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 Вѣ́мы бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще земна́ѧ на́ша хра́мина тѣ́ла разори́тсѧ, созда́нїе ѿ бг҃а и҆́мамы, хра́минꙋ нерꙋкотворе́нꙋ, вѣ́чнꙋ на нб҃сѣ́хъ.
1 For we know that if the earthly house of our tent is dissolved, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens.
2 И҆́бо ѡ҆ се́мъ воздыха́емъ, въ жили́ще на́ше нбⷭ҇ное ѡ҆блещи́сѧ жела́юще:
2 For most certainly in this we groan, longing to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven,
3 а҆́ще то́чїю и҆ ѡ҆бле́кшесѧ, не на́зи ѡ҆брѧ́щемсѧ.
3 if indeed being clothed, we will not be found naked.
4 И҆́бо сꙋ́щїи въ тѣ́лѣ се́мъ воздыха́емъ ѡ҆тѧгча́еми, поне́же не хо́щемъ совлещи́сѧ, но поѡблещи́сѧ, да поже́рто бꙋ́детъ ме́ртвенное живото́мъ.
4 For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
5 Сотвори́вый же на́съ въ сїѐ и҆́стое бг҃ъ, и҆́же и҆ дадѐ на́мъ ѡ҆брꙋче́нїе дх҃а.
5 Now he who made us for this very thing is God, who also gave to us the down payment of the Spirit.
6 Дерза́юще ᲂу҆̀бо всегда̀ и҆ вѣ́дѧще, ꙗ҆́кѡ живꙋ́ще въ тѣ́лѣ ѿхо́димъ ѿ гдⷭ҇а:
6 Therefore we are always confident and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord;
7 вѣ́рою бо хо́димъ, а҆ не видѣ́нїемъ:
7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.
8 дерза́емъ же и҆ благоволи́мъ па́че ѿитѝ ѿ тѣ́ла и҆ вни́ти ко гдⷭ҇ꙋ:
8 We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
9 тѣ́мже и҆ тщи́мсѧ, а҆́ще входѧ́ще, а҆́ще ѿходѧ́ще, бл҃гоꙋго́дни є҆мꙋ̀ бы́ти:
9 Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him.
10 всѣ̑мъ бо ꙗ҆ви́тисѧ на́мъ подоба́етъ пред̾ сꙋди́щемъ хрⷭ҇то́вымъ, да прїи́метъ кі́йждо, ꙗ҆̀же съ тѣ́ломъ содѣ́ла, и҆лѝ бла̑га, и҆лѝ ѕла̑.
10 For we must all be revealed before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad.
11 Вѣ́дꙋще ᲂу҆̀бо стра́хъ гдⷭ҇ень, человѣ́ки ᲂу҆вѣщава́емъ, бг҃ови же ꙗ҆вле́ни є҆смы̀: ᲂу҆пова́емъ же, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ въ со́вѣстехъ ва́шихъ ꙗ҆вле́ни є҆смы̀.
11 Knowing therefore the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are revealed to God, and I hope that we are revealed also in your consciences.
12 Не па́ки бо себѐ хва́лимъ пред̾ ва́ми, но винꙋ̀ дае́мъ ва́мъ похвале́нїю ѡ҆ на́съ, да и҆́мате къ хвалѧ́щымсѧ въ лицы̀, а҆ не въ се́рдцы.
12 For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance and not in heart.
13 А҆́ще бо и҆зꙋми́хомсѧ, бг҃ови: а҆́ще ли цѣломꙋ́дрствꙋемъ, ва́мъ.
13 For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God. Or if we are of sober mind, it is for you.
14 И҆́бо любы̀ бж҃їѧ ѡ҆бдержи́тъ на́съ сꙋ́ждшихъ сїѐ: ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́ще є҆ди́нъ за всѣ́хъ ᲂу҆́мре, то ᲂу҆́бѡ всѝ ᲂу҆мро́ша.
14 For the love of Christ compels us; because we judge thus: that one died for all, therefore all died.
15 Хрⷭ҇то́съ же за всѣ́хъ ᲂу҆́мре, да живꙋ́щїи не ктомꙋ̀ себѣ̀ живꙋ́тъ, но ᲂу҆ме́ршемꙋ за ни́хъ и҆ воскрⷭ҇шемꙋ.
15 He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.
16 Тѣ́мже и҆ мы̀ ѿнн҃ѣ ни є҆ди́нагѡ вѣ́мы по пло́ти: а҆́ще же и҆ разꙋмѣ́хомъ по пло́ти хрⷭ҇та̀, но нн҃ѣ ктомꙋ̀ не разꙋмѣ́емъ.
16 Therefore we know no one according to the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.
17 Тѣ́мже а҆́ще кто̀ во хрⷭ҇тѣ̀, нова̀ тва́рь: дрє́внѧѧ мимоидо́ша, сѐ бы́ша всѧ̑ нѡва̀.
17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.
18 Всѧ́чєскаѧ же ѿ бг҃а, примири́вшагѡ на́съ себѣ̀ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́мъ и҆ да́вшагѡ на́мъ слꙋже́нїе примире́нїѧ:
18 But all things are of God, who reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 занѐ бг҃ъ бѣ̀ во хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ мі́ръ примирѧ́ѧ себѣ̀, не вмѣнѧ́ѧ и҆̀мъ согрѣше́нїй и҆́хъ и҆ положи́въ въ на́съ сло́во примире́нїѧ.
19 namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself, not reckoning to them their trespasses, and having committed to us the word of reconciliation.
20 По хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ ᲂу҆̀бо мо́лимъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ꙋ молѧ́щꙋ на́ми, мо́лимъ по хрⷭ҇тѣ̀: примири́тесѧ съ бг҃омъ.
20 We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
21 Не вѣ́дѣвшаго бо грѣха̀ по на́съ грѣ́хъ сотворѝ, да мы̀ бꙋ́демъ пра́вда бж҃їѧ ѡ҆ не́мъ.
21 For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

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).
Again he arouses their zeal because many trials drew on. For it was likely that they, in consequence of his absence, were weaker in respect to this [need]. What then saith he? One ought not to wonder that we suffer affliction; nor to be confounded, for we even reap many gains thereby.

If then we entreat the Lord to forgive us, we ought also ourselves to forgive; for we are before the eyes of our Lord and God, and "we must all appear at the judgment-seat of Christ, and must every one give an account of himself." Let us then serve Him in fear, and with all reverence, even as He Himself …
… adorned with works of righteousness, so that the Spirit of God may rest upon us; for this is the wedding garment, of which also the apostle speaks, "Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up by immortality." But those who have indeed been called to God's supper, yet have not received the …
Those pages contain not the expression of this piety,--the tears of confession, Thy sacrifice, a troubled spirit, "a broken and a contrite heart," the salvation of the people, the espoused city, the earnest of the Holy Ghost, the cup of our redemption.

… merely, "If he hath ought against thee." For though it be justly, not even in that case oughtest thou to protract the enmity; since Christ also was justly angered with us, yet nevertheless He gave Himself for us to be slain, "not imputing those trespasses." For this cause Paul also, when urging us in another way to reconciliation, said, "Let …
