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, а҆пⷭ҇лъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ во́лею бж҃їею, и҆ тїмоѳе́й бра́тъ,
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,
1 Παῦλος, ἀπόστολος Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ διὰ θελήματος Θεοῦ, καὶ Τιμόθεος ὁ ἀδελφός,
2 сꙋ́щымъ въ колосса́ехъ ст҃ы̑мъ и҆ вѣ̑рнымъ бра́тїѧмъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ:
2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
2 τοῖς ἐν Κολασσαῖς ἁγίοις καὶ πιστοῖς ἀδελφοῖς ἐν Χριστῷ· χάρις ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη ἀπὸ Θεοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.
3 блгⷣть ва́мъ и҆ ми́ръ ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ на́шегѡ, и҆ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀. Благодари́мъ бг҃а и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀, всегда̀ ѡ҆ ва́съ молѧ́щесѧ,
3 We give thanks to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
3 Εὐχαριστοῦμεν τῷ Θεῷ καὶ πατρὶ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ πάντοτε περὶ ὑμῶν προσευχόμενοι,
4 слы́шавше вѣ́рꙋ ва́шꙋ, ꙗ҆́же ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ, и҆ любо́вь, ю҆́же и҆́мате ко всѣ̑мъ ст҃ы́мъ,
4 having heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love which you have toward all the saints,
4 ἀκούσαντες τὴν πίστιν ὑμῶν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ καὶ τὴν ἀγάπην τὴν εἰς πάντας τοὺς ἁγίους,
5 за ᲂу҆пова́нїе ѿложе́нное ва́мъ на нб҃сѣ́хъ, є҆́же пре́жде слы́шасте въ словесѝ и҆́стины бл҃говѣствова́нїѧ,
5 because of the hope which is laid up for you in the heavens, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the Good News
5 διὰ τὴν ἐλπίδα τὴν ἀποκειμένην ὑμῖν ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς, ἣν προηκούσατε ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τῆς ἀληθείας τοῦ εὐαγγελίου
6 сꙋ́щагѡ въ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ во все́мъ мі́рѣ: и҆ є҆́сть плодоно́сно и҆ расти́мо, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ въ ва́съ, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ слы́шасте и҆ разꙋмѣ́сте блгⷣть бж҃їю во и҆́стинѣ:
6 which has come to you, even as it is in all the world and is bearing fruit and growing, as it does in you also, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth,
6 τοῦ παρόντος εἰς ὑμᾶς, καθὼς καὶ ἐν παντὶ τῷ κόσμῳ, καὶ ἔστι καρποφορούμενον καὶ αὐξανόμενον καθὼς καὶ ἐν ὑμῖν, ἀφ᾽ ἧς ἡμέρας ἠκούσατε καὶ ἐπέγνωτε τὴν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν ἀληθείᾳ,
7 ꙗ҆́коже и҆ ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣсте ѿ є҆пафра́са, возлю́бленнагѡ сорабо́тника на́шегѡ, и҆́же є҆́сть вѣ́ренъ ѡ҆ ва́съ слꙋжи́тель хрⷭ҇то́въ,
7 even as you learned from Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,
7 καθὼς καὶ ἐμάθετε ἀπὸ Ἐπαφρᾶ τοῦ ἀγαπητοῦ συνδούλου ἡμῶν, ὅς ἐστι πιστὸς ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν διάκονος τοῦ Χριστοῦ,
8 и҆́же и҆ ꙗ҆вѝ на́мъ ва́шꙋ любо́вь въ дꙋ́сѣ.
8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.
8 ὁ καὶ δηλώσας ἡμῖν τὴν ὑμῶν ἀγάπην ἐν Πνεύματι.
