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.

PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Держи́тесѧ любвѐ: ревнꙋ́йте же дꙋхѡ́внымъ, па́че же да прⷪ҇ро́чествꙋете.
1 Διώκετε τὴν ἀγάπην· ζηλοῦτε δὲ τὰ πνευματικά, μᾶλλον δὲ ἵνα προφητεύητε.
2 Глаго́лѧй бо ѧ҆зы̑ки, не человѣ́кѡмъ глаго́летъ, но бг҃ꙋ: никто́же бо слы́шитъ, дꙋ́хомъ же глаго́летъ та̑йны:
2 ὁ γὰρ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ οὐκ ἀνθρώποις λαλεῖ, ἀλλὰ τῷ Θεῷ· οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἀκούει, πνεύματι δὲ λαλεῖ μυστήρια·
3 прⷪ҇ро́чествꙋѧй же, человѣ́кѡмъ глаго́летъ созида́нїе и҆ ᲂу҆тѣше́нїе и҆ ᲂу҆твержде́нїе.
3 ὁ δὲ προφητεύων ἀνθρώποις λαλεῖ οἰκοδομὴν καὶ παράκλησιν καὶ παραμυθίαν.
4 Глаго́лѧй (бо) ѧ҆зы̑ки себѐ зи́ждетъ, а҆ прⷪ҇ро́чествꙋѧй цр҃ковь зи́ждетъ.
4 ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ ἑαυτὸν οἰκοδομεῖ, ὁ δὲ προφητεύων ἐκκλησίαν οἰκοδομεῖ.
5 Хощꙋ́ же всѣ́хъ ва́съ глаго́лати ѧ҆зы̑ки, па́че же да прорица́ете: бо́лїй бо прⷪ҇ро́чествꙋѧй, не́жели глаго́лѧй ѧ҆зы̑ки, ра́звѣ а҆́ще (кто̀) сказꙋ́етъ, да цр҃ковь созида́нїе прїе́млетъ.
5 θέλω δὲ πάντας ὑμᾶς λαλεῖν γλώσσαις, μᾶλλον δὲ ἵνα προφητεύητε· μείζων γὰρ ὁ προφητεύων ἢ ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσαις, ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ διερμηνεύει, ἵνα ἡ ἐκκλησία οἰκοδομὴν λάβῃ.
6 Нн҃ѣ же, бра́тїе, а҆́ще прїидꙋ̀ къ ва́мъ ѧ҆зы̑ки глаго́лѧ, кꙋ́ю ва́мъ по́льзꙋ сотворю̀, а҆́ще ва́мъ не глаго́лю и҆лѝ во ѿкрове́нїи, и҆лѝ въ ра́зꙋмѣ, и҆лѝ въ прⷪ҇ро́чествїи, и҆лѝ въ наꙋче́нїи;
6 νυνὶ δέ, ἀδελφοί, ἐὰν ἔλθω πρὸς ὑμᾶς γλώσσαις λαλῶν, τί ὑμᾶς ὠφελήσω, ἐὰν μὴ ὑμῖν λαλήσω ἢ ἐν ἀποκαλύψει ἢ ἐν γνώσει ἢ ἐν προφητείᾳ ἢ ἐν διδαχῇ;
7 Ѻ҆ба́че бездꙋ̑шнаѧ гла́съ даю̑щаѧ, а҆́ще сопѣ́ль, а҆́ще гꙋ́сли, а҆́ще ра́знствїѧ писка́нїемъ не дадѧ́тъ, ка́кѡ разꙋ́мно бꙋ́детъ писка́нїе и҆лѝ гꙋде́нїе;
7 ὅμως τὰ ἄψυχα φωνὴν διδόντα, εἴτε αὐλὸς εἴτε κιθάρα, ἐὰν διαστολὴν τοῖς φθόγγοις μὴ διδῷ, πῶς γνωσθήσεται τὸ αὐλούμενον ἢ τὸ κιθαριζόμενον;
8 И҆́бо а҆́ще безвѣ́стенъ гла́съ трꙋба̀ да́стъ, кто̀ ᲂу҆гото́витсѧ на бра́нь;
8 καὶ γὰρ ἐὰν ἄδηλον φωνὴν σάλπιγξ δῷ, τίς παρασκευάσεται εἰς πόλεμον;
9 Та́кѡ и҆ вы̀ а҆́ще не благоразꙋ́мно сло́во дадитѐ ѧ҆зы́комъ, ка́кѡ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́етсѧ глаго́лемое; Бꙋ́дете бо на воздꙋ́хъ глаго́люще.
