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 Пото́мъ же по четырена́десѧти лѣ́тѣхъ па́ки взыдо́хъ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ съ варна́вою, пое́мъ съ собо́ю и҆ ті́та.
1 Then after a period of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with me.
1 Ἔπειτα διὰ δεκατεσσάρων ἐτῶν πάλιν ἀνέβην εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα μετὰ Βαρνάβα, συμπαραλαβὼν καὶ Τίτον·
2 Взыдо́хъ же по ѿкрове́нїю, и҆ предложи́хъ и҆̀мъ бл҃говѣствова́нїе, є҆́же проповѣ́дꙋю во ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, на є҆ди́нѣ же мни̑мымъ, да не ка́кѡ вотщѐ текꙋ̀, и҆лѝ теко́хъ.
2 I went up by revelation, and I laid before them the Good News which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were respected, for fear that I might be running, or had run, in vain.
2 ἀνέβην δὲ κατὰ ἀποκάλυψιν· καὶ ἀνεθέμην αὐτοῖς τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ὃ κηρύσσω ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι, κατ᾽ ἰδίαν δὲ τοῖς δοκοῦσι, μήπως εἰς κενὸν τρέχω ἢ ἔδραμον.
3 Но ни ті́тъ, и҆́же со мно́ю, є҆́ллинъ сы́й, нꙋ́жденъ бы́сть ѡ҆брѣ́затисѧ.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
3 ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ Τίτος ὁ σὺν ἐμοί, Ἕλλην ὤν, ἠναγκάσθη περιτμηθῆναι,
4 И҆ за прише́дшꙋю лжебра́тїю, и҆̀же привнидо́ша соглѧ́дати свобо́ды на́шеѧ, ю҆́же и҆́мамы ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ, да на́съ порабо́тѧтъ:
4 This was because of the false brothers secretly brought in, who stole in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage,
4 διὰ δὲ τοὺς παρεισάκτους ψευδαδέλφους, οἵτινες παρεισῆλθον κατασκοπῆσαι τὴν ἐλευθερίαν ἡμῶν ἣν ἔχομεν ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ, ἵνα ἡμᾶς καταδουλώσωνται·
5 и҆̀мже ни къ часꙋ̀ повинꙋ́хомсѧ въ покоре́нїе, да и҆́стина бл҃говѣ́стїѧ пребꙋ́детъ въ ва́съ.
5 to whom we gave no place in the way of subjection, not for an hour, that the truth of the Good News might continue with you.
5 οἷς οὐδὲ πρὸς ὥραν εἴξαμεν τῇ ὑποταγῇ, ἵνα ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ εὐαγγελίου διαμείνῃ πρὸς ὑμᾶς.
6 Ѿ мнѧ́щихсѧ же бы́ти что̀, ꙗ҆́кови нѣ́когда бѣ́ша, ничто́же мѝ ра́знствꙋетъ: лица̀ бг҃ъ человѣ́ча не прїе́млетъ. Мнѣ́ бо мни́мїи ничто́же привозложи́ша:
6 But from those who were reputed to be important—whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God doesn’t show partiality to man—they, I say, who were respected imparted nothing to me,
6 ἀπὸ δὲ τῶν δοκούντων εἶναί τι, ὁποῖοί ποτε ἦσαν οὐδέν μοι διαφέρει· πρόσωπον Θεὸς ἀνθρώπου οὐ λαμβάνει· ἐμοὶ γὰρ οἱ δοκοῦντες οὐδὲν προσανέθεντο,
7 но сопроти́вное, ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́вше, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆вѣ́рено мѝ бы́сть бл҃говѣ́стїе неѡбрѣ́занїѧ, ꙗ҆́коже петрꙋ̀ ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ:
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I had been entrusted with the Good News for the uncircumcised, even as Peter with the Good News for the circumcised—
7 ἀλλὰ τοὐναντίον ἰδόντες ὅτι πεπίστευμαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς ἀκροβυστίας καθὼς Πέτρος τῆς περιτομῆς·
8 и҆́бо споспѣ́шествовавый петрꙋ̀ въ посла́нїе ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ, споспѣ́шествова и҆ мнѣ̀ во ꙗ҆зы́ки:
8 for he who worked through Peter in the apostleship with the circumcised also worked through me with the Gentiles—
8 ὁ γὰρ ἐνεργήσας Πέτρῳ εἰς ἀποστολὴν τῆς περιτομῆς ἐνήργησε καὶ ἐμοὶ εἰς τὰ ἔθνη·
9 и҆ позна́вше блгⷣть да́ннꙋю мѝ, і҆а́кѡвъ и҆ ки́фа и҆ і҆ѡа́ннъ, мни́мїи столпѝ бы́ти, десни́цы да́ша мнѣ̀ и҆ варна́вѣ ѻ҆бще́нїѧ, да мы̀ во ꙗ҆зы́ки, ѻ҆ни́ же во ѡ҆брѣ́занїе,
9 and when they perceived the grace that was given to me, James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, gave to Barnabas and me the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision.
