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 и҆ тїмоѳе́й, рабѝ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇тѡ́вы, всѣ̑мъ ст҃ы̑мъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ сꙋ́щымъ въ фїлі́ппѣхъ, съ є҆пі́скѡпы и҆ дїа́кѡны:
1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus who are at Philippi, with the overseers and servants:
2 блгⷣть ва́мъ и҆ ми́ръ ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ на́шегѡ и҆ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.
2 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Благодарю̀ бг҃а моего̀ ѡ҆ все́й па́мѧти ва́шей,
3 I thank my God whenever I remember you,
4 всегда̀ во всѧ́цѣй моли́твѣ мое́й за всѣ́хъ ва́съ съ ра́достїю моли́твꙋ мою̀ творѧ̀,
4 always in every request of mine on behalf of you all, making my requests with joy,
5 ѡ҆ ѻ҆бще́нїи ва́шемъ въ бл҃говѣствова́нїе ѿ пе́рвагѡ днѐ да́же и҆ донн҃ѣ,
5 for your partnership in furtherance of the Good News from the first day until now;
6 надѣ́ѧвсѧ на сїѐ и҆́стое, ꙗ҆́кѡ начны́й дѣ́ло бл҃го въ ва́съ соверши́тъ є҆̀ да́же до днѐ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́ва:
6 being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.
7 ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пра́ведно мнѣ̀ сїѐ мꙋ́дрствовати ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ ва́съ, за є҆́же и҆мѣ́ти мѝ въ се́рдцы ва́съ, во ᲂу҆́захъ мои́хъ и҆ во ѿвѣ́тѣ и҆ и҆звѣще́нїи бл҃говѣ́стїѧ, соѻ́бщникѡвъ мнѣ̀ блгⷣти всѣ́хъ ва́съ сꙋ́щихъ.
7 It is even right for me to think this way on behalf of all of you, because I have you in my heart, because both in my bonds and in the defense and confirmation of the Good News, you all are partakers with me of grace.
8 Свидѣ́тель бо мѝ є҆́сть бг҃ъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ люблю̀ всѣ́хъ ва́съ по млⷭ҇ти і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́вѣ:
8 For God is my witness, how I long after all of you in the tender mercies of Christ Jesus.
9 и҆ ѡ҆ се́мъ молю́сѧ, да любо́вь ва́ша є҆щѐ па́че и҆ па́че и҆збы́точествꙋетъ въ ра́зꙋмѣ и҆ во всѧ́цѣмъ чꙋ́вствїи,
9 This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment,
10 во є҆́же и҆скꙋша́ти ва́мъ лꙋ̑чшаѧ, да бꙋ́дете чи́сти и҆ непреткнове́нни въ де́нь хрⷭ҇то́въ,
10 so that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ,
11 и҆спо́лнени плодѡ́въ пра́вды і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́мъ, въ сла́вꙋ и҆ похвалꙋ̀ бж҃їю.
11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.
12 Разꙋмѣ́ти же хощꙋ̀ ва́мъ, бра́тїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ па́че во ᲂу҆спѣ́хъ бл҃говѣствова́нїѧ прїидо́ша,
12 Now I desire to have you know, brothers, that the things which happened to me have turned out rather to the progress of the Good News,
13 ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́зы моѧ̑ ꙗ҆влє́нны ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ бы́ша во все́мъ сꙋди́щи и҆ въ про́чихъ всѣ́хъ,
13 so that it became evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my bonds are in Christ,
14 и҆ мно́жайшїи бра́тїѧ ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ, надѣ́ѧвшїисѧ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆́захъ мои́хъ, па́че дерза́ютъ без̾ стра́ха сло́во бж҃їе глаго́лати.
14 and that most of the brothers in the Lord, being confident through my bonds, are more abundantly bold to speak the word of God without fear.
15 Нѣ́цыи ᲂу҆́бѡ по за́висти и҆ ре́вности, дрꙋзі́и же и҆ за благоволе́нїе хрⷭ҇та̀ проповѣ́даютъ:
15 Some indeed preach Christ even out of envy and strife, and some also out of good will.
16 ѻ҆́ви ᲂу҆́бѡ ѿ рве́нїѧ хрⷭ҇та̀ возвѣща́ютъ нечи́стѣ, мнѧ́ще печа́ль нанестѝ ᲂу҆́замъ мои̑мъ:
16 The former insincerely preach Christ from selfish ambition, thinking that they add affliction to my chains;
17 ѻ҆́ви же ѿ любвѐ, вѣ́дѧще, ꙗ҆́кѡ во ѿвѣ́тѣ бл҃говѣствова́нїѧ лежꙋ̀.
17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Good News.
18 Что̀ ᲂу҆́бѡ; Ѻ҆ба́че всѧ́цѣмъ ѡ҆́бразомъ, а҆́ще вино́ю, а҆́ще и҆́стиною хрⷭ҇то́съ проповѣ́даемь є҆́сть, и҆ ѡ҆ се́мъ ра́дꙋюсѧ, но и҆ возра́дꙋюсѧ:
18 What does it matter? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, yes, and will rejoice.
19 вѣ́мъ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ сїѐ сбꙋ́детсѧ мѝ во спⷭ҇нїе ва́шею моли́твою и҆ подаѧ́нїемъ дх҃а і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́ва,
