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 Па́ѵелъ, зва́нъ а҆пⷭ҇лъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ во́лею бж҃їею, и҆ сѡсѳе́нъ бра́тъ,
1 Παῦλος, κλητὸς ἀπόστολος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ διὰ θελήματος Θεοῦ, καὶ Σωσθένης ὁ ἀδελφός,
2 цр҃кви бж҃їей сꙋ́щей въ корі́нѳѣ, ѡ҆сщ҃є́ннымъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ, зва̑ннымъ ст҃ы̑мъ, со всѣ́ми призыва́ющими и҆́мѧ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, во всѧ́цѣмъ мѣ́стѣ, тѣ́хъ же и҆ на́шемъ:
2 τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῇ οὔσῃ ἐν Κορίνθῳ, ἡγιασμένοις ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, κλητοῖς ἁγίοις, σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπικαλουμένοις τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐν παντὶ τόπῳ αὐτῶν τε καὶ ἡμῶν·
3 блгⷣть ва́мъ и҆ ми́ръ ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ на́шегѡ и҆ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.
3 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
4 Благодарю̀ бг҃а моего̀ всегда̀ ѡ҆ ва́съ, ѡ҆ блгⷣти бж҃їей да́ннѣй ва́мъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ,
4 Εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ μου πάντοτε περὶ ὑμῶν ἐπὶ τῇ χάριτι τοῦ Θεοῦ τῇ δοθείσῃ ὑμῖν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ,
5 ꙗ҆́кѡ во все́мъ ѡ҆богати́стесѧ ѡ҆ не́мъ, во всѧ́цѣмъ сло́вѣ и҆ всѧ́цѣмъ ра́зꙋмѣ,
5 ὅτι ἐν παντὶ ἐπλουτίσθητε ἐν αὐτῷ, ἐν παντὶ λόγῳ καὶ πάσῃ γνώσει,
6 ꙗ҆́коже свидѣ́тельство хрⷭ҇то́во и҆звѣсти́сѧ въ ва́съ:
6 καθὼς τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐβεβαιώθη ἐν ὑμῖν,
7 ꙗ҆́кѡ ва́мъ не лиши́тисѧ ни во є҆ди́нѣмъ дарова́нїи, ча́ющымъ ѿкрове́нїѧ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀,
7 ὥστε ὑμᾶς μὴ ὑστερεῖσθαι ἐν μηδενὶ χαρίσματι, ἀπεκδεχομένους τὴν ἀποκάλυψιν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ·
8 и҆́же и҆ ᲂу҆тверди́тъ ва́съ да́же до конца̀ непови́нныхъ въ де́нь гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.
8 ὃς καὶ βεβαιώσει ὑμᾶς ἕως τέλους ἀνεγκλήτους ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
9 Вѣ́ренъ бг҃ъ, и҆́мже зва́ни бы́сте во ѻ҆бще́нїе сн҃а є҆гѡ̀ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ.
9 πιστὸς ὁ Θεὸς δι᾽ οὗ ἐκλήθητε εἰς κοινωνίαν τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν.
10 Молю́ же вы̀, бра́тїе, и҆́менемъ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, да то́жде глаго́лете всѝ, и҆ да не бꙋ́дꙋтъ въ ва́съ ра̑спри, да бꙋ́дете же ᲂу҆твержде́ни въ то́мже разꙋмѣ́нїи и҆ въ то́йже мы́сли.
10 Παρακαλῶ δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, διὰ τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα τὸ αὐτὸ λέγητε πάντες, καὶ μὴ ᾖ ἐν ὑμῖν σχίσματα, ἦτε δὲ κατηρτισμένοι ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ νοῒ καὶ ἐν τῇ αὐτῇ γνώμῃ.
11 Возвѣсти́сѧ бо мѝ ѡ҆ ва́съ, бра́тїе моѧ̑, (пѡ́сланнымъ) ѿ хло́иса, ꙗ҆́кѡ рвє́нїѧ въ ва́съ сꙋ́ть.
11 ἐδηλώθη γάρ μοι περὶ ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί μου, ὑπὸ τῶν Χλόης ὅτι ἔριδες ἐν ὑμῖν εἰσι.
12 Глаго́лю же сѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ кі́йждо ва́съ глаго́летъ: а҆́зъ ᲂу҆́бѡ є҆́смь па́ѵловъ, а҆́зъ же а҆поллѡ́совъ, а҆́зъ же ки́финъ, а҆́зъ же хрⷭ҇то́въ.
12 λέγω δὲ τοῦτο, ὅτι ἕκαστος ὑμῶν λέγει· ἐγὼ μέν εἰμι Παύλου, ἐγὼ δὲ Ἀπολλώ, ἐγὼ δὲ Κηφᾶ, ἐγὼ δὲ Χριστοῦ.