9 καὶ γνόντες τὴν χάριν τὴν δοθεῖσάν μοι, Ἰάκωβος καὶ Κηφᾶς καὶ Ἰωάννης, οἱ δοκοῦντες στῦλοι εἶναι, δεξιὰς ἔδωκαν ἐμοὶ καὶ Βαρνάβᾳ κοινωνίας, ἵνα ἡμεῖς εἰς τὰ ἔθνη, αὐτοὶ δὲ εἰς τὴν περιτομήν·
10 то́чїю ни́щихъ да по́мнима: є҆́же и҆ потща́хсѧ сїѐ и҆́стое сотвори́ти.
10 They only asked us to remember the poor—which very thing I was also zealous to do.
10 μόνον τῶν πτωχῶν ἵνα μνημονεύωμεν, ὃ καὶ ἐσπούδασα αὐτὸ τοῦτο ποιῆσαι.
11 Є҆гда́ же прїи́де пе́тръ во а҆нтїохі́ю, въ лицѐ є҆мꙋ̀ противꙋста́хъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ зазо́ренъ бѣ̀.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I resisted him to his face, because he stood condemned.
11 Ὅτε δὲ ἦλθε Πέτρος εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν, κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτῷ ἀντέστην, ὅτι κατεγνωσμένος ἦν.
12 Пре́жде бо да́же не прїитѝ нѣ̑кимъ ѿ і҆а́кѡва, съ ꙗ҆зы̑ки ꙗ҆дѧ́ше: є҆гда́ же прїидо́ша, ѡ҆прѧ́ташесѧ и҆ ѿлꙋча́шесѧ, боѧ́сѧ сꙋ́щихъ ѿ ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ.
12 For before some people came from James, he ate with the Gentiles. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those who were of the circumcision.
12 πρὸ τοῦ γὰρ ἐλθεῖν τινας ἀπὸ Ἰακώβου μετὰ τῶν ἐθνῶν συνήσθιεν· ὅτε δὲ ἦλθον, ὑπέστελλε καὶ ἀφώριζεν ἑαυτόν, φοβούμενος τοὺς ἐκ περιτομῆς.
13 И҆ лицемѣ́ришасѧ съ ни́мъ и҆ про́чїи і҆ꙋдє́и, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ варна́вѣ приста́ти лицемѣ́рствꙋ и҆́хъ.
13 And the rest of the Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy.
13 καὶ συνυπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ λοιποὶ Ἰουδαῖοι, ὥστε καὶ Βαρνάβας συναπήχθη αὐτῶν τῇ ὑποκρίσει.
14 Но є҆гда̀ ви́дѣхъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ не пра́вѡ хо́дѧтъ ко и҆́стинѣ бл҃говѣствова́нїѧ, реко́хъ петрꙋ̀ пред̾ всѣ́ми: а҆́ще ты̀, і҆ꙋде́й сы́й, ꙗ҆зы́чески, а҆ не і҆ꙋде́йски живе́ши, почто̀ ꙗ҆зы́ки нꙋ́диши і҆ꙋде́йски жи́тельствовати;
14 But when I saw that they didn’t walk uprightly according to the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter before them all, “If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
14 ἀλλ᾽ ὅτε εἶδον ὅτι οὐκ ὀρθοποδοῦσι πρὸς τὴν ἀλήθειαν τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, εἶπον τῷ Πέτρῳ ἔμπροσθεν πάντων· εἰ σὺ Ἰουδαῖος ὑπάρχων ἐθνικῶς ζῇς καὶ οὐκ Ἰουδαϊκῶς, τί τὰ ἔθνη ἀναγκάζεις ἰουδαΐζειν;
15 Мы̀ є҆стество́мъ і҆ꙋде́є, а҆ не ѿ ꙗ҆зы̑къ грѣ̑шницы:
15 “We, being Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners,
15 Ἡμεῖς φύσει Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ οὐκ ἐξ ἐθνῶν ἁμαρτωλοί,
16 ᲂу҆вѣ́дѣвше же, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ѡ҆правди́тсѧ человѣ́къ ѿ дѣ́лъ зако́на, но то́кмѡ вѣ́рою і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́вою, и҆ мы̀ во хрⷭ҇та̀ і҆и҃са вѣ́ровахомъ, да ѡ҆правди́мсѧ ѿ вѣ́ры хрⷭ҇то́вы, а҆ не ѿ дѣ́лъ зако́на: занѐ не ѡ҆правди́тсѧ ѿ дѣ́лъ зако́на всѧ́ка пло́ть.
