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, ра́бъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ, зва́нъ а҆пⷭ҇лъ, и҆збра́нъ въ бл҃говѣ́стїе бж҃їе,
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
2 є҆́же пре́жде ѡ҆бѣща̀ прⷪ҇рѡ́ки свои́ми въ писа́нїихъ ст҃ы́хъ,
2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
3 ѡ҆ сн҃ѣ свое́мъ, бы́вшемъ ѿ сѣ́мене дв҃дова по пл҃ти,
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
4 нарече́ннѣмъ сн҃ѣ бж҃їи въ си́лѣ, по дх҃ꙋ ст҃ы́ни, и҆з̾ воскрⷭ҇нїѧ ѿ ме́ртвыхъ, і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ,
4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
5 и҆́мже прїѧ́хомъ блгⷣть и҆ а҆пⷭ҇льство въ послꙋша́нїе вѣ́ры во всѣ́хъ ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ, ѡ҆ и҆́мени є҆гѡ̀,
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake;
6 въ ни́хже є҆стѐ и҆ вы̀, зва́ни і҆и҃сꙋ хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀:
6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
7 всѣ̑мъ сꙋ́щымъ въ ри́мѣ возлю́блєннымъ бг҃ꙋ, зва̑ннымъ ст҃ы̑мъ: блгⷣть ва́мъ и҆ ми́ръ ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ на́шегѡ, и҆ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀.
7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Пе́рвое ᲂу҆́бѡ благодарю̀ бг҃а моего̀ і҆и҃сомъ хрⷭ҇то́мъ ѡ҆ всѣ́хъ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ́ра ва́ша возвѣща́етсѧ во все́мъ мі́рѣ:
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
9 свидѣ́тель бо мѝ є҆́сть бг҃ъ, є҆мꙋ́же слꙋжꙋ̀ дꙋ́хомъ мои́мъ во бл҃говѣствова́нїи сн҃а є҆гѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ безпреста́ни па́мѧть ѡ҆ ва́съ творю̀,
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
10 всегда̀ въ моли́твахъ мои́хъ молѧ́сѧ, а҆́ще ᲂу҆́бѡ когда̀ поспѣ́шенъ бꙋ́дꙋ во́лею бж҃їею прїитѝ къ ва́мъ:
10 requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
11 жела́ю бо ви́дѣти ва́съ, да нѣ́кое пода́мъ ва́мъ дарова́нїе дꙋхо́вное, ко ᲂу҆твержде́нїю ва́шемꙋ:
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;
12 сїе́ же є҆́сть, соꙋтѣ́шитисѧ въ ва́съ вѣ́рою ѻ҆́бщею, ва́шею же и҆ мое́ю.
12 that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
13 Не хощꙋ́ же не вѣ́дѣти ва́мъ, бра́тїе, ꙗ҆́кѡ мно́жицею восхотѣ́хъ прїитѝ къ ва́мъ, и҆ возбране́нъ бы́хъ досе́лѣ, да нѣ́кїй пло́дъ и҆мѣ́ю и҆ въ ва́съ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ въ про́чихъ ꙗ҆зы́цѣхъ.
13 Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (and was hindered so far), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.
14 Є҆́ллинѡмъ же и҆ ва́рвавѡмъ, мꙋ̑дрымъ же и҆ неразꙋ̑мнымъ до́лженъ є҆́смь:
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15 та́кѡ є҆́сть, є҆́же по моемꙋ̀ ᲂу҆се́рдїю и҆ ва́мъ сꙋ́щымъ въ ри́мѣ благовѣсти́ти.
15 So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
16 Не стыжꙋ́сѧ бо бл҃говѣствова́нїемъ хрⷭ҇то́вымъ: си́ла бо бж҃їѧ є҆́сть во спⷭ҇нїе всѧ́комꙋ вѣ́рꙋющемꙋ, і҆ꙋде́ови же пре́жде и҆ є҆́ллинꙋ.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
17 Пра́вда бо бж҃їѧ въ не́мъ ꙗ҆влѧ́етсѧ ѿ вѣ́ры въ вѣ́рꙋ, ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано: првⷣный же ѿ вѣ́ры жи́въ бꙋ́детъ.
17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
18 Ѿкрыва́етсѧ бо гнѣ́въ бж҃їй съ нб҃сѐ на всѧ́кое нече́стїе и҆ непра́вдꙋ человѣ́кѡвъ, содержа́щихъ и҆́стинꙋ въ непра́вдѣ:
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 занѐ разꙋ́мное бж҃їе ꙗ҆́вѣ є҆́сть въ ни́хъ, бг҃ъ бо ꙗ҆ви́лъ є҆́сть и҆̀мъ:
19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.
