Work, Chapter

  1 LawGod,2 |        this law, guides all of his life and activities.~
  2 LawGod,4 |      teaches us that man's earthly life is a time of moral struggle,
  3 LawGod,4 |            for the future, eternal life. Consequently, the tasks
  4 LawGod,4 |         the tasks of man's earthly life consist of correctly preparing
  5 LawGod,4 |       future eternity. The earthly life is brief and it does not
  6 LawGod,4 |         Therefore, in this earthly life, one must work at virtue
  7 LawGod,4 |             shapes his own earthly life, in the sense that he or
  8 LawGod,4 |        perfection of man's earthly life is indispensable for every
  9 LawGod,4 |           Christian point of view, life is a moral struggle, a path
 10 LawGod,4 |           the law of the spiritual life. A man who stops working
 11 LawGod,5 |          The task of man's earthly life is preparing himself for
 12 LawGod,5 |          to direct the path of his life according to the dictates
 13 LawGod,5 |        with the history and way of life of the Jewish nation. The
 14 LawGod,5 | Christianity. We are guided in our life not by this preparatory
 15 LawGod,6 |  surrounding milieu, conditions of life, the political situation,
 16 LawGod,6 |          his teaching in practical life. It is clear precisely why.
 17 LawGod,6 |          For, if one is to look at life from a strictly deterministic
 18 LawGod,6 |          set before thee this day, life and death, good and evil.
 19 LawGod,6 |             I have set before thee life and death, the blessing
 20 LawGod,6 |         and the curse: choose thou life ... to love the Lord thy
 21 LawGod,7 |            the course of his whole life, he cares for himself, for
 22 LawGod,7 |     concentration of the spiritual life; it strives toward God and
 23 LawGod,7 |         immortal, blessed, eternal life.~We define the task of the
 24 LawGod,7 |      define the task of the entire life of man as the necessity
 25 LawGod,7 |            the earthly, transitory life for preparation toward the
 26 LawGod,7 |      toward the eternal, spiritual life. In the present instance,
 27 LawGod,7 |            the task of the earthly life of man consists in that
 28 LawGod,7 |        able, in the course of this life, to build up, to work out
 29 LawGod,7 |         Christian understanding of life - he only harms himself,
 30 LawGod,7 |             he who, in the earthly life gives away and does good,
 31 LawGod,7 |      character. The entire earthly life of a Christian is a constant
 32 LawGod,8 |           enjoyment in the earthly life, are not at all blessed.
 33 LawGod,8 |         untruth of the surrounding life - to turn to God's truth,
 34 LawGod,8 |          part, here in the earthly life, in which these faithful
 35 LawGod,9 |          that God has given one in life, and then ceases to have
 36 LawGod,9 |          law. Is this not like the life of many contemporary intellectuals?
 37 LawGod,9 |            in "burning through his life," and departs, in heart
 38 LawGod,10|            of that truly Christian life which saves us, comes only
 39 LawGod,11|          surrounding world and its life, and also of all the conscious
 40 LawGod,11|        Christians fail to know the life of the Savior, His miracles
 41 LawGod,11|       sense and aim of his earthly life.~But this too must be remembered:
 42 LawGod,13|       Orthodox Christian families, life is arranged in such a way
 43 LawGod,13|         conditions, separated from life, grow up soft, spoiled and
 44 LawGod,13|          and not well adjusted for life, often thick-skinned egoists,
 45 LawGod,13|            to be useful to others. Life can break such people cruelly
 46 LawGod,13|   resurrection of the dead and the life of the age to come. Amen."~
 47 LawGod,13|    Christian hope will arrive when life finally triumphs over death
 48 LawGod,13|         those, who in this earthly life, were persecuted and oppressed
 49 LawGod,14|         work is impossible. In the life of each individual it is
 50 LawGod,14|         conditions and an order of life - and not depart from this.~
 51 LawGod,14|    obstacle for a Christian, moral life. On the other hand, good
 52 LawGod,14|       second half of man's earthly life is formed from habits acquired
 53 LawGod,14|          in the first half of this life.~Probably no one would argue
 54 LawGod,14|            needs a strong will. In life we meet people with various
 55 LawGod,14|      cannot carry out his plans in life, no matter how good and
 56 LawGod,14|          in character, succeeds in life.~A more important quality
 57 LawGod,14|          authentic. From practical life? Even less. This life itself
