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 Ни є҆ди́но ᲂу҆̀бо нн҃ѣ ѡ҆сꙋжде́нїе сꙋ́щымъ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ, не по пло́ти ходѧ́щымъ, но по дꙋ́хꙋ:
1 Οὐδὲν ἄρα νῦν κατάκριμα τοῖς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ πνεῦμα.
2 зако́нъ бо дꙋ́ха жи́зни ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ свободи́лъ мѧ̀ є҆́сть ѿ зако́на грѣхо́внагѡ и҆ сме́рти.
2 ὁ γὰρ νόμος τοῦ πνεύματος τῆς ζωῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ ἠλευθέρωσέ με ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου τῆς ἁμαρτίας καὶ τοῦ θανάτου.
3 Немощно́е бо зако́на, въ не́мже немоществова́ше пло́тїю, бг҃ъ сн҃а своего̀ посла̀ въ подо́бїи пло́ти грѣха̀, и҆ ѡ҆ грѣсѣ̀ ѡ҆сꙋдѝ грѣ́хъ во пло́ти,
3 τὸ γὰρ ἀδύνατον τοῦ νόμου, ἐν ᾧ ἠσθένει διὰ τῆς σαρκός, ὁ Θεὸς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ υἱὸν πέμψας ἐν ὁμοιώματι σαρκὸς ἁμαρτίας καὶ περὶ ἁμαρτίας, κατέκρινε τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἐν τῇ σαρκί,
4 да ѡ҆правда́нїе зако́на и҆спо́лнитсѧ въ на́съ, не по пло́ти ходѧ́щихъ, но по дꙋ́хꙋ.
4 ἵνα τὸ δικαίωμα τοῦ νόμου πληρωθῇ ἐν ἡμῖν τοῖς μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ πνεῦμα·
5 Сꙋ́щїи бо по пло́ти плотска̑ѧ мꙋ́дрствꙋютъ: а҆ и҆̀же по дꙋ́хꙋ, дꙋхѡ́внаѧ.
5 οἱ γὰρ κατὰ σάρκα ὄντες τὰ τῆς σαρκὸς φρονοῦσιν, οἱ δὲ κατὰ πνεῦμα τὰ τοῦ πνεύματος.
6 Мꙋдрова́нїе бо плотско́е сме́рть є҆́сть, а҆ мꙋдрова́нїе дꙋхо́вное живо́тъ и҆ ми́ръ,
6 τὸ γὰρ φρόνημα τῆς σαρκὸς θάνατος, τὸ δὲ φρόνημα τοῦ πνεύματος ζωὴ καὶ εἰρήνη· διότι τὸ φρόνημα τῆς σαρκὸς ἔχθρα εἰς Θεόν·
7 занѐ мꙋдрова́нїе плотско́е вражда̀ на бг҃а: зако́нꙋ бо бж҃їю не покарѧ́етсѧ, ниже́ бо мо́жетъ.
7 τῷ γὰρ νόμῳ τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐχ ὑποτάσσεται· οὐδὲ γὰρ δύναται·
8 Сꙋ́щїи же во пло́ти бг҃ꙋ ᲂу҆годи́ти не мо́гꙋтъ.
8 οἱ δὲ ἐν σαρκὶ ὄντες Θεῷ ἀρέσαι οὐ δύνανται.
9 Вы́ же нѣ́сте во пло́ти, но въ дꙋ́сѣ, поне́же дх҃ъ бж҃їй живе́тъ въ ва́съ. А҆́ще же кто̀ дх҃а хрⷭ҇то́ва не и҆́мать, се́й нѣ́сть є҆гѡ́въ.
9 ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σαρκί, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν πνεύματι, εἴπερ Πνεῦμα Θεοῦ οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν. εἰ δέ τις Πνεῦμα Χριστοῦ οὐκ ἔχει, οὗτος οὐκ ἔστιν αὐτοῦ.
