Из 29 главы книги о Святом Духе Правило 92 Василия Великого

To the objection that there is no evidence and no scripture for doxology “with the Spirit” 120, we answer: If nothing else is accepted without scripture, then let this not be accepted either: but if very many mystical things have been established among us without scripture, then with many other objects we will accept this too. I remember that this is also apostolic, but let us adhere to the unwritten traditions. For I praise you, brethren, because you remember everything that is mine and keep the traditions as I handed them down to you (1 Cor. 11:2). And in another place: keep the traditions that you have been taught either by word or by our epistle (2 Thess. 2:15): one of these is especially this, about which we are discussing, which the original founders handed down to their successors, and with the continued use of it over time, they took root in the churches as a long-term custom. And so, if we, as if in court, with a lack of written evidence, presented many witnesses in favor of our case, will we not receive an acquittal verdict from you? I think so, for with two or three witnesses every word will stand (Deut. 19:15). If we point out to you the long-term situation, which clearly testifies in our favor, then will we not appear before you rightly saying that the debate cannot successfully be against us? For ancient dogmas, in a certain way, inspire reverence, presenting in their antiquity, as if in some kind of gray hair, a venerable appearance. (I Om. 19; Trul. 102; VII Om. 7; Basil the Great. 87). The interpretation of the previous (91) rule also serves as an interpretation of the present 92 rule of Basil the Great. Book right: The saint understands the doxology pronounced in the following form: glory to the Father and the Son with the Holy Spirit. Note You might be interested in:
