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 Па́ѵелъ, посла́нникъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ во́лею бж҃їею, и҆ тїмоѳе́й бра́тъ, цр҃кви бж҃їей сꙋ́щей въ корі́нѳѣ, со ст҃ы́ми всѣ́ми сꙋ́щими во все́й а҆ха́їи:
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother, to the assembly of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in the whole of Achaia:
2 блгⷣть ва́мъ и҆ ми́ръ ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ на́шегѡ, и҆ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Блгⷭ҇ве́нъ бг҃ъ и҆ ѻ҆ц҃ъ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, ѻ҆ц҃ъ щедро́тъ и҆ бг҃ъ всѧ́кїѧ ᲂу҆тѣ́хи,
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
4 ᲂу҆тѣша́ѧй на́съ ѡ҆ всѧ́цѣй ско́рби на́шей, ꙗ҆́кѡ возмощѝ на́мъ ᲂу҆тѣ́шити сꙋ́щыѧ во всѧ́цѣй ско́рби, ᲂу҆тѣше́нїемъ, и҆́мже ᲂу҆тѣша́емсѧ са́ми ѿ бг҃а.
4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
5 Занѐ ꙗ҆́коже и҆збы́точествꙋютъ страда̑нїѧ хрⷭ҇тѡ́ва въ на́съ, та́кѡ хрⷭ҇то́мъ и҆збы́точествꙋетъ и҆ ᲂу҆тѣше́нїе на́ше.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound to us, even so our comfort also abounds through Christ.
6 А҆́ще ли же скорби́мъ, ѡ҆ ва́шемъ ᲂу҆тѣше́нїи и҆ спⷭ҇нїи, дѣ́йствꙋющемсѧ въ терпѣ́нїи тѣ́хже страда́нїй, ꙗ҆̀же и҆ мы̀ стра́ждемъ:
6 But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation. If we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer.
7 и҆ ᲂу҆пова́нїе на́ше и҆звѣ́стно ѡ҆ ва́съ. А҆́ще ли ᲂу҆тѣша́емсѧ, ѡ҆ ва́шемъ ᲂу҆тѣше́нїи и҆ спⷭ҇нїи, вѣ́дѧще, занѐ ꙗ҆́коже ѡ҆́бщницы є҆стѐ страсте́мъ на́шымъ, та́кожде и҆ ᲂу҆тѣше́нїю.
7 Our hope for you is steadfast, knowing that, since you are partakers of the sufferings, so you are also of the comfort.
8 Не бо̀ хо́щемъ ва́съ, бра́тїе, не вѣ́дѣти ѡ҆ ско́рби на́шей бы́вшей на́мъ во а҆сі́и, ꙗ҆́кѡ по премно́гꙋ (и҆) па́че си́лы ѡ҆тѧготи́хомсѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не надѣ́ѧтисѧ на́мъ и҆ жи́ти.
8 For we don’t desire to have you uninformed, brothers, concerning our affliction which happened to us in Asia: that we were weighed down exceedingly, beyond our power, so much that we despaired even of life.
9 Но са́ми въ себѣ̀ ѡ҆сꙋжде́нїе сме́рти и҆мѣ́хомъ, да не надѣ́ющесѧ бꙋ́демъ на сѧ̀, но на бг҃а возставлѧ́ющаго мє́ртвыѧ,
9 Yes, we ourselves have had the sentence of death within ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead,
10 и҆́же ѿ толи́кїѧ сме́рти и҆зба́вилъ ны̀ є҆́сть и҆ и҆збавлѧ́етъ, на́ньже и҆ ᲂу҆пова́хомъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ є҆щѐ и҆зба́витъ,
10 who delivered us out of so great a death, and does deliver, on whom we have set our hope that he will also still deliver us,
11 споспѣшествꙋ́ющымъ и҆ ва́мъ по на́съ моли́твою, да ѿ мно́гихъ ли́цъ, є҆́же въ на́съ дарова́нїе, мно́гими благодари́тсѧ ѡ҆ ва́съ.
11 you also helping together on our behalf by your supplication; that, for the gift given to us by means of many, thanks may be given by many persons on your behalf.
12 Похвале́нїе бо на́ше сїѐ є҆́сть, свидѣ́тельство со́вѣсти на́шеѧ, ꙗ҆́кѡ въ простотѣ̀ и҆ чтⷭ҇отѣ̀ бж҃їей, (а҆) не въ мꙋ́дрости пло́ти, но блгⷣтїю бж҃їею жи́хомъ въ мі́рѣ, мно́жае же ᲂу҆ ва́съ.
12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.
13 Не и҆на̑ѧ бо пи́шемъ ва́мъ, но ꙗ҆̀же чтетѐ и҆ разꙋмѣва́ете: ᲂу҆пова́ю же, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ до конца̀ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ете,
13 For we write no other things to you than what you read or even acknowledge, and I hope you will acknowledge to the end—
14 ꙗ҆́коже и҆ разꙋмѣ́сте на́съ ѿ ча́сти, ꙗ҆́кѡ похвале́нїе ва́мъ є҆смы̀, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ вы̀ на́мъ, въ де́нь гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.
