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 Молю̀ ᲂу҆̀бо ва́съ, бра́тїе, щедро́тами бж҃їими, предста́вите тѣлеса̀ ва̑ша же́ртвꙋ жи́вꙋ, ст҃ꙋ, бл҃гоꙋго́днꙋ бг҃ови, слове́сное слꙋже́нїе ва́ше,
1 Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.
1 Παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, διὰ τῶν οἰκτιρμῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ, παραστῆσαι τὰ σώματα ὑμῶν θυσίαν ζῶσαν, ἁγίαν, εὐάρεστον τῷ Θεῷ, τὴν λογικὴν λατρείαν ὑμῶν,
2 и҆ не соѡбразꙋ́йтесѧ вѣ́кꙋ семꙋ̀, но преѡбразꙋ́йтесѧ ѡ҆бновле́нїемъ ᲂу҆ма̀ ва́шегѡ, во є҆́же и҆скꙋша́ти ва́мъ, что̀ є҆́сть во́лѧ бж҃їѧ бл҃га́ѧ и҆ ᲂу҆го́днаѧ и҆ соверше́ннаѧ.
2 Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
2 καὶ μὴ συσχηματίζεσθαι τῷ αἰῶνι τούτῳ, ἀλλὰ μεταμορφοῦσθαι τῇ ἀνακαινώσει τοῦ νοὸς ὑμῶν, εἰς τὸ δοκιμάζειν ὑμᾶς τί τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ, τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ εὐάρεστον καὶ τέλειον.
3 Глаго́лю бо блгⷣтїю да́вшеюсѧ мнѣ̀, всѧ́комꙋ сꙋ́щемꙋ въ ва́съ не мꙋ́дрствовати па́че, є҆́же подоба́етъ мꙋ́дрствовати: но мꙋ́дрствовати въ цѣломꙋ́дрїи, коемꙋ́ждо ꙗ҆́коже бг҃ъ раздѣли́лъ є҆́сть мѣ́рꙋ вѣ́ры.
3 For I say through the grace that was given me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of yourself more highly than you ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.
3 Λέγω γὰρ διὰ τῆς χάριτος τῆς δοθείσης μοι παντὶ τῷ ὄντι ἐν ὑμῖν, μὴ ὑπερφρονεῖν παρ᾽ ὃ δεῖ φρονεῖν, ἀλλὰ φρονεῖν εἰς τὸ σωφρονεῖν, ἑκάστῳ ὡς ὁ Θεὸς ἐμέρισε μέτρον πίστεως.
4 Ꙗ҆́коже бо во є҆ди́нѣмъ тѣлесѝ мнѡ́ги ᲂу҆́ды и҆́мамы, ᲂу҆́ды же всѝ не то́жде и҆́мꙋтъ дѣ́ланїе,
4 For even as we have many members in one body, and all the members don’t have the same function,
4 καθάπερ γὰρ ἐν ἑνὶ σώματι μέλη πολλὰ ἔχομεν, τὰ δὲ μέλη πάντα οὐ τὴν αὐτὴν ἔχει πρᾶξιν,
5 та́кожде мно́зи є҆ди́но тѣ́ло є҆смы̀ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀, а҆ по є҆ди́номꙋ дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́гꙋ ᲂу҆́ди.
5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another,
5 οὕτως οἱ πολλοὶ ἓν σῶμά ἐσμεν ἐν Χριστῷ, ὁ δὲ καθ᾽ εἷς ἀλλήλων μέλη.
6 И҆мꙋ́ще же дарова̑нїѧ по блгⷣти да́ннѣй на́мъ разли̑чна: а҆́ще прⷪ҇ро́чество, по мѣ́рѣ вѣ́ры:
6 having gifts differing according to the grace that was given to us: if prophecy, let’s prophesy according to the proportion of our faith;
6 ἔχοντες δὲ χαρίσματα κατὰ τὴν χάριν τὴν δοθεῖσαν ἡμῖν διάφορα, εἴτε προφητείαν, κατὰ τὴν ἀναλογίαν τῆς πίστεως,
7 а҆́ще ли слꙋже́нїе, въ слꙋже́нїи: а҆́ще ᲂу҆чѧ́й, во ᲂу҆че́нїи:
7 or service, let’s give ourselves to service; or he who teaches, to his teaching;
7 εἴτε διακονίαν, ἐν τῇ διακονίᾳ, εἴτε ὁ διδάσκων, ἐν τῇ διδασκαλίᾳ,
8 а҆́ще ᲂу҆тѣша́ѧй, во ᲂу҆тѣше́нїи: подава́ѧй, въ простотѣ̀: предстоѧ́й, со тща́нїемъ: ми́лꙋѧй, съ до́брымъ и҆зволе́нїемъ.
8 or he who exhorts, to his exhorting; he who gives, let him do it with generosity; he who rules, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
8 εἴτε ὁ παρακαλῶν, ἐν τῇ παρακλήσει, ὁ μεταδιδούς, ἐν ἁπλότητι, ὁ προϊστάμενος, ἐν σπουδῇ, ὁ ἐλεῶν, ἐν ἱλαρότητι.
9 Любы̀ нелицемѣ́рна: ненави́дѧще ѕла́гѡ, прилѣплѧ́йтесѧ бл҃го́мꙋ:
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good.
9 Ἡ ἀγάπη ἀνυπόκριτος. ἀποστυγοῦντες τὸ πονηρόν, κολλώμενοι τῷ ἀγαθῷ,
10 братолю́бїемъ дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ любе́зни: че́стїю дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га бо́льша творѧ́ще:
10 In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor prefer one another,
10 τῇ φιλαδελφίᾳ εἰς ἀλλήλους φιλόστοργοι, τῇ τιμῇ ἀλλήλους προηγούμενοι,
11 тща́нїемъ не лѣни́ви, дꙋ́хомъ горѧ́ще, гдⷭ҇еви рабо́тающе:
11 not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord,
11 τῇ σπουδῇ μὴ ὀκνηροί, τῷ πνεύματι ζέοντες, τῷ Κυρίῳ δουλεύοντες,
12 ᲂу҆пова́нїемъ ра́дꙋющесѧ, скѡ́рби терпѧ́ще, въ моли́твѣ пребыва́юще:
12 rejoicing in hope, enduring in troubles, continuing steadfastly in prayer,
12 τῇ ἐλπίδι χαίροντες, τῇ θλίψει ὑπομένοντες, τῇ προσευχῇ προσκαρτεροῦντες,
