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 А҆ ѡ҆ ни́хже писа́сте мѝ, добро̀ человѣ́кꙋ женѣ̀ не прикаса́тисѧ.
1 Περὶ δὲ ὧν ἐγράψατέ μοι, καλὸν ἀνθρώπῳ γυναικὸς μὴ ἅπτεσθαι·
2 Но блꙋдодѣѧ́нїѧ ра́ди кі́йждо свою̀ женꙋ̀ да и҆́мать, и҆ ка́ѧждо (жена̀) своего̀ мꙋ́жа да и҆́мать.
2 διὰ δὲ τὰς πορνείας ἕκαστος τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα ἐχέτω, καὶ ἑκάστη τὸν ἴδιον ἄνδρα ἐχέτω.
3 Женѣ̀ мꙋ́жъ до́лжнꙋю любо́вь да воздае́тъ: та́кожде и҆ жена̀ мꙋ́жꙋ.
3 τῇ γυναικὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ τὴν ὀφειλομένην εὔνοιαν ἀποδιδότω, ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ ἡ γυνὴ τῷ ἀνδρί.
4 Жена̀ свои́мъ тѣ́ломъ не владѣ́етъ, но мꙋ́жъ: та́кожде и҆ мꙋ́жъ свои́мъ тѣ́ломъ не владѣ́етъ, но жена̀.
4 ἡ γυνὴ τοῦ ἰδίου σώματος οὐκ ἐξουσιάζει, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ ἀνήρ· ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ ὁ ἀνὴρ τοῦ ἰδίου σώματος οὐκ ἐξουσιάζει, ἀλλ᾽ ἡ γυνή.
5 Не лиша́йте себє̀ дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га, то́чїю по согла́сїю до вре́мене, да пребыва́ете въ постѣ̀ и҆ моли́твѣ, и҆ па́ки вкꙋ́пѣ собира́йтесѧ, да не и҆скꙋша́етъ ва́съ сатана̀ невоздержа́нїемъ ва́шимъ.
5 μὴ ἀποστερεῖτε ἀλλήλους, εἰ μή τι ἂν ἐκ συμφώνου πρὸς καιρόν, ἵνα σχολάζητε τῇ νηστείᾳ καὶ τῇ προσευχῇ καὶ πάλιν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ συνέρχησθε, ἵνα μὴ πειράζῃ ὑμᾶς ὁ σατανᾶς διὰ τὴν ἀκρασίαν ὑμῶν.
6 Сїе́ же глаго́лю по совѣ́тꙋ, (а҆) не по повелѣ́нїю.
6 τοῦτο δὲ λέγω κατὰ συγγνώμην, οὐ κατ᾽ ἐπιταγήν.
7 Хощꙋ́ бо, да всѝ человѣ́цы бꙋ́дꙋтъ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ а҆́зъ: но кі́йждо своѐ дарова́нїе и҆́мать ѿ бг҃а, ѻ҆́въ ᲂу҆́бѡ си́це, ѻ҆́въ же си́це.
7 θέλω γὰρ πάντας ἀνθρώπους εἶναι ὡς καὶ ἐμαυτόν· ἀλλ᾽ ἕκαστος ἴδιον χάρισμα ἔχει ἐκ Θεοῦ, ὃς μὲν οὕτως, ὃς δὲ οὕτως.
8 Глаго́лю же безбра̑чнымъ и҆ вдови́цамъ: добро̀ и҆̀мъ є҆́сть, а҆́ще пребꙋ́дꙋтъ ꙗ҆́коже и҆ а҆́зъ:
8 Λέγω δὲ τοῖς ἀγάμοις καὶ ταῖς χήραις, καλὸν αὐτοῖς ἐστιν ἐὰν μείνωσιν ὡς κἀγώ.
9 а҆́ще ли не ᲂу҆держа́тсѧ, да посѧга́ютъ: лꙋ́чше бо є҆́сть жени́тисѧ, не́жели разжиза́тисѧ.
9 εἰ δὲ οὐκ ἐγκρατεύονται, γαμησάτωσαν· κρεῖσσον γάρ ἐστι γαμῆσαι ἢ πυροῦσθαι.