20 неви̑димаѧ бо є҆гѡ̀, ѿ созда́нїѧ мі́ра творе́ньми помышлѧ́єма, ви̑дима сꙋ́ть, и҆ прⷭ҇носꙋ́щнаѧ си́ла є҆гѡ̀ и҆ бжⷭ҇тво̀, во є҆́же бы́ти и҆̀мъ без̾ѿвѣ̑тнымъ.
20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.
21 Зане́же разꙋмѣ́вше бг҃а, не ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃а просла́виша и҆лѝ благодари́ша, но ѡ҆сꙋети́шасѧ помышлє́нїи свои́ми, и҆ ѡ҆мрачи́сѧ неразꙋ́мное и҆́хъ се́рдце:
21 Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.
22 глаго́лющесѧ бы́ти мꙋ́дри, ѡ҆б̾юродѣ́ша
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 и҆ и҆змѣни́ша сла́вꙋ нетлѣ́ннагѡ бг҃а въ подо́бїе ѡ҆́браза тлѣ́нна человѣ́ка и҆ пти́цъ и҆ четверонѡ́гъ и҆ га̑дъ:
23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.
24 тѣ́мже и҆ предадѐ и҆̀хъ бг҃ъ въ по́хотехъ серде́цъ и҆́хъ въ нечистотꙋ̀, во є҆́же скверни́тисѧ тѣлесє́мъ и҆́хъ въ себѣ̀ самѣ́хъ:
24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;
25 и҆̀же премѣни́ша и҆́стинꙋ бж҃їю во лжꙋ̀, и҆ почто́ша и҆ послꙋжи́ша тва́ри па́че творца̀, и҆́же є҆́сть блгⷭ҇ве́нъ во вѣ́ки, а҆ми́нь.
25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
26 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди предадѐ и҆̀хъ бг҃ъ въ стра̑сти безче́стїѧ: и҆ жєны́ бо и҆́хъ и҆змѣни́ша є҆сте́ственнꙋю подо́бꙋ въ през̾есте́ственнꙋю:
26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.
27 та́кожде и҆ мꙋ́жїе, ѡ҆ста́вльше є҆сте́ственнꙋю подо́бꙋ же́нска по́ла, разжего́шасѧ по́хотїю свое́ю дрꙋ́гъ на дрꙋ́га, мꙋ́жи на мꙋже́хъ стꙋ́дъ содѣва́юще, и҆ возме́здїе, є҆́же подоба́ше пре́лести и҆́хъ, въ себѣ̀ воспрїе́млюще.
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
28 И҆ ꙗ҆́коже не и҆скꙋси́ша и҆мѣ́ти бг҃а въ ра́зꙋмѣ, (сегѡ̀ ра́ди) предадѐ и҆̀хъ бг҃ъ въ неискꙋ́сенъ ᲂу҆́мъ, твори́ти неподѡ́бнаѧ,
28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29 и҆спо́лненыхъ всѧ́кїѧ непра́вды, блꙋже́нїѧ, лꙋка́вства, лихоима́нїѧ, ѕло́бы: и҆спо́лненыхъ за́висти, ᲂу҆бі́йства, рве́нїѧ, льстѝ, ѕлонра́вїѧ:
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
30 шепотникѝ, клеветникѝ, богомє́рзки, досади́тєли, велича̑вы, гѡ́рды, ѡ҆брѣта́тєли ѕлы́хъ, роди́телємъ непокори̑вы,
30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 неразꙋ̑мны, непримири́тєльны, нелюбѡ́вны, неклѧтвохрани́тєльны, неми́лѡстивны.
31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;
32 Нѣ́цыи же и҆ ѡ҆правда́нїе бж҃їе разꙋмѣ́вше, ꙗ҆́кѡ такѡва́ѧ творѧ́щїи досто́йни сме́рти сꙋ́ть, не то́чїю са́ми творѧ́тъ, но и҆ соизволѧ́ютъ творѧ́щымъ.
32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

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).
Moses having written five books, has nowhere put his own name to them, neither have they who after him put together the history of events after him, no nor yet has Matthew, nor John, nor Mark, nor Luke; but the blessed Paul everywhere in his Epistles sets his own name. Now why was this?

… the holy Scriptures, concerning His Son, who was made to Him of the seed of David according to the flesh, who was predestinated the Son of God with power through the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead of our Lord Jesus Christ." And again, writing to the Romans about Israel, he says: "Whose are the fathers, and …

And, "That the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness, and unrighteousness of men," and, "indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile." And yet countless were the evils which the Gentiles have suffered in this world, and this is declared alike …