13 Є҆да̀ раздѣли́сѧ хрⷭ҇то́съ, є҆да̀ па́ѵелъ распѧ́тсѧ по ва́съ; и҆лѝ во и҆́мѧ па́ѵлово крести́стесѧ;
13 μεμέρισται ὁ Χριστός; μὴ Παῦλος ἐσταυρώθη ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν; ἢ εἰς τὸ ὄνομα Παύλου ἐβαπτίσθητε;
14 Благодарю̀ бг҃а, ꙗ҆́кѡ ни є҆ди́наго ѿ ва́съ крести́хъ, то́чїю крі́спа и҆ га́їа,
14 εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ ὅτι οὐδένα ὑμῶν ἐβάπτισα εἰ μὴ Κρίσπον καὶ Γάϊον,
15 да не кто̀ рече́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ моѐ и҆́мѧ крести́хъ.
15 ἵνα μή τις εἴπῃ ὅτι εἰς τὸ ἐμὸν ὄνομα ἐβάπτισα.
16 Крести́хъ же и҆ стефани́новъ до́мъ: про́чее не вѣ́мъ, а҆́ще кого̀ и҆но́го крести́хъ.
16 ἐβάπτισα δὲ καὶ τὸν Στεφανᾶ οἶκον· λοιπὸν οὐκ οἶδα εἴ τινα ἄλλον ἐβάπτισα.
17 Не посла́ бо менѐ хрⷭ҇то́съ крести́ти, но благовѣсти́ти, не въ премꙋ́дрости сло́ва, да не и҆спраздни́тсѧ крⷭ҇тъ хрⷭ҇то́въ.
17 οὐ γὰρ ἀπέστειλέ με Χριστὸς βαπτίζειν, ἀλλ᾽ εὐαγγελίζεσθαι, οὐκ ἐν σοφίᾳ λόγου, ἵνα μὴ κενωθῇ ὁ σταυρὸς τοῦ Χριστοῦ.
18 Сло́во бо крⷭ҇тное погиба́ющымъ ᲂу҆́бѡ ю҆ро́дство є҆́сть, а҆ спаса́ємымъ на́мъ си́ла бж҃їѧ є҆́сть.
18 Ὁ λόγος γὰρ ὁ τοῦ σταυροῦ τοῖς μὲν ἀπολλυμένοις μωρία ἐστί, τοῖς δὲ σῳζομένοις ἡμῖν δύναμις Θεοῦ ἐστι.
19 Пи́сано бо є҆́сть: погꙋблю̀ премꙋ́дрость премꙋ́дрыхъ, и҆ ра́зꙋмъ разꙋ́мныхъ ѿве́ргꙋ.
19 γέγραπται γάρ· ἀπολῶ τὴν σοφίαν τῶν σοφῶν, καὶ τὴν σύνεσιν τῶν συνετῶν ἀθετήσω.
20 Гдѣ̀ премꙋ́дръ; гдѣ̀ кни́жникъ; гдѣ̀ совопро́сникъ вѣ́ка сегѡ̀; Не ѡ҆бꙋи́ ли бг҃ъ премꙋ́дрость мі́ра сегѡ̀;
20 ποῦ σοφός; ποῦ γραμματεύς; ποῦ συζητητὴς τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου; οὐχὶ ἐμώρανεν ὁ Θεὸς τὴν σοφίαν τοῦ κόσμου τούτου;
21 Поне́же бо въ премⷣрости бж҃їей не разꙋмѣ̀ мі́ръ премꙋ́дростїю бг҃а, бл҃гоизво́лилъ бг҃ъ бꙋ́йствомъ про́повѣди спⷭ҇тѝ вѣ́рꙋющихъ.
21 ἐπειδὴ γὰρ ἐν τῇ σοφίᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐκ ἔγνω ὁ κόσμος διὰ τῆς σοφίας τὸν Θεόν, εὐδόκησεν ὁ Θεὸς διὰ τῆς μωρίας τοῦ κηρύγματος σῶσαι τοὺς πιστεύοντας.