14 as also you acknowledged us in part—that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 И҆ си́мъ ᲂу҆пова́нїемъ хотѣ́хъ къ ва́мъ прїитѝ пре́жде, да вторꙋ́ю блгⷣть и҆́мате,
15 In this confidence, I was determined to come first to you, that you might have a second benefit,
16 и҆ ва́ми проитѝ въ македо́нїю, и҆ па́ки ѿ македо́нїи прїитѝ къ ва́мъ, и҆ ва́ми проводи́тисѧ во і҆ꙋде́ю.
16 and by you to pass into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and to be sent forward by you on my journey to Judea.
17 Сїе́ же хотѧ̀, є҆да̀ что̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ легкото́ю дѣ́ѧхъ; И҆лѝ ꙗ҆̀же совѣщава́ю, по пло́ти совѣщава́ю, да бꙋ́детъ ᲂу҆ менє̀ є҆́же є҆́й, є҆́й, и҆ є҆́же нѝ, нѝ.
17 When I therefore planned this, did I show fickleness? Or the things that I plan, do I plan according to the flesh, that with me there should be the “Yes, yes” and the “No, no?”
18 Вѣ́ренъ же бг҃ъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сло́во на́ше, є҆́же къ ва́мъ, не бы́сть є҆́й и҆ нѝ.
18 But as God is faithful, our word toward you was not “Yes and no.”
19 И҆́бо бж҃їй сн҃ъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́съ, и҆́же ᲂу҆ ва́съ на́ми проповѣ́данный, мно́ю и҆ сїлꙋа́номъ и҆ тїмоѳе́емъ, не бы́сть є҆́й и҆ нѝ, но въ не́мъ самѣ́мъ є҆́й бы́сть:
19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, Silvanus, and Timothy—was not “Yes and no,” but in him is “Yes.”
20 є҆ли̑ка бо ѡ҆бѣтѡва́нїѧ бж҃їѧ, въ то́мъ є҆́й и҆ въ то́мъ а҆ми́нь: бг҃ꙋ къ сла́вѣ на́ми.
20 For however many are the promises of God, in him is the “Yes.” Therefore also through him is the “Amen”, to the glory of God through us.
21 И҆звѣствꙋ́ѧй же на́съ съ ва́ми во хрⷭ҇та̀ и҆ пома́завый на́съ, бг҃ъ,
21 Now he who establishes us with you in Christ and anointed us is God,
22 и҆́же и҆ запечатлѣ̀ на́съ, и҆ дадѐ ѡ҆брꙋче́нїе дх҃а въ сердца̀ на̑ша.
22 who also sealed us and gave us the down payment of the Spirit in our hearts.
23 А҆́зъ же свидѣ́телѧ бг҃а призыва́ю на мою̀ дꙋ́шꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ щадѧ̀ ва́съ, ктомꙋ̀ не прїидо́хъ въ корі́нѳъ,
23 But I call God for a witness to my soul, that to spare you, I didn’t come to Corinth.
24 не ꙗ҆́кѡ ѡ҆блада́емъ вѣ́рою ва́шею, но (ꙗ҆́кѡ) споспѣ̑шницы є҆смы̀ ва́шей ра́дости: вѣ́рою бо стоитѐ.
24 We don’t control your faith, but are fellow workers with you for your joy. For you stand firm in faith.

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).
It is meet to enquire, first, why to the former Epistle he adds a second: and what can be his reason for thus beginning with the mercies and consolation of God. Why then does he add a second Epistle?

For it is no small fruit, O Lord my God, that by many thanks should be given to Thee on our behalf, and that by many Thou shouldest be entreated for us.

Wherefore Paul also said, "I would not, brethren, have you ignorant, that we were pressed out of measure beyond strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life;" and after this again, "Who delivered us from so great deaths." Signifying therefore hereby, that they ought to be confident, though the waves rise high, and that He orders all things for good, …

Put off, by confession, the old man, which waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit, that ye may put on the new man, which is renewed according to knowledge of Him that created him. Get you the earnest of the Holy Spirit through faith, that ye may be able to be received into the everlasting habitations.

How then is it possible to conceive that the judgment is accomplished without the Holy Spirit, wherein the word points out that He is Himself the prize of the righteous, when instead of the earnest is given that which is perfect, and the first condemnation of sinners, when they are deprived of that which they seem to have?