10 А҆́ще же хрⷭ҇то́съ въ ва́съ, пло́ть ᲂу҆́бѡ мертва̀ грѣха̀ ра́ди, дꙋ́хъ же живе́тъ пра́вды ра́ди.
10 εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς ἐν ὑμῖν, τὸ μὲν σῶμα νεκρὸν δι᾽ ἁμαρτίαν, τὸ δὲ πνεῦμα ζωὴ διὰ δικαιοσύνην.
11 А҆́ще ли же дх҃ъ воскр҃си́вшагѡ і҆и҃са ѿ ме́ртвыхъ живе́тъ въ ва́съ, воздви́гїй хрⷭ҇та̀ и҆з̾ ме́ртвыхъ ѡ҆животвори́тъ и҆ ме́ртвєннаѧ тѣлеса̀ ва́ша, живꙋ́щимъ дх҃омъ є҆гѡ̀ въ ва́съ.
11 εἰ δὲ τὸ Πνεῦμα τοῦ ἐγείραντος Ἰησοῦν ἐκ νεκρῶν οἰκεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν, ὁ ἐγείρας τὸν Χριστὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ζωοποιήσει καὶ τὰ θνητὰ σώματα ὑμῶν διὰ τὸ ἐνοικοῦν αὐτοῦ Πνεῦμα ἐν ὑμῖν.
12 Тѣ́мже ᲂу҆̀бо, бра́тїе, до́лжни є҆смы̀ не пло́ти, є҆́же по пло́ти жи́ти.
12 Ἄρα οὖν, ἀδελφοί, ὀφειλέται ἐσμὲν οὐ τῇ σαρκὶ τοῦ κατὰ σάρκα ζῆν·
13 А҆́ще бо по пло́ти живе́те, и҆́мате ᲂу҆мре́ти, а҆́ще ли дꙋ́хомъ дѣѧ̑нїѧ плотска̑ѧ ᲂу҆мерщвлѧ́ете, жи́ви бꙋ́дете:
13 εἰ γὰρ κατὰ σάρκα ζῆτε, μέλλετε ἀποθνήσκειν· εἰ δὲ Πνεύματι τὰς πράξεις τοῦ σώματος θανατοῦτε, ζήσεσθε.
14 є҆ли́цы бо дх҃омъ бж҃їимъ во́дѧтсѧ, сі́и сꙋ́ть сн҃ове бж҃їи:
14 ὅσοι γὰρ Πνεύματι Θεοῦ ἄγονται, οὗτοί εἰσιν υἱοὶ Θεοῦ.
15 не прїѧ́сте бо дꙋ́ха рабо́ты па́ки въ боѧ́знь, но прїѧ́сте дх҃а сн҃оположе́нїѧ, ѡ҆ не́мже вопїе́мъ: а҆́вва ѻ҆́ч҃е.
15 οὐ γὰρ ἐλάβετε Πνεῦμα δουλείας πάλιν εἰς φόβον, ἀλλ᾽ ἐλάβετε Πνεῦμα υἱοθεσίας, ἐν ᾧ κράζομεν· ἀββᾶ ὁ πατήρ.
16 Са́мый дх҃ъ спослꙋшествꙋ́етъ дꙋ́хови на́шемꙋ, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆смы̀ ча̑да бж҃їѧ.
16 αὐτὸ τὸ Πνεῦμα συμμαρτυρεῖ τῷ πνεύματι ἡμῶν ὅτι ἐσμὲν τέκνα Θεοῦ.
17 А҆́ще же ча́да, и҆ наслѣ̑дницы: наслѣ̑дницы ᲂу҆́бѡ бг҃ꙋ, снаслѣ̑дницы же хрⷭ҇тꙋ̀, поне́же съ ни́мъ стра́ждемъ, да и҆ съ ни́мъ просла́вимсѧ.
17 εἰ δὲ τέκνα, καὶ κληρονόμοι, κληρονόμοι μὲν Θεοῦ, συγκληρονόμοι δὲ Χριστοῦ, εἴπερ συμπάσχομεν ἵνα καὶ συνδοξασθῶμεν.
