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 Та́кѡ на́съ да непщꙋ́етъ человѣ́къ, ꙗ҆́кѡ слꙋ́гъ хрⷭ҇то́выхъ и҆ строи́телей та̑инъ бж҃їихъ:
1 So let a man think of us as Christ’s servants and stewards of God’s mysteries.
2 а҆ є҆́же про́чее и҆́щетсѧ въ строи́телехъ, да вѣ́ренъ кто̀ ѡ҆брѧ́щетсѧ.
2 Here, moreover, it is required of stewards that they be found faithful.
3 Мнѣ́ же не вели́ко є҆́сть, да ѿ ва́съ и҆стѧжꙋ́сѧ, и҆лѝ ѿ человѣ́ческагѡ днѐ: но ни са́мъ себѐ востѧзꙋ́ю.
3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by a human court. Yes, I don’t even judge my own self.
4 Ничесѡ́же бо въ себѣ̀ свѣ́мъ, но ни ѡ҆ се́мъ ѡ҆правда́юсѧ: востѧзꙋ́ѧй же мѧ̀ гдⷭ҇ь є҆́сть.
4 For I know nothing against myself. Yet I am not justified by this, but he who judges me is the Lord.
5 Тѣ́мже пре́жде вре́мене ничто́же сꙋди́те, до́ндеже прїи́детъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆́же во свѣ́тѣ приведе́тъ та̑йнаѧ тьмы̀ и҆ ѡ҆б̾ѧви́тъ совѣ́ты сердє́чныѧ, и҆ тогда̀ похвала̀ бꙋ́детъ комꙋ́ждо ѿ бг҃а.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each man will get his praise from God.
6 Сїѧ̑ же, бра́тїе (моѧ̑), преѡбрази́хъ на себѐ и҆ а҆поллѡ́са ва́съ ра́ди, да ѿ на́ю наꙋчите́сѧ не па́че напи́санныхъ мꙋ́дрствовати, да не є҆ди́нъ по є҆ди́номꙋ гордите́сѧ на дрꙋга́го.
6 Now these things, brothers, I have in a figure transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to think beyond the things which are written, that none of you be puffed up against one another.
7 Кто́ бо тѧ̀ разсꙋжда́етъ; Что́ же и҆́маши, є҆гѡ́же нѣ́си прїѧ́лъ; А҆́ще же и҆ прїѧ́лъ є҆сѝ, что̀ хва́лишисѧ ꙗ҆́кѡ не прїе́мъ;
7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?
8 Сѐ, сы́ти є҆стѐ, сѐ, ѡ҆богати́стесѧ, без̾ на́съ воцари́стесѧ: и҆ ѽ, дабы̀ воцари́лисѧ є҆стѐ, да и҆ мы̀ бы́хомъ съ ва́ми ца́рствовали.
8 You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you!
9 Мню́ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ ны̀ посла́нники послѣ́днїѧ ꙗ҆вѝ, ꙗ҆́кѡ насме́ртники: занѐ позо́ръ бы́хомъ мі́рꙋ и҆ а҆́гг҃лѡмъ и҆ человѣ́кѡмъ.
9 For I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men.
10 Мы̀ (ᲂу҆́бѡ) бꙋ́и хрⷭ҇та̀ ра́ди, вы́ же мꙋ́дри ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀: мы̀ не́мощни, вы́ же крѣ́пцы: вы̀ сла́вни, мы́ же безче́стни.
10 We are fools for Christ’s sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor.
11 До нн҃ѣшнѧгѡ часа̀ и҆ а҆́лчемъ, и҆ жа́ждемъ, и҆ наготꙋ́емъ, и҆ стра́ждемъ, и҆ скита́емсѧ,
11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place.
12 и҆ трꙋжда́емсѧ, дѣ́лающе свои́ми рꙋка́ми. Оу҆корѧ́еми, благословлѧ́емъ: гони́ми, терпи́мъ:
12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure.
13 хꙋ́лими, ᲂу҆тѣша́емсѧ: ꙗ҆́коже ѡ҆тре́би мі́рꙋ бы́хомъ, всѣ̑мъ попра́нїе досе́лѣ.
13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now.
14 Не срамлѧ́ѧ ва́съ сїѧ̑ пишꙋ̀, но ꙗ҆́коже ча̑да моѧ̑ возлю́блєннаѧ наказꙋ́ю.
14 I don’t write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.
15 А҆́ще бо (и҆) мнѡ́ги пѣ́стꙋны и҆́мате ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀, но не мнѡ́ги ѻ҆тцы̀: ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ́ бо і҆и҃сѣ бл҃говѣствова́нїемъ а҆́зъ вы̀ роди́хъ.
15 For though you have ten thousand tutors in Christ, you don’t have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus, I became your father through the Good News.
16 Молю́ же ва́съ: подо́бни мнѣ̀ быва́йте, ꙗ҆́коже а҆́зъ хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀.
16 I beg you therefore, be imitators of me.
17 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди посла́хъ къ ва́мъ тїмоѳе́а, и҆́же мѝ є҆́сть ча́до возлю́блено и҆ вѣ́рно ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ, и҆́же ва́мъ воспомѧ́нетъ пꙋти̑ моѧ̑, ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ, ꙗ҆́коже вездѣ̀ и҆ во всѧ́цѣй цр҃кви ᲂу҆чꙋ̀.
17 Because of this I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful child in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways which are in Christ, even as I teach everywhere in every assembly.
18 Ꙗ҆́кѡ не грѧдꙋ́щꙋ мѝ къ ва́мъ, разгордѣ́шасѧ нѣ́цыи:
18 Now some are puffed up, as though I were not coming to you.
19 прїидꙋ́ же ско́рѡ къ ва́мъ, а҆́ще гдⷭ҇ь восхо́щетъ, и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ю не сло́во разгордѣ́вшихсѧ, но си́лꙋ:
19 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing. And I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power.
20 не въ словеси́ бо црⷭ҇тво бж҃їе, но въ си́лѣ.
20 For God’s Kingdom is not in word, but in power.
21 Что̀ хо́щете; съ па́лицею ли прїидꙋ̀ къ ва́мъ, и҆лѝ съ любо́вїю и҆ дꙋ́хомъ кро́тости;
21 What do you want? Shall I come to you with a rod, or in love and a spirit of gentleness?

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).
Together with all other ills, I know not how, there hath come upon man's nature the disease of restless prying and of unseasonable curiosity, which Christ Himself chastised, saying, (St. Matt. vii. 1.) "Judge not, that ye be not judged." A kind of thing, which hath no pleasure as all other sins have, but only punishment and vengeance.

… not one thing in one place, and another in another; according to which Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and Moses, and David, and all those commended by the mouth of God were righteous, but were judged unrighteous by foolish men, judging out of man's judgment, and gauging by the petty standard of their own manners the manners of the whole …

… is against our will; but nevertheless it doth not escape punishment, but of it too we have to give account:--both of what we know, and of what we do not know; "For I know nothing by myself," saith one, "yet am I not hereby justified:" --both for what we have done in ignorance, and what in knowledge; "For I bear …

And the Martyrs confess, by being made a spectacle unto the world, and to Angels, and to men; and thou wilt soon confess:--but it is not yet the time for thee to hear of this.

7. For it is Thou, Lord, that judgest me; for although no "man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him," yet is there something of man which "the spirit of man which is in him" itself knoweth not.
