Good morning my dears!
Once I came across the 10 most terrible quotes from the Bible on the Internet, among which are readers of the humorous Christian site shipoffouls.com:
1. Let the woman study in silence, with all humility;
but I do not allow a woman to teach, nor to rule over her husband, but to be in silence. (First Timothy 2:11-12)
2. Now go and smite Amalek [and Jerim] and destroy everything that is from him [do not take anything from them, but destroy and curse everything that he has]; and give him no mercy, but put to death from husband to wife, from child to suckling, from ox to sheep, from camel to donkey. (1 Samuel 15:3)
3. Do not let fortune tellers live. (Exodus 22:18)
4. Daughter of Babylon, despoiler! blessed is he who will repay you for what you have done to us!
Blessed is he who will take and break your babies against a stone! (Psalm 136, 8-9)
5. Behold, I have a maiden daughter, and he has a concubine; I will bring them out, humble them, and do with them what you please; and with this man, don't do this madness.
But they didn't want to listen to him. Then the husband took his concubine and brought him out into the street. They recognized her and cursed her all night long until morning. And they let her go at dawn.
And the woman came before the dawn, and fell at the door of the house of the man who had her master, [and lay] until the light.
Her master got up in the morning, opened the door of the house, and went out to go on his way: and behold, his concubine was lying at the door of the house, and her hands were on the threshold.
He told her: get up, let's go. But there was no answer [because she died]. He put her on the donkey, got up and went to his place. (Book of Judges of Israel, 19:24-28)
6. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the female sex, were inflamed with lust for one another, men doing shame on men, and receiving in themselves the due retribution for their error. (Romans 1:27)
7 And Jephthah made a vow to the Lord, and said, If You deliver the Ammonites into my hand,
then when I return in peace from the Ammonites, whatever comes out of the gate of my house to meet me will be to the Lord, and I will offer it as a burnt offering.
And Jephthah came to the Ammonites to fight with them, and the Lord delivered them into his hand;
And he struck them with a very great defeat, from Aroer to Minith twenty cities, and to Abel Keramim, and the Ammonites humbled themselves before the children of Israel.
And Jephthah came to Mizpah to his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and faces: he had only one, and he had not yet had a son or a daughter.
When he saw her, he tore his clothes and said: oh, my daughter! you struck me; and you are among the disturbers of my peace! I have opened my mouth before the Lord, and I cannot deny it. (Book of Judges of Israel, 11:30-35).
8. [God] said, Take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac; and go to the land of Moriah and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I will tell you about. (Genesis 22:2)
9. Wives, obey your husbands as to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:22)
10. Servants, obey your masters with all fear, not only the good and meek, but also the stern ones. (First Epistle of Peter, 2:18)

In my humble opinion, there are equally interesting quotes in the Bible:
And to those he said in my ear: follow him through the city and strike; let not your eye pity, and do not spare;
Beat the old man, the young man, and the maiden, and the child, and the wives to death (Ezekiel 9:5-6)
And David said in that day: Whoever kills the Jebusites, let him strike with a spear both the lame and the blind, who hate the soul of David. Therefore, it is said: the blind and the lame will not enter the house [of the Lord]. (2 Kings, 5:8)
At midnight, the Lord struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in prison, and all the firstborn of cattle. (Exodus 12:29)
only do not rebel against the Lord and do not fear the people of this land; for he will get us to eat: they have no protection, but the Lord is with us; don't be afraid of them. (Numbers, 14:9)
therefore slay all the male children, and slay all the women who know a man in a man's bed;
and all the female children who have not known the male bed, keep alive for yourself; (Numbers, 31:17-18)
Therefore, Israel, listen to the ordinances and laws that I teach you to keep, so that you may live and go and inherit the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you. (Deuteronomy 4:1)
for the Lord your God will bless you, as he told you, and you will lend to many nations, but you yourself will not borrow; and you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you. (Deut. 15:6)
Do not lend to your brother at interest [under interest] neither silver, nor bread, nor anything else that [can] be given at interest;
lend to a foreigner ("goy" - a non-Jew) at interest, but do not lend to your brother at interest, so that the Lord your God will bless you in everything that is done by your hands, on the land into which you are going to take possession of it. (Deut. 23:19-20)
Then the sons of foreigners will build your walls, and their kings will serve you; for in my anger I struck you, but in my favor I will be merciful to you.
And your gates will always be open, they will not be closed day or night, so that the wealth of the peoples may be brought to you and their kings be brought.
For the people and kingdoms that do not want to serve you will perish, and such peoples will be completely destroyed. (Book of Isaiah, 60:10-12)
Then Jesus said to him: Return your sword to its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword; (Matthew 26:52)
for [the boss] is God's servant, it's good for you. But if you do evil, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain: he is God's servant, the avenger in punishment for the one who does evil. (Romans 13:4)
And he said to them, Thus says the Lord God of Israel: Lay each one of his sword on his thigh, go through the camp from gate to gate and back again, and every man slay his brother, every man his friend, every man his neighbour.
And the sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses: and that day about three thousand men fell from the people. (Exodus 32:27-28)
Whoever sacrifices to gods, except the Lord alone, let him be destroyed. (Exodus 22:20)
And he went from there to Bethel. When he was walking along the road, little children came out of the city and mocked him and said to him: Go, bald! go, baldhead!
We are crazy for Christ's sake (1 Corinthians 4:10)
And the blasphemer of the name of the Lord must die, the whole community will stone him with stones (Leviticus 24:16)
He looked around and saw them and cursed them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the forest and tore forty-two children out of them. (2 Kings 2:23-24)

