1 Са́мъ же а҆́зъ па́ѵелъ молю́ вы кро́тостїю и҆ ти́хостїю хрⷭ҇то́вою, и҆́же въ лицѐ ᲂу҆́бѡ смире́нъ въ ва́съ, не сы́й же ᲂу҆ ва́съ дерза́ю въ ва́съ. 2 Молю́ же, да не присꙋ́щь дерза́ю надѣ́ѧнїемъ, и҆́мже помышлѧ́ю смѣ́ти на нѣ̑кїѧ непщꙋ́ющыѧ на́съ ꙗ҆́кѡ по пло́ти ходѧ́щихъ. 3 Во пло́ти бо ходѧ́ще, не по пло́ти во́инствꙋемъ: 4 ѻ҆рꙋ̑жїѧ бо во́инства на́шегѡ не плотска̑ѧ, но си̑льна бг҃омъ на разоре́нїе тве́рдємъ: помышлє́нїѧ низлага́юще, 5 и҆ всѧ́ко возноше́нїе взима́ющеесѧ на ра́зꙋмъ бж҃їй, и҆ плѣнѧ́юще всѧ́къ ра́зꙋмъ въ послꙋша́нїе хрⷭ҇то́во, 6 и҆ въ гото́вости и҆мꙋ́ще ѿмсти́ти всѧ́ко преслꙋша́нїе, є҆гда̀ и҆спо́лнитсѧ ва́ше послꙋша́нїе. 7 Ꙗ҆̀же ли пред̾ лице́мъ, зритѐ; А҆́ще кто̀ надѣ́етсѧ себѐ хрⷭ҇то́ва бы́ти, да помышлѧ́етъ па́ки ѿ себє̀, занѐ, ꙗ҆́коже ѻ҆́нъ хрⷭ҇то́въ, та́кожде и҆ мы̀ хрⷭ҇тѡ́вы. 8 А҆́ще бо и҆ ли́шше что̀ похвалю́сѧ ѡ҆ вла́сти на́шей, ю҆́же дадѐ на́мъ гдⷭ҇ь въ созда́нїе, а҆ не на разоре́нїе ва́ше, не постыжꙋ́сѧ. 9 (Но) да не ꙗ҆влю́сѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ страшѧ̀ ва́съ посла́ньми. 10 Ꙗ҆́кѡ посла̑нїѧ ᲂу҆́бѡ, речѐ, тѧ̑жка и҆ крѣ̑пка, а҆ прише́ствїе тѣ́ла не́мощно, и҆ сло́во ᲂу҆ничиже́нно: 11 сїѐ да помышлѧ́етъ таковы́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ ꙗ҆́цы же є҆смы̀ сло́вомъ посла́нїй, ѿстоѧ́ще, такові́и и҆ тꙋ̀ сꙋ́ще є҆смы̀ дѣ́ломъ. 12 Не смѣ́емъ бо сꙋди́ти, и҆лѝ прикла́довати себѐ и҆ны̑мъ хва́лѧщымъ себѐ самѣ́хъ: но са́ми въ себѣ̀ себѐ и҆змѣрѧ́юще, и҆ прилага́юще себѐ сами̑мъ себѣ̀, не разꙋмѣва́ютъ. 13 Мы́ же не въ безмѣ̑рнаѧ похва́лимсѧ, но по мѣ́рѣ пра́вила, є҆го́же раздѣлѝ на́мъ бг҃ъ мѣ́рꙋ, достиза́ти да́же и҆ до ва́съ. 14 Не ꙗ҆́кѡ бо не досѧ́жꙋще до ва́съ, па́че простира́емъ себѐ, да́же бо и҆ до ва́съ достиго́хомъ бл҃говѣ́стїемъ хрⷭ҇то́вымъ: 15 не въ безмѣ̑рнаѧ хва́лѧщесѧ въ чꙋжди́хъ трꙋдѣ́хъ, ᲂу҆пова́нїе же и҆мꙋ́ще, растꙋ́щей вѣ́рѣ ва́шей, въ ва́съ велича́тисѧ по пра́вилꙋ на́шемꙋ и҆з̾ѻби́льнѡ, 16 во є҆́же и҆ въ да́льшихъ ва́съ (страна́хъ) благовѣсти́ти, не чꙋжи́мъ пра́виломъ въ гото́выхъ похвали́тисѧ. 17 Хвалѧ́йсѧ же, ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ да хва́литсѧ: 18 не хвалѧ́й бо себѐ се́й и҆скꙋ́сенъ, но є҆го́же бг҃ъ восхвалѧ́етъ.

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.

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 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 …

For this He declared by saying "Till He send forth judgment unto victory: and in His name shall the Gentiles trust." As Paul likewise saith, "Having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled." But what is, "when He sends forth judgment unto victory?" When He hath fulfilled all His own part, then, we are told, …

So that saying of the apostle comes true of them, for, "comparing themselves with themselves, they do not understand." For because they do, in virtue of a new purpose, whatever new thing has occurred to them to be done (their minds being changeable), they conclude it is so with God; and thus compare, not God,--for they cannot conceive God, but …
