Ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου, Κύριε, ὁ Θεὸς τῆς ἀληθείας, καὶ τοῦ μονογενοῦς σου Υἱοῦ, καὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου σου Πνεύματος, ἐπιτίθημι τὴν χεῖρά μου ἐπὶ τὸν δοῦλον (τὴν δούλην) σου (τόνδε) (τήνδε) τὸν καταξιωθέντα (τὴν καταξιωθεῖσαν) καταφυγεῖν ἐπὶ τὸ ἅγιον ὄνομά σου, καὶ ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην τῶν πτερύγων σου διαφυλαχθῆναι. Ἀπόστησον ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ (αὐτὴν) τὴν παλαιὰν ἐκείνην πλάνην, καὶ ἔμπλησον αὐτὸν (αὐτὴν) τῆς εἰς σὲ πίστεως καὶ ἐλπίδος καὶ ἀγάπης, ἵνα γνῶ ὅτι σὺ εἶ Θεὸς μόνος, Θεὸς ἀληθινός, καὶ ὁ μονογενής σου Υἱός, ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, καὶ τὸ Ἅγιόν σου Πνεῦμα. Δὸς αὐτῷ (αὐτῇ) ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἐντολαῖς σου πορευθῆναι, καὶ τὰ ἀρεστά σοι φυλάξαι· ὅτι ἐὰν ποιήσῃ αὐτὰ ἄνθρωπος ζήσεται ἐν αὐτοῖς. Γράψον αὐτὸν (αὐτὴν) ἐν βίβλῳ ζωῆς σου καὶ ἔνωσον αὐτὸν (αὐτὴν) τῇ ποίμνῃ τῆς κληρονομίας σου· δοξασθήτω τὸ ὄνομά σου τὸ ἅγιον ἐπʼ αὐτῷ (αὐτῇ) καὶ τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ σου Υἱοῦ, Κυρίου δὲ ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, καὶ τοῦ ζωοποιοῦ σου Πνεύματος. Ἔστωσαν οἱ ὀφθαλμοί σου ἀτενίζοντες εἰς αὐτὸν (αὐτὴν) ἐν ἐλέει διαπαντός, καὶ τὰ ὦτά σου τοῦ ἀκούειν τῆς φωνῆς τῆς δεήσεως αὐτοῦ (αὐτῆς). Εὔφρανον αὐτὸν (αὐτὴν) ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν αὐτοῦ (αὐτῆς), καὶ ἐν παντὶ τῷ γένει αὐτοῦ (αὐτῆς)· Ἵνα ἐξομολογήσηταί σοι, προσκυνῶν (προσκυνοῦσα) καὶ δοξάζων (δοξάζουσα) τὸ ὄνομά σου τὸ μέγα καὶ ὕψιστον, καὶ αἰνέσῃ σε διαπαντὸς πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ζωῆς αὐτοῦ (αὐτῆς).

In Your Name, O Lord God of Truth, and in the Name of Your Only-Begotten Son, and of Your Holy Spirit, I lay my hand upon this Your servant (Name), who has been accounted worthy to flee unto Your Holy Name and to be sheltered under the shadow of Your wings. Remove far from him (her) that ancient error, and fill him (her) I with faith and hope and love that is in You, that he (she) may know that You alone are the True God, and Your Only-Begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and Your Holy Spirit. Grant him (her) to walk in Your commandments, and to observe those things that are acceptable before You; for if a man does such he shall find life in them. Inscribe him (her) in Your Book of Life, and unite him (her) to the flock of Your inheritance. Let Your Holy Name be glorified in him (her) and that of Your well-beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and of Your Life-creating Spirit. Let Your eyes look over him (her) in mercy, and Your ears be ever attentive unto the voice of his (her) prayer. Let him (her) ever rejoice in the works of his (her) hands, and in all his (her) generation, that he (she) may give thanks to You, worshipping and glorifying Your great and Most High Name, and may ever praise You all the days of his (her) life.

Ἐπιτιμᾷ σοι Κύριος, Διάβολε, ὁ παραγενόμενος εἰς τὸν κόσμον καὶ κατασκηνώσας ἐν ἀνθρώποις, ἵνα τὴν σὴν καθέλῃ τυραννίδα καὶ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐξέληται· ὃς ἐπὶ ξύλου τὰς ἀντικειμένας δυνάμεις ἐθριάμβευσεν, ἡλίου σκοτισθέντος καὶ γῆς σαλευομένης, καὶ μνημάτων ἀνοιγομένων, καὶ σωμάτων Ἁγίων ἀνισταμένων· ὃς ἔλυσε θανάτῳ τὸν θάνατον, καὶ κατήργησε τὸν τὸ κράτος ἔχοντα τοῦ θανάτου, τουτέστι, σὲ τὸν Διάβολον. Ὁρκίζω σε κατὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ, τοῦ δείξαντος τὸ ξύλον τῆς ζωῆς καὶ τάξαντος τὰ Χερουβὶμ καὶ τὴν φλογίνην ῥομφαίαν τὴν στρεφομένην φρουρεῖν αὐτό. Ἐπιτιμήθητι καὶ ἀναχώρησον· κατʼ ἐκείνου γάρ σε ὁρκίζω τοῦ περιπατήσαντος, ὡς ἐπὶ ξηρᾶς, ἐπὶ νῶτα θαλάσσης, καὶ ἐπιτιμήσαντος τῇ λαίλαπι τῶν ἀνέμων· οὗ τὸ βλέμμα ξηραίνει ἀβύσσους καὶ ἡ ἀπειλὴ τήκει ὄρη. Αὐτὸς γὰρ καὶ νῦν ἐπιτάσσει σοι διʼ ἡμῶν· Φοβήθητι, ἔξελθε, καὶ ὑπαναχώρησον ἀπὸ τοῦ πλάσματος τούτου, καὶ μὴ ὑποστρέψῃς, μηδὲ ὑποκρυβῇς ἐν αὐτῷ, μηδὲ συναντήσῃς αὐτῷ ἢ ἐνεργήσῃς, μὴ ἐν νυκτί, μὴ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἢ ὤρᾳ ἢ ἐν μεσημβρίᾳ· ἀλλʼ ἄπελθε εἰς τὸν ἴδιον τάρταρον, ἕως τῆς ἡτοιμασμένης μεγάλης ἡμέρας τῆς κρίσεως. Φοβήθητι τὸν Θεὸν τὸν καθήμενον ἐπὶ τῶν Χερουβίμ, καὶ ἐπιβλέποντα ἀβύσσους· ὃν τρέμουσιν Ἄγγελοι, Ἀρχάγγελοι, Θρόνοι, Κυριότητες, Ἀρχαί, Ἐξουσίαι, Δυνάμεις, τὰ πολυόμματα Χερουβίμ, καὶ τὰ ἑξαπτέρυγα Σεραφίμ· ὃν τρέμει ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ, ἡ θάλασσα καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐν αὐτοῖς. Ἔξελθε καὶ ἀναχώρησον ἀπὸ τοῦ σφραγισθέντος νεολέκτου στρατιώτου Χριστοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν· κατʼ ἐκείνου γάρ σε ὁρκίζω, τοῦ περιπατοῦντος ἐπὶ πτερύγων ἀνέμων, τοῦ ποιοῦντος τοὺς Ἀγγέλους αὐτοῦ πνεύματα, καὶ τοὺς λειτουργοὺς αὐτοῦ πῦρ φλέγον. Ἔξελθε καὶ ἀναχώρησον ἀπὸ τοῦ πλάσματος τούτου σὺν πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει καὶ τοῖς ἀγγέλοις σου.

The Lord rebukes you, O devil, He that came into the world and made His dwelling among men, that He might cast down your tyranny, and deliver men; He that upon the Tree triumphed over the opposing powers, when the sun was darkened, and the earth was shaken, and the tombs were opened, and the bodies of the Saints arose; He that by death destroyed Death, and overcame him that held the might of death, that is, even you, O devil. I adjure you by the Living God, Who has shown forth the Tree of Life, and posted the Cherubim, and the flaming sword that turns about to guard this: be rebuked, and depart, for I forbid you, through Him that walks on the waves of the sea as upon the dry land, Who forbade the storm of the winds, Whose glance dries up the deep, and Whose threatenings melt the mountains; for it is He Himself that now forbids you through us. Be afraid, and depart, and absent yourself from this creature, and come not back, neither hide yourself in him (her), nor encounter him (her), nor influence him (her) either by night or by day, nor in the morning or at noon; but get you hence to your own Tartarus, until the appointed day of Judgment. Fear God, Who sits on the throne of the Cherubim, and looks upon the depths, before Whom tremble Angels, Archangels, Thrones, Principalities, Authorities, Powers, the many-eyed Cherubim, and the six-winged Seraphim; Whom Heaven and earth fear, the sea, and all that live therein. Come forth, and depart from the sealed and newly-enlisted soldier of Christ our God; for I adjure you by Him that rides upon the wings of the winds, Who makes His Angels spirits and His Ministers a flame of fire. Come forth, and from this creature which He fashioned depart with all your power and might; for glorified is the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages.