13 тре́бованїємъ ст҃ы́хъ приѡбща́ющесѧ, страннолю́бїѧ держа́щесѧ:
13 contributing to the needs of the saints, and given to hospitality.
13 ταῖς χρείαις τῶν ἁγίων κοινωνοῦντες, τὴν φιλοξενίαν διώκοντες.
14 благословлѧ́йте гонѧ́щыѧ вы̀: благослови́те, а҆ не клени́те.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless, and don’t curse.
14 εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς διώκοντας ὑμᾶς, εὐλογεῖτε καὶ μὴ καταρᾶσθε.
15 Ра́доватисѧ съ ра́дꙋющимисѧ, и҆ пла́кати съ пла́чꙋщими.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep.
15 χαίρειν μετὰ χαιρόντων καὶ κλαίειν μετὰ κλαιόντων.
16 То́жде дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ мꙋ́дрствꙋюще: не высѡ́каѧ мꙋ́дрствꙋюще, но смире́нными ведꙋ́щесѧ: не быва́йте мꙋ́дри ѡ҆ себѣ̀:
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.
16 τὸ αὐτὸ εἰς ἀλλήλους φρονοῦντες. μὴ τὰ ὑψηλὰ φρονοῦντες, ἀλλὰ τοῖς ταπεινοῖς συναπαγόμενοι. μὴ γίνεσθε φρόνιμοι παρ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς.
17 ни є҆ди́номꙋ же ѕла̀ за ѕло̀ воздаю́ще, промышлѧ́юще дѡ́браѧ пред̾ всѣ́ми человѣ̑ки.
17 Repay no one evil for evil. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men.
17 μηδενὶ κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ ἀποδιδόντες. προνοούμενοι καλὰ ἐνώπιον πάντων ἀνθρώπων·
18 А҆́ще возмо́жно, є҆́же ѿ ва́съ, со всѣ́ми человѣ̑ки ми́ръ и҆мѣ́йте.
18 If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men.
18 εἰ δυνατόν, τὸ ἐξ ὑμῶν μετὰ πάντων ἀνθρώπων εἰρηνεύοντες.
19 Не себѐ ѿмща́юще, возлю́бленнїи, но дади́те мѣ́сто гнѣ́вꙋ. Пи́сано бо є҆́сть: мнѣ̀ ѿмще́нїе, а҆́зъ возда́мъ, гл҃етъ гдⷭ҇ь.
19 Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, “Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.”
19 μὴ ἑαυτοὺς ἐκδικοῦντες, ἀγαπητοί, ἀλλὰ δότε τόπον τῇ ὀργῇ· γέγραπται γάρ· ἐμοὶ ἐκδίκησις, ἐγὼ ἀνταποδώσω, λέγει Κύριος.
20 А҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо а҆́лчетъ вра́гъ тво́й, ᲂу҆хлѣ́би є҆го̀: а҆́ще ли жа́ждетъ, напо́й є҆го̀: сїе́ бо творѧ̀, ᲂу҆́глїе ѻ҆́гнено собира́еши на главꙋ̀ є҆гѡ̀.
20 Therefore “If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.”
20 ἐὰν οὖν πεινᾷ ὁ ἐχθρός σου, ψώμιζε αὐτόν, ἐὰν διψᾷ, πότιζε αὐτόν· τοῦτο γὰρ ποιῶν ἄνθρακας πυρὸς σωρεύσεις ἐπὶ τὴν κεφαλὴν αὐτοῦ.
21 Не побѣжде́нъ быва́й ѿ ѕла̀, но побѣжда́й бл҃ги́мъ ѕло́е.
21 Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
21 μὴ νικῶ ὑπὸ τοῦ κακοῦ, ἀλλὰ νίκα ἐν τῷ ἀγαθῷ τὸ κακόν.

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).
After discoursing at large upon the love of God toward man, and pointing out His unspeakable concern for us, and unutterable goodness, which cannot even be searched into, he next puts it forward with a view of persuading those who have received the benefit to exhibit a conversation worthy of the gift.

Why do we divide and tear to pieces the members of Christ, and raise up strife against our own body, and have reached such a height of madness as to forget that "we are members one of another?" Remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, how He said, "Woe to that man [by whom offences come]!
… pride, nor should we tempt God, but should feel humility in all things, and have ready to hand [this saying], "Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God." As also the apostle taught, saying, "Minding not high things, but consenting to things of low estate;" that we should neither be ensnared with riches, nor mundane glory, nor present fancy, but …
… this custom had it been forbidden by another whom she loved not as Ambrose, whom, out of regard for my salvation, she loved most dearly; and he loved her truly, on account of her most religious conversation, whereby, in good works so "fervent in spirit," she frequented the church; so that he would often, when he saw me, burst forth …

When we do so as avenging ourselves: which Paul also forbidding, said "Avenge not yourselves, dearly beloved, but rather give place unto wrath." When we are contending for riches: yea, for this hath he also taken away, where he saith, "Why do ye not rather take wrong?
