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 І҆а́кѡвъ, бг҃ꙋ и҆ гдⷭ҇ꙋ і҆и҃сꙋ хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀ ра́бъ, ѻ҆бѣмана́десѧте колѣ́нома, и҆̀же въ разсѣ́ѧнїи, ра́доватисѧ.
1 Ἰάκωβος, Θεοῦ καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ δοῦλος, ταῖς δώδεκα φυλαῖς ταῖς ἐν τῇ διασπορᾷ χαίρειν.
2 Всѧ́кꙋ ра́дость и҆мѣ́йте, бра́тїе моѧ̑, є҆гда̀ во и҆скꙋшє́нїѧ впа́даете разли̑чна,
2 Πᾶσαν χαρὰν ἡγήσασθε, ἀδελφοί μου, ὅταν πειρασμοῖς περιπέσητε ποικίλοις,
3 вѣ́дѧще, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆скꙋше́нїе ва́шеѧ вѣ́ры содѣ́ловаетъ терпѣ́нїе:
3 γινώσκοντες ὅτι τὸ δοκίμιον ὑμῶν τῆς πίστεως κατεργάζεται ὑπομονήν·
4 терпѣ́нїе же дѣ́ло соверше́нно да и҆́мать, ꙗ҆́кѡ да бꙋ́дете соверше́нни и҆ всецѣ́ли, ни въ че́мже лише́ни.
4 ἡ δὲ ὑπομονὴ ἔργον τέλειον ἐχέτω, ἵνα ἦτε τέλειοι καὶ ὁλόκληροι, ἐν μηδενὶ λειπόμενοι.
5 А҆́ще же кто̀ ѿ ва́съ лише́нъ є҆́сть премꙋ́дрости, да про́ситъ ѿ даю́щагѡ бг҃а всѣ̑мъ нелицепрїе́мнѣ и҆ не поноша́ющагѡ, и҆ да́стсѧ є҆мꙋ̀.
5 Εἰ δέ τις ὑμῶν λείπεται σοφίας, αἰτείτω παρὰ τοῦ διδόντος Θεοῦ πᾶσιν ἁπλῶς καὶ οὐκ ὀνειδίζοντος, καὶ δοθήσεται αὐτῷ·
6 Да про́ситъ же вѣ́рою, ничто́же сꙋмнѧ́сѧ: сꙋмнѧ́йсѧ бо ᲂу҆подо́бисѧ волне́нїю морско́мꙋ, вѣ̑тры возмета́емꙋ и҆ развѣва́емꙋ.
6 αἰτείτω δὲ ἐν πίστει, μηδὲν διακρινόμενος· ὁ γὰρ διακρινόμενος ἔοικε κλύδωνι θαλάσσης ἀνεμιζομένῳ καὶ ῥιπιζομένῳ.
7 Да не мни́тъ бо человѣ́къ ѡ҆́нъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ прїи́метъ что̀ ѿ бг҃а.
7 μὴ γὰρ οἰέσθω ὁ ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖνος ὅτι λήψεταί τι παρὰ τοῦ Κυρίου.
8 Мꙋ́жъ двоедꙋ́шенъ неꙋстро́енъ во всѣ́хъ пꙋте́хъ свои́хъ.
8 ἀνὴρ δίψυχος ἀκατάστατος ἐν πάσαις ταῖς ὁδοῖς αὐτοῦ.
9 Да хва́литсѧ же бра́тъ смире́нный въ высотѣ̀ свое́й,
9 καυχάσθω δὲ ὁ ἀδελφὸς ὁ ταπεινὸς ἐν τῷ ὕψει αὐτοῦ,
10 бога́тый же во смире́нїи свое́мъ, занѐ ꙗ҆́коже цвѣ́тъ травны́й мимои́детъ:
10 ὁ δὲ πλούσιος ἐν τῇ ταπεινώσει αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ὡς ἄνθος χόρτου παρελεύσεται.
11 возсїѧ́ бо со́лнце со зно́емъ, и҆ и҆зсꙋшѝ травꙋ̀, и҆ цвѣ́тъ є҆ѧ̀ ѿпадѐ, и҆ благолѣ́пїе лица̀ є҆ѧ̀ поги́бе: си́це и҆ бога́тый въ хожде́нїи свое́мъ ᲂу҆вѧда́етъ.