16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.
16 εἰδότες [δὲ] ὅτι οὐ δικαιοῦται ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἔργων νόμου ἐὰν μὴ διὰ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐπιστεύσαμεν, ἵνα δικαιωθῶμεν ἐκ πίστεως Χριστοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου, διότι οὐ δικαιωθήσεται ἐξ ἔργων νόμου πᾶσα σάρξ.
17 А҆́ще ли, и҆́щꙋще ѡ҆правди́тисѧ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀, ѡ҆брѣто́хомсѧ и҆ са́ми грѣ̑шницы, хрⷭ҇то́съ ᲂу҆́бѡ грѣхꙋ́ ли слꙋжи́тель; Да не бꙋ́детъ.
17 But if while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not!
17 εἰ δὲ ζητοῦντες δικαιωθῆναι ἐν Χριστῷ εὑρέθημεν καὶ αὐτοὶ ἁμαρτωλοί, ἆρα Χριστὸς ἁμαρτίας διάκονος; μὴ γένοιτο.
18 А҆́ще бо, ꙗ҆̀же разори́хъ, сїѧ̑ па́ки созида́ю, престꙋ́пника себѐ представлѧ́ю.
18 For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker.
18 εἰ γὰρ ἃ κατέλυσα ταῦτα πάλιν οἰκοδομῶ, παραβάτην ἐμαυτὸν συνίστημι.
19 А҆́зъ бо зако́номъ зако́нꙋ ᲂу҆мро́хъ, да бг҃ови жи́въ бꙋ́дꙋ. Хрⷭ҇то́ви сраспѧ́хсѧ:
19 For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.
19 ἐγὼ γὰρ διὰ νόμου νόμῳ ἀπέθανον, ἵνα Θεῷ ζήσω.
20 живꙋ́ же не ктомꙋ̀ а҆́зъ, но живе́тъ во мнѣ̀ хрⷭ҇то́съ. А҆ є҆́же нн҃ѣ живꙋ̀ во пло́ти, вѣ́рою живꙋ̀ сн҃а бж҃їѧ, возлюби́вшагѡ менѐ и҆ преда́вшагѡ себѐ по мнѣ̀.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
20 Χριστῷ συνεσταύρωμαι· ζῶ δὲ οὐκέτι ἐγώ, ζῇ δὲ ἐν ἐμοὶ Χριστός· ὃ δὲ νῦν ζῶ ἐν σαρκί, ἐν πίστει ζῶ τῇ τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντός με καὶ παραδόντος ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ ἐμοῦ.
21 Не ѿмета́ю блгⷣти бж҃їѧ. А҆́ще бо зако́номъ пра́вда, ᲂу҆̀бо хрⷭ҇то́съ тꙋ́не ᲂу҆́мре.
21 I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”
21 Οὐκ ἀθετῶ τὴν χάριν τοῦ Θεοῦ· εἰ γὰρ διὰ νόμου δικαιοσύνη, ἄρα Χριστὸς δωρεὰν ἀπέθανεν.

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).
… that Paul alone knew the truth, and that to him the mystery was manifested by revelation, let Paul himself convict them, when he says, that one and the same God wrought in Peter for the apostolate of the circumcision, and in himself for the Gentiles. Peter, therefore, was an apostle of that very God whose was also Paul; and Him …
… the Son is the work of the Father, since it is written, "Who spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all;" and that the Passion of the Son was His own work also, "Who loved me, and gave Himself for me." The Father delivered up the Son, and the Son delivered up Himself.

"For He that wrought effectually in Peter," it is said, "to the apostleship of the circumcision, was mighty also in me towards the Gentiles." For since on seeing the Son, they were wroth and slew Him, He bids them again by His servants.

But I went up by revelation, and communicated to them that Gospel which I preached among the Gentiles." And again he says, "For an hour we did give place to subjection, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you." If, then, any one shall, from the Acts of the Apostles, carefully scrutinize the time concerning which it is …
But the Apostle says, "If righteousness come by the Law, then Christ is dead in vain." What the Apostle says of the Law, that say we of nature to these men.
