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 И҆лѝ не разꙋмѣ́ете, бра́тїе: вѣ́дꙋщымъ бо зако́нъ глаго́лю: ꙗ҆́кѡ зако́нъ ѡ҆блада́етъ над̾ человѣ́комъ, во є҆ли́ко вре́мѧ живе́тъ;
1 Ἢ ἀγνοεῖτε, ἀδελφοί· γινώσκουσι γὰρ νόμον λαλῶ· ὅτι ὁ νόμος κυριεύει τοῦ ἀνθρώπου ἐφ᾽ ὅσον χρόνον ζῇ;
2 И҆́бо мꙋжа́таѧ жена̀ жи́вꙋ мꙋ́жꙋ привѧ́зана є҆́сть зако́номъ: а҆́ще ли же ᲂу҆́мретъ мꙋ́жъ є҆ѧ̀, разрѣши́тсѧ ѿ зако́на мꙋ́жескагѡ.
2 ἡ γὰρ ὕπανδρος γυνὴ τῷ ζῶντι ἀνδρὶ δέδεται νόμῳ· ἐὰν δὲ ἀποθάνῃ ὁ ἀνήρ, κατήργηται ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τοῦ ἀνδρός.
3 Тѣ́мже ᲂу҆̀бо, жи́вꙋ сꙋ́щꙋ мꙋ́жꙋ, прелюбодѣ́йца быва́етъ, а҆́ще бꙋ́детъ мꙋ́жеви и҆но́мꙋ: а҆́ще ли ᲂу҆́мретъ мꙋ́жъ є҆ѧ̀, свобо́дна є҆́сть ѿ зако́на, не бы́ти є҆́й прелюбодѣ́йцѣ, бы́вшей мꙋ́жꙋ и҆но́мꙋ.
3 ἄρα οὖν ζῶντος τοῦ ἀνδρὸς μοιχαλὶς χρηματίσει ἐὰν γένηται ἀνδρὶ ἑτέρῳ· ἐὰν δὲ ἀποθάνῃ ὁ ἀνήρ, ἐλευθέρα ἐστὶν ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου, τοῦ μὴ εἶναι αὐτὴν μοιχαλίδα γενομένην ἀνδρὶ ἑτέρῳ.
4 Тѣ́мже, бра́тїе моѧ̑, и҆ вы̀ ᲂу҆мро́сте зако́нꙋ тѣ́ломъ хрⷭ҇то́вымъ, во є҆́же бы́ти ва́мъ и҆но́мꙋ, воста́вшемꙋ и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ, да пло́дъ принесе́мъ бг҃ови.
4 ὥστε, ἀδελφοί μου, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἐθανατώθητε τῷ νόμῳ διὰ τοῦ σώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ εἰς τὸ γενέσθαι ὑμᾶς ἑτέρῳ, τῷ ἐκ νεκρῶν ἐγερθέντι, ἵνα καρποφορήσωμεν τῷ Θεῷ.
5 Є҆гда́ бо бѣ́хомъ во пло́ти, стра̑сти грѣхѡ́вныѧ, ꙗ҆̀же зако́номъ, дѣ́йствовахꙋ во ᲂу҆́дѣхъ на́шихъ, во є҆́же пло́дъ твори́ти сме́рти:
5 ὅτε γὰρ ἦμεν ἐν τῇ σαρκί, τὰ παθήματα τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν τὰ διὰ τοῦ νόμου ἐνηργεῖτο ἐν τοῖς μέλεσιν ἡμῶν εἰς τὸ καρποφορῆσαι τῷ θανάτῳ·
6 нн҃ѣ же ᲂу҆праздни́хомсѧ ѿ зако́на, ᲂу҆ме́рше, и҆́мже держи́ми бѣ́хомъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ рабо́тати на́мъ (бг҃ови) во ѡ҆бновле́нїи дꙋ́ха, а҆ не въ ве́тхости пи́смене.
6 νυνὶ δὲ κατηργήθημεν ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου, ἀποθανόντες ἐν ᾧ κατειχόμεθα, ὥστε δουλεύειν ἡμᾶς ἐν καινότητι πνεύματος καὶ οὐ παλαιότητι γράμματος.
7 Что̀ ᲂу҆̀бо рече́мъ; зако́нъ ли грѣ́хъ; Да не бꙋ́детъ: но грѣха̀ не зна́хъ, то́чїю зако́номъ: по́хоти же не вѣ́дахъ, а҆́ще не бы̀ зако́нъ глаго́лалъ: не похо́щеши.
7 Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν; ὁ νόμος ἁμαρτία; μὴ γένοιτο· ἀλλὰ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ ἔγνων εἰ μὴ διὰ νόμου· τήν τε γὰρ ἐπιθυμίαν οὐκ ᾔδειν εἰ μὴ ὁ νόμος ἔλεγεν, οὐκ ἐπιθυμήσεις·
8 Винꙋ́ же прїе́мъ грѣ́хъ за́повѣдїю, содѣ́ла во мнѣ̀ всѧ́кꙋ по́хоть: без̾ зако́на бо грѣ́хъ ме́ртвъ є҆́сть.