11 ἀνέτειλε γὰρ ὁ ἥλιος σὺν τῷ καύσωνι καὶ ἐξήρανε τὸν χόρτον, καὶ τὸ ἄνθος αὐτοῦ ἐξέπεσε, καὶ ἡ εὐπρέπεια τοῦ προσώπου αὐτοῦ ἀπώλετο. οὕτω καὶ ὁ πλούσιος ἐν ταῖς πορείαις αὐτοῦ μαρανθήσεται.
12 Бл҃же́нъ мꙋ́жъ, и҆́же претерпи́тъ и҆скꙋше́нїе: занѐ и҆скꙋ́сенъ бы́въ, прїи́метъ вѣне́цъ жи́зни, є҆го́же ѡ҆бѣща̀ бг҃ъ лю́бѧщымъ є҆го̀.
12 Μακάριος ἀνὴρ ὃς ὑπομένει πειρασμόν· ὅτι δόκιμος γενόμενος λήψεται τὸν στέφανον τῆς ζωῆς, ὃν ἐπηγγείλατο ὁ Κύριος τοῖς ἀγαπῶσιν αὐτόν.
13 Никто́же и҆скꙋша́емь да глаго́летъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ бг҃а и҆скꙋша́емь є҆́смь: бг҃ъ бо нѣ́сть и҆скꙋси́тель ѕлы̑мъ, не и҆скꙋша́етъ же то́й никого́же,
13 Μηδεὶς πειραζόμενος λεγέτω ὅτι ἀπὸ Θεοῦ πειράζομαι· ὁ γὰρ Θεὸς ἀπείραστός ἐστι κακῶν, πειράζει δὲ αὐτὸς οὐδένα.
14 кі́йждо же и҆скꙋша́етсѧ, ѿ своеѧ̀ по́хоти влеко́мь и҆ прельща́емь:
14 ἕκαστος δὲ πειράζεται ὑπὸ τῆς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας ἐξελκόμενος καὶ δελεαζόμενος·
15 та́же по́хоть заче́нши ражда́етъ грѣ́хъ, грѣ́хъ же содѣ́ѧнъ ражда́етъ сме́рть.
15 εἶτα ἡ ἐπιθυμία συλλαβοῦσα τίκτει ἁμαρτίαν, ἡ δὲ ἁμαρτία ἀποτελεσθεῖσα ἀποκύει θάνατον.
16 Не льсти́тесѧ, бра́тїе моѧ̑ возлю́бленнаѧ:
16 Μὴ πλανᾶσθε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί·
17 всѧ́ко даѧ́нїе бл҃го и҆ всѧ́къ да́ръ соверше́нъ свы́ше є҆́сть, сходѧ́й ѿ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ свѣ́тѡвъ, ᲂу҆ негѡ́же нѣ́сть премѣне́нїе, и҆лѝ преложе́нїѧ стѣ́нь.
17 πᾶσα δόσις ἀγαθὴ καὶ πᾶν δώρημα τέλειον ἄνωθέν ἐστι καταβαῖνον ἀπὸ τοῦ πατρὸς τῶν φώτων, παρ᾽ ᾧ οὐκ ἔνι παραλλαγὴ ἢ τροπῆς ἀποσκίασμα.
18 Восхотѣ́въ бо породѝ на́съ сло́вомъ и҆́стины, во є҆́же бы́ти на́мъ нача́токъ нѣ́кїй созда́нїємъ є҆гѡ̀.
18 βουληθεὶς ἀπεκύησεν ἡμᾶς λόγῳ ἀληθείας εἰς τὸ εἶναι ἡμᾶς ἀπαρχήν τινα τῶν αὐτοῦ κτισμάτων.
19 Тѣ́мже, бра́тїе моѧ̑ возлю́бленнаѧ, да бꙋ́детъ всѧ́къ человѣ́къ ско́ръ ᲂу҆слы́шати, (и҆) ко́сенъ глаго́лати, ко́сенъ во гнѣ́въ,
19 Ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου ἀγαπητοί, ἔστω πᾶς ἄνθρωπος ταχὺς εἰς τὸ ἀκοῦσαι, βραδὺς εἰς τὸ λαλῆσαι, βραδὺς εἰς ὀργήν·
20 гнѣ́въ бо мꙋ́жа пра́вды бж҃їѧ не содѣ́ловаетъ.
20 ὀργὴ γὰρ ἀνδρὸς δικαιοσύνην Θεοῦ οὐ κατεργάζεται.
21 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѿло́жше всѧ́кꙋ скве́рнꙋ и҆ и҆збы́токъ ѕло́бы, въ кро́тости прїими́те всажде́нное сло́во, могꙋ́щее спⷭ҇тѝ дꙋ́шы ва́шѧ.