Bwana anakukataza ewe shetani, kwa kuwa alikuja duniani na kukaa pamoja na wanadamuili kumaliza ufalme wako na kumfanya mwanadamu huru;kwa kuwekwa msalabani, alishinda nguvu zote ovu ,jua Iilipokuwa giza na dunia kutikiswa makaburi yalipofunguka na miili ya watakatifu ilipaa; Aliangamiza kifo kwa kifo na alikushinda, ewe shetani uliyekuwa na nguvu za kifo, ninakushurutisha kwa jina la Mungu aliyedhihirisha mti wa uzima na kuweka waheruvi na panga zenye moto inayokata pande zote kuuliinda.Ushindwe na uondoke; kwa kuwa ninakuamuru kwa jina la Yule aliyetembea juu ya maji kama kwamba ilikuwa nchi kavu,na kuleta utulivu; ambaye anakausha kisima na ambayetisho lake linayeyusha milima. Ndiye yule Bwana ambaye sasa anakuamuru kupitia kwetu: ogopa, toka na umwondokee huyu mwanadamu. (hawa wanadamu), na usiwahi kurudi, kujificha ndani yake (yao) wala kukutana au kujionyesha kwake.

Ὁρκίζω σε οὖν, παμπόνηρον καὶ ἀκάθαρτον καὶ μιαρὸν καὶ ἐβδελυγμένον καὶ ἀλλότριον πνεῦμα, κατὰ τῆς δυνάμεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, τοῦ πᾶσαν ἐξουσίαν ἔχοντος ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς, τοῦ εἰπόντος τῷ κωφῷ καὶ ἀλάλῳ δαίμονι· Ἔξελθε ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου καὶ μηκέτι εἰσέλθῃς εἰς αὐτόν.

Φοβήθητι τὸν Θεόν, οὗ τῷ προστάγματι ἡ γῆ καθʼ ὑδάτων ἐστήρικται· τὸν κτίσαντα τὸν οὐρανόν, καὶ στήσαντα τὰ ὅρη σταθμῷ, καὶ τὰς νάπας ζυγῷ, καὶ θέντα ἄμμον θαλάσσῃ ὅριον, καὶ ἐν ὕδατι σφοδρῷ τρίβον ἀσφαλῆ· τὸν ἁπτόμενον τῶν ὀρέων καὶ καπνίζονται· τὸν ἀναβαλλόμενον φῶς ὡς ἱμάτιον· τὸν ἐκτείνοντα τὸν οὐρανὸν ὡσεὶ δέῤῥιν· τὸν στεγάζοντα ἐν ὕδασι τὰ ὑπερῷα αὐτοῦ· τὸν θεμελιοῦντα τὴν γῆν ἐπὶ τὴν ἀσφάλειαν αὐτῆς· οὐ κλιθήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος· τὸν προσκαλούμενον τὸ ὕδωρ τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ἐκχέοντα αὐτὸ ἐπὶ πρόσωπον πάσης τῆς γῆς.

God, the Holy, the Terrible, and the Glorious, Who concerning all His works and strength is incomprehensible and unsearchable, Who Himself has ordained for you O devil, the retribution of eternal torment, through us, His unworthy servants, commands you, and all your cooperating might to go forth from him (her) that is newly sealed in the Name of our Lord God and Savior Christ. Therefore, you all evil, unclean, abominable, loathsome and alien spirit, I adjure you by the power of Jesus Christ, Who has all authority in Heaven and on earth, Who says to the deaf and dumb demon, “Get out of the man, and enter no more into him.” Depart, know the vainness of your might, which had not power even over the swine! Remember Him Who bade you, at your request, to enter into the herd of swine. Fear God, at Whose command the earth was established upon the waters; Who has founded the Heavens, and fixed the mountains with a line, and the valleys with a measure; Who has placed the sand for a boundary to the sea, and made safe paths through the waters; Who touched the mountains and they smoked; Who clothed Himself with Light as with a garment; Who has stretched out the Heavens as with a curtain; Who covers His upper rooms with waters; Who has founded the earth on her firm foundations, so that it shall not be moved forever; Who calls up the waters of the seas, and sprinkles it on the face of the earth. Come out! Depart from him (her) who is now being made ready for Holy Illumination; I adjure you by the saving Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, by His Precious Blood and All-Pure Body, and by His terrible Coming Again for He shall come and not tarry, to judge all the earth, and shall punish you and your cooperating might in the Gehenna of fire, consigning you to the outer darkness where the worm dies not and the fire is not quenched; for of Christ is the Might, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages.