9 οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς διὰ τῆς γλώσσης ἐὰν μὴ εὔσημον λόγον δῶτε, πῶς γνωσθήσεται τὸ λαλούμενον; ἔσεσθε γὰρ εἰς ἀέρα λαλοῦντες.
10 Толи́цы ᲂу҆́бѡ, а҆́ще ключи́тсѧ, ро́ди гласѡ́въ сꙋ́ть въ мі́рѣ, и҆ ни є҆ди́нъ и҆́хъ безгла́сенъ.
10 τοσαῦτα εἰ τύχοι γένη φωνῶν ἐστιν ἐν κόσμῳ, καὶ οὐδὲν αὐτῶν ἄφωνον·
11 А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо не ᲂу҆вѣ́мъ си́лы гла́са, бꙋ́дꙋ глаго́лющемꙋ и҆ноѧзы́чникъ, и҆ глаго́лющїй мнѣ̀ и҆ноѧзы́чникъ.
11 ἐὰν οὖν μὴ εἰδῶ τὴν δύναμιν τῆς φωνῆς, ἔσομαι τῷ λαλοῦντι βάρβαρος καὶ ὁ λαλῶν ἐν ἐμοὶ βάρβαρος.
12 Та́кѡ и҆ вы̀, поне́же ревни́телє є҆стѐ дꙋховѡ́мъ, (ꙗ҆̀же) къ созида́нїю цр҃кве проси́те, да и҆збы́точествꙋете.
12 οὕτω καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐπεὶ ζηλωταί ἐστε πνευμάτων, πρὸς τὴν οἰκοδομὴν τῆς ἐκκλησίας ζητεῖτε ἵνα περισσεύητε.
13 Тѣ́мже глаго́лѧй ѧ҆зы́комъ да мо́литсѧ, да сказꙋ́етъ.
13 Διόπερ ὁ λαλῶν γλώσσῃ προσευχέσθω ἵνα διερμηνεύῃ.
14 А҆́ще бо молю́сѧ ѧ҆зы́комъ, дꙋ́хъ мо́й мо́литсѧ, а҆ ᲂу҆́мъ мо́й без̾ плода̀ є҆́сть.
14 ἐὰν γὰρ προσεύχωμαι γλώσσῃ, τὸ πνεῦμά μου προσεύχεται, ὁ δὲ νοῦς μου ἄκαρπός ἐστι.
15 Что̀ ᲂу҆̀бо є҆́сть; Помолю́сѧ дꙋ́хомъ, помолю́сѧ же и҆ ᲂу҆мо́мъ: воспою̀ дꙋ́хомъ, воспою́ же и҆ ᲂу҆мо́мъ.
15 τί οὖν ἐστι; προσεύξομαι τῷ πνεύματι, προσεύξομαι δὲ καὶ τῷ νοΐ· ψαλῶ τῷ πνεύματι, ψαλῶ δὲ καὶ τῷ νοΐ.
16 Поне́же а҆́ще благослови́ши дꙋ́хомъ, и҆сполнѧ́ѧй мѣ́сто невѣ́жды ка́кѡ рече́тъ а҆ми́нь, по твоемꙋ̀ благодаре́нїю; Поне́же не вѣ́сть, что̀ глаго́леши.
