῆς·[89] τοῦτο γὰρ οὐκ ἔστι πίστις, οὐκ ἔστιν ἀληθὴς ἐλεημοσύνη. Καὶ γὰρ τὸν κλέπτοντα[90] ψεύδεσθαι[91] ἀνάγκη,[92] καὶ ἐπιορκεῖν[93] δεῖ· σὺ δὲ μὴ οὕτως, ἀλλὰ μετὰ τῆς ἐλεημοσύνης πίστιν ἔχε, φησί.
