Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 Ѡ҆ дꙋхо́вныхъ же, бра́тїе, не хощꙋ̀ ва́съ не вѣ́дѣти.
1 Now concerning spiritual things, brothers, I don’t want you to be ignorant.
2 Вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆гда̀ невѣ́рни бѣ́сте, ко і҆́дѡлѡмъ безгла̑снымъ ꙗ҆́кѡ ведо́ми ведо́стесѧ.
2 You know that when you were heathen, you were led away to those mute idols, however you might be led.
3 Тѣ́мже сказꙋ́ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ никто́же, дх҃омъ бж҃їимъ глаго́лѧй, рече́тъ а҆на́ѳема і҆и҃са, и҆ никто́же мо́жетъ рещѝ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са, то́чїю дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ.
3 Therefore I make known to you that no man speaking by God’s Spirit says, “Jesus is accursed.” No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” but by the Holy Spirit.
4 Раздѣлє́нїѧ же дарова́нїй сꙋ́ть, а҆ то́йжде дх҃ъ:
4 Now there are various kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 и҆ раздѣлє́нїѧ слꙋже́нїй сꙋ́ть, а҆ то́йжде гдⷭ҇ь:
5 There are various kinds of service, and the same Lord.
6 и҆ раздѣлє́нїѧ дѣ́йствъ сꙋ́ть, а҆ то́йжде є҆́сть бг҃ъ, дѣ́йствꙋѧй всѧ̑ во всѣ́хъ.
6 There are various kinds of workings, but the same God who works all things in all.
7 Комꙋ́ждо же дае́тсѧ ꙗ҆вле́нїе дх҃а на по́льзꙋ:
7 But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the profit of all.
8 ѻ҆́вомꙋ бо дх҃омъ дае́тсѧ сло́во премⷣрости, и҆но́мꙋ же сло́во ра́зꙋма, ѡ҆ то́мже дс҃ѣ:
8 For to one is given through the Spirit the word of wisdom, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit,
9 дрꙋго́мꙋ же вѣ́ра, тѣ́мже дх҃омъ: и҆но́мꙋ же дарова̑нїѧ и҆сцѣле́нїй, ѡ҆ то́мже дс҃ѣ:
9 to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,
10 дрꙋго́мꙋ же дѣ̑йствїѧ си́лъ, и҆но́мꙋ же прⷪ҇ро́чество, дрꙋго́мꙋ же разсꙋждє́нїѧ дꙋховѡ́мъ, и҆но́мꙋ же ро́ди ѧ҆зы́кѡвъ, дрꙋго́мꙋ же сказа̑нїѧ ѧ҆зы́кѡвъ.
10 and to another workings of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of languages, and to another the interpretation of languages.
11 Всѧ̑ же сїѧ̑ дѣ́йствꙋетъ є҆ди́нъ и҆ то́йжде дх҃ъ, раздѣлѧ́ѧ вла́стїю коемꙋ́ждо ꙗ҆́коже хо́щетъ.
11 But the one and the same Spirit produces all of these, distributing to each one separately as he desires.
12 Ꙗ҆́коже бо тѣ́ло є҆ди́но є҆́сть и҆ ᲂу҆́ды и҆́мать мнѡ́ги, вси́ же ᲂу҆́ди є҆ди́нагѡ тѣ́ла, мно́зи сꙋ́ще, є҆ди́но сꙋ́ть тѣ́ло: та́кѡ и҆ хрⷭ҇то́съ.
12 For as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so also is Christ.
13 И҆́бо є҆ди́нѣмъ дх҃омъ мы̀ всѝ во є҆ди́но тѣ́ло крести́хомсѧ, а҆́ще і҆ꙋде́є, а҆́ще є҆́ллини, и҆лѝ рабѝ, и҆лѝ свобо́дни: и҆ всѝ є҆ди́нѣмъ дх҃омъ напои́хомсѧ.
13 For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all given to drink into one Spirit.
14 И҆́бо тѣ́ло нѣ́сть є҆ди́нъ ᲂу҆́дъ, но мно́зи.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 А҆́ще рече́тъ нога̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́смь рꙋка̀, нѣ́смь ѿ тѣ́ла: є҆да̀ сегѡ̀ ра́ди нѣ́сть ѿ тѣ́ла;
15 If the foot would say, “Because I’m not the hand, I’m not part of the body,” it is not therefore not part of the body.
16 И҆ а҆́ще рече́тъ ᲂу҆́хо, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́смь ѻ҆́ко, нѣ́смь ѿ тѣ́ла: є҆да̀ сегѡ̀ ра́ди нѣ́сть ѿ тѣ́ла;
16 If the ear would say, “Because I’m not the eye, I’m not part of the body,” it’s not therefore not part of the body.
17 А҆́ще всѐ тѣ́ло ѻ҆́ко, гдѣ̀ слꙋ́хъ; а҆́ще (же) всѐ слꙋ́хъ, гдѣ̀ ᲂу҆ха́нїе;
17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the smelling be?