16 ἐπεὶ ἐὰν εὐλογήσῃς τῷ πνεύματι, ὁ ἀναπληρῶν τὸν τόπον τοῦ ἰδιώτου πῶς ἐρεῖ τὸ ἀμὴν ἐπὶ τῇ σῇ εὐχαριστίᾳ; ἐπειδὴ τί λέγεις οὐκ οἶδε·
17 Ты̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ до́брѣ благодари́ши, но дрꙋгі́й не созида́етсѧ.
17 σὺ μὲν γὰρ καλῶς εὐχαριστεῖς, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ ἕτερος οὐκ οἰκοδομεῖται.
18 Благодарю̀ бг҃а моего̀, па́че всѣ́хъ ва́съ ѧ҆зы̑ки глаго́лѧ:
18 εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ μου πάντων ὑμῶν μᾶλλον γλώσσαις λαλῶν·
19 но въ цр҃кви хощꙋ̀ пѧ́ть слове́съ ᲂу҆мо́мъ мои́мъ глаго́лати, да и҆ и҆́ны по́льзꙋю, не́жели тьмы̑ слове́съ ѧ҆зы́комъ.
19 ἀλλ᾽ ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ θέλω πέντε λόγους διὰ τοῦ νοός μου λαλῆσαι, ἵνα καὶ ἄλλους κατηχήσω, ἢ μυρίους λόγους ἐν γλώσσῃ.
20 Бра́тїе, не дѣ́ти быва́йте ᲂу҆мы̑: но ѕло́бою младе́нствꙋйте, ᲂу҆мы̑ же соверше́ни быва́йте.
20 Ἀδελφοί, μὴ παιδία γίνεσθε ταῖς φρεσίν, ἀλλὰ τῇ κακίᾳ νηπιάζετε, ταῖς δὲ φρεσὶ τέλειοι γίνεσθε.
21 Въ зако́нѣ пи́шетъ: ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ны́ми ѧ҆зы̑ки и҆ ᲂу҆стны̑ и҆ны́ми возгл҃ю лю́демъ си̑мъ, и҆ ни та́кѡ послꙋ́шаютъ менє̀, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.
21 ἐν τῷ νόμῳ γέγραπται ὅτι ἐν ἑτερογλώσσοις καὶ ἐν χείλεσιν ἑτέροις λαλήσω τῷ λαῷ τούτῳ, καὶ οὐδ᾽ οὕτως εἰσακούσονταί μου λέγει Κύριος.
22 Тѣ́мже ѧ҆зы́цы въ зна́менїе сꙋ́ть не вѣ́рꙋющымъ, но невѣ̑рнымъ: а҆ прⷪ҇ро́чество не невѣ̑рнымъ, но вѣ́рꙋющымъ.
22 ὥστε αἱ γλῶσσαι εἰς σημεῖόν εἰσιν οὐ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν, ἀλλὰ τοῖς ἀπίστοις, ἡ δὲ προφητεία οὐ τοῖς ἀπίστοις, ἀλλὰ τοῖς πιστεύουσιν.
23 А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо сни́детсѧ цр҃ковь всѧ̀ вкꙋ́пѣ, и҆ всѝ ѧ҆зы̑ки глаго́лютъ, вни́дꙋтъ же (и҆) неразꙋ́мивїи и҆лѝ невѣ́рнїи, не рекꙋ́тъ ли, ꙗ҆́кѡ бѣснꙋ́етесѧ;
23 Ἐὰν οὖν συνέλθῃ ἡ ἐκκλησία ὅλη ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ καὶ πάντες γλώσσαις λαλῶσιν, εἰσέλθωσι δὲ ἰδιῶται ἢ ἄπιστοι, οὐκ ἐροῦσιν ὅτι μαίνεσθε;
24 А҆́ще же всѝ прⷪ҇ро́чествꙋютъ, вни́детъ же нѣ́кїй невѣ́ренъ и҆лѝ невѣ́жда, ѡ҆блича́етсѧ всѣ́ми, (и҆) и҆стѧзꙋ́етсѧ ѿ всѣ́хъ,
24 ἐὰν δὲ πάντες προφητεύωσιν, εἰσέλθῃ δέ τις ἄπιστος ἢ ἰδιώτης, ἐλέγχεται ὑπὸ πάντων, ἀνακρίνεται ὑπὸ πάντων,
25 и҆ си́це та̑йнаѧ се́рдца є҆гѡ̀ ꙗ҆влє́на быва́ютъ: и҆ та́кѡ па́дъ ни́цъ покло́нитсѧ бг҃ови, возвѣща́ѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вои́стиннꙋ бг҃ъ съ ва́ми є҆́сть.
