Noun

грѣхъ • (grěxŭ) m

1. sin
   • from the Homily against the Bogumils, 1218-1222:

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

     takŭ bo jestŭ obyčai dijavolu i oslěpljajetŭ oči i umaljajetŭ grěxŭ da tvoręštei zŭlaja mĭnętŭ sę ne tvoręštei zŭla ničesože

     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.

   • from the Homily against the Bogumils, 1836-1838:

     исповѣдаите дроугъ дроугоу грѣхꙑ и молите дроугъ за дроуга ꙗко да ицѣлѣѥте

     ispovědaite drugŭ drugu grěxy i molite drugŭ za druga jako da icělějete