21 διὸ ἀποθέμενοι πᾶσαν ῥυπαρίαν καὶ περισσείαν κακίας ἐν πραΰτητι δέξασθε τὸν ἔμφυτον λόγον τὸν δυνάμενον σῶσαι τὰς ψυχὰς ὑμῶν.
22 Быва́йте же творцы̀ сло́ва, а҆ не то́чїю слы́шатєли, прельща́юще себѐ самѣ́хъ.
22 Γίνεσθε δὲ ποιηταὶ λόγου καὶ μὴ μόνον ἀκροαταί, παραλογιζόμενοι ἑαυτούς.
23 Занѐ а҆́ще кто̀ є҆́сть слы́шатель сло́ва, а҆ не творе́цъ, таковы́й ᲂу҆подо́бисѧ мꙋ́жꙋ смотрѧ́ющꙋ лицѐ бытїѧ̀ своегѡ̀ въ зерца́лѣ:
23 ὅτι εἴ τις ἀκροατὴς λόγου ἐστὶ καὶ οὐ ποιητής, οὗτος ἔοικεν ἀνδρὶ κατανοοῦντι τὸ πρόσωπον τῆς γενέσεως αὐτοῦ ἐν ἐσόπτρῳ·
24 ᲂу҆смотри́ бо себѐ и҆ ѿи́де, и҆ а҆́бїе забы̀, како́въ бѣ̀.
24 κατενόησε γὰρ ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἀπελήλυθε, καὶ εὐθέως ἐπελάθετο ὁποῖος ἦν.
25 Прини́кїй же въ зако́нъ соверше́нъ свобо́ды, и҆ пребы́въ, се́й не слы́шатель забы́тливъ бы́въ, но творе́цъ дѣ́ла, се́й бл҃же́нъ въ дѣ́ланїи свое́мъ бꙋ́детъ.
25 ὁ δὲ παρακύψας εἰς νόμον τέλειον τὸν τῆς ἐλευθερίας καὶ παραμείνας, οὗτος οὐκ ἀκροατὴς ἐπιλησμονῆς γενόμενος, ἀλλὰ ποιητὴς ἔργου, οὗτος μακάριος ἐν τῇ ποιήσει αὐτοῦ ἔσται.
26 А҆́ще кто̀ мни́тсѧ вѣ́ренъ бы́ти въ ва́съ, и҆ не ѡ҆бꙋздова́етъ ѧ҆зы́ка своегѡ̀, но льсти́тъ се́рдце своѐ, сегѡ̀ сꙋ́етна (є҆́сть) вѣ́ра.
26 Εἴ τις δοκεῖ θρῆσκος εἶναι ἐν ὑμῖν μὴ χαλιναγωγῶν γλῶσσαν αὐτοῦ, ἀλλ᾽ ἀπατῶν καρδίαν αὐτοῦ, τούτου μάταιος ἡ θρησκεία.
27 Вѣ́ра бо чтⷭ҇а̀ и҆ нескве́рна пред̾ бг҃омъ и҆ ѻ҆ц҃е́мъ сїѧ̀ є҆́сть, є҆́же посѣща́ти си́рыхъ и҆ вдови́цъ въ ско́рбехъ и҆́хъ, (и҆) нескве́рна себѐ блюстѝ ѿ мі́ра.
27 θρησκεία καθαρὰ καὶ ἀμίαντος παρὰ [τῷ] Θεῷ καὶ πατρὶ αὕτη ἐστίν, ἐπισκέπτεσθαι ὀρφανοὺς καὶ χήρας ἐν τῇ θλίψει αὐτῶν, ἄσπιλον ἑαυτὸν τηρεῖν ἀπὸ τοῦ κόσμου.

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).
But I hungered and thirsted not even after those first works of Thine, but after Thee Thyself, the Truth, "with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning;" yet they still served up to me in those dishes glowing phantasies, than which better were it to love this very sun (which, at least, is true to our sight), than those …

… not by passion, or union, not in ignorance, not by effluence, not by diminution, not by alteration, for every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow of turning.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 2, vol. 7 (1894)
How, therefore, are demons driven off by them, diseases dispelled, sick persons made well, the blind restored to sight, lepers purified, temptations and troubles overcome, and how does every good gift from the Father of lights come down through them to those who pray with sure faith?
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 2, vol. 9 (1899)
… light my candle; the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness; and "of His fulness have all we received," for "that was the true Light which lighted every man that cometh into the world;" for in Thee there is "no variableness, neither shadow of turning."

For if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God who giveth, and he shall receive.