10 А҆ ѡ҆жени́вшымсѧ завѣщава́ю не а҆́зъ, но гдⷭ҇ь: женѣ̀ ѿ мꙋ́жа не разлꙋча́тисѧ:
10 τοῖς δὲ γεγαμηκόσι παραγγέλλω, οὐκ ἐγώ, ἀλλ᾽ ὁ Κύριος, γυναῖκα ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς μὴ χωρισθῆναι·
11 а҆́ще ли же и҆ разлꙋчи́тсѧ, да пребыва́етъ безбра́чна, и҆лѝ да смири́тсѧ съ мꙋ́жемъ (свои́мъ): и҆ мꙋ́жꙋ жены̀ не ѿпꙋща́ти.
11 ἐὰν δὲ καὶ χωρισθῇ, μενέτω ἄγαμος ἢ τῷ ἀνδρὶ καταλλαγήτω· καὶ ἄνδρα γυναῖκα μὴ ἀφιέναι.
12 Про́чымъ же а҆́зъ глаго́лю, (а҆) не гдⷭ҇ь: а҆́ще кото́рый бра́тъ женꙋ̀ и҆́мать невѣ́рнꙋ, и҆ та̀ благоволи́тъ жи́ти съ ни́мъ, да не ѡ҆ставлѧ́етъ є҆ѧ̀:
12 τοῖς δὲ λοιποῖς ἐγὼ λέγω, οὐχ ὁ Κύριος· εἴ τις ἀδελφὸς γυναῖκα ἔχει ἄπιστον, καὶ αὐτὴ συνευδοκεῖ οἰκεῖν μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, μὴ ἀφιέτω αὐτήν·
13 и҆ жена̀ а҆́ще и҆́мать мꙋ́жа невѣ́рна, и҆ то́й благоволи́тъ жи́ти съ не́ю, да не ѡ҆ставлѧ́етъ є҆гѡ̀:
13 καὶ γυνὴ εἴ τις ἔχει ἄνδρα ἄπιστον, καὶ αὐτὸς συνευδοκεῖ οἰκεῖν μετ᾽ αὐτῆς, μὴ ἀφιέτω αὐτόν.
14 свѧти́тсѧ бо мꙋ́жъ невѣ́ренъ ѡ҆ женѣ̀ вѣ́рнѣ, и҆ свѧти́тсѧ жена̀ невѣ́рна ѡ҆ мꙋ́жи вѣ́рнѣ: и҆на́че бо ча̑да ва̑ша нечи̑ста бы́ли бы, нн҃ѣ же ст҃а сꙋ́ть.
14 ἡγίασται γὰρ ὁ ἀνὴρ ὁ ἄπιστος ἐν τῇ γυναικί, καὶ ἡγίασται ἡ γυνὴ ἡ ἄπιστος ἐν τῷ ἀνδρί· ἐπεὶ ἄρα τὰ τέκνα ὑμῶν ἀκάθαρτά ἐστι, νῦν δὲ ἅγιά ἐστιν.
15 А҆́ще ли невѣ́рный ѿлꙋча́етсѧ, да разлꙋчи́тсѧ: не порабо́тисѧ (бо) бра́тъ и҆лѝ сестра̀ въ таковы́хъ: въ ми́ръ бо призва̀ на́съ (гдⷭ҇ь) бг҃ъ.
15 εἰ δὲ ὁ ἄπιστος χωρίζεται, χωριζέσθω. οὐ δεδούλωται ὁ ἀδελφὸς ἢ ἡ ἀδελφὴ ἐν τοῖς τοιούτοις. ἐν δὲ εἰρήνῃ κέκληκεν ἡμᾶς ὁ Θεός.
16 Что́ бо вѣ́си, же́но, а҆́ще мꙋ́жа спасе́ши; И҆лѝ что̀ вѣ́си, мꙋ́жꙋ, а҆́ще женꙋ̀ спасе́ши;
16 τί γὰρ οἶδας, γύναι, εἰ τὸν ἄνδρα σώσεις; ἢ τί οἶδας, ἄνερ, εἰ τὴν γυναῖκα σώσεις;
17 То́чїю коемꙋ́ждо ꙗ҆́коже раздѣли́лъ є҆́сть бг҃ъ, кі́йждо ꙗ҆́коже при́званъ бы́сть гдⷭ҇емъ, та́кѡ да хо́дитъ: и҆ та́кѡ во всѣ́хъ цр҃квахъ повелѣва́ю.