Mungu mtakatifu, unayetisha, mtukufu, usiyeelezeka na usiyechunguzika kwa kazi na nguvu zako zote,aliyekutwalia ewe Shetani, adhabu ya milele kupitia kwetu sisi watumishi wasiostahili, tunakuamuru, na kwa nguvu zote zinazofanya kazi na wewe, kumwondokea ambaye amewekewa nembo mpya' kwa jina la la Bwaria Yesu Kristo, Mungu wetu wa kweIi.kwa hivyo, ninakuamuru wewe muovu,uliyeharamishwa, mkatili na roho mbaya imutoke mtu huyu na usiwahi kumuingia tena. ondoka, na ukubali kuwa nguvu zako ni bure; ambazo hata hazingeweza kukaa ndani ya nguruwe. Mkumbuke aliyekuamuru kwa hiari yako kuingia ndani ya kundi la nguruwe. Mwogope Mungu ambaye kwa amri yake dunia ilifanywa dhabiti juu ya maji, ambaye aliziumba mbingu, aliyeipima milima kwa uzani na mabonde kwa mizani. (lsaya.4O:12) Aliyeweka mchanga kama mpaka wa bahari, na njia salama ndani ya maji;ambaye anaifanya milima itoe moshi kwa mguso wake, ambaye anajivisha nuru kama vazi, ambaye anafunika makao yake na maji; ambaye aliweka misingi ya dunia imara ili isiwahi kutikiswa; anayeinua maji kutoka baharini na kuirudisha kama mvua, toka na umwondokee anayejitayarisha kupata nuru takatifu. Ninakuamuru kwa uokovu wa Bwana Yesu Kristo na Mwili wake mtakatifu na Damu na kurudi kwake kuzuri; kwa kuwa atarudi bila kukawia kuhukumu dunia yote, na atakuweka na nguvu zote zinazofanya kazi nawe katika moto wa Jehanamu kwa kukukutoa kwa giza la nje ambako wadudu wanashambulia kila mara na moto hauzimiki kamwe. kwa kuwa nguvu ni za Kristo Mungu wetu, pamoja na Baba na Roho mtakatifu sasa na siku zote hata milele na milele.

Τὸν διʼ ἡμᾶς τοὺς ἀνθρώπους καὶ διὰ τὴν ἡμετέραν σωτηρίαν κατελθόντα ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν καὶ σαρκωθέντα ἐκ Πνεύματος ἁγίου καὶ Μαρίας τῆς Παρθένου καὶ ἐνανθρωπήσαντα. Σταυρωθέντα τε ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἐπὶ Ποντίου Πιλάτου, καὶ παθόντα καὶ ταφέντα. Καὶ ἀναστάντα τῇ τρίτῃ ἡμέρᾳ, κατὰ τὰς Γραφάς. Καὶ ἀνελθόντα εἰς τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ καθεζόμενον ἐκ δεξιῶν τοῦ Πατρός. Καὶ πάλιν ἐρχόμενον μετὰ δόξης κρῖναι ζῶντας καὶ νεκρούς, οὗ τῆς βασιλείας οὐκ ἔσται τέλος. Καὶ εἰς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον, τὸ Κύριον, τὸ ζωοποιόν, τὸ ἐκ τοῦ Πατρὸς ἐκπορευόμενον, τὸ σὺν Πατρὶ καὶ Υἱῷ συμπροσκυνούμενον καὶ συνδοξαζόμενον, τὸ λαλῆσαν διὰ τῶν προφητῶν. Εἰς μίαν, ἁγίαν, καθολικὴν καὶ ἀποστολικὴν Ἐκκλησίαν. Ὁμολογῶ ἓν βάπτισμα εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν. Προσδοκῶ ἀνάστασιν νεκρῶν. Καὶ ζωὴν τοῦ μέλλοντος αἰῶνος. [GOA] Ἀμήν.

