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 Похвали́тисѧ же не по́льзꙋетъ мѝ: прїидꙋ́ бо въ видѣ̑нїѧ и҆ ѿкровє́нїѧ гдⷭ҇нѧ.
1 Καυχᾶσθαι δὴ οὐ συμφέρει μοι· ἐλεύσομαι γὰρ εἰς ὀπτασίας καὶ ἀποκαλύψεις Κυρίου.
2 Вѣ́мъ человѣ́ка ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀, пре́жде лѣ́тъ четырена́десѧти: а҆́ще въ тѣ́лѣ, не вѣ́мъ, а҆́ще ли кромѣ̀ тѣ́ла, не вѣ́мъ, бг҃ъ вѣ́сть: восхище́на бы́вша такова́го до тре́тїѧгѡ нб҃сѐ.
2 οἶδα ἄνθρωπον ἐν Χριστῷ πρὸ ἐτῶν δεκατεσσάρων· εἴτε ἐν σώματι οὐκ οἶδα, εἴτε ἐκτὸς τοῦ σώματος οὐκ οἶδα, ὁ Θεὸς οἶδεν· ἁρπαγέντα τὸν τοιοῦτον ἕως τρίτου οὐρανοῦ.
3 И҆ вѣ́мъ такова̀ человѣ́ка: а҆́ще въ тѣ́лѣ, и҆лѝ кромѣ̀ тѣ́ла, не вѣ́мъ: бг҃ъ вѣ́сть:
3 καὶ οἶδα τὸν τοιοῦτον ἄνθρωπον· εἴτε ἐν σώματι εἴτε ἐκτὸς τοῦ σώματος οὐκ οἶδα, ὁ Θεὸς οἶδεν·
4 ꙗ҆́кѡ восхище́нъ бы́сть въ ра́й, и҆ слы́ша неизречє́нны гл҃го́лы, и҆́хже не лѣ́ть є҆́сть человѣ́кꙋ глаго́лати.
4 ὅτι ἡρπάγη εἰς τὸν παράδεισον καὶ ἤκουσεν ἄρρητα ῥήματα, ἃ οὐκ ἐξὸν ἀνθρώπῳ λαλῆσαι.
5 Ѡ҆ таковѣ́мъ похвалю́сѧ: ѡ҆ себѣ́ же не похвалю́сѧ, то́кмѡ ѡ҆ не́мощехъ мои́хъ.
5 ὑπὲρ τοῦ τοιούτου καυχήσομαι, ὑπὲρ δὲ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐ καυχήσομαι εἰ μὴ ἐν ταῖς ἀσθενείαις μου.
6 А҆́ще бо восхощꙋ̀ похвали́тисѧ, не бꙋ́дꙋ безꙋ́менъ, и҆́стинꙋ бо рекꙋ̀: щаждꙋ́ же, да не (ка́кѡ) кто̀ вознепщꙋ́етъ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ па́че, є҆́же ви́дитъ мѧ̀, и҆лѝ слы́шитъ что̀ ѿ менє̀.
6 ἐὰν γὰρ θελήσω καυχήσασθαι, οὐκ ἔσομαι ἄφρων· ἀλήθειαν γὰρ ἐρῶ· φείδομαι δὲ μή τις εἰς ἐμὲ λογίσηται ὑπὲρ ὃ βλέπει με ἢ ἀκούει τι ἐξ ἐμοῦ.
7 И҆ за премнѡ́гаѧ ѿкровє́нїѧ да не превозношꙋ́сѧ, даде́сѧ мѝ па́костникъ пло́ти, а҆́ггелъ сатани́нъ, да мѝ па́кѡсти дѣ́етъ, да не превозношꙋ́сѧ.
7 Καὶ τῇ ὑπερβολῇ τῶν ἀποκαλύψεων ἵνα μὴ ὑπεραίρωμαι, ἐδόθη μοι σκόλοψ τῇ σαρκί, ἄγγελος σατᾶν, ἵνα με κολαφίζῃ ἵνα μὴ ὑπεραίρωμαι.
8 Ѡ҆ се́мъ трикра́ты гдⷭ҇а моли́хъ, да ѿстꙋ́питъ ѿ менє̀,
8 ὑπὲρ τούτου τρὶς τὸν Κύριον παρεκάλεσα ἵνα ἀποστῇ ἀπ᾽ ἐμοῦ·
9 и҆ рече́ ми: довлѣ́етъ тѝ блгⷣть моѧ̀: си́ла бо моѧ̀ въ не́мощи соверша́етсѧ. Сла́дцѣ ᲂу҆̀бо похвалю́сѧ па́че въ не́мощехъ мои́хъ, да всели́тсѧ въ мѧ̀ си́ла хрⷭ҇то́ва.