 58 LawGod,14|    practical life? Even less. This life itself is in need of positive
 59 LawGod,16|           result from a disordered life, but most to be feared is
 60 LawGod,16|          lead a pure and undefiled life...~How is one who wishes
 61 LawGod,16|           a pure, ordered Orthodox life, a disturbed and harmful
 62 LawGod,16|            to marriage and married life these cannot help but act
 63 LawGod,17|      follow the Savior because his life was bound to his wealth.
 64 LawGod,17|        seeking to lead an Orthodox life should not be negligent
 65 LawGod,17|          of the end of our earthly life. True Orthodox Christians
 66 LawGod,17|          for "Christian end of our life" is not always without illness,
 67 LawGod,18|     wide-spread in civil and state life. A loyal person strives
 68 LawGod,18|            or offense or evil into life. All people are your neighbors;
 69 LawGod,18|           It very often happens in life that we are too condescending
 70 LawGod,18|     general, the Christian rule of life teaches us that, in such
 71 LawGod,19|         form of deceit in business life. It is extremely dangerous
 72 LawGod,19|  encompasses the entirety of man's life, and many times the Lord
 73 LawGod,20|      though they pass through this life like sheep amongst wolves,
 74 LawGod,20|          of personal offenses).~In life, we repeatedly observe that
 75 LawGod,21|         widely spread in practical life are eudemonism and utilitarianism.~
 76 LawGod,21|        enjoyments from which one's life becomes pleasant. Eudemonists,
 77 LawGod,21|          people will, in practical life, always be egoists who willfully
 78 LawGod,21|           account of one's earthly life and behavior at the Judgment.
 79 LawGod,21|          is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find
 80 LawGod,21|            situations in practical life in which one can be restrained
 81 LawGod,21|          utilitarians can, in real life, be honorable and orderly.
 82 LawGod,23|          Christianity, however, is life; it is a new seal on all
 83 LawGod,23|           fact of its influence on life. It is sufficient to point
 84 LawGod,23|         point out that even though life and the behavior of people
 85 LawGod,23|        cell of the order of social life - the family.~The great
 86 LawGod,23|          is to choose a friend for life. God's word says of the
 87 LawGod,23|           one organism, one common life. An Orthodox Christian wife
 88 LawGod,23|        other externally. And their life passes in full accord, in
 89 LawGod,23|         better and more beautiful. Life, however, can be built only
 90 LawGod,23|     Christian marriage is a single life lived by two in unification.
 91 LawGod,23|            With the years, marital life only strengthens, becomes
 92 LawGod,23|        agreement, renounced sexual life, either from the very beginning
 93 LawGod,23|           fail, be a single family life. "Our" must always take
 94 LawGod,23|        must live a common, cordial life. The head of the family
 95 LawGod,24|       there are no bases of family life and upbringing. If, on the
 96 LawGod,24|  destruction of the forms of state life, the people remain capable
 97 LawGod,24|      remain capable of carrying on life and can re-establish the
 98 LawGod,24|           a "chicken coop." Such a life is family egoism. A person
 99 LawGod,24|        serve it in any way. Such a life is not a Christian life,
100 LawGod,24|            life is not a Christian life, and such a family is not
101 LawGod,24|      participates in the society's life and serves its neighbors.~
102 LawGod,24|        with whom he meets in daily life. Christian life is manifested
103 LawGod,24|           in daily life. Christian life is manifested most of all
104 LawGod,24|      removed from the realities of life.~As a child, a person's
105 LawGod,24|          me also from Your book of life." And the Lord harkened
106 LawGod,24|           the New Testament in the life of the great Apostle Paul.
107 LawGod,24|          We have an example in the life of the Savior Himself. In
108 LawGod,25|        when he participates in its life by, for example, expressing
109 LawGod,25|        love than to lay down one's life for ones brethren."~War
110 LawGod,25|           can be omitted from real life.~It is quite correct to
111 LawGod,25|         act of removing a person's life. This commandment forbids
112 LawGod,25|         the following event in the life of St. Athanasios of the
113 LawGod,25|           is ready to lay down his life for others, the closer he
114 LawGod,26|            faith in the victory of life over death and good over