25 καὶ οὕτω τὰ κρυπτὰ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ φανερὰ γίνεται· καὶ οὕτω πεσὼν ἐπὶ πρόσωπον προσκυνήσει τῷ Θεῷ, ἀπαγγέλλων ὅτι ὁ Θεὸς ὄντως ἐν ὑμῖν ἐστι.
26 Что̀ ᲂу҆̀бо є҆́сть, бра́тїе; Є҆гда̀ схо́дитесѧ, кі́йждо ва́съ ѱало́мъ и҆́мать, ᲂу҆че́нїе и҆́мать, ѧ҆зы́къ и҆́мать ѿкрове́нїе и҆́мать, сказа́нїе и҆́мать: всѧ̑ (же) къ созида́нїю да быва́ютъ.
26 Τί οὖν ἐστιν, ἀδελφοί; ὅταν συνέρχησθε, ἕκαστος ὑμῶν ψαλμὸν ἔχει, διδαχὴν ἔχει, γλῶσσαν ἔχει, ἀποκάλυψιν ἔχει, ἑρμηνείαν ἔχει· πάντα πρὸς οἰκοδομὴν γινέσθω.
27 А҆́ще ѧ҆зы́комъ кто̀ глаго́летъ, по двѣма̀, и҆лѝ мно́жае по трїе́мъ, и҆ по ча́сти: и҆ є҆ди́нъ да сказꙋ́етъ.
27 εἴτε γλώσσῃ τις λαλεῖ, κατὰ δύο ἢ τὸ πλεῖστον τρεῖς, καὶ ἀνὰ μέρος, καὶ εἷς διερμηνευέτω·
28 А҆́ще ли не бꙋ́детъ сказа́тель, да молчи́тъ въ цр҃кви, себѣ́ же да глаго́летъ и҆ бг҃ови.
28 ἐὰν δὲ μὴ ᾖ διερμηνευτής, σιγάτω ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ, ἑαυτῷ δὲ λαλείτω καὶ τῷ Θεῷ.
29 Прⷪ҇ро́цы же два̀ и҆лѝ трїѐ да глаго́лютъ, и҆ дрꙋзі́и да разсꙋжда́ютъ:
29 προφῆται δὲ δύο ἢ τρεῖς λαλείτωσαν, καὶ οἱ ἄλλοι διακρινέτωσαν·
30 а҆́ще ли и҆но́мꙋ ѿкры́етсѧ сѣдѧ́щꙋ, пе́рвый да молчи́тъ.
30 ἐὰν δὲ ἄλλῳ ἀποκαλυφθῇ καθημένῳ, ὁ πρῶτος σιγάτω.
31 Мо́жете бо всѝ по є҆ди́номꙋ прⷪ҇ро́чествовати, да всѝ ᲂу҆ча́тсѧ и҆ всѝ ᲂу҆тѣша́ютсѧ.
