2. Христос пришел для того, чтобы открыть, что вечное не есть будущее, но только невидимое, — что вечность не есть тот океан, в который люди сносятся рекой времени, но что она вокруг них теперь и что их жизни только в той мере действительны, в какой они чувствуют ее присутствие. Он пришел, чтобы научить их, что бог не есть случайная какая-то отвлеченность, бесконечно отделенная от них в далеком небе, но что он — отец, в котором они живут, движутся и существуют, и что служение, которое он любит, не состоит в торжественном исполнении обрядов церкви, но в милосердии, справедливости, смирении и любви.
2. Christ came to reveal that the eternal is not the future, but only the unseen — that eternity is not that ocean into which people are swept by the river of time, but that it is around them now, and that their lives are real only in the measure in which they feel its presence. He came to teach them that God is not some chance abstraction, infinitely removed from them in a distant heaven, but that he is a Father, in whom they live, and move, and have their being, and that the service he loves consists not in the solemn performance of the rites of the church, but in mercy, justice, humility, and love.

Source text: archive.orgFarrar’s own wordsHe came to reveal that the Eternal was not the Future, but only the Unseen; that Eternity was no ocean whither men were being swept by the river of Time, but was around them now, and that their lives were only real in so far as they felt its reality and its presence.
He came to teach that God was no dim abstraction, infinitely separated from them in the faroff blue, but that He was the Father in whom they lived, and moved, and had their being ; and that the service which He loved was not ritual and sacrifice, not pompous scrupulosity and censorious orthodoxy, but mercy and justice, humility and love.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. The Life of Christ (1874), ch. XII, The Scene of the Ministry, On Christ's first stay in Capernaum; New York: E. P. Dutton, [1883], p. 83.
Close in its first half, changed at the end. Tolstoy read the passage in Southgate's Suggestive Thoughts (What Tolstoy read), whose text differs in two places from the saved printing of the book (New York, [1883]), and Tolstoy has Southgate's readings: 'only real in so far as they felt its presence' (the book: 'its reality and its presence'), Tolstoy's 'feel its presence' (чувствуют ее присутствие), and 'infinitely separated from them in the far-off heaven' (the book: 'in the far-off blue'), Tolstoy's 'in the far-off heaven' (в далеком небе). Changes: Southgate's first sentence, 'Christ came not to revolutionise, but to ennoble and to sanctify', is left out, so Tolstoy's opens 'Christ came to reveal'; 'God was no dim abstraction' becomes 'God is not some accidental abstraction' (случайная какая-то отвлеченность, dim becoming accidental); and 'the service which He loved was not ritual and sacrifice, not pompous scrupulosity and censorious orthodoxy, but mercy and justice, humility and love' becomes 'the service which he loves consists not in the solemn performance of the rites of the church, but in mercy, justice, humility and love': ritual, sacrifice, pompous scrupulosity, and censorious orthodoxy become one phrase about the church's rites. Tolstoy reprinted the thought in «На каждый день» (1 May; Tolstoy's other version). No printable.
Translation note. “In whom they live, and move, and have their being” echoes Paul at Athens (Acts 17:28).
