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 Сі́мѡнъ пе́тръ, ра́бъ и҆ посла́нникъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ, равночⷭ҇тнꙋю съ на́ми полꙋчи́вшими вѣ́рꙋ въ пра́вдѣ бг҃а на́шегѡ и҆ сп҃са і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀:
1 Συμεὼν Πέτρος, δοῦλος καὶ ἀπόστολος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, τοῖς ἰσότιμον ἡμῖν λαχοῦσι πίστιν ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ·
2 блгⷣть ва́мъ и҆ ми́ръ да ᲂу҆мно́житсѧ въ позна́нїи бг҃а, и҆ хрⷭ҇та̀ і҆и҃са гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ.
2 χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη πληθυνθείη ἐν ἐπιγνώσει τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ Ἰησοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν.
3 Ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ̑ на́мъ бжⷭ҇твенныѧ си́лы є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆̀же къ животꙋ̀ и҆ бл҃гоче́стїю, по́дана ра́зꙋмомъ призва́вшагѡ на́съ сла́вою и҆ добродѣ́телїю,
3 Ὡς πάντα ἡμῖν τῆς θείας δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ τὰ πρὸς ζωὴν καὶ εὐσέβειαν δεδωρημένης διὰ τῆς ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ καλέσαντος ἡμᾶς διὰ δόξης καὶ ἀρετῆς,
4 и҆́миже чтⷭ҇на̑ѧ на́мъ и҆ вели̑каѧ ѡ҆бѣтова̑нїѧ дарова́шасѧ, да си́хъ ра́ди бꙋ́дете бжⷭ҇твеннагѡ прича̑стницы є҆стества̀, ѿбѣ́гше, ꙗ҆́же въ мі́рѣ, по́хотныѧ тлѝ:
4 δι᾽ ὧν τὰ τίμια ἡμῖν καὶ μέγιστα ἐπαγγέλματα δεδώρηται, ἵνα διὰ τούτων γένησθε θείας κοινωνοὶ φύσεως ἀποφυγόντες τῆς ἐν κόσμῳ ἐν ἐπιθυμίᾳ φθορᾶς.
5 и҆ въ са́мое же сїѐ, тща́нїе всѐ привне́сше, подади́те въ вѣ́рѣ ва́шей добродѣ́тель, въ добродѣ́тели же ра́зꙋмъ,
5 καὶ αὐτὸ τοῦτο δὲ σπουδὴν πᾶσαν παρεισενέγκαντες ἐπιχορηγήσατε ἐν τῇ πίστει ὑμῶν τὴν ἀρετήν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ἀρετῇ τὴν γνῶσιν,
6 въ ра́зꙋмѣ же воздержа́нїе, въ воздержа́нїи же терпѣ́нїе, въ терпѣ́нїи же бл҃гоче́стїе,
6 ἐν δὲ τῇ γνώσει τὴν ἐγκράτειαν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐγκρατείᾳ τὴν ὑπομονήν, ἐν δὲ τῇ ὑπομονῇ τὴν εὐσέβειαν,
7 во бл҃гоче́стїи же братолю́бїе, въ братолю́бїи же любо́вь.
7 ἐν δὲ τῇ εὐσεβείᾳ τὴν φιλαδελφίαν, ἐν δὲ τῇ φιλαδελφίᾳ τὴν ἀγάπην.
8 Сїѧ̑ бо сꙋ̑щаѧ въ ва́съ и҆ мнѡ́жащаѧсѧ, не пра́здныхъ нижѐ безпло́дныхъ сотворѧ́тъ вы̀ въ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ позна́нїе:
8 ταῦτα γὰρ ὑμῖν ὑπάρχοντα καὶ πλεονάζοντα οὐκ ἀργοὺς οὐδὲ ἀκάρπους καθίστησιν εἰς τὴν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐπίγνωσιν·
9 є҆мꙋ́же бо нѣ́сть си́хъ, слѣ́пъ є҆́сть, мжа́й, забве́нїе прїе́мь ѡ҆чище́нїѧ дре́внихъ свои́хъ грѣхѡ́въ.
9 ᾧ γὰρ μὴ πάρεστι ταῦτα, τυφλός ἐστι, μυωπάζων, λήθην λαβὼν τοῦ καθαρισμοῦ τῶν πάλαι αὐτοῦ ἁμαρτιῶν.
10 Тѣ́мже па́че, бра́тїе, потщи́тесѧ и҆звѣ́стно ва́ше зва́нїе и҆ и҆збра́нїе твори́ти: сїѧ̑ бо творѧ́ще, не и҆́мате согрѣши́ти никогда́же,
10 διὸ μᾶλλον, ἀδελφοί, σπουδάσατε βεβαίαν ὑμῶν τὴν κλῆσιν καὶ ἐκλογὴν ποιεῖσθαι· ταῦτα γὰρ ποιοῦντες οὐ μὴ πταίσητέ ποτε.
11 си́це бо ѻ҆би́льнѡ припода́стсѧ ва́мъ вхо́дъ въ вѣ́чное црⷭ҇тво гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ и҆ сп҃са і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.
11 οὕτω γὰρ πλουσίως ἐπιχορηγηθήσεται ὑμῖν ἡ εἴσοδος εἰς τὴν αἰώνιον βασιλείαν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν καὶ σωτῆρος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
12 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди не ѡ҆блѣню́сѧ воспомина́ти прⷭ҇нѡ ва́мъ ѡ҆ си́хъ, а҆́ще и҆ вѣ́дите, и҆ ᲂу҆твержде́ни є҆стѐ въ настоѧ́щей и҆́стинѣ.