22 Поне́же и҆ і҆ꙋде́є зна́менїѧ про́сѧтъ, и҆ є҆́ллини премꙋ́дрости и҆́щꙋтъ:
22 ἐπειδὴ καὶ Ἰουδαῖοι σημεῖον αἰτοῦσι καὶ Ἕλληνες σοφίαν ζητοῦσιν,
23 мы́ же проповѣ́дꙋемъ хрⷭ҇та̀ ра́спѧта, і҆ꙋде́ємъ ᲂу҆́бѡ собла́знъ, є҆́ллинѡмъ же безꙋ́мїе,
23 ἡμεῖς δὲ κηρύσσομεν Χριστὸν ἐσταυρωμένον, Ἰουδαίοις μὲν σκάνδαλον, Ἕλλησι δὲ μωρίαν,
24 самѣ̑мъ же зва̑ннымъ і҆ꙋде́ємъ же и҆ є҆́ллинѡмъ хрⷭ҇та̀, бж҃їю си́лꙋ и҆ бж҃їю премⷣрость:
24 αὐτοῖς δὲ τοῖς κλητοῖς, Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἕλλησι, Χριστὸν Θεοῦ δύναμιν καὶ Θεοῦ σοφίαν·
25 занѐ бꙋ́ее бж҃їе премⷣрѣе человѣ̑къ є҆́сть, и҆ немощно́е бж҃їе крѣпча́е человѣ̑къ є҆́сть.
25 ὅτι τὸ μωρὸν τοῦ Θεοῦ σοφώτερον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐστί, καὶ τὸ ἀσθενὲς τοῦ Θεοῦ ἰσχυρότερον τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐστί.
26 Ви́дите бо зва́нїе ва́ше, бра́тїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ не мно́зи премꙋ́дри по пло́ти, не мно́зи си́льни, не мно́зи благоро́дни:
26 Βλέπετε γὰρ τὴν κλῆσιν ὑμῶν, ἀδελφοί, ὅτι οὐ πολλοὶ σοφοὶ κατὰ σάρκα, οὐ πολλοὶ δυνατοί, οὐ πολλοὶ εὐγενεῖς,
27 но бꙋ̑ѧѧ мі́ра и҆збра̀ бг҃ъ, да премꙋ̑дрыѧ посрами́тъ, и҆ не́мѡщнаѧ мі́ра и҆збра̀ бг҃ъ, да посрами́тъ крѣ̑пкаѧ:
27 ἀλλὰ τὰ μωρὰ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεὸς ἵνα τοὺς σοφοὺς καταισχύνῃ, καὶ τὰ ἀσθενῆ τοῦ κόσμου ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεὸς ἵνα καταισχύνῃ τὰ ἰσχυρά,
28 и҆ хꙋдорѡ́днаѧ мі́ра и҆ ᲂу҆ничижє́ннаѧ и҆збра̀ бг҃ъ, и҆ не сꙋ̑щаѧ, да сꙋ̑щаѧ ᲂу҆праздни́тъ,
28 καὶ τὰ ἀγενῆ τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τὰ ἐξουθενημένα ἐξελέξατο ὁ Θεός, καὶ τὰ μὴ ὄντα, ἵνα τὰ ὄντα καταργήσῃ,
29 ꙗ҆́кѡ да не похва́литсѧ всѧ́ка пло́ть пред̾ бг҃омъ.
29 ὅπως μὴ καυχήσηται πᾶσα σὰρξ ἐνώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ.
30 И҆з̾ негѡ́же вы̀ є҆стѐ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ, и҆́же бы́сть на́мъ премⷣрость ѿ бг҃а, пра́вда же и҆ ѡ҆сщ҃е́нїе и҆ и҆збавле́нїе,
30 ἐξ αὐτοῦ δὲ ὑμεῖς ἐστε ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, ὃς ἐγενήθη ἡμῖν σοφία ἀπὸ Θεοῦ, δικαιοσύνη τε καὶ ἁγιασμὸς καὶ ἀπολύτρωσις,
31 да, ꙗ҆́коже пи́шетсѧ: хвалѧ́йсѧ, ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ да хва́литсѧ.
31 ἵνα, καθὼς γέγραπται, ὁ καυχώμενος ἐν Κυρίῳ καυχάσθω.

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).
See how immediately, from the very beginning, he casts down their pride, and dashes to the ground all their fond imagination, in that he speaks of himself as "called." For what I have learnt, saith he, I discovered not myself, nor acquired by my own wisdom, but while I was persecuting and laying waste the Church I was called.

… "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, neither let the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glorieth glory in the Lord, in diligently seeking Him, and doing judgment and righteousness" ), being especially mindful of the words of the Lord Jesus which He spake, teaching …
Moreover, they affirm that the Apostle Paul himself made mention of this cross in the following words: "The doctrine of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us who are saved it is the power of God." And again: "God forbid that I should glory in anything save in the cross of Christ, by whom the world …
But the Only-begotten has been "made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification," and has been numbered amongst us, and paid tribute to Cæsar.

… whom;" as when it saith, "I have gotten a man by God," putting not the second cause, but the first; and again, "Is not the interpretation of them by God," and, "God is faithful, by whom ye are called unto the fellowship of His Son."