9 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди и҆ мы̀, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ слы́шахомъ, не престае́мъ ѡ҆ ва́съ молѧ́щесѧ и҆ просѧ́ще, да и҆спо́лнитесѧ въ ра́зꙋмѣ во́ли є҆гѡ̀, во всѧ́цѣй премꙋ́дрости и҆ ра́зꙋмѣ дꙋхо́внѣмъ,
9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,
9 Διὰ τοῦτο καὶ ἡμεῖς, ἀφ᾽ ἧς ἡμέρας ἠκούσαμεν, οὐ παυόμεθα ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν προσευχόμενοι καὶ αἰτούμενοι ἵνα πληρωθῆτε τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ καὶ συνέσει πνευματικῇ,
10 ꙗ҆́кѡ ходи́ти ва́мъ досто́йнѣ бг҃ꙋ во всѧ́цѣмъ ᲂу҆гожде́нїи, (и҆) всѧ́цѣмъ дѣ́лѣ бла́зѣ, плодоносѧ́ще и҆ возраста́юще въ ра́зꙋмѣ бж҃їи,
10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,
10 περιπατῆσαι ὑμᾶς ἀξίως τοῦ Κυρίου εἰς πᾶσαν ἀρέσκειαν, ἐν παντὶ ἔργῳ ἀγαθῷ καρποφοροῦντες καὶ αὐξανόμενοι εἰς τὴν ἐπίγνωσιν τοῦ Θεοῦ,
11 всѧ́кою си́лою возмога́юще по держа́вѣ сла́вы є҆гѡ̀, во всѧ́цѣмъ терпѣ́нїи и҆ долготерпѣ́нїи съ ра́достїю,
11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,
11 ἐν πάσῃ δυνάμει δυναμούμενοι κατὰ τὸ κράτος τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ εἰς πᾶσαν ὑπομονὴν καὶ μακροθυμίαν,
12 благодарѧ́ще бг҃а и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀, призва́вшаго ва́съ въ прича́стїе наслѣ́дїѧ ст҃ы́хъ во свѣ́тѣ,
12 giving thanks to the Father, who made us fit to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,
12 μετὰ χαρᾶς εὐχαριστοῦντες τῷ [Θεῷ καὶ] πατρὶ τῷ ἱκανώσαντι ἡμᾶς εἰς τὴν μερίδα τοῦ κλήρου τῶν ἁγίων ἐν τῷ φωτί,
13 и҆́же и҆зба́ви на́съ ѿ вла́сти те́мныѧ и҆ преста́ви въ црⷭ҇тво сн҃а любвѐ своеѧ̀,
13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the Kingdom of the Son of his love,
13 ὃς ἐρρύσατο ἡμᾶς ἐκ τῆς ἐξουσίας τοῦ σκότους καὶ μετέστησεν εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ υἱοῦ τῆς ἀγάπης αὐτοῦ,
14 ѡ҆ не́мже и҆́мамы и҆збавле́нїе кро́вїю є҆гѡ̀ и҆ ѡ҆ставле́нїе грѣхѡ́въ,
14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins.
14 ἐν ᾧ ἔχομεν τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν, τὴν ἄφεσιν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν·
15 и҆́же є҆́сть ѡ҆́бразъ бг҃а неви́димагѡ, перворожде́нъ всеѧ̀ тва́ри:
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
15 ὅς ἐστιν εἰκὼν τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ἀοράτου, πρωτότοκος πάσης κτίσεως,
16 ꙗ҆́кѡ тѣ́мъ создана̑ бы́ша всѧ́чєскаѧ, ꙗ҆̀же на нб҃сѝ и҆ ꙗ҆̀же на землѝ, ви̑димаѧ и҆ неви̑димаѧ, а҆́ще престо́ли, а҆́ще госпѡ́дствїѧ, а҆́ще нача́ла, а҆́ще вла́сти: всѧ́чєскаѧ тѣ́мъ и҆ ѡ҆ не́мъ созда́шасѧ:
16 For by him all things were created in the heavens and on the earth, visible things and invisible things, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things have been created through him and for him.
16 ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ ἐκτίσθη τὰ πάντα, τὰ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς καὶ τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, τὰ ὁρατὰ καὶ τὰ ἀόρατα, εἴτε θρόνοι εἴτε κυριότητες εἴτε ἀρχαὶ εἴτε ἐξουσίαι· τὰ πάντα δι᾽ αὐτοῦ καὶ εἰς αὐτὸν ἔκτισται·
17 и҆ то́й є҆́сть пре́жде всѣ́хъ, и҆ всѧ́чєскаѧ въ не́мъ состоѧ́тсѧ.