18 Непщꙋ́ю бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ недостѡ́йны стра́сти нн҃ѣшнѧгѡ вре́мене къ хотѧ́щей сла́вѣ ꙗ҆ви́тисѧ въ на́съ.
18 Λογίζομαι γὰρ ὅτι οὐκ ἄξια τὰ παθήματα τοῦ νῦν καιροῦ πρὸς τὴν μέλλουσαν δόξαν ἀποκαλυφθῆναι εἰς ἡμᾶς.
19 Ча́ѧнїе бо тва́ри, ѿкрове́нїѧ сн҃ѡ́въ бж҃їихъ ча́етъ:
19 ἡ γὰρ ἀποκαραδοκία τῆς κτίσεως τὴν ἀποκάλυψιν τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀπεκδέχεται.
20 сꙋетѣ́ бо тва́рь повинꙋ́сѧ не во́лею, но за повинꙋ́вшаго ю҆̀, на ᲂу҆пова́нїи,
20 τῇ γὰρ ματαιότητι ἡ κτίσις ὑπετάγη, οὐχ ἑκοῦσα, ἀλλὰ διὰ τὸν ὑποτάξαντα, ἐπ᾽ ἐλπίδι
21 ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ сама̀ тва́рь свободи́тсѧ ѿ рабо́ты и҆стлѣ́нїѧ въ свобо́дꙋ сла́вы ча̑дъ бж҃їихъ.
21 ὅτι καὶ αὐτὴ ἡ κτίσις ἐλευθερωθήσεται ἀπὸ τῆς δουλείας τῆς φθορᾶς εἰς τὴν ἐλευθερίαν τῆς δόξης τῶν τέκνων τοῦ Θεοῦ.
22 Вѣ́мы бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ̀ тва́рь съ на́ми совоздыха́етъ и҆ сболѣ́знꙋетъ да́же донн҃ѣ:
22 οἴδαμεν γὰρ ὅτι πᾶσα ἡ κτίσις συστενάζει καὶ συνωδίνει ἄχρι τοῦ νῦν·
23 не то́чїю же, но и҆ са́ми нача́токъ дх҃а и҆мꙋ́ще, и҆ мы̀ са́ми въ себѣ̀ воздыха́емъ, всн҃овле́нїѧ ча́юще, и҆збавле́нїѧ тѣ́лꙋ на́шемꙋ.
23 οὐ μόνον δέ, ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτοὶ τὴν ἀπαρχὴν τοῦ Πνεύματος ἔχοντες καὶ ἡμεῖς αὐτοὶ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς στενάζομεν υἱοθεσίαν ἀπεκδεχόμενοι, τὴν ἀπολύτρωσιν τοῦ σώματος ἡμῶν.
24 Оу҆пова́нїемъ бо спасо́хомсѧ. Оу҆пова́нїе же ви́димое, нѣ́сть ᲂу҆пова́нїе: є҆́же бо ви́дитъ кто̀, что̀ и҆ ᲂу҆пова́етъ;
24 τῇ γὰρ ἐλπίδι ἐσώθημεν· ἐλπὶς δὲ βλεπομένη οὐκ ἔστιν ἐλπίς· ὃ γὰρ βλέπει τις, τί καὶ ἐλπίζει;
25 А҆́ще ли, є҆гѡ́же не ви́димъ, надѣ́емсѧ, терпѣ́нїемъ жде́мъ.
25 εἰ δὲ ὃ οὐ βλέπομεν ἐλπίζομεν, δι᾽ ὑπομονῆς ἀπεκδεχόμεθα.
26 Си́це же и҆ дх҃ъ спосо́бствꙋетъ на́мъ въ не́мощехъ на́шихъ: ѡ҆ чесо́мъ бо помо́лимсѧ, ꙗ҆́коже подоба́етъ, не вѣ́мы, но са́мъ дх҃ъ хода́тайствꙋетъ ѡ҆ на́съ воздыха̑нїи неизглаго́ланными.
