1 Трети́цею сѐ грѧдꙋ̀ къ ва́мъ: при ᲂу҆стѣ́хъ двою̀ и҆лѝ трїе́хъ свидѣ́телей ста́нетъ всѧ́къ глаго́лъ. 2 Пре́жде рѣ́хъ и҆ предглаго́лю, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆ ва́съ бы́въ второ́е, и҆ ѿсꙋ́тствꙋѧ нн҃ѣ пишꙋ̀ пре́жде согрѣши́вшымъ и҆ про́чымъ всѣ̑мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще прїидꙋ̀ па́ки, не пощаждꙋ̀: 3 поне́же и҆скꙋше́нїѧ и҆́щете гл҃ющагѡ во мнѣ̀ хрⷭ҇та̀, и҆́же въ ва́съ не и҆знемога́етъ, но мо́жетъ въ ва́съ: 4 и҆́бо а҆́ще и҆ ра́спѧтъ бы́сть ѿ не́мощи, но жи́въ є҆́сть ѿ си́лы бж҃їѧ: и҆́бо и҆ мы̀ немощствꙋ́емъ въ не́мъ, но жи́ви бꙋ́демъ съ ни́мъ ѿ си́лы бж҃їѧ въ ва́съ. 5 Себѐ и҆скꙋша́йте, а҆́ще є҆стѐ въ вѣ́рѣ: себѐ и҆скꙋша́йте. И҆лѝ не зна́ете себѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́съ въ ва́съ є҆́сть; Ра́звѣ то́чїю чи́мъ неискꙋ́сни є҆стѐ. 6 Оу҆пова́ю же, ꙗ҆́кѡ разꙋмѣ́ти и҆́мате, ꙗ҆́кѡ мы̀ нѣ́смы неискꙋ́сни. 7 Мо́лимсѧ же къ бг҃ꙋ, не сотвори́ти ва́мъ ни є҆ди́нагѡ ѕла̀, не ꙗ҆́кѡ да мы̀ и҆скꙋ́сни ꙗ҆ви́мсѧ, но да вы̀ до́брое сотворитѐ, мы́ же ꙗ҆́кѡ неискꙋ́сни бꙋ́демъ. 8 Ничто́же бо мо́жемъ на и҆́стинꙋ, но по и҆́стинѣ. 9 Ра́дꙋемсѧ бо, є҆гда̀ мы̀ немощствꙋ́емъ, вы́ же си́льни быва́ете: ѡ҆ се́мъ же и҆ мо́лимсѧ, ѡ҆ ва́шемъ соверше́нїи. 10 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди не сы́й ᲂу҆ ва́съ сїѧ̑ пишꙋ̀, да не прише́дъ безща́днѡ сотворю̀ по вла́сти, ю҆́же гдⷭ҇ь да́лъ мѝ є҆́сть въ созда́нїе, а҆ не на разоре́нїе. 11 Про́чее же, бра́тїе, ра́дꙋйтесѧ, соверша́йтесѧ, ᲂу҆тѣша́йтесѧ, то́жде мꙋ́дрствꙋйте, ми́ръ и҆мѣ́йте. И҆ бг҃ъ любвѐ и҆ ми́ра бꙋ́детъ съ ва́ми. 12 Цѣлꙋ́йте дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га лобза́нїемъ ст҃ы́мъ. Цѣлꙋ́ютъ вы̀ ст҃і́и всѝ. 13 Блгⷣть гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, и҆ любы̀ бг҃а и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀, и҆ ѻ҆бще́нїе ст҃а́гѡ дх҃а со всѣ́ми ва́ми. А҆ми́нь.

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).
The wisdom of Paul and his much tender affection, one may observe in many other circumstances, but especially in this, his being so abundant and vehement in his admonitions, but so tardy and procrastinating in his punishments.

… say, from the race of Israel, He has assumed flesh and blood that He might suffer; "and he was drunken," that is, He suffered; "and was naked," that is, His weakness appeared in His suffering, as the apostle says, "though He was crucified through weakness."

So Paul speaks in Christ, saying "In the sight of God we speak in Christ," and Christ in Paul, as he himself says "Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me." So also in the Spirit he speaketh mysteries, and again the Spirit speaks in him.

For He did not speak in contradiction to His Apostle, seeing that He Himself spoke "in" him also, as he says, "Would ye receive a proof of Christ, who speaketh in me?" Christ in the Gospel, Christ in the Apostle: Christ therefore spake both; one by His own Mouth, the other by the mouth of His herald.