18 Нн҃ѣ же положѝ бг҃ъ ᲂу҆́ды, є҆ди́наго коего́ждо и҆́хъ въ тѣлесѝ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆зво́ли.
18 But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body, just as he desired.
19 А҆́ще ли бы́ша всѝ є҆ди́нъ ᲂу҆́дъ, гдѣ̀ тѣ́ло;
19 If they were all one member, where would the body be?
20 Нн҃ѣ же мно́зи ᲂу҆́бѡ ᲂу҆́дове, є҆ди́но же тѣ́ло.
20 But now they are many members, but one body.
21 Не мо́жетъ же ѻ҆́ко рещѝ рꙋцѣ̀: не тре́бѣ мѝ є҆сѝ: и҆лѝ па́ки глава̀ нога́ма: не тре́бѣ мѝ є҆стѐ.
21 The eye can’t tell the hand, “I have no need for you,” or again the head to the feet, “I have no need for you.”
22 Но мно́гѡ па́че, мнѧ́щїисѧ ᲂу҆́ди тѣ́ла немощнѣ́йши бы́ти, нꙋ́жнѣйши сꙋ́ть,
22 No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.
23 и҆ и҆̀хже мни́мъ безче́стнѣйшихъ бы́ти тѣ́ла, си̑мъ че́сть мно́жайшꙋю прилага́емъ:
23 Those parts of the body which we think to be less honorable, on those we bestow more abundant honor; and our unpresentable parts have more abundant modesty,
24 и҆ неблагоѡбра́знїи на́ши благоѡбра́зїе мно́жайше и҆́мꙋтъ, а҆ благоѡбра́знїи на́ши не тре́бѣ и҆́мꙋтъ. Но бг҃ъ растворѝ тѣ́ло, хꙋдѣ́йшемꙋ бо́льшꙋ да́въ че́сть,
24 while our presentable parts have no such need. But God composed the body together, giving more abundant honor to the inferior part,
25 да не бꙋ́детъ ра́спри въ тѣлесѝ, но да то́жде въ себѣ̀ пекꙋ́тсѧ ᲂу҆́ди.
25 that there should be no division in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another.
26 И҆ а҆́ще стра́ждетъ є҆ди́нъ ᲂу҆́дъ, съ ни́мъ стра́ждꙋтъ всѝ ᲂу҆́ди: а҆́ще ли же сла́витсѧ є҆ди́нъ ᲂу҆́дъ, съ ни́мъ ра́дꙋютсѧ всѝ ᲂу҆́ди.
26 When one member suffers, all the members suffer with it. When one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.
27 Вы́ же є҆стѐ тѣ́ло хрⷭ҇то́во, и҆ ᲂу҆́ди ѿ ча́сти.
27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually.
28 И҆ ѻ҆́выхъ ᲂу҆́бѡ положѝ бг҃ъ въ цр҃кви пе́рвѣе а҆пⷭлѡвъ, второ́е прⷪ҇ро́кѡвъ, тре́тїе ᲂу҆чи́телей: пото́мъ же си̑лы, та́же дарова̑нїѧ и҆сцѣле́нїй, застꙋплє́нїѧ, правлє́нїѧ, ро́ди ѧ҆зы́кѡвъ.
28 God has set some in the assembly: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracle workers, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, and various kinds of languages.
29 Є҆да̀ всѝ а҆пⷭли; є҆да̀ всѝ прⷪ҇ро́цы; є҆да̀ всѝ ᲂу҆чи́телє; є҆да̀ всѝ си̑лы;
29 Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Are all miracle workers?
30 є҆да̀ всѝ дарова̑нїѧ и҆́мꙋтъ и҆сцѣле́нїй; є҆да̀ всѝ ѧ҆зы̑ки глаго́лютъ; є҆да̀ всѝ сказꙋ́ютъ;
30 Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with various languages? Do all interpret?
31 Ревнꙋ́йте же дарова́нїй бо́льшихъ, и҆ є҆щѐ по превосхожде́нїю пꙋ́ть ва́мъ показꙋ́ю.
31 But earnestly desire the best gifts. Moreover, I show a most excellent way to you.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
This whole place is very obscure: but the obscurity is produced by our ignorance of the facts referred to and by their cessation, being such as then used to occur but now no longer take place. And why do they not happen now?

Let us take our body for an example. The head is nothing without the feet, and the feet are nothing without the head; yea, the very smallest members of our body are necessary and useful to the whole body.
For although the Spirit of the Saviour that is in Him "searcheth all things, even the deep things of God," yet as to us "there are diversities of gifts, differences of administrations, and diversities of operations;" and we, while upon the earth, as Paul also declares, "know in part, and prophesy in part." Since, therefore, we know but in part, …
But I am not such a one, "for I am a sinful man." Yet do I also magnify Thy name; and He who hath "overcome the world" maketh intercession to Thee for my sins, accounting me among the "feeble members" of His body, because Thine eyes saw that of him which was imperfect; and in Thy book all shall be …

"But covet earnestly," saith he, "the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way." And when he was to declare this "way," he spoke not of raising the dead, not of cleansing of lepers, not of any other such thing; but in place of all these he set charity.
