Sefer ha-Ḥus ṿeha-Muḥash me-Ḳitsur ibn Rushd (Hebrew MS 28)

The following text is translated from Greek. It appears to be an instructional or homiletic passage regarding spiritual gifts, the Holy Spirit, and the necessity of love as taught by the Apostle Paul and Saint Ephrem the Syrian.

...concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit and for? the? salvation of men and for? the church? of? God and? all creation. Since our? Lord? Jesus Christ, our true? God, gave? to us the grace of the Holy Spirit and? the? power of His cross?. And for this reason, we? all?, as Christians, ought? to keep His commandments and to? have? love toward one another. And just as? the divine apostle Paul? says in his epistle to the Corinthians? concerning? love, that love is patient?, is kind; love does not envy; love does not boast, is not puffed up, does not behave rudely, does not seek its own.

And again, our holy? father? Ephrem? the Syrian says concerning? repentance? and confession? that? through? repentance man is saved? and is deemed worthy? of the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, let us approach, brothers?, with? the fear of God and faith and love, so? that? we may receive? the forgiveness of our sins from? the merciful? God. For He is? our life and our resurrection, and to? Him? belongs all glory, honor, and worship unto the ages of ages. Amen.
