We Ukrainians and Russians are all brothers and sisters in one Christ and in one Orthodox faith, all adopted children of the one heavenly Father.

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and the one who loves is born of God and knows God.

Ми, українці і росіяни, всі брати і сестри в єдиному Христі і в єдиній православній вірі, всі усиновлені діти єдиного Отця небесного.

Любі, любім один одного; бо любов від Бога, і кожен, хто любить, від Бога родив ся, і знає Бога.

Мы, украинцы и русские, все братья и сестры в едином Христе и в единой православной вере, все усыновленные дети единого Отца небесного.

Возлюбленные! будем любить друг друга, потому что любовь от Бога, и всякий любящий рожден от Бога и знает Бога.

Christ is born! Христос народився! Христос рождается!
