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 бж҃їй, а҆пⷭ҇лъ же і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́въ, по вѣ́рѣ и҆збра́нныхъ бж҃їихъ и҆ ра́зꙋмꙋ и҆́стины, ꙗ҆́же по бл҃гочⷭ҇тїю,
1 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,
2 ѡ҆ ᲂу҆пова́нїи жи́зни вѣ́чныѧ, ю҆́же ѡ҆бѣтова̀ нело́жный бг҃ъ пре́жде лѣ́тъ вѣ́чныхъ,
2 in hope of eternal life, which God, who can’t lie, promised before time began;
3 ꙗ҆ви́ же во времена̀ своѧ̑ сло́во своѐ проповѣ́данїемъ, є҆́же мнѣ̀ порꙋ́чено бы́сть по повелѣ́нїю сп҃си́телѧ на́шегѡ бг҃а:
3 but in his own time revealed his word in the message with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,
4 ті́тꙋ, прⷭ҇номꙋ ча́дꙋ по ѻ҆́бщей вѣ́рѣ: блгⷣть, млⷭ҇ть, ми́ръ ѿ бг҃а ѻ҆ц҃а̀ и҆ гдⷭ҇а і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ сп҃са на́шегѡ.
4 to Titus, my true child according to a common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Savior.
5 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ѡ҆ста́вихъ тѧ̀ въ кри́тѣ, да недоконча̑ннаѧ и҆спра́виши и҆ ᲂу҆стро́иши по всѣ̑мъ градѡ́мъ пресвѵ́теры, ꙗ҆́коже тебѣ̀ а҆́зъ повелѣ́хъ:
5 I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that were lacking and appoint elders in every city, as I directed you—
6 а҆́ще кто̀ є҆́сть непоро́ченъ, є҆ди́ныѧ жены̀ мꙋ́жъ, ча̑да и҆мы́й вѣ̑рна, не во ᲂу҆коре́нїи блꙋда̀, и҆лѝ непокори̑ва.
6 if anyone is blameless, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, who are not accused of loose or unruly behavior.
7 Подоба́етъ бо є҆пі́скопꙋ без̾ поро́ка бы́ти, ꙗ҆́коже бж҃їю строи́телю: не себѣ̀ ᲂу҆гожда́ющꙋ, (не де́рзꙋ, не напра́сливꙋ,) не гнѣвли́вꙋ, не пїѧ́ницѣ, не бі́йцѣ, не скверностѧжа́тельнꙋ,
7 For the overseer must be blameless, as God’s steward, not self-pleasing, not easily angered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for dishonest gain;
8 но страннолюби́вꙋ, бл҃голю́бцꙋ, цѣломⷣреннꙋ, првⷣнꙋ, прпⷣбнꙋ, воздержа́тельнꙋ,
8 but given to hospitality, a lover of good, sober minded, fair, holy, self-controlled,
9 держа́щемꙋсѧ вѣ́рнагѡ словесѐ по ᲂу҆че́нїю, да си́ленъ бꙋ́детъ и҆ ᲂу҆тѣша́ти во здра́вѣмъ ᲂу҆че́нїи, и҆ проти́вѧщыѧсѧ ѡ҆блича́ти.
9 holding to the faithful word which is according to the teaching, that he may be able to exhort in the sound doctrine, and to convict those who contradict him.
10 Сꙋ́ть бо мно́зи непокори́ви, сꙋесло́вцы и҆ ᲂу҆мо́мъ прельще́ни, наипа́че же сꙋ́щїи ѿ ѡ҆брѣ́занїѧ,
10 For there are also many unruly men, vain talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
11 и҆́хже подоба́етъ ᲂу҆ста̀ загражда́ти: и҆̀же всѧ̑ до́мы развраща́ютъ, ᲂу҆ча́ще ꙗ҆́же не подоба́етъ, скве́рнагѡ ра́ди прибы́тка.
11 whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.
12 Рече́ же нѣ́кто ѿ ни́хъ, сво́й и҆̀мъ проро́къ: кри́тѧне при́снѡ лжи́ви, ѕлі́и ѕвѣ́рїе, ᲂу҆трѡ́бы пра̑здныѧ.
12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, and idle gluttons.”
13 Свидѣ́тельство сїѐ и҆́стинно є҆́сть: є҆ѧ́же ра́ди вины̀ ѡ҆блича́й и҆̀хъ неща́днѡ, да здра́ви бꙋ́дꙋтъ въ вѣ́рѣ,
13 This testimony is true. For this cause, reprove them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith,
14 не внима́юще і҆ꙋдє́йскимъ ба́снемъ, ни за́повѣдемъ человѣ̑къ ѿвраща́ющихсѧ ѿ и҆́стины.
14 not paying attention to Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.
15 Всѧ̑ ᲂу҆́бѡ чи̑ста чи̑стымъ: ѡ҆сквернє́нымъ же и҆ невѣ̑рнымъ ничто́же чи́сто, но ѡ҆скверни́сѧ и҆́хъ и҆ ᲂу҆́мъ и҆ со́вѣсть.
15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; but both their mind and their conscience are defiled.
16 Бг҃а и҆сповѣ́дꙋютъ вѣ́дѣти, а҆ дѣ́лы ѿме́щꙋтсѧ є҆гѡ̀, ме́рзцы сꙋ́ще и҆ непокори́ви и҆ на всѧ́кое дѣ́ло бл҃го́е неискꙋ́сни.
16 They profess that they know God, but by their deeds they deny him, being abominable, disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

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).
Titus was an approved one of the companions of Paul; otherwise, he would not have committed to him the charge of that whole island, nor would he have commanded him to supply what was deficient, as he says, "That thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting." (Ver.

Let them perish from Thy presence, O God, as "vain talkers and deceivers" of the soul do perish, who, observing that there were two wills in deliberating, affirm that there are two kinds of minds in us,--one good, the other evil.

Thou hast taught me, good Father, that "unto the pure all things are pure;" but "it is evil for that man who eateth with offence;" "and that every creature of Thine is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with, thanksgiving;" and that "meat commendeth us not to God;" and that no man should "judge us in …

For he says, "In hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie promised before the eternal times, but hath in due times manifested His word." You see he says that in the past there have been eternal times, which, however, were not co-eternal with God.