9 καὶ εἴρηκέ μοι· ἀρκεῖ σοι ἡ χάρις μου· ἡ γὰρ δύναμίς μου ἐν ἀσθενείᾳ τελειοῦται. ἥδιστα οὖν μᾶλλον καυχήσομαι ἐν ταῖς ἀσθενείαις μου, ἵνα ἐπισκηνώσῃ ἐπ᾽ ἐμὲ ἡ δύναμις τοῦ Χριστοῦ.
10 Тѣ́мже благоволю̀ въ не́мощехъ, въ досажде́нїихъ, въ бѣда́хъ, во и҆згна́нїихъ, въ тѣснота́хъ по хрⷭ҇тѣ̀: є҆гда́ бо немощствꙋ́ю, тогда̀ си́ленъ є҆́смь.
10 διὸ εὐδοκῶ ἐν ἀσθενείαις, ἐν ὕβρεσιν, ἐν ἀνάγκαις, ἐν διωγμοῖς, ἐν στενοχωρίαις, ὑπὲρ Χριστοῦ· ὅταν γὰρ ἀσθενῶ, τότε δυνατός εἰμι.
11 Бы́хъ несмы́сленъ хвалѧ́сѧ: вы̀ мѧ̀ понꙋ́дисте. А҆́зъ бо до́лженъ бѣ́хъ ѿ ва́съ хвали́мь быва́ти: ничи́мже бо лиши́хсѧ пе́рвѣйшихъ а҆пⷭ҇лъ, а҆́ще и҆ ничто́же є҆́смь:
11 Γέγονα ἄφρων καυχώμενος! ὑμεῖς με ἠναγκάσατε. ἐγὼ γὰρ ὤφειλον ὑφ᾽ ὑμῶν συνίστασθαι· οὐδὲν γὰρ ὑστέρησα τῶν ὑπερλίαν ἀποστόλων, εἰ καὶ οὐδέν εἰμι.
12 зна́мєнїѧ бо а҆пⷭ҇лѡва содѣ́ѧшасѧ въ ва́съ во всѧ́цѣмъ терпѣ́нїи, въ зна́менїихъ и҆ чꙋдесѣ́хъ и҆ си́лахъ.
12 τὰ μὲν σημεῖα τοῦ ἀποστόλου κατειργάσθη ἐν ὑμῖν ἐν πάσῃ ὑπομονῇ, ἐν σημείοις καὶ τέρασι καὶ δυνάμεσι.
13 Что́ бо є҆́сть, є҆гѡ́же лиши́стесѧ па́че про́чихъ цр҃кве́й, ра́звѣ то́чїю ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ са́мъ не стꙋжи́хъ ва́мъ; Дади́те мѝ непра́вдꙋ сїю̀.
13 τί γάρ ἐστιν ὃ ἡττήθητε ὑπὲρ τὰς λοιπὰς ἐκκλησίας, εἰ μὴ ὅτι αὐτὸς ἐγὼ οὐ κατενάρκησα ὑμῶν; χαρίσασθέ μοι τὴν ἀδικίαν ταύτην.
14 Сѐ тре́тїе гото́въ є҆́смь прїитѝ къ ва́мъ, и҆ не стꙋжꙋ̀ ва́мъ: не и҆щꙋ́ бо ва́шихъ, но ва́съ. Не дѡ́лжна бо сꙋ́ть ча̑да роди́телємъ сниска́ти и҆мѣ́нїѧ, но роди́телє ча́дѡмъ.
14 Ἰδοὺ τρίτον ἑτοίμως ἔχω ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ὑμᾶς, καὶ οὐ καταναρκήσω ὑμῶν· οὐ γὰρ ζητῶ τὰ ὑμῶν, ἀλλὰ ὑμᾶς. οὐ γὰρ ὀφείλει τὰ τέκνα τοῖς γονεῦσι θησαυρίζειν, ἀλλ᾽ οἱ γονεῖς τοῖς τέκνοις.
15 А҆́зъ же въ сла́дость и҆ждивꙋ̀ и҆ и҆ждиве́нъ бꙋ́дꙋ по дꙋша́хъ ва́шихъ, а҆́ще и҆ и҆зли́шше ва́съ любѧ̀, ме́ньше люби́мь є҆́смь.
15 ἐγὼ δὲ ἥδιστα δαπανήσω καὶ ἐκδαπανηθήσομαι ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶν, εἰ καὶ περισσοτέρως ὑμᾶς ἀγαπῶν ἧττον ἀγαπῶμαι.