31 δύνασθε γὰρ καθ᾽ ἕνα πάντες προφητεύειν, ἵνα πάντες μανθάνωσι καὶ πάντες παρακαλῶνται·
32 И҆ дꙋ́си прⷪ҇ро́честїи прⷪ҇ро́кѡмъ повинꙋ́ютсѧ:
32 καὶ πνεύματα προφητῶν προφήταις ὑποτάσσεται·
33 нѣ́сть бо нестрое́нїѧ бг҃ъ, но ми́ра, ꙗ҆́кѡ во всѣ́хъ цр҃квахъ ст҃ы́хъ.
33 οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἀκαταστασίας ὁ Θεός, ἀλλὰ εἰρήνης.
34 Жєны̀ ва́шѧ въ цр҃квахъ да молча́тъ: не повелѣ́сѧ бо и҆̀мъ глаго́лати, но повинова́тисѧ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ зако́нъ глаго́летъ.
34 Ὡς ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις τῶν ἁγίων, αἱ γυναῖκες ὑμῶν ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις σιγάτωσαν· οὐ γὰρ ἐπιτέτραπται αὐταῖς λαλεῖν, ἀλλ᾽ ὑποτάσσεσθαι, καθὼς καὶ ὁ νόμος λέγει.
35 А҆́ще ли чесомꙋ̀ наꙋчи́тисѧ хотѧ́тъ, въ домꙋ̀ свои́хъ мꙋже́й да вопроша́ютъ: сра́мно бо є҆́сть женѣ̀ въ цр҃кви глаго́лати.
35 εἰ δέ τι μαθεῖν θέλουσιν, ἐν οἴκῳ τοὺς ἰδίους ἄνδρας ἐπερωτάτωσαν· αἰσχρὸν γάρ ἐστι γυναιξὶν ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ λαλεῖν.
36 И҆лѝ ѿ ва́съ сло́во бж҃їе и҆зы́де; И҆лѝ ва́съ є҆ди́ныхъ дости́же;
36 ἢ ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐξῆλθεν, ἢ εἰς ὑμᾶς μόνους κατήντησεν;
37 А҆́ще кто̀ мни́тсѧ прⷪ҇ро́къ бы́ти и҆лѝ дꙋхо́венъ, да разꙋмѣ́етъ, ꙗ҆̀же пишꙋ̀ ва́мъ, занѐ гдⷭ҇ни сꙋ́ть за́пѡвѣди;
37 Εἴ τις δοκεῖ προφήτης εἶναι ἢ πνευματικός, ἐπιγινωσκέτω ἃ γράφω ὑμῖν, ὅτι τοῦ Κυρίου εἰσὶν ἐντολαί·
38 а҆́ще ли кто̀ не разꙋмѣ́етъ, да не разꙋмѣва́етъ.
38 εἰ δέ τις ἀγνοεῖ, ἀγνοείτω.
39 Тѣ́мже, бра́тїе моѧ̑, ревнꙋ́йте є҆́же прⷪ҇ро́чествовати, и҆ є҆́же глаго́лати ѧ҆зы̑ки не возбранѧ́йте:
39 Ὥστε, ἀδελφοί, ζηλοῦτε τὸ προφητεύειν, καὶ τὸ λαλεῖν γλώσσαις μὴ κωλύετε·
40 всѧ̑ же благоѡбра́знѡ и҆ по чи́нꙋ да быва́ютъ.
40 πάντα εὐσχημόνως καὶ κατὰ τάξιν γινέσθω.

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).
Thus, inasmuch as he had with exactness rehearsed unto them all the excellence of love, he exhorts them in what follows, with alacrity to lay hold of it.

Is it not those who love God, and who believe His promises, and who "in malice have become as little children?"

And, "Be not children in understanding, howbeit in malice be ye children," that in "understanding ye may be perfect;" and "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you?" But now not in his own voice, …

For signs are "not for them that believe, but for them that believe not." But why in the fashion of a dove?

For the clouds which are the Prophets were removed from them, and are for the future in the Church; as Paul says, Let the Prophets speak two or three, and let the others judge; and again, God gave in the Church, some, Apostles, and some, Prophets.
