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 Ѿло́жше ᲂу҆̀бо всѧ́кꙋ ѕло́бꙋ и҆ всѧ́кꙋ ле́сть и҆ лицемѣ́рїе и҆ за́висть и҆ всѧ̑ клевєты̀,
1 Putting away therefore all wickedness, all deceit, hypocrisies, envies, and all evil speaking,
2 ꙗ҆́кѡ новорожде́ни младе́нцы, слове́сное и҆ неле́стное млеко̀ возлюби́те, ꙗ҆́кѡ да ѡ҆ не́мъ возрасте́те во сп҃се́нїе:
2 as newborn babies, long for the pure spiritual milk, that with it you may grow,
3 поне́же вкꙋси́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ бл҃гъ гдⷭ҇ь.
3 if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious.
4 Къ немꙋ́же приходѧ́ще, ка́мени жи́вꙋ, ѿ человѣ̑къ ᲂу҆́бѡ ᲂу҆ничиже́нꙋ, ѿ бг҃а же и҆збра́нꙋ, чтⷭ҇нꙋ,
4 Come to him, a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God, precious.
5 и҆ са́ми ꙗ҆́кѡ ка́менїе жи́во зижди́тесѧ во хра́мъ дх҃о́венъ, ст҃и́тельство ст҃о, возноси́ти жє́ртвы дх҃ѡ́вны, бл҃гопрїѧ̑тны бг҃ови і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́мъ.
5 You also as living stones are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
6 Занѐ пи́сано є҆́сть въ писа́нїи: сѐ полага́ю въ сїѡ́нѣ ка́мень краеꙋго́ленъ, и҆збра́нъ, чтⷭ҇енъ: и҆ вѣ́рꙋѧй во́нь не постыди́тсѧ.
6 Because it is contained in Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, chosen and precious. He who believes in him will not be disappointed.”
7 Ва́мъ ᲂу҆̀бо че́сть вѣ́рꙋющымъ, а҆ проти́вѧщымсѧ ка́мень, є҆гѡ́же небрего́ша зи́ждꙋщїи, се́й бы́сть во главꙋ̀ ᲂу҆́гла, и҆ ка́мень претыка́нїѧ и҆ ка́мень собла́зна:
7 For you who believe therefore is the honor, but for those who are disobedient, “The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone,”
8 ѡ҆ не́мже и҆ претыка́ютсѧ сло́вꙋ противлѧ́ющїисѧ, на не́же и҆ положе́ни бы́ша.
8 and, “a stumbling stone and a rock of offense.” For they stumble at the word, being disobedient, to which also they were appointed.
9 Вы́ же ро́дъ и҆збра́нъ, ца́рское свѧще́нїе, ꙗ҆зы́къ ст҃ъ, лю́дїе ѡ҆бновле́нїѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да добродѣ́тєли возвѣститѐ и҆з̾ тьмы̀ ва́съ призва́вшагѡ въ чꙋ́дный сво́й свѣ́тъ:
9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
10 и҆̀же и҆ногда̀ не лю́дїе, нн҃ѣ же лю́дїе бж҃їи: и҆̀же не поми́ловани, нн҃ѣ же поми́ловани бы́сте.
10 In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
11 Возлю́бленнїи, молю̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ прише́льцєвъ и҆ стра́нникѡвъ, ѡ҆греба́тисѧ ѿ плотски́хъ похоте́й, ꙗ҆̀же вою́ютъ на дꙋ́шꙋ,
11 Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul,
12 житїѐ ва́ше и҆мꙋ́ще добро̀ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, да ѡ҆ не́мже клеве́щꙋтъ ва́съ а҆́ки ѕлодѣ́євъ, ѿ до́брыхъ дѣ́лъ ви́дѣвше, просла́вѧтъ бг҃а въ де́нь посѣще́нїѧ.
12 having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good works and glorify God in the day of visitation.
13 Повини́тесѧ ᲂу҆̀бо всѧ́комꙋ человѣ́чꙋ созда́нїю гдⷭ҇а ра́ди: а҆́ще царю̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ преѡблада́ющꙋ:
13 Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme,
14 а҆́ще ли же кнѧзє́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ негѡ̀ пѡ́сланнымъ, во ѿмще́нїе ᲂу҆́бѡ ѕлодѣ́ємъ, въ похвалꙋ́ же бл҃готво́рцємъ.
