Canon 9
On the prohibition of priesthood for elders who have “sinned in body.”
If a presbyter is elevated to the priesthood, having previously sinned in body, and confesses that he sinned before ordination, he should not make the Offering, saving the rest for the sake of diligence in the rest. For other sins, as the majority asserts, are also permitted by the laying on of hands. If he himself does not confess, and it will be impossible to clearly incriminate him, then leave him to your authority.
Greek original
Πρεσβύτερος, ἐὰν προημαρτηκῶς σώματι προαχθῇ, καὶ ὁμολογήσῃ, ὅτι ἥμαρτε πρὸ τῆς χειροτονίας, μὴ προσφερέτω, μένων ἐν τοῖς λοιποῖς, διὰ τὴν ἄλλην σπουδήν· τὰ γὰρ λοιπὰ ἁμαρτήματα ἔφασαν οἱ πολλοὶ καὶ τὴν χειροθεσίαν ἀφιέναι. Ἐὰν δὲ αὐτὸς μὴ ὁμολογῇ, ἐλεγχθῆναι δὲ φανερῶς μὴ δυνηθῇ, ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ ἐκείνῳ ποιεῖσθαι τὴν ἐξουσίαν.
