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 Ста́рецъ га́їеви возлю́бленномꙋ, є҆го́же а҆́зъ люблю̀ вои́стиннꙋ.
1 The elder to Gaius the beloved, whom I love in truth.
1 Ὁ πρεσβύτερος Γαΐῳ τῷ ἀγαπητῷ, ὃν ἐγὼ ἀγαπῶ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ.
2 Возлю́бленне, во всѣ́хъ молю́сѧ (ѡ҆ тебѣ̀) благоспѣ́ѧтисѧ тебѣ̀ и҆ здра́вствовати, ꙗ҆́коже благоспѣ́етсѧ тебѣ̀ дꙋша̀.
2 Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers.
2 Ἀγαπητέ, περὶ πάντων εὔχομαί σε εὐοδοῦσθαι καὶ ὑγιαίνειν, καθὼς εὐοδοῦταί σου ἡ ψυχή.
3 Возра́довахсѧ ѕѣлѡ̀, прише́дшымъ бра́тїѧмъ и҆ свидѣ́тельствꙋющымъ твою̀ и҆́стинꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже ты̀ во и҆́стинѣ хо́диши.
3 For I rejoiced greatly when brothers came and testified about your truth, even as you walk in truth.
3 ἐχάρην γὰρ λίαν ἐρχομένων ἀδελφῶν καὶ μαρτυρούντων σου τῇ ἀληθείᾳ, καθὼς σὺ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ περιπατεῖς.
4 Бо́льши сеѧ̀ не и҆́мамъ ра́дости, да слы́шꙋ моѧ̑ ча̑да во и҆́стинѣ ходѧ̑ща.
4 I have no greater joy than this: to hear about my children walking in truth.
4 μειζοτέραν τούτων οὐκ ἔχω χαράν, ἵνα ἀκούω τὰ ἐμὰ τέκνα ἐν ἀληθείᾳ περιπατοῦντα.
5 Возлю́бленне, вѣ́рнѡ твори́ши, є҆́же а҆́ще дѣ́лаеши въ бра́тїю и҆ въ стра̑нныѧ,
5 Beloved, you do a faithful work in whatever you accomplish for those who are brothers and strangers.
5 Ἀγαπητέ, πιστὸν ποιεῖς ὃ ἐὰν ἐργάσῃ εἰς τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ εἰς τοὺς ξένους,
6 и҆̀же свидѣ́тельствоваша ѡ҆ твое́й любвѝ пред̾ цр҃ковїю: и҆̀хже предпосла́въ досто́йнѡ бг҃ꙋ, до́брѣ твори́ши,
6 They have testified about your love before the assembly. You will do well to send them forward on their journey in a way worthy of God,
6 οἳ ἐμαρτύρησάν σου τῇ ἀγάπῃ ἐνώπιον ἐκκλησίας, οὓς καλῶς ποιήσεις προπέμψας ἀξίως τοῦ Θεοῦ.
7 ѡ҆ и҆́мени бо є҆гѡ̀ и҆зыдо́ша, ничто́же прїе́млюще ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ.
7 because for the sake of the Name they went out, taking nothing from the Gentiles.
7 ὑπὲρ γὰρ τοῦ ὀνόματος ἐξῆλθον, μηδὲν λαμβάνοντες ἀπὸ τῶν ἐθνικῶν.
8 Мы̀ ᲂу҆̀бо до́лжни є҆смы̀ прїима́ти таковы́хъ, да поспѣ̑шницы бꙋ́демъ и҆́стинѣ.
8 We therefore ought to receive such, that we may be fellow workers for the truth.
8 ἡμεῖς οὖν ὀφείλομεν ἀπολαμβάνειν τοὺς τοιούτους, ἵνα συνεργοὶ γινώμεθα τῇ ἀληθείᾳ.
9 Писа́хъ цр҃кви: но первенстволю́бецъ и҆́хъ дїотре́фъ не прїе́млетъ на́съ.