19 For I know that this will turn out to my salvation through your prayers and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ,
20 по ча́ѧнїю и҆ ᲂу҆пова́нїю моемꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ ни ѡ҆ є҆ди́нѣмъ же постыжꙋ́сѧ, но во всѧ́цѣмъ дерзнове́нїи, ꙗ҆́коже всегда̀, и҆ нн҃ѣ возвели́читсѧ хрⷭ҇то́съ въ тѣ́лѣ мое́мъ, а҆́ще живото́мъ, а҆́ще ли сме́ртїю.
20 according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will in no way be disappointed, but with all boldness, as always, now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
21 Мнѣ́ бо є҆́же жи́ти, хрⷭ҇то́съ, и҆ є҆́же ᲂу҆мре́ти, приѡбрѣ́тенїе (є҆́сть).
21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
22 А҆́ще же, є҆́же жи́ти (мѝ) тѣ́ломъ, сїѐ мнѣ̀ пло́дъ дѣ́ла: и҆ что̀ и҆зво́лю, не вѣ́мъ.
22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.
23 Ѡ҆бдержи́мь же є҆́смь ѿ ѻ҆бою̀, жела́нїе и҆мы́й разрѣши́тисѧ и҆ со хрⷭ҇то́мъ бы́ти, мно́гѡ па́че лꙋ́чше:
23 But I am hard pressed between the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.
24 а҆ є҆́же пребыва́ти во пло́ти, нꙋ́жнѣйше (є҆́сть) ва́съ ра́ди.
24 Yet to remain in the flesh is more needful for your sake.
25 И҆ сїѐ и҆звѣ́стнѣ вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бꙋ́дꙋ и҆ спребꙋ́дꙋ ва́мъ всѣ̑мъ въ ва́шъ ᲂу҆спѣ́хъ и҆ ра́дость вѣ́ры,
25 Having this confidence, I know that I will remain, yes, and remain with you all for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 ꙗ҆́кѡ да похвала̀ ва́ша и҆збы́точествꙋетъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ во мнѣ̀, мои́мъ прише́ствїемъ па́ки къ ва́мъ.
26 that your boasting may abound in Christ Jesus in me through my presence with you again.
27 То́чїю досто́йнѣ бл҃говѣствова́нїю хрⷭ҇то́вꙋ жи́тельствꙋйте, да а҆́ще прише́дъ и҆ ви́дѣвъ ва́съ, а҆́ще и҆ не сы́й ᲂу҆ ва́съ, ᲂу҆слы́шꙋ ꙗ҆̀же ѡ҆ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ (и҆́стиною) стоитѐ во є҆ди́нѣмъ дꙋ́сѣ, и҆ є҆динодꙋ́шнѣ сподвиза́ющесѧ по вѣ́рѣ бл҃говѣствова́нїѧ (во́лею),
27 Only let your way of life be worthy of the Good News of Christ, that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your state, that you stand firm in one spirit, with one soul striving for the faith of the Good News;
28 и҆ не коле́блющесѧ ни ѡ҆ є҆ди́нѣмъ же ѿ сопроти́вныхъ: є҆́же тѣ̑мъ ᲂу҆́бѡ є҆́сть ꙗ҆вле́нїе поги́бели, ва́мъ же спⷭ҇нїѧ. И҆ сїѐ ѿ бг҃а:
28 and in nothing frightened by the adversaries, which is for them a proof of destruction, but to you of salvation, and that from God.
29 ꙗ҆́кѡ ва́мъ дарова́сѧ, є҆́же ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀, не то́кмѡ є҆́же въ него̀ вѣ́ровати, но и҆ є҆́же по не́мъ страда́ти,
29 Because it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ, not only to believe in him, but also to suffer on his behalf,
30 то́йже по́двигъ и҆мꙋ́ще, ꙗ҆ко́въ же во мнѣ̀ ви́дѣсте и҆ нн҃ѣ слы́шите ѡ҆ мнѣ̀.
30 having the same conflict which you saw in me and now hear is in me.

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).
Here, as writing to those of equal honor, he does not set down his rank of Teacher, but another, and that a great one. And what is that? He calls himself a "servant," and not an Apostle.

But the apostle himself also, being one who had been formed in a womb, and had issued thence, wrote to us, and confessed in his Epistle to the Philippians that "to live in the flesh was the fruit of [his] work;" thus expressing himself.
The apostle "desires to depart, and to be with Christ." And, "My soul desired to long for Thy judgments;" or if it is more appropriate to say, "My soul longed to desire Thy judgments." And, "The desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom." Yet there has always obtained the usage of understanding desire and concupiscence in a bad sense if …

For no child, be he never so virtuous, is so desirable and lovely to a father, as the having our portion in those good things, and "to depart and be with Christ." No doubt hell, and that punishment, is a thing not to be borne.

He is called also the Spirit of Christ, as it is written, Searching what or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify; and again, Through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
