Правило 82 Василия Великого
Machine translation from the original · Show original
As for those who violated the oath, if they violated it through violence and need, they are subject to less severe punishments, and for six years they can be completely accepted. Those who unnecessarily betrayed their faith, let them weep for two years, and listen for two, pray with those who fall on the fifth, and for another two years let them be accepted into fellowship in prayer, without communion, and thus having shown worthy repentance, they will finally be led to communion with the body of the Lord.
(Ap. 25; Trul. 94; Basil Vel. 10, 17, 29, 64).
Basil the Great prescribed a ten-year penance in his 64th rule for anyone who breaks an oath; in the present rule, he makes a difference between those who did it under compulsion and those who broke the oath without any coercion, and for the first he prescribes a six-year penance, and for the second an eleven-year penance.