9 I wrote to the assembly, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t accept what we say.
9 Ἔγραψα τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ· ἀλλ᾽ ὁ φιλοπρωτεύων αὐτῶν Διοτρεφὴς οὐκ ἐπιδέχεται ἡμᾶς.
10 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди, а҆́ще прїидꙋ̀, воспомѧнꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀ дѣла̀, ꙗ҆́же твори́тъ, словесы̀ лꙋка́выми ᲂу҆корѧ́ѧ на́съ: и҆ недово́ленъ быва́ѧ ѡ҆ си́хъ, ни са́мъ прїе́млетъ бра́тїю, и҆ хотѧ́щымъ возбранѧ́етъ, и҆ ѿ цр҃кве и҆зго́нитъ.
10 Therefore, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words. Not content with this, he doesn’t receive the brothers himself, and those who would, he forbids and throws out of the assembly.
10 διὰ τοῦτο, ἐὰν ἔλθω, ὑπομνήσω αὐτοῦ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιεῖ, λόγοις πονηροῖς φλυαρῶν ἡμᾶς· καὶ μὴ ἀρκούμενος ἐπὶ τούτοις οὔτε αὐτὸς ἐπιδέχεται τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς καὶ τοὺς βουλομένους κωλύει καὶ [ἐκ] τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἐκβάλλει.
11 Возлю́бленне, не ᲂу҆подоблѧ́йсѧ ѕло́мꙋ, но бл҃го́мꙋ. Благотворѧ́й ѿ бг҃а є҆́сть: а҆ ѕлотворѧ́й не ви́дѣ бг҃а.
11 Beloved, don’t imitate that which is evil, but that which is good. He who does good is of God. He who does evil hasn’t seen God.
11 Ἀγαπητέ, μὴ μιμοῦ τὸ κακόν, ἀλλὰ τὸ ἀγαθόν. ὁ ἀγαθοποιῶν ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν· ὁ κακοποιῶν οὐχ ἑώρακε τὸν Θεόν.
12 Дими́трїеви свидѣ́тельствовасѧ ѿ всѣ́хъ и҆ ѿ са́мыѧ и҆́стины: и҆ мы́ же свидѣ́тельствꙋемъ, и҆ вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ свидѣ́тельство на́ше и҆́стинно є҆́сть.
12 Demetrius has the testimony of all, and of the truth itself; yes, we also testify, and you know that our testimony is true.
12 Δημητρίῳ μεμαρτύρηται ὑπὸ πάντων καὶ ὑπ᾽ αὐτῆς τῆς ἀληθείας· καὶ ἡμεῖς δὲ μαρτυροῦμεν, καὶ οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ μαρτυρία ἡμῶν ἀληθής ἐστι.
13 Мнѡ́га и҆мѣ́хъ писа́ти, но не хощꙋ̀ черни́ломъ и҆ тро́стїю писа́ти тебѣ̀,
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am unwilling to write to you with ink and pen;
13 Πολλὰ εἶχον γράφειν, ἀλλ᾽ οὐ θέλω διὰ μέλανος καὶ καλάμου σοι γράψαι·
14 ᲂу҆пова́ю же а҆́бїе ви́дѣти тѧ̀ и҆ ᲂу҆сты̑ ко ᲂу҆стѡ́мъ глаго́лати.
14 but I hope to see you soon. Then we will speak face to face. Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
14 ἐλπίζω δὲ εὐθέως ἰδεῖν σε, καὶ στόμα πρὸς στόμα λαλήσομεν.
15 Ми́ръ тебѣ̀. Цѣлꙋ́ютъ тѧ̀ дрꙋ́зи: цѣлꙋ́й дрꙋ́ги по и҆́мени. А҆ми́нь.

15 εἰρήνη σοι. ἀσπάζονταί σε οἱ φίλοι. ἀσπάζου τοὺς φίλους κατ᾽ ὄνομα.