17 εἰ μὴ ἑκάστῳ ὡς ἐμέρισεν ὁ Θεός, ἕκαστον ὡς κέκληκεν ὁ Κύριος, οὕτω περιπατείτω. καὶ οὕτως ἐν ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις πάσαις διατάσσομαι.
18 Во ѡ҆брѣ́занїи ли кто̀ при́званъ бы́сть; да не ѿто́ргнетсѧ: въ неѡбрѣ́занїи ли кто̀ при́званъ бы́сть; да не ѡ҆брѣ́зꙋетсѧ.
18 περιτετμημένος τις ἐκλήθη; μὴ ἐπισπάσθω. ἐν ἀκροβυστίᾳ τις ἐκλήθη; μὴ περιτεμνέσθω.
19 Ѡ҆брѣ́занїе ничто́же є҆́сть, и҆ неѡбрѣ́занїе ничто́же є҆́сть, но соблюде́нїе за́повѣдїй бж҃їихъ.
19 ἡ περιτομὴ οὐδέν ἐστι, καὶ ἡ ἀκροβυστία οὐδέν ἐστιν, ἀλλὰ τήρησις ἐντολῶν Θεοῦ.
20 Кі́йждо въ зва́нїи, въ не́мже при́званъ бы́сть, въ то́мъ да пребыва́етъ.
20 ἕκαστος ἐν τῇ κλήσει ᾗ ἐκλήθη, ἐν ταύτῃ μενέτω.
21 Ра́бъ ли при́званъ бы́лъ є҆сѝ; да не неради́ши: но а҆́ще и҆ мо́жеши свобо́денъ бы́ти, бо́льше порабо́ти себѐ.
21 δοῦλος ἐκλήθης; μή σοι μελέτω· ἀλλ᾽ εἰ καὶ δύνασαι ἐλεύθερος γενέσθαι, μᾶλλον χρῆσαι.
22 При́званный бо ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ ра́бъ, свобо́дникъ гдⷭ҇ень є҆́сть: та́кожде и҆ при́званный свобо́дникъ, ра́бъ є҆́сть хрⷭ҇то́въ.
22 ὁ γὰρ ἐν Κυρίῳ κληθεὶς δοῦλος ἀπελεύθερος Κυρίου ἐστίν· ὁμοίως καὶ ὁ ἐλεύθερος κληθεὶς δοῦλός ἐστι Χριστοῦ.
23 Цѣно́ю кꙋ́плени є҆стѐ: не бꙋ́дите рабѝ человѣ́кѡмъ.
23 τιμῆς ἠγοράσθητε· μὴ γίνεσθε δοῦλοι ἀνθρώπων.
24 Кі́йждо, въ не́мже при́званъ бы́сть, бра́тїе, въ то́мъ да пребыва́етъ пред̾ бг҃омъ.
24 ἕκαστος ἐν ᾧ ἐκλήθη, ἀδελφοί, ἐν τούτῳ μενέτω παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ.
25 Ѡ҆ дѣ́вахъ же повелѣ́нїѧ гдⷭ҇нѧ не и҆́мамъ, совѣ́тъ же даю̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ поми́лованъ ѿ гдⷭ҇а вѣ́ренъ бы́ти.
25 Περὶ δὲ τῶν παρθένων ἐπιταγὴν Κυρίου οὐκ ἔχω, γνώμην δὲ δίδωμι ὡς ἠλεημένος ὑπὸ Κυρίου πιστὸς εἶναι.
26 Мню̀ ᲂу҆̀бо сїѐ добро̀ бы́ти за настоѧ́щꙋю нꙋ́ждꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ добро̀ человѣ́кꙋ та́кѡ бы́ти.
26 νομίζω οὖν τοῦτο καλὸν ὑπάρχειν διὰ τὴν ἐνεστῶσαν ἀνάγκην, ὅτι καλὸν ἀνθρώπῳ τὸ οὕτως εἶναι.
27 Привѧза́лсѧ ли є҆сѝ женѣ̀; не и҆щѝ разрѣше́нїѧ. Ѿрѣши́лсѧ ли є҆сѝ жены̀; не и҆щѝ жены̀.
