   • Elizabeth Bible, Luke 11.42:

     Но го́ре ва́мъ фарїсе́ѡмъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆десѧ́тствꙋете ѿ мѧ́твы и҆ пига́на и҆ всѧ́кагѡ ѕе́лїѧ, и҆ мимохо́дите сꙋ́дъ и҆ любо́вь бж҃їю: сїѧ̑ подоба́ше сотвори́ти, и҆ ѻ҆́нѣхъ не ѡ҆ставлѧ́ти.

     No góre vámŭ fariséomŭ, jáko odesę́tstvujete otŭ mę́tvy i pigána i vsę́kago dzéliję, i mimoxódite súdŭ i ljubóvĭ bž:iju: siję̂ podobáše sotvoríti, i óněxŭ ne ostavlę́ti.

     But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