26 Ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ τὸ Πνεῦμα συναντιλαμβάνεται ταῖς ἀσθενείαις ἡμῶν· τὸ γὰρ τί προσευξόμεθα καθὸ δεῖ οὐκ οἴδαμεν, ἀλλ᾽ αὐτὸ τὸ Πνεῦμα ὑπερεντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν στεναγμοῖς ἀλαλήτοις·
27 И҆спыта́ѧй же сердца̀ вѣ́сть, что̀ є҆́сть мꙋдрова́нїе дх҃а, ꙗ҆́кѡ по бг҃ꙋ приповѣ́дꙋетъ ѡ҆ ст҃ы́хъ.
27 ὁ δὲ ἐρευνῶν τὰς καρδίας οἶδε τί τὸ φρόνημα τοῦ Πνεύματος, ὅτι κατὰ Θεὸν ἐντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἁγίων.
28 Вѣ́мы же, ꙗ҆́кѡ лю́бѧщымъ бг҃а всѧ̑ поспѣшествꙋ́ютъ во бл҃го́е, сꙋ́щымъ по пред̾ꙋвѣ́дѣнїю зва́ннымъ:
28 Οἴδαμεν δὲ ὅτι τοῖς ἀγαπῶσι τὸν Θεὸν πάντα συνεργεῖ εἰς ἀγαθόν, τοῖς κατὰ πρόθεσιν κλητοῖς οὖσιν·
29 и҆̀хже бо пред̾ꙋвѣ́дѣ, (тѣ́хъ) и҆ пред̾ꙋста́ви соѡбра́зныхъ бы́ти ѡ҆́бразꙋ сн҃а своегѡ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ бы́ти є҆мꙋ̀ перворо́днꙋ во мно́гихъ бра́тїѧхъ:
29 ὅτι οὓς προέγνω, καὶ προώρισε συμμόρφους τῆς εἰκόνος τοῦ υἱοῦ αὐτοῦ, εἰς τὸ εἶναι αὐτὸν πρωτότοκον ἐν πολλοῖς ἀδελφοῖς·
30 а҆ и҆̀хже пред̾ꙋста́ви, тѣ́хъ и҆ призва̀: а҆ и҆̀хже призва̀, си́хъ и҆ ѡ҆правда̀: а҆ и҆̀хже ѡ҆правда̀, си́хъ и҆ просла́ви.
30 οὓς δὲ προώρισε, τούτους καὶ ἐκάλεσε, καὶ οὓς ἐκάλεσε, τούτους καὶ ἐδικαίωσεν, οὓς δὲ ἐδικαίωσε, τούτους καὶ ἐδόξασε.
31 Что̀ ᲂу҆̀бо рече́мъ къ си́мъ, а҆́ще бг҃ъ по на́съ, кто̀ на ны̀;
31 Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν πρὸς ταῦτα; εἰ ὁ Θεὸς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, τίς καθ᾽ ἡμῶν;
32 И҆́же ᲂу҆́бѡ своегѡ̀ сн҃а не пощадѣ̀, но за на́съ всѣ́хъ пре́далъ є҆́сть є҆го̀, ка́кѡ ᲂу҆̀бо не и҆ съ ни́мъ всѧ̑ на́мъ да́рствꙋетъ;
32 ὅς γε τοῦ ἰδίου υἱοῦ οὐκ ἐφείσατο, ἀλλ᾽ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν πάντων παρέδωκεν αὐτόν, πῶς οὐχὶ καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα ἡμῖν χαρίσεται;
33 Кто̀ пое́млетъ на и҆збра̑нныѧ бж҃їѧ, бг҃ъ ѡ҆правда́ѧй.
33 τίς ἐγκαλέσει κατὰ ἐκλεκτῶν Θεοῦ; Θεὸς ὁ δικαιῶν·
34 Кто̀ ѡ҆сꙋжда́ѧй; Хрⷭ҇то́съ і҆и҃съ ᲂу҆ме́рый, па́че же и҆ воскр҃сый, и҆́же и҆ є҆́сть ѡ҆деснꙋ́ю бг҃а, и҆́же и҆ хода́тайствꙋетъ ѡ҆ на́съ.