I believe in one God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all ages; Light of Light, true God of true God, begotten, not created, of one essence with the Father, through Whom all things were made. Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven and was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried; And He rose on the third day, according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father; And He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom shall have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of life, Who proceeds from the Father, Who together with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, Who spoke through the prophets. In one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. [GOA] Amen.

Nasadiki Mungu mmoja, Baba, Mwenyezi, mwumba wa Mbingu, na Nchi, hata vyote vilivyo onekana na visivyo onekana. Tena Bwana mmoja, Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa pekee wa Mungu, aliyezaliwa na Baba kabla ya wakati wowote. Nuru toka Nuru, Mungu kweli toka Mungu kweli, aliyezaliwa, hakuumbwa, aliye wa asili moja na Baba, kwa yeye vyote vilifanya. Aliyeshuka mbinguni kwa ajili yetu wanadamu na ya wokovu wetu, akapata mwili kwa Maria bikira na kwa Roho Mtakatifu, hata kuwa mtu. Aliye sulubiwa kwa ajili yetu wakati wa enzi ya Pontio Pilato, akateswa, akawekwa kaburini. Aliyefufuka siku ya tatu, kama Maandiko yanenavyo. Akapaa mbinguni ndipo anapokaa kuume kwa Baba. Atakaye kuja mara ya pili kwa utukufu kuwahukumu wa hai na wafu; na ufalme wake utakuwa bila mwisho. Tena nasadiki Roho Mtakatifu, yu Bwana, yu mpaji wa uhai; anayetoka kwa Baba, anayesujudiwa na kutukuzwa pamoja na Baba na Mwana, aliyenena kwa midomo ya manabii. Tena nasadiki Ekklesia Moja, Takatifu, Katholiki na la Mitume. Naungama ubatizo moja kwa maondoleo ya dhambi. Natumaini ufufuo wa wafu, hata uzima wa ulimwengu utakaokuja. [[SWA]] Amina.

O compassionate and merciful God, Who tries the heart and reigns, and Who alone knows the secrets of men, for no deed is secret in Your sight, but all things are exposed and naked in Your eyesight: do You Yourself, Who perceives that which concerns me, neither turn away Your face from me, but overlook my offenses in this hour, O You that overlook the sins of men that they repent. Wash away the defilement of my body and the stain of my soul. Sanctify me wholly by Your all-effectual, invisible might, and by Your spiritual right hand, lest, by preaching liberty to others, and offering this in the perfect faith of Your unspeakable love for humankind, I may be condemned as a servant of sin. Nay, Sovereign Master that alone are good and loving, let me not be turned away humbled and shamed, but send forth to me power from on high, and strengthen me for the ministration of this Your present, great, and most heavenly Mystery. Form the Image of Your Christ in him (her) who is about to be born again through my humility. Build him (her) on the foundation of Your Apostles and Prophets. Cast him (her) not down, but plant him (her) as a plant of truth in Your Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Pluck him (her) not out, that, by his (her) advancing in piety, by the same may be glorified Your Most Holy Name, of Father, and of Son, and of Holy Spirit, both now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Σὺ ἐκ τεσσάρων στοιχείων τὴν κτίσιν συναρμόσας, τέτταρσι καιροῖς τὸν κύκλον τοῦ ἐνιαυτοὺ ἐστεφάνωσας. Σὲ τρέμουσιν αἱ νοεραὶ πᾶσαι Δυνάμεις· σὲ ὑμνεῖ ἥλιος· σὲ δοξάζει σελήνη· σοὶ ἐντυγχάνει τὰ ἄστρα· σοὶ ὑπακούει τὸ φῶς· σὲ φρίττουσιν ἄβυσσοι· σοὶ δουλεύουσιν αἱ πηγαί.

