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.

PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди а҆́зъ па́ѵелъ ю҆́зникъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ ѡ҆ ва́съ ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ.
1 For this cause I, Paul, am the prisoner of Christ Jesus on behalf of you Gentiles,
1 Τούτου χάριν ἐγὼ Παῦλος ὁ δέσμιος τοῦ Χριστοῦ Ἰησοῦ ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν τῶν ἐθνῶν,
2 А҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ слы́шасте смотре́нїе блгⷣти бж҃їѧ да́нныѧ мнѣ̀ въ ва́съ,
2 if it is so that you have heard of the administration of that grace of God which was given me toward you,
2 εἴγε ἠκούσατε τὴν οἰκονομίαν τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Θεοῦ τῆς δοθείσης μοι εἰς ὑμᾶς,
3 ꙗ҆́кѡ по ѿкрове́нїю сказа́сѧ мнѣ̀ та́йна, ꙗ҆́коже преднаписа́хъ вма́лѣ:
3 how that by revelation the mystery was made known to me, as I wrote before in few words,
3 ὅτι κατὰ ἀποκάλυψιν ἐγνώρισέ μοι τὸ μυστήριον, καθὼς προέγραψα ἐν ὀλίγῳ,
4 ѡ҆ не́мже мо́жете чтꙋ́ще разꙋмѣ́ти ра́зꙋмъ мо́й въ та́йнѣ хрⷭ҇то́вѣ,
4 by which, when you read, you can perceive my understanding in the mystery of Christ,
4 πρὸς ὃ δύνασθε ἀναγινώσκοντες νοῆσαι τὴν σύνεσίν μου ἐν τῷ μυστηρίῳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ,
5 ꙗ҆́же во и҆нѣ́хъ ро́дѣхъ не сказа́сѧ сынѡ́мъ человѣ́чєскимъ, ꙗ҆́коже нн҃ѣ ѿкры́сѧ ст҃ы̑мъ є҆гѡ̀ а҆пⷭлѡмъ и҆ прⷪ҇ро́кѡмъ дх҃омъ ст҃ы́мъ:
5 which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,
5 ὃ ἑτέραις γενεαῖς οὐκ ἐγνωρίσθη τοῖς υἱοῖς τῶν ἀνθρώπων ὡς νῦν ἀπεκαλύφθη τοῖς ἁγίοις ἀποστόλοις αὐτοῦ καὶ προφήταις ἐν Πνεύματι,
6 (ꙗ҆́кѡ) бы́ти ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ снаслѣ́дникѡмъ и҆ стѣле́сникѡмъ и҆ сприча́стникѡмъ ѡ҆бѣтова́нїѧ є҆гѡ̀ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ, бл҃говѣствова́нїемъ,
6 that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of his promise in Christ Jesus through the Good News,
6 εἶναι τὰ ἔθνη συγκληρονόμα καὶ σύσσωμα καὶ συμμέτοχα τῆς ἐπαγγελίας αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Χριστῷ διὰ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου,
7 є҆мꙋ́же бы́хъ слꙋжи́тель по да́рꙋ блгⷣти бж҃їѧ, да́нныѧ мнѣ̀ по дѣ́йствꙋ си́лы є҆гѡ̀.
7 of which I was made a servant according to the gift of that grace of God which was given me according to the working of his power.
7 οὗ ἐγενόμην διάκονος κατὰ τὴν δωρεὰν τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Θεοῦ τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι κατὰ τὴν ἐνέργειαν τῆς δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ.
8 Мнѣ̀ ме́ньшемꙋ всѣ́хъ ст҃ы́хъ дана̀ бы́сть блгⷣть сїѧ̀, во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ бл҃говѣсти́ти неизслѣ́дованное бога́тство хрⷭ҇то́во
8 To me, the very least of all saints, was this grace given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ,
8 ἐμοὶ τῷ ἐλαχιστοτέρῳ πάντων τῶν ἁγίων ἐδόθη ἡ χάρις αὕτη, ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν εὐαγγελίσασθαι τὸν ἀνεξιχνίαστον πλοῦτον τοῦ Χριστοῦ
9 и҆ просвѣти́ти всѣ́хъ, что̀ є҆́сть смотре́нїе та́йны сокрове́нныѧ ѿ вѣкѡ́въ въ бз҃ѣ, созда́вшемъ всѧ́чєскаѧ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́мъ,
9 and to make all men see what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God, who created all things through Jesus Christ,
9 καὶ φωτίσαι πάντας τίς ἡ οἰκονομία τοῦ μυστηρίου τοῦ ἀποκεκρυμμένου ἀπὸ τῶν αἰώνων ἐν τῷ Θεῷ, τῷ τὰ πάντα κτίσαντι διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
10 да ска́жетсѧ нн҃ѣ нача́лѡмъ и҆ власте́мъ на нбⷭ҇ныхъ цр҃ковїю многоразли́чнаѧ премⷣрость бж҃їѧ,
10 to the intent that now through the assembly the manifold wisdom of God might be made known to the principalities and the powers in the heavenly places,
10 ἵνα γνωρισθῇ νῦν ταῖς ἀρχαῖς καὶ ταῖς ἐξουσίαις ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις διὰ τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἡ πολυποίκιλος σοφία τοῦ Θεοῦ,