17 He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.
17 καὶ αὐτός ἐστι πρὸ πάντων, καὶ τὰ πάντα ἐν αὐτῷ συνέστηκε,
18 И҆ то́й є҆́сть глава̀ тѣ́лꙋ цр҃кве, и҆́же є҆́сть нача́токъ, перворожде́нъ и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ да бꙋ́детъ во всѣ́хъ то́й пе́рвенствꙋѧ:
18 He is the head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he might have the preeminence.
18 καὶ αὐτός ἐστιν ἡ κεφαλὴ τοῦ σώματος, τῆς ἐκκλησίας· ὅς ἐστιν ἀρχή, πρωτότοκος ἐκ τῶν νεκρῶν, ἵνα γένηται ἐν πᾶσιν αὐτὸς πρωτεύων,
19 ꙗ҆́кѡ въ не́мъ благоизво́ли всемꙋ̀ и҆сполне́нїю всели́тисѧ,
19 For all the fullness was pleased to dwell in him,
19 ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ εὐδόκησε πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα κατοικῆσαι
20 и҆ тѣ́мъ примири́ти всѧ́чєскаѧ къ себѣ̀, ᲂу҆миротвори́въ кро́вїю крⷭ҇та̀ є҆гѡ̀, чрез̾ него̀, а҆́ще земна̑ѧ, а҆́ще ли нбⷭ҇наѧ.
20 and through him to reconcile all things to himself by him, whether things on the earth or things in the heavens, having made peace through the blood of his cross.
20 καὶ δι᾽ αὐτοῦ ἀποκαταλλάξαι τὰ πάντα εἰς αὐτόν, εἰρηνοποιήσας διὰ τοῦ αἵματος τοῦ σταυροῦ αὐτοῦ, δι᾽ αὐτοῦ εἴτε τὰ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς εἴτε τὰ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
21 И҆ ва́съ, и҆ногда̀ сꙋ́щихъ ѿчꙋжде́нныхъ и҆ врагѡ́въ помышле́ньми въ дѣ́лѣхъ лꙋка́выхъ,
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds,
21 καὶ ὑμᾶς ποτε ὄντας ἀπηλλοτριωμένους καὶ ἐχθροὺς τῇ διανοίᾳ ἐν τοῖς ἔργοις τοῖς πονηροῖς,
22 нн҃ѣ же примирѝ въ тѣ́лѣ пло́ти є҆гѡ̀ сме́ртїю є҆гѡ̀, предста́вити ва́съ ст҃ы́хъ и҆ непоро́чныхъ и҆ непови́нныхъ пред̾ собо́ю,
22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him,
22 νυνὶ δὲ ἀποκατήλλαξεν ἐν τῷ σώματι τῆς σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ διὰ τοῦ θανάτου, παραστῆσαι ὑμᾶς ἁγίους καὶ ἀμώμους καὶ ἀνεγκλήτους κατενώπιον αὐτοῦ,
23 а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо пребыва́ете въ вѣ́рѣ ѡ҆снова́ни и҆ тве́рди, и҆ неподви́жими ѿ ᲂу҆пова́нїѧ бл҃говѣствова́нїѧ, є҆́же слы́шасте, проповѣ́данное все́й тва́ри поднебе́снѣй, є҆мꙋ́же бы́хъ а҆́зъ па́ѵелъ слꙋжи́тель.
23 if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
23 εἴ γε ἐπιμένετε τῇ πίστει τεθεμελιωμένοι καὶ ἑδραῖοι καὶ μὴ μετακινούμενοι ἀπὸ τῆς ἐλπίδος τοῦ εὐαγγελίου οὗ ἠκούσατε, τοῦ κηρυχθέντος ἐν πάσῃ τῇ κτίσει τῇ ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανόν, οὗ ἐγενόμην ἐγὼ Παῦλος διάκονος.