14 or to governors, as sent by him for vengeance on evildoers and for praise to those who do well.
15 Ꙗ҆́кѡ та́кѡ є҆́сть во́лѧ бж҃їѧ, благотворѧ́щымъ ѡ҆бꙋздова́ти безꙋ́мныхъ человѣ̑къ невѣ́жство:
15 For this is the will of God, that by well-doing you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
16 ꙗ҆́кѡ свобо́дни, а҆ не ꙗ҆́кѡ прикрове́нїе и҆мꙋ́ще ѕло́бы свобо́дꙋ, но ꙗ҆́кѡ рабѝ бж҃їи.
16 Live as free people, yet not using your freedom for a cloak of wickedness, but as bondservants of God.
17 Всѣ́хъ почита́йте, бра́тство возлюби́те, бг҃а бо́йтесѧ, царѧ̀ чти́те.
17 Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.
18 Рабѝ, повинꙋ́йтесѧ во всѧ́цѣмъ стра́сѣ влады́камъ, не то́кмѡ благи̑мъ и҆ крѡ́ткимъ, но и҆ стропти̑вымъ.
18 Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked.
19 Се́ бо є҆́сть ᲂу҆го́дно пред̾ бг҃омъ, а҆́ще со́вѣсти ра́ди бж҃їѧ терпи́тъ кто̀ скѡ́рби, стражда̀ без̾ пра́вды.
19 For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God.
20 Ка́ѧ бо похвала̀, а҆́ще согрѣша́юще мꙋ́чими терпитѐ; Но а҆́ще добро̀ творѧ́ще и҆ стра́ждꙋще терпитѐ, сїѐ ᲂу҆го́дно пред̾ бг҃омъ,
20 For what glory is it if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God.
21 на сїе́ бо и҆ зва́ни бы́сте: занѐ и҆ хрⷭ҇то́съ пострада̀ по на́съ, на́мъ ѡ҆ста́вль ѡ҆́бразъ, да послѣ́дꙋемъ стопа́мъ є҆гѡ̀:
21 For you were called to this, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving you an example, that you should follow his steps,
22 и҆́же грѣха̀ не сотворѝ, ни ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ ле́сть во ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ є҆гѡ̀:
22 who didn’t sin, “neither was deceit found in his mouth.”
23 и҆́же ᲂу҆корѧ́емь проти́вꙋ не ᲂу҆корѧ́ше, стражда̀ не преща́ше, предаѧ́ше же сꙋдѧ́щемꙋ првⷣнѡ:
23 When he was cursed, he didn’t curse back. When he suffered, he didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously.
24 и҆́же грѣхѝ на́шѧ са́мъ вознесѐ на тѣ́лѣ свое́мъ на дре́во, да ѿ грѣ̑хъ и҆збы́вше, пра́вдою поживе́мъ: є҆гѡ́же ꙗ҆́звою и҆сцѣлѣ́сте.
24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds.
25 Бѣ́сте бо ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆́вцы заблꙋ́ждшыѧ (не и҆мꙋ́щѧ па́стырѧ): но возврати́стесѧ нн҃ѣ къ па́стырю и҆ посѣти́телю дꙋ́шъ ва́шихъ.
25 For you were going astray like sheep; but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.

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).
Let us then continually persevere in our hope, and the earnest of our righteousness, which is Jesus Christ, "who bore our sins in His own body on the tree," "who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth," but endured all things for us, that we might live in Him.
And for this reason Peter says "that we have not liberty as a cloak of maliciousness," but as the means of testing and evidencing faith.
25. But you, "chosen generation, you weak things of the world," who have forsaken all things that you might "follow the Lord," go after Him, and "confound the things which are mighty;" go after Him, ye beautiful feet, and shine in the firmament, that the heavens may declare His glory, dividing between the light of the perfect, though not as …

He is called a Stone, not a lifeless stone, cut out by men's hands, but a chief corner-stone, on whom whosoever believeth shall not be put to shame.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 2, vol. 7 (1894)
When you can do good, defer it not, because "alms delivers from death." Be all of you subject one to another "having your conduct blameless among the Gentiles," that ye may both receive praise for your good works, and the Lord may not be blasphemed through you.