12 Διὸ οὐκ ἀμελήσω ἀεὶ ὑμᾶς ὑπομιμνήσκειν περὶ τούτων, καίπερ εἰδότας καὶ ἐστηριγμένους ἐν τῇ παρούσῃ ἀληθείᾳ.
13 Пра́ведно бо мню̀, доне́лѣже є҆́смь въ се́мъ тѣлесѝ, возставлѧ́ти ва́съ воспомина́нїемъ,
13 δίκαιον δὲ ἡγοῦμαι, ἐφ᾽ ὅσον εἰμὶ ἐν τούτῳ τῷ σκηνώματι, διεγείρειν ὑμᾶς ἐν ὑπομνήσει,
14 вѣ́дый, ꙗ҆́кѡ ско́рѡ є҆́сть ѿложе́нїе тѣлесѐ моегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ гдⷭ҇ь на́шъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́съ сказа̀ мнѣ̀.
14 εἰδὼς ὅτι ταχινή ἐστιν ἡ ἀπόθεσις τοῦ σκηνώματός μου, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Κύριος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦς Χριστὸς ἐδήλωσέ μοι.
15 Потщꙋ́сѧ же и҆ всегда̀ и҆мѣ́ти ва́съ по мое́мъ и҆схо́дѣ па́мѧть ѡ҆ си́хъ твори́ти.
15 σπουδάσω δὲ καὶ ἑκάστοτε ἔχειν ὑμᾶς μετὰ τὴν ἐμὴν ἔξοδον τὴν τούτων μνήμην ποιεῖσθαι.
16 Не ᲂу҆хищрє́ннымъ бо ба́снемъ послѣ́довавше сказа́хомъ ва́мъ си́лꙋ и҆ прише́ствїе гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, но самови́дцы бы́вше вели́чествїѧ ѻ҆́нагѡ.
16 Οὐ γὰρ σεσοφισμένοις μύθοις ἐξακολουθήσαντες ἐγνωρίσαμεν ὑμῖν τὴν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ δύναμιν καὶ παρουσίαν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπόπται γενηθέντες τῆς ἐκείνου μεγαλειότητος.
17 Прїе́мъ бо ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ че́сть и҆ сла́вꙋ, гла́сꙋ прише́дшꙋ къ немꙋ̀ ѿ велелѣ́пныѧ сла́вы: се́й є҆́сть сн҃ъ мо́й возлю́бленный, ѡ҆ не́мже а҆́зъ бл҃гоизво́лихъ.
17 λαβὼν γὰρ παρὰ Θεοῦ πατρὸς τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν φωνῆς ἐνεχθείσης αὐτῷ τοιᾶσδε ὑπὸ τῆς μεγαλοπρεποῦς δόξης, οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, εἰς ὃν ἐγὼ εὐδόκησα, —
18 И҆ се́й гла́съ мы̀ слы́шахомъ съ небесѐ сше́дшь, съ ни́мъ сꙋ́ще на горѣ̀ ст҃ѣ́й.
18 καὶ ταύτην τὴν φωνὴν ἡμεῖς ἠκούσαμεν ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐνεχθεῖσαν, σὺν αὐτῷ ὄντες ἐν τῷ ὄρει τῷ ἁγίῳ.
19 И҆ и҆́мамы и҆звѣ́стнѣйшее прⷪ҇ро́ческое сло́во: є҆мꙋ́же внима́юще ꙗ҆́коже свѣти́лꙋ сїѧ́ющꙋ въ те́мнѣмъ мѣ́стѣ, до́брѣ творитѐ, до́ндеже де́нь ѡ҆зари́тъ, и҆ денни́ца возсїѧ́етъ въ сердца́хъ ва́шихъ,
19 καὶ ἔχομεν βεβαιότερον τὸν προφητικὸν λόγον, ᾧ καλῶς ποιεῖτε προσέχοντες ὡς λύχνῳ φαίνοντι ἐν αὐχμηρῷ τόπῳ, ἕως οὗ ἡμέρα διαυγάσῃ καὶ φωσφόρος ἀνατείλῃ ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν,
20 сїѐ пре́жде вѣ́дꙋще, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́ко прⷪ҇ро́чество кни́жное по своемꙋ̀ сказа́нїю не быва́етъ.
20 τοῦτο πρῶτον γινώσκοντες, ὅτι πᾶσα προφητεία γραφῆς ἰδίας ἐπιλύσεως οὐ γίνεται.
21 Ни бо̀ во́лею бы́сть когда̀ человѣ́кѡмъ прⷪ҇ро́чество, но ѿ ст҃а́гѡ дх҃а просвѣща́еми глаго́лаша ст҃і́и бж҃їи человѣ́цы.
21 οὐ γὰρ θελήματι ἀνθρώπου ἠνέχθη ποτὲ προφητεία, ἀλλ᾽ ὑπὸ Πνεύματος Ἁγίου φερόμενοι ἐλάλησαν ἅγιοι Θεοῦ ἄνθρωποι.

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 Apostle Peter says, "We have a more sure word of prophecy, whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts."
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 6 (1888)
For thus we come to bear Christ in us, because His Body and Blood are distributed through our members; thus it is that, according to the blessed Peter, we become partakers of the divine nature.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 2, vol. 7 (1894)
Of this lamp the Apostle Peter says: "We have a more sure word of prophecy, to which ye do well giving heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts." Accordingly the prophets are lamps, and all prophecy one great lamp.

"We have," saith the Apostle Peter, "a more sure word of prophecy, to which ye do well to give heed, as to a lamp in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts."
