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 Дх҃ъ же ꙗ҆́вственнѣ гл҃етъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ послѣ̑днѧѧ времена̀ ѿстꙋ́пѧтъ нѣ́цыи ѿ вѣ́ры, вне́млюще дꙋховѡ́мъ ле́стчымъ и҆ ᲂу҆че́нїємъ бѣсѡ́вскимъ,
1 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons,
2 въ лицемѣ́рїи лжесловє́сникъ, сожже́нныхъ свое́ю со́вѣстїю,
2 through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron,
3 возбранѧ́ющихъ жени́тисѧ, ᲂу҆далѧ́тисѧ ѿ бра́шенъ, ꙗ҆̀же бг҃ъ сотворѝ въ снѣде́нїе со благодаре́нїемъ вѣ̑рнымъ и҆ позна́вшымъ и҆́стинꙋ.
3 forbidding marriage and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
4 Занѐ всѧ́кое созда́нїе бж҃їе добро̀, и҆ ничто́же ѿме́тно, со благодаре́нїемъ прїе́млемо,
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving.
5 ѡ҆сщ҃а́етсѧ бо сло́вомъ бж҃їимъ и҆ моли́твою.
5 For it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer.
6 Сїѧ̑ всѧ̑ сказꙋ́ѧ бра́тїи, до́бръ бꙋ́деши слꙋжи́тель і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, пита́емь словесы̀ вѣ́ры и҆ до́брымъ ᲂу҆че́нїемъ, є҆мꙋ́же послѣ́довалъ є҆сѝ.
6 If you instruct the brothers of these things, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished in the words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have followed.
7 Скве́рныхъ же и҆ ба́бїихъ ба́сней ѿрица́йсѧ, ѡ҆бꙋча́й же себѐ ко бл҃гочⷭ҇тїю:
7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables. Exercise yourself toward godliness.
8 тѣле́сное бо ѡ҆бꙋче́нїе вма́лѣ є҆́сть поле́зно, а҆ бл҃гочⷭ҇тїе на всѐ поле́зно є҆́сть, ѡ҆бѣтова́нїе и҆мѣ́ющее живота̀ нн҃ѣшнѧгѡ и҆ грѧдꙋ́щагѡ.
8 For bodily exercise has some value, but godliness has value in all things, having the promise of the life which is now and of that which is to come.
9 Вѣ́рно сло́во и҆ всѧ́кагѡ прїѧ́тїѧ досто́йно.
9 This saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance.
10 На сїе́ бо и҆ трꙋжда́емсѧ и҆ поноша́еми є҆смы̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆пова́хомъ на бг҃а жи́ва, и҆́же є҆́сть сп҃си́тель всѣ̑мъ человѣ́кѡмъ, па́че же вѣ̑рнымъ.
10 For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we have set our trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.
11 Завѣщава́й сїѧ̑ и҆ ᲂу҆чѝ.
11 Command and teach these things.
12 Никто́же ѡ҆ ю҆́ности твое́й да неради́тъ: но ѡ҆́бразъ бꙋ́ди вѣ̑рнымъ сло́вомъ, житїе́мъ, любо́вїю, дꙋ́хомъ, вѣ́рою, чтⷭ҇ото́ю.
12 Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity.
13 До́ндеже прїидꙋ̀, внемлѝ чте́нїю, ᲂу҆тѣше́нїю, ᲂу҆че́нїю.
13 Until I come, pay attention to reading, to exhortation, and to teaching.
14 Не нерадѝ ѡ҆ свое́мъ дарова́нїи живꙋ́щемъ въ тебѣ̀, є҆́же дано̀ тебѣ̀ бы́сть прⷪ҇ро́чествомъ съ возложе́нїемъ рꙋ́къ свѧще́нничества.
14 Don’t neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the elders.
15 Въ си́хъ поꙋча́йсѧ, въ си́хъ пребыва́й, (въ си́хъ разꙋмѣва́й,) да преспѣ́ѧнїе твоѐ ꙗ҆вле́но бꙋ́детъ во всѣ́хъ.
15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
16 Внима́й себѣ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆че́нїю и҆ пребыва́й въ ни́хъ: сїѧ̑ бо творѧ̀, и҆ са́мъ спасе́шисѧ и҆ послꙋ́шающїи тебє̀.
16 Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

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).
As those who adhere to the faith are fixed on a safe anchor, so those who fall from the faith can nowhere rest; but after many wanderings to and fro, they are borne at last into the very gulf of perdition.

Thou hast taught me, good Father, that "unto the pure all things are pure;" but "it is evil for that man who eateth with offence;" "and that every creature of Thine is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with, thanksgiving;" and that "meat commendeth us not to God;" and that no man should "judge us in …

… neither condemn the men as sinners, nor abhor the flesh as strange food; for the Apostle knows some of this sort, when he says: forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by them that believe.

In the First Epistle to Timothy do we not read: "These things command and teach?" What these things are, has been told previously.

And that the Holy Ghost subsists, and lives, and speaks, and foretells, I have often said in what goes before, and Paul writes it plainly to Timothy: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in later times some shall depart from the faith,--which we see in the divisions not only of former times but also of our own; so motley …