27 δέδεσαι γυναικί; μὴ ζήτει λύσιν· λέλυσαι ἀπὸ γυναικός; μὴ ζήτει γυναῖκα·
28 А҆́ще ли же и҆ ѡ҆же́нишисѧ, не согрѣши́лъ є҆сѝ: и҆ а҆́ще посѧ́гнетъ дѣ́ва, не согрѣши́ла є҆́сть. Ско́рбь же пло́ти и҆мѣ́ти бꙋ́дꙋтъ такові́и: а҆́зъ же вы̀ щаждꙋ̀.
28 ἐὰν δὲ καὶ γήμῃς, οὐχ ἥμαρτες· καὶ ἐὰν γήμῃ ἡ παρθένος, οὐχ ἥμαρτε· θλῖψιν δὲ τῇ σαρκὶ ἕξουσιν οἱ τοιοῦτοι· ἐγὼ δὲ ὑμῶν φείδομαι.
29 Сїе́ же глаго́лю, бра́тїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ вре́мѧ прекраще́но є҆́сть про́чее, да и҆ и҆мꙋ́щїи жєны̀, ꙗ҆́коже не и҆мꙋ́щїи бꙋ́дꙋтъ:
29 τοῦτο δέ φημι, ἀδελφοί, ὁ καιρὸς συνεσταλμένος τὸ λοιπόν ἐστιν, ἵνα καὶ οἱ ἔχοντες γυναῖκας ὡς μὴ ἔχοντες ὦσι,
30 и҆ пла́чꙋщїисѧ, ꙗ҆́коже не пла́чꙋщїи: и҆ ра́дꙋющїисѧ, ꙗ҆́коже не ра́дꙋющесѧ: и҆ кꙋпꙋ́ющїи, ꙗ҆́кѡ не содержа́ще:
30 καὶ οἱ κλαίοντες ὡς μὴ κλαίοντες, καὶ οἱ χαίροντες ὡς μὴ χαίροντες, καὶ οἱ ἀγοράζοντες ὡς μὴ κατέχοντες,
31 и҆ тре́бꙋющїи мі́ра сегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не тре́бꙋюще: прехо́дитъ бо ѡ҆́бразъ мі́ра сегѡ̀.
31 καὶ οἱ χρώμενοι τῷ κόσμῳ τούτῳ ὡς μὴ καταχρώμενοι· παράγει γὰρ τὸ σχῆμα τοῦ κόσμου τούτου.
32 Хощꙋ́ же ва́съ безпеча́льныхъ бы́ти. Не ѡ҆жени́выйсѧ пече́тсѧ ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇нихъ, ка́кѡ ᲂу҆годи́ти гдⷭ҇еви:
32 θέλω δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀμερίμνους εἶναι. ὁ ἄγαμος μεριμνᾷ τὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, πῶς ἀρέσει τῷ Κυρίῳ·
33 а҆ ѡ҆жени́выйсѧ пече́тсѧ ѡ҆ мїрски́хъ, ка́кѡ ᲂу҆годи́ти женѣ̀. Раздѣли́сѧ жена̀ и҆ дѣ́ва:
33 ὁ δὲ γαμήσας μεριμνᾷ τὰ τοῦ κόσμου, πῶς ἀρέσει τῇ γυναικί.
34 непосѧ́гшаѧ пече́тсѧ ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇нихъ, ка́кѡ ᲂу҆годи́ти гдⷭ҇еви, да бꙋ́детъ ст҃а̀ и҆ тѣ́ломъ и҆ дꙋ́хомъ: а҆ посѧ́гшаѧ пече́тсѧ ѡ҆ мїрски́хъ, ка́кѡ ᲂу҆годи́ти мꙋ́жꙋ.
34 μεμέρισται [καὶ] ἡ γυνὴ καὶ ἡ παρθένος. ἡ ἄγαμος μεριμνᾷ τὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, ἵνα ᾖ ἁγία καὶ σώματι καὶ πνεύματι· ἡ δὲ γαμήσασα μεριμνᾷ τὰ τοῦ κόσμου, πῶς ἀρέσει τῷ ἀνδρί.
35 Сїе́ же на по́льзꙋ ва́мъ самѣ̑мъ глаго́лю: не да сило̀ ва́мъ наложꙋ̀, но къ благоѡбра́зїю и҆ благопристꙋпа́нїю гдⷭ҇еви безмо́лвнꙋ.
35 τοῦτο δὲ πρὸς τὸ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν συμφέρον λέγω, οὐχ ἵνα βρόχον ὑμῖν ἐπιβάλω, ἀλλὰ πρὸς τὸ εὔσχημον καὶ εὐπάρεδρον τῷ Κυρίῳ ἀπερισπάστως.