8 ἀφορμὴν δὲ λαβοῦσα ἡ ἁμαρτία διὰ τῆς ἐντολῆς κατειργάσατο ἐν ἐμοὶ πᾶσαν ἐπιθυμίαν· χωρὶς γὰρ νόμου ἁμαρτία νεκρά.
9 А҆́зъ же живѧ́хъ кромѣ̀ зако́на и҆ногда̀: прише́дшей же за́повѣди, грѣ́хъ ᲂу҆́бѡ ѡ҆живѐ,
9 ἐγὼ δὲ ἔζων χωρὶς νόμου ποτέ· ἐλθούσης δὲ τῆς ἐντολῆς ἡ ἁμαρτία ἀνέζησεν,
10 а҆́зъ же ᲂу҆мро́хъ: и҆ ѡ҆брѣ́тесѧ мѝ за́повѣдь, ꙗ҆́же въ живо́тъ, сїѧ̀ въ сме́рть,
10 ἐγὼ δὲ ἀπέθανον, καὶ εὑρέθη μοι ἡ ἐντολὴ ἡ εἰς ζωήν, αὕτη εἰς θάνατον·
11 грѣ́хъ бо винꙋ̀ прїе́мъ за́повѣдїю, прельсти́ мѧ, и҆ то́ю ᲂу҆мертви́ мѧ.
11 ἡ γὰρ ἁμαρτία ἀφορμὴν λαβοῦσα διὰ τῆς ἐντολῆς ἐξηπάτησέ με καὶ διὰ αὐτῆς ἀπέκτεινεν.
12 Тѣ́мже ᲂу҆̀бо зако́нъ ст҃ъ, и҆ за́повѣдь ст҃а и҆ првⷣна и҆ бл҃га̀.
12 ὥστε ὁ μὲν νόμος ἅγιος, καὶ ἡ ἐντολὴ ἁγία καὶ δικαία καὶ ἀγαθή.
13 Бл҃го́е ли ᲂу҆̀бо бы́сть мнѣ̀ сме́рть; Да не бꙋ́детъ: но грѣ́хъ, да ꙗ҆ви́тсѧ грѣ́хъ, бл҃ги́мъ мѝ содѣва́ѧ сме́рть, да бꙋ́детъ по премно́гꙋ грѣ́шенъ грѣ́хъ за́повѣдїю.
13 τὸ οὖν ἀγαθὸν ἐμοὶ γέγονε θάνατος; μὴ γένοιτο· ἀλλὰ ἡ ἁμαρτία, ἵνα φανῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ, διὰ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ μοι κατεργαζομένη θάνατον, ἵνα γένηται καθ᾽ ὑπερβολὴν ἁμαρτωλὸς ἡ ἁμαρτία διὰ τῆς ἐντολῆς.
14 Вѣ́мы бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ зако́нъ дꙋхо́венъ є҆́сть: а҆́зъ же пло́тѧнъ є҆́смь, про́данъ под̾ грѣ́хъ.
14 Οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι ὁ νόμος πνευματικός ἐστιν· ἐγὼ δὲ σαρκικός εἰμι, πεπραμένος ὑπὸ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν.
15 Є҆́же бо содѣва́ю, не разꙋмѣ́ю: не є҆́же бо хощꙋ̀, сїѐ творю̀, но є҆́же ненави́ждꙋ, то̀ содѣ́ловаю.
15 ὃ γὰρ κατεργάζομαι οὐ γινώσκω· οὐ γὰρ ὃ θέλω τοῦτο πράσσω, ἀλλ᾽ ὃ μισῶ τοῦτο ποιῶ.
16 А҆́ще ли, є҆́же не хощꙋ̀, сїѐ творю̀, хвалю̀ зако́нъ ꙗ҆́кѡ до́бръ,
16 εἰ δὲ ὃ οὐ θέλω τοῦτο ποιῶ, σύμφημι τῷ νόμῳ ὅτι καλός.
17 нн҃ѣ же не ктомꙋ̀ а҆́зъ сїѐ содѣва́ю, но живы́й во мнѣ̀ грѣ́хъ.
17 νυνὶ δὲ οὐκέτι ἐγὼ κατεργάζομαι αὐτό, ἀλλ᾽ ἡ οἰκοῦσα ἐν ἐμοὶ ἁμαρτία.
18 Вѣ́мъ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ не живе́тъ во мнѣ̀, си́рѣчь во пло́ти мое́й, до́брое: є҆́же бо хотѣ́ти прилежи́тъ мѝ, а҆ є҆́же содѣ́ѧти до́брое, не ѡ҆брѣта́ю.
