Psalm 2:7–12 — today I have begotten you; take hold of training
“I have begotten you today” (Psalm 2:7). “Today” is always being called.
“Ask of me, and I will give you nations, your inheritance” (Psalm 2:8). The devil showed the Savior their kingdoms and the glory in a moment of time.
“Take hold of training” (Psalm 2:12). Training is a measured-suffering of the passions, which is naturally apt to come about from the practical life; and the practical life is a spiritual teaching, cleansing the passionate part of the soul.
Greek
2.7 ̓Εγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε. ̓Αεὶ τὸ σήμερον καλεῖται. 2.8 Αι τησαι παρ' ἐμοῦ, καὶ δώσω σοι ε θνη, τὴν κληρονομίαν σου. Τούτων τὰς βασιλείας ε δειξεν ὁ διάβολος τῷ Σωτῆρι καὶ τὴν δόξαν ἐν στιγμῇ χρόνου. 2.12 ∆ράξασθε παιδείας. Παιδεία ἐστὶ μετριοπαθεία παθῶν· ο περ συμβαίνειν πέφυκεν ἐκ τῆς πρακτικῆς· η γε πρακτική ἐστι διδασκαλία πνευματικὴ, τὸ παθητικὸν μέρος τῆς ψυχῆς ἐκκαθαίρουσα.