And if I give away all my possessions and give my body to be burned, but I do not have love, it does not profit me at all. Love is long-suffering, merciful, love does not envy, love does not exalt itself, is not proud, does not act outrageously, does not seek its own, is not irritated, does not think evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; covers everything, believes everything, hopes everything, endures everything. Love never ceases, although prophecy will cease, and tongues will be silent, and knowledge will be abolished. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; when the perfect comes, then that which is in part will cease.

(1 Corinthians 13:1-10)

(Testament. 2. 3)

The article presents the most common biblical sayings and phraseological units in the Russian language.
Fluency in these sayings is a sign of the general culture and education of a person.

Over the past two decades, due to well-known political changes, atheism has declined in countries former Union, interest in religion increased, which immediately affected the increase in the use of expressions from biblical texts. Sayings, phraseological units and examples from the Bible can be found everywhere. Bibleisms began to be widely used not only in ordinary, lively speech, but also "at the highest level."

Of course, it is necessary to understand this issue at least a little so as not to be like the Pindos, who for the most part believe that the authors of biblical sayings and phraseological units are their presidents, politicians, TV presenters and movie heroes. 🙂 These are the results of familiarization with the culture through a zombie.

Not only that, Biblicalisms have penetrated into humor, wit, and simply into a “pungent word”! And in their archaic sound they betray speech, as it were, freshness, novelty and originality. The pendulum swung the other way. After all, there were once times that they tried to expel words and expressions related to religion and the church from the Russian language. Just one example is enough when saying “a newborn was christened” was considered non-politically correct. It was necessary to say "the newborn was made a star". 😆

It must be said that in the "Christian languages" the number of proverbs, sayings and other phraseological units of biblical origin is enormous; most of them have completely lost touch with their primary sources, and only experts on the issue know where their roots grow from. It even happens that authorship is attributed to people who have nothing to do with religion. The “sands of time” erased the archaism of most biblical expressions, and they have long since become proverbs.

Scientists "aphorists-biblical scholars" count several hundred proverbs of biblical origin in the Russian language. And these are only those that more or less accurately reproduce the biblical text. And if you “announce the entire list” of phraseological units connected in one way or another with biblical sources, then the number will go to thousands. According to experts on the issue, among the most common Russian proverbs, proverbs of biblical origin make up 15-20%.

There are basically two options for the use of biblical words: close to the original source, with a claim to a quote; and completely transformed, having lost its archaic appearance, sounding modern. For example, the saying
“The one who treats the wise will be wise, and the one who makes friends with fools will be corrupted” (Solomon, 13:21) a long time ago the well-known “classic look” was transformed:
"Whoever you hang out with, that's what you'll get."
"The end of a thing is better than its beginning." (Ecclesiastes, 7:8) - "The end is the crown of business."
This process is called "folklorization".

In everyday speech, however, there are also untransformed sayings, which formally are direct quotations from the Bible. This happens in cases where sayings sound modern and understandable. For example:

An eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth. (Mat. 5:38)
Judge not lest ye be judged. (Mat. 7:1)
There is a time to scatter stones and there is a time to collect stones. (Ecclesiastes 3:5)
Don't make yourself an idol. (Exodus 20:4)

Connoisseurs of the issue conducted research on the degree of popularity and usage in the Russian language of expressions of biblical origin.
As a result, 350 expressions taken for experiments were divided into 3 groups. The 1st group included sayings that turned out to be known to 75-100% of the respondents, native speakers of the Russian language. The popularity of sayings of the 2nd group is not less than 50%. The remaining sayings (there were 277 of them out of 350) are assigned to the 3rd group.