For by Your Will have You out of nothingness brought all things into being and by Your power sustain all creation and by Your Providence direct the world. You from the four elements have formed creation and have crowned the cycle of the year with the four seasons; all the spiritual powers tremble before You; the sun praises You; the: moon glorifies You; the stars in their courses meet with You; the Light hearkens unto You; the depths shudder at Your presence; the springs of water serve You; You have stretched out the Heavens as a curtain; You have founded the earth upon the waters; You have bounded the sea with sand; You have poured forth the air for breathing; the angelic Powers minister unto You; the Choirs of Archangels worship before You; the many-eyed Cherubim and the six-winged Seraphim, as they stand and fly around You, veil themselves with fear of Your unapproachable Glory; for You, being boundless and beginningless and unutterable, did come down on earth, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; for You O Master, through the tenderness of Your Mercy, could not endure the race of men tormented by the devil, but You did come and saved us. We confess Your Grace; we proclaim Your beneficence; we do not hide Your Mercy; You have set at liberty the generations of our nature; You did hallow the virginal Womb by Your Birth; all creation praises You, Who did manifest Yourself, for You were seen upon the earth, and did sojourn with men. You hallowed the streams of Jordan, sending down from the Heavens Your Holy Spirit, and crushed the heads of dragons that lurked therein.

For You have said, O Lord: “Wash, and be clean; put away evil from your souls.” You have bestowed upon us regeneration from on high by water and the spirit. Manifest Yourself, O Lord, in this water, and grant that he (she) that is to be baptized may be transformed therein to the putting away of the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and to the putting on of the new, which is renewed according to the Image of Him that created him (her).

Moses prefigured the Cross. * Lifting up the rod, he stretched out his hand and split the Sea for Israel to cross on land. * Then he stretched it out again, * and the sea returned and covered Pharaoh’s chariots. * The Cross was thus portrayed as our invincible armor. * So let us sing to the Lord, * Christ our God, for He is greatly glorified.

Tree of the Cross, you are thrice-blessed, * for Jesus Christ, who is King and Lord, was crucified on you. * Through you fallen is the one who by a tree deceived us, * for he was lured by God who in the flesh indeed * was hung and nailed to you, * and who grants to our souls His peace. [GOASD]

In the belly of the sea beast * the prophet Jonah prayed with his arms extended crosswise; * thus he clearly prefigured the saving Passion of Christ. * When after three days he emerged, * he was depicting the supernal resurrection from the dead * of Christ God, who was physically nailed to the Cross * and by His third-day arising illumined the universe.

The impious tyrant’s preposterous decree disturbed the populace, * breathing threats and blasphemous pronouncements hateful to God. * His brutal anger did not intimidate * the three Servants, nor did the consuming fire. * But when the dew-laden breeze whistled against the fire, they joined it and together sang, * “Blessed are You, O Lord.

Ἀδελφοί, ὅσοι ἐβαπτίσθημεν εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν, εἰς τὸν θάνατον αὐτοῦ ἐβαπτίσθημεν; συνετάφημεν οὖν αὐτῷ διὰ τοῦ βαπτίσματος εἰς τὸν θάνατον, ἵνα ὥσπερ ἠγέρθη Χριστὸς ἐκ νεκρῶν διὰ τῆς δόξης τοῦ πατρός, οὕτω καὶ ἡμεῖς ἐν καινότητι ζωῆς περιπατήσωμεν. εἰ γὰρ σύμφυτοι γεγόναμεν τῷ ὁμοιώματι τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῆς ἀναστάσεως ἐσόμεθα, τοῦτο γινώσκοντες, ὅτι ὁ παλαιὸς ἡμῶν ἄνθρωπος συνεσταυρώθη ἵνα καταργηθῇ τὸ σῶμα τῆς ἁμαρτίας, τοῦ μηκέτι δουλεύειν ἡμᾶς τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ· ὁ γὰρ ἀποθανὼν δεδικαίωται ἀπὸ τῆς ἁμαρτίας. εἰ δὲ ἀπεθάνομεν σὺν Χριστῷ, πιστεύομεν ὅτι καὶ συζήσομεν αὐτῷ, εἰδότες ὅτι Χριστὸς ἐγερθεὶς ἐκ νεκρῶν οὐκέτι ἀποθνήσκει, θάνατος αὐτοῦ οὐκέτι κυριεύει. ὃ γὰρ ἀπέθανε, τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ ἀπέθανεν ἐφάπαξ, ὃ δὲ ζῇ, ζῇ τῷ Θεῷ. οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς λογίζεσθε ἑαυτοὺς νεκροὺς μὲν εἶναι τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ, ζῶντας δὲ τῷ Θεῷ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.

Brethren, all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death. We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like His, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like His. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the sinful body might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For he who has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. For we know that Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. The death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord. [RSV]

At that time, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age. Amen.” [RSV]