11 по предложе́нїю вѣ̑къ, є҆́же сотворѝ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ гдⷭ҇ѣ на́шемъ,
11 according to the eternal purpose which he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.
11 κατὰ πρόθεσιν τῶν αἰώνων ἣν ἐποίησεν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν,
12 ѡ҆ не́мже и҆́мамы дерзнове́нїе и҆ приведе́нїе въ надѣ́ѧнїи вѣ́рою є҆гѡ̀.
12 In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.
12 ἐν ᾧ ἔχομεν τὴν παρρησίαν καὶ τὴν προσαγωγὴν ἐν πεποιθήσει διὰ τῆς πίστεως αὐτοῦ.
13 Тѣ́мже молю̀ (вы̀) не стꙋжа́ти сѝ въ ско́рбехъ мои́хъ ѡ҆ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть сла́ва ва́ша.
13 Therefore I ask that you may not lose heart at my troubles for you, which are your glory.
13 διὸ αἰτοῦμαι μὴ ἐκκακεῖν ἐν ταῖς θλίψεσί μου ὑπὲρ ὑμῶν, ἥτις ἐστὶ δόξα ὑμῶν.
14 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди преклонѧ́ю колѣ́на моѧ̑ ко ѻ҆ц҃ꙋ̀ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀,
14 For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
14 Τούτου χάριν κάμπτω τὰ γόνατά μου πρὸς τὸν πατέρα τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
15 и҆з̾ негѡ́же всѧ́ко ѻ҆те́чество на нб҃сѣ́хъ и҆ на землѝ и҆менꙋ́етсѧ:
15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
15 ἐξ οὗ πᾶσα πατριὰ ἐν οὐρανοῖς καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς ὀνομάζεται,
16 да да́стъ ва́мъ по бога́тствꙋ сла́вы своеѧ̀, си́лою ᲂу҆тверди́тисѧ дх҃омъ є҆гѡ̀ во внꙋ́треннемъ человѣ́цѣ,
16 that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that you may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person,
16 ἵνα δῴη ὑμῖν κατὰ τὸν πλοῦτον τῆς δόξης αὐτοῦ δυνάμει κραταιωθῆναι διὰ τοῦ Πνεύματος αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸν ἔσω ἄνθρωπον,
17 всели́тисѧ хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀ вѣ́рою въ сердца̀ ва̑ша: въ любвѝ вкорене́ни и҆ ѡ҆снова́ни,
17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
17 κατοικῆσαι τὸν Χριστὸν διὰ τῆς πίστεως ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις ὑμῶν,
18 да возмо́жете разꙋмѣ́ти со всѣ́ми ст҃ы́ми, что̀ широта̀ и҆ долгота̀ и҆ глꙋбина̀ и҆ высота̀,
18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth,
18 ἐν ἀγάπῃ ἐρριζωμένοι καὶ τεθεμελιωμένοι ἵνα ἐξισχύσητε καταλαβέσθαι σὺν πᾶσι τοῖς ἁγίοις τί τὸ πλάτος καὶ μῆκος καὶ βάθος καὶ ὕψος,
19 разꙋмѣ́ти же преспѣ́ющꙋю ра́зꙋмъ любо́вь хрⷭ҇то́вꙋ, да и҆спо́лнитесѧ во всѧ́ко и҆сполне́нїе бж҃їе.
19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
19 γνῶναί τε τὴν ὑπερβάλλουσαν τῆς γνώσεως ἀγάπην τοῦ Χριστοῦ, ἵνα πληρωθῆτε εἰς πᾶν τὸ πλήρωμα τοῦ Θεοῦ.
20 Могꙋ́щемꙋ же па́че всѧ̑ твори́ти по преизбы́точествїю, и҆́хже про́симъ и҆лѝ разꙋмѣ́емъ, по си́лѣ дѣ́йствꙋемѣй въ на́съ,
20 Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
20 Τῷ δὲ δυναμένῳ ὑπὲρ πάντα ποιῆσαι ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ ὧν αἰτούμεθα ἢ νοοῦμεν, κατὰ τὴν δύναμιν τὴν ἐνεργουμένην ἐν ἡμῖν,
21 томꙋ̀ сла́ва въ цр҃кви ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ во всѧ̑ ро́ды вѣ́ка вѣкѡ́въ. А҆ми́нь.
21 to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
21 αὐτῷ ἡ δόξα ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς πάσας τὰς γενεὰς τοῦ αἰῶνος τῶν αἰώνων· ἀμήν.

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).
We relate how it came to pass,--she leapeth for joy, and triumpheth, and blesseth Thee, who art "able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think; for she perceived Thee to have given her more for me than she used to ask by her pitiful and most doleful groanings.

… we also say like the Apostle, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and God of all consolation: and, We bow our knees unto the Father from whom all fatherhood in heaven and on earth is named: glorifying Him with the Only-begotten: for he that denieth the Father, denieth the Son …

And, therefore, from the beginning was He super-eminently "borne above the waters." To whom shall …
