      такъ бо ѥстъ обꙑчаи диꙗволоу и ослѣплꙗѥтъ очи и оумалꙗѥтъ грѣхъ да творѧщеи зълаꙗ мьнѧтъ сѧ не творѧщеи зъла ничесоже

      Such is the habit of the devil; he blinds the eyes and shrinks sin, so that those who do evil think they are doing nothing wrong.

      исповѣдаите дроугъ дроугоу грѣхꙑ и молите дроугъ за дроуга ꙗко да ицѣлѣѥте
      ispovědaite drugŭ drugu grěxy i molite drugŭ za druga jako da icělějete