16 Бꙋ́ди же, а҆́зъ не ѡ҆тѧгчи́хъ ва́съ, но кова́ренъ сы́й, ле́стїю ва́съ прїѧ́хъ.
16 Ἔστω δέ, ἐγὼ οὐ κατεβάρησα ὑμᾶς, ἀλλ᾽ ὑπάρχων πανοῦργος δόλῳ ὑμᾶς ἔλαβον.
17 Є҆да̀ ко́имъ ѿ по́сланныхъ къ ва́мъ лихои́мствовахъ ва́съ;
17 μή τινα ὧν ἀπέσταλκα πρὸς ὑμᾶς, δι᾽ αὐτοῦ ἐπλεονέκτησα ὑμᾶς;
18 Оу҆моли́хъ ті́та, и҆ съ ни́мъ посла́хъ бра́та: є҆да̀ лихои́мствова чи́мъ ва́съ ті́тъ; не тѣ́мже ли дꙋ́хомъ ходи́хома; не тѣ́миже ли стопа́ми;
18 παρεκάλεσα Τίτον καὶ συναπέστειλα τὸν ἀδελφόν· μήτι ἐπλεονέκτησεν ὑμᾶς Τίτος; οὐ τῷ αὐτῷ πνεύματι περιεπατήσαμεν; οὐ τοῖς αὐτοῖς ἴχνεσι;
19 Па́ки ли мнитѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿвѣ́тъ ва́мъ твори́мъ; Пред̾ бг҃омъ, ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ глаго́лемъ: всѧ̑ же, возлю́бленнїи, ѡ҆ ва́шемъ созида́нїи и҆ ᲂу҆твержде́нїи.
19 Πάλιν δοκεῖτε ὅτι ὑμῖν ἀπολογούμεθα; κατενώπιον τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν Χριστῷ λαλοῦμεν· τὰ δὲ πάντα, ἀγαπητοί, ὑπὲρ τῆς ὑμῶν οἰκοδομῆς.
20 Бою́сѧ же, є҆да̀ ка́кѡ прише́дъ, не ꙗ҆́цѣхъ же хощꙋ̀, ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋ ва́съ, и҆ а҆́зъ ѡ҆брѧ́щꙋсѧ ва́мъ, ꙗ҆кова́ же не хо́щете: да не ка́кѡ (бꙋ́дꙋтъ) рвє́нїѧ, за̑висти, ꙗ҆́рѡсти, рє́ти, клеветы̑, шепта́нїѧ, кичє́нїѧ, нестроє́нїѧ:
20 φοβοῦμαι γὰρ μήπως ἐλθὼν οὐχ οἵους θέλω εὕρω ὑμᾶς, κἀγὼ εὑρεθῶ ὑμῖν οἷον οὐ θέλετε, μήπως ἔρεις, ζῆλοι, θυμοί, ἐριθεῖαι, καταλαλιαί, ψιθυρισμοί, φυσιώσεις, ἀκαταστασίαι,
21 да не па́ки прише́дша мѧ̀ смири́тъ бг҃ъ мо́й ᲂу҆ ва́съ, и҆ воспла́чꙋсѧ мно́гихъ пре́жде согрѣ́шшихъ и҆ не пока́ѧвшихсѧ ѡ҆ нечистотѣ̀ и҆ блꙋже́нїи и҆ стꙋдоло́жствїи, ꙗ҆̀же содѣ́ѧша.
21 μὴ πάλιν ἐλθόντα με ταπεινώσῃ ὁ Θεός μου πρὸς ὑμᾶς καὶ πενθήσω πολλοὺς τῶν προημαρτηκότων καὶ μὴ μετανοησάντων ἐπὶ τῇ ἀκαθαρσίᾳ καὶ πορνείᾳ καὶ ἀσελγείᾳ ᾗ ἔπραξαν.

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).
What is this? Doth he who has spoken such great things say, [It is not expedient] "doubtless to glory?" as if he had said nothing?

For that there are spiritual creatures in the heavens, all the Scriptures loudly proclaim; and Paul expressly testifies that there are spiritual things when he declares that he was caught up into the third heaven, and again, that he was carried away to paradise, and heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
… ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God; and expressing not only his sorrow, but bitter lamentation over some who had formally sinned and had not repented of their uncleanness and fornications. If these emotions and affections, arising as they do from the love of what is …

… when in much danger and affliction, often besought God that the temptations might depart from him: nevertheless God regarded not his request, but his profit, and to signify this He said, "My grace is sufficient for thee, for my strength is made perfect in weakness." So that before He hath told him the reason, He benefits him against his will, …

For Peter was there, who carrieth the keys of heaven: and nothing wonderful, for Paul was there, who was caught up to the third heaven, and into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful far a man to utter.
