1847, Вук Стефановић Караџић, “Luke 1: 5-12”, in Serbian Translation of the Bible:А бијаху обоје праведни и пред Богом, и живљаху у свему по заповијестима и уредбама Господњијем без мане.- And they were both righteous before God, and lived in all ways according to all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
1879, Л. Лазаревић, Први пут с оцем на јутрење:Моја мати клону крај ковчега и онесвести се. Сестра врисну. Ја скоичих из постеље. И Ђокица скочи. Седосмо доле на патос крај ње, љубисмо јој руку. Она метну руку на моју главу и шапуташе нешто. Онда скочи, упали свитац, па прижеже кандило пред светим Ђорђем. – Одите, децо, молите се Богу да нас избави од напасти – рече она. Глас јој звони као звоно, а очи светле као вечерњача на небу.- Mother collapsed by the chest and fell into a swoon. Sister screamed. I jumped out of bed, and Đokica did too. We sat down on the floor by her, and kissed her hand. She put her hand on my head and whispered something. Then she leapt up, kindled a brand and lit the lamp before the icon of St. George. “Come, children, and pray to God to deliver us from temptation,” she said. Her voice rang out like a bell, and her eyes shone like the evening star in the heavens.