34 τίς ὁ κατακρίνων; Χριστὸς ὁ ἀποθανών, μᾶλλον δὲ καὶ ἐγερθείς, ὃς καί ἐστιν ἐν δεξιᾷ τοῦ Θεοῦ, ὃς καὶ ἐντυγχάνει ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν.
35 Кто̀ ны̀ разлꙋчи́тъ ѿ любвѐ бж҃їѧ, ско́рбь ли, и҆лѝ тѣснота̀, и҆лѝ гоне́нїе, и҆лѝ гла́дъ, и҆лѝ нагота̀, и҆лѝ бѣда̀, и҆лѝ ме́чь; ꙗ҆́коже є҆́сть пи́сано:
35 τίς ἡμᾶς χωρίσει ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ Χριστοῦ; θλῖψις ἢ στενοχωρία ἢ διωγμὸς ἢ λιμὸς ἢ γυμνότης ἢ κίνδυνος ἢ μάχαιρα;
36 ꙗ҆́кѡ тебє̀ ра́ди ᲂу҆мерщвлѧ́еми є҆смы̀ ве́сь де́нь: вмѣни́хомсѧ ꙗ҆́коже ѻ҆́вцы заколе́нїѧ.
36 καθὼς γέγραπται ὅτι ἕνεκά σου θανατούμεθα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν· ἐλογίσθημεν ὡς πρόβατα σφαγῆς.
37 Но во всѣ́хъ си́хъ препобѣжда́емъ за возлю́бльшаго ны̀.
37 ἀλλ᾽ ἐν τούτοις πᾶσιν ὑπερνικῶμεν διὰ τοῦ ἀγαπήσαντος ἡμᾶς.
38 И҆звѣсти́хсѧ бо, ꙗ҆́кѡ ни сме́рть, ни живо́тъ, ни а҆́гг҃ли, ни нача̑ла, нижѐ си́лы, ни настоѧ̑щаѧ, ни грѧдꙋ̑щаѧ,
38 πέπεισμαι γὰρ ὅτι οὔτε θάνατος οὔτε ζωὴ οὔτε ἄγγελοι οὔτε ἀρχαὶ οὔτε δυνάμεις οὔτε ἐνεστῶτα οὔτε μέλλοντα
39 ни высота̀, ни глꙋбина̀, ни и҆́на тва́рь ка́ѧ возмо́жетъ на́съ разлꙋчи́ти ѿ любвѐ бж҃їѧ, ꙗ҆́же ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ гдⷭ҇ѣ на́шемъ.
39 οὔτε ὕψωμα οὔτε βάθος οὔτε τις κτίσις ἑτέρα δυνήσεται ἡμᾶς χωρίσαι ἀπὸ τῆς ἀγάπης τοῦ Θεοῦ τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν.

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 showing how great the reward of a spiritual life is, and that it maketh Christ to dwell in us, and that it quickeneth our mortal bodies, and wingeth them to heaven, and rendereth the way of virtue easier, he next fitly introduces an exhortation to this purpose.

… by the prophet and by Paul, of whom the apostle, calling to mind the Scripture, says in the Epistle addressed to the Romans, "As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are counted as sheep for the slaughter." But here the expression "all the day long" is put for all this time during …
They would perchance have been troubled, and have vomited it forth, and Thou wouldest hear them when they cried unto Thee; for by a true death in the flesh He died for us, who now maketh intercession for us with Thee.

… when he saith, "There is therefore no condemnation now to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit: for the law of the Spirit of life hath made me free from the law of sin and death."

Make ready then the vessel of thy soul, that thou mayest become a son of God, and an heir of God, and joint-heir with Christ; if, indeed, thou art preparing thyself that thou mayest receive; if thou art drawing nigh in faith that thou mayest be made faithful; if of set purpose thou art putting off the old man.