18 οἶδα γὰρ ὅτι οὐκ οἰκεῖ ἐν ἐμοί, τοῦτ᾽ ἔστιν ἐν τῇ σαρκί μου, ἀγαθόν· τὸ γὰρ θέλειν παράκειταί μοι, τὸ δὲ κατεργάζεσθαι τὸ καλὸν οὐχ εὑρίσκω·
19 Не є҆́же бо хощꙋ̀ до́брое, творю̀, но є҆́же не хощꙋ̀ ѕло́е, сїѐ содѣва́ю.
19 οὐ γὰρ ὃ θέλω ποιῶ ἀγαθόν, ἀλλ᾽ ὃ οὐ θέλω κακὸν τοῦτο πράσσω.
20 А҆́ще ли, є҆́же не хощꙋ̀ а҆́зъ, сїѐ творю̀, ᲂу҆жѐ не а҆́зъ сїѐ творю̀, но живы́й во мнѣ̀ грѣ́хъ.
20 εἰ δὲ ὃ οὐ θέλω ἐγὼ τοῦτο ποιῶ, οὐκέτι ἐγὼ κατεργάζομαι αὐτό, ἀλλ᾽ ἡ οἰκοῦσα ἐν ἐμοὶ ἁμαρτία.
21 Ѡ҆брѣта́ю ᲂу҆̀бо зако́нъ, хотѧ́щꙋ мѝ твори́ти до́брое, ꙗ҆́кѡ мнѣ̀ ѕло́е прилежи́тъ.
21 εὑρίσκω ἄρα τὸν νόμον τῷ θέλοντι ἐμοὶ ποιεῖν τὸ καλόν, ὅτι ἐμοὶ τὸ κακὸν παράκειται·
22 Соꙋслажда́юсѧ бо зако́нꙋ бж҃їю по внꙋ́треннемꙋ человѣ́кꙋ:
22 συνήδομαι γὰρ τῷ νόμῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ κατὰ τὸν ἔσω ἄνθρωπον,
23 ви́ждꙋ же и҆́нъ зако́нъ во ᲂу҆́дѣхъ мои́хъ, проти́вꙋ вою́ющь зако́нꙋ ᲂу҆ма̀ моегѡ̀ и҆ плѣнѧ́ющь мѧ̀ зако́номъ грѣхо́внымъ, сꙋ́щимъ во ᲂу҆́дѣхъ мои́хъ.
23 βλέπω δὲ ἕτερον νόμον ἐν τοῖς μέλεσί μου ἀντιστρατευόμενον τῷ νόμῳ τοῦ νοός μου καὶ αἰχμαλωτίζοντά με [ἐν] τῷ νόμῳ τῆς ἁμαρτίας τῷ ὄντι ἐν τοῖς μέλεσί μου.
24 Ѡ҆каѧ́ненъ а҆́зъ человѣ́къ: кто́ мѧ и҆зба́витъ ѿ тѣ́ла сме́рти сеѧ̀;
24 Ταλαίπωρος ἐγὼ ἄνθρωπος! τίς με ῥύσεται ἐκ τοῦ σώματος τοῦ θανάτου τούτου;
25 Благодарю̀ бг҃а моего̀ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́мъ гдⷭ҇емъ на́шимъ. Тѣ́мже ᲂу҆̀бо са́мъ а҆́зъ ᲂу҆мо́мъ мои́мъ рабо́таю зако́нꙋ бж҃їю, пло́тїю же зако́нꙋ грѣхо́вномꙋ.
25 εὐχαριστῶ τῷ Θεῷ διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν. ἄρα οὖν αὐτὸς ἐγὼ τῷ μὲν νοῒ δουλεύω νόμῳ Θεοῦ, τῇ δὲ σαρκὶ νόμῳ ἁμαρτίας.

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 having said that great evils had taken place, and that sin, taking occasion by the commandment, had grown stronger, and the opposite of what the Law mainly aimed at had been the result, and after having thrown the hearer into a great deal of perplexity, he goes on next to give the rationale of these events, after first clearing …

… sign of our salvation, since it was the Lord Himself who saved them, because they could not be saved by their own instrumentality; and, therefore, when Paul sets forth human infirmity, he says: "For I know that there dwelleth in my flesh no good thing," showing that the "good thing" of our salvation is not from us, but from God.
For though a man "delight in the law of God after the inward man," what shall he do with that other law in his members which warreth against the law of his mind, and bringeth him into captivity to the law of sin, which is in his members?

The Devil had used the flesh as an instrument against us; and Paul knowing this, saith, But I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity, and the rest.

And again: "Wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" Then he introduces the Deliverer, [saying,] "The grace of Jesus Christ our Lord." And Isaiah declares this also, [when he says:] "Be ye strengthened, ye hands that hang down, and ye feeble knees; be ye encouraged, ye feeble-minded; be comforted, fear not: behold, …