36 А҆́ще ли же кто̀ без̾ѡбрази́ти ѡ҆ дѣ́вѣ свое́й непщꙋ́етъ, а҆́ще є҆́сть превозра́стна, и҆ та́кѡ должна̀ є҆́сть бы́ти: є҆́же хо́щетъ, да твори́тъ: не согрѣша́етъ, а҆́ще посѧ́гнетъ.
36 Εἰ δέ τις ἀσχημονεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν παρθένον αὐτοῦ νομίζει, ἐὰν ᾖ ὑπέρακμος, καὶ οὕτως ὀφείλει γίνεσθαι, ὃ θέλει ποιείτω· οὐχ ἁμαρτάνει· γαμείτωσαν.
37 А҆ и҆́же стои́тъ тве́рдѡ се́рдцемъ, не и҆мы́й нꙋ́жды, вла́сть же и҆́мать ѡ҆ свое́й во́ли, и҆ сѐ разсꙋди́лъ є҆́сть въ се́рдцы свое́мъ блюстѝ дѣ́вꙋ свою̀, до́брѣ твори́тъ.
37 ὃς δὲ ἕστηκεν ἑδραῖος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ, μὴ ἔχων ἀνάγκην, ἐξουσίαν δὲ ἔχει περὶ τοῦ ἰδίου θελήματος, καὶ τοῦτο κέκρικεν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ, τοῦ τηρεῖν τὴν ἑαυτοῦ παρθένον, καλῶς ποιεῖ.
38 Тѣ́мже и҆ вдаѧ́й бра́кꙋ свою̀ дѣ́вꙋ до́брѣ твори́тъ: и҆ не вдаѧ́й лꙋ́чше твори́тъ.
38 ὥστε καὶ ὁ ἐκγαμίζων καλῶς ποιεῖ, ὁ δὲ μὴ ἐκγαμίζων κρεῖσσον ποιεῖ.
39 Жена̀ привѧ́зана є҆́сть зако́номъ, въ є҆ли́ко вре́мѧ живе́тъ мꙋ́жъ є҆ѧ̀: а҆́ще же ᲂу҆́мретъ мꙋ́жъ є҆ѧ̀, свобо́дна є҆́сть, за него́же хо́щетъ, посѧ́гнꙋти, то́чїю ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ.
39 Γυνὴ δέδεται νόμῳ ἐφ᾽ ὅσον χρόνον ζῇ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς· ἐὰν δὲ κοιμηθῇ ὁ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς, ἐλευθέρα ἐστὶν ᾧ θέλει γαμηθῆναι, μόνον ἐν Κυρίῳ.
40 Бл҃же́ннѣйша же є҆́сть, а҆́ще та́кѡ пребꙋ́детъ, по моемꙋ̀ совѣ́тꙋ: мню́сѧ бо и҆ а҆́зъ дх҃а бж҃їѧ и҆мѣ́ти.
40 μακαριωτέρα δέ ἐστιν ἐὰν οὕτω μείνῃ, κατὰ τὴν ἐμὴν γνώμην· δοκῶ δὲ κἀγὼ Πνεῦμα Θεοῦ ἔχειν.

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).
Having corrected the three heaviest things laid to their charge, one, the distraction of the Church, another, about the fornicator, a third, about the covetous person, he thenceforth uses a milder sort of speech. And he interposes some exhortation and advice about marriage and virginity, giving the hearers some respite from more unpleasant subjects.

And they are also unacquainted with [the meaning of] the passing away of the heaven and earth; but Paul was not ignorant of it when he declared, "For the figure of this world passeth away." In the next place, David explains their question, for he says that when the fashion of this world passes away, not only shall God remain, …
For Thy omnipotency is not far from us even when we are far from Thee, else in truth ought I more vigilantly to have given heed to the voice from the clouds: "Nevertheless, such shall have trouble in the flesh, but I spare you;" and, "It is good for a man not to touch a woman;" and, "He that is …

… to the monks also, except marriage; yea rather, even with respect to this, Paul commands us to put ourselves altogether on a level with them; saying, "For the fashion of this world passeth away:" that "they that have wives be as though they had none." "Wherefore" (so he speaks) "I do not bid you take possession of the summits of …