24 Нн҃ѣ ра́дꙋюсѧ во страда́нїихъ мои́хъ ѡ҆ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆сполнѧ́ю лише́нїе скорбе́й хрⷭ҇то́выхъ во пло́ти мое́й за тѣ́ло є҆гѡ̀, є҆́же є҆́сть цр҃ковь,
24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,
24 Νῦν χαίρω ἐν τοῖς παθήμασί [μου] ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν καὶ ἀνταναπληρῶ τὰ ὑστερήματα τῶν θλίψεων τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου ὑπὲρ τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ, ὅ ἐστιν ἡ ἐκκλησία,
25 є҆́йже бы́хъ а҆́зъ слꙋжи́тель по смотре́нїю бж҃їю, да́нномꙋ мнѣ̀ въ ва́съ, и҆спо́лнити сло́во бж҃їе,
25 of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me toward you to fulfill the word of God,
25 ἧς ἐγενόμην ἐγὼ διάκονος κατὰ τὴν οἰκονομίαν τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι εἰς ὑμᾶς, πληρῶσαι τὸν λόγον τοῦ Θεοῦ,
26 та́йнꙋ сокрове́ннꙋю ѿ вѣ̑къ и҆ ѿ родѡ́въ: нн҃ѣ же ꙗ҆ви́сѧ ст҃ы́мъ є҆гѡ̀,
26 the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints,
26 τὸ μυστήριον τὸ ἀποκεκρυμμένον ἀπὸ τῶν αἰώνων καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν γενεῶν, νυνὶ δὲ ἐφανερώθη τοῖς ἁγίοις αὐτοῦ,
27 и҆̀мже восхотѣ̀ бг҃ъ сказа́ти, ко́е бога́тство сла́вы та́йны сеѧ̀ во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, и҆́же є҆́сть хрⷭ҇то́съ въ ва́съ, ᲂу҆пова́нїе сла́вы,
27 to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
27 οἷς ἠθέλησεν ὁ Θεὸς γνωρίσαι τίς ὁ πλοῦτος τῆς δόξης τοῦ μυστηρίου τούτου ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, ὅς ἐστι Χριστὸς ἐν ὑμῖν, ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς δόξης·
28 є҆го́же мы̀ проповѣ́дꙋемъ, наказꙋ́юще всѧ́каго человѣ́ка и҆ ᲂу҆ча́ще всѧ́цѣй премꙋ́дрости, да предста́вимъ всѧ́каго человѣ́ка соверше́нна ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ:
28 We proclaim him, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus;
28 ὃν ἡμεῖς καταγγέλλομεν νουθετοῦντες πάντα ἄνθρωπον καὶ διδάσκοντες πάντα ἄνθρωπον ἐν πάσῃ σοφίᾳ, ἵνα παραστήσωμεν πάντα ἄνθρωπον τέλειον ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ·
29 въ не́мже и҆ трꙋжда́юсѧ и҆ подвиза́юсѧ по дѣ́йствꙋ є҆гѡ̀ дѣ́йствꙋемомꙋ во мнѣ̀ си́лою.
29 for which I also labor, striving according to his working, which works in me mightily.
29 εἰς ὃ καὶ κοπιῶ ἀγωνιζόμενος κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν αὐτοῦ τὴν ἐνεργουμένην ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐν δυνάμει.

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).
Holy indeed are all the Epistles of Paul: but some advantage have those which he sent after he was in bonds: those, for instance, to the Ephesians and Philemon: that to Timothy, that to the Philippians, and the one before us: for this also was sent when he was a prisoner, since he writes in it thus: "for which I …

This being was endowed with all power by the Father, who placed everything under his authority, the Æons doing so likewise, so that "by him were all things, visible and invisible, created, thrones, divinities, dominions." He then was sent to her along with his contemporary angels.
But yet the Scripture hath not declared that God made this formlessness, any more than it hath declared many other things; as the Cherubim,' and Seraphim,' and those of which the apostle distinctly speaks, Thrones,' Dominions,' Principalities,' Powers,' all of which it is manifest God made.

For in proof that He meant this, and that before the taking of Jerusalem the gospel was preached, hear what Paul saith, "Their sound went into all the earth;" and again, "The gospel which was preached to every creature which is under Heaven." And seest thou him running from Jerusalem unto Spain?
