Irmos: Perceiving the inscrutable counsel of God—the Incarnation of Thee, the Most High, from the Virgin—the Prophet Habbakuk cried aloud: Glory to Thy power, O Lord!
With His life-bearing right hand the Creator hath set upon thy head the crown of confession as a most precious honor, in that thou wast victorious, O divinely manifest and blessed Paul.
Theotokion: Desiring to save humanity, O Savior, as the Son, visibly consubstantial with the Father, thou wast incarnate of the Virgin in a form consubstantial with us.
In that thou didst struggle beforehand for the sake of the dogmas of piety, O most wise one, thou hast received rewards, having now attained unto the Tree of life, O divinely manifest, blessed and wondrous Paul.
As a splendid struggler and champion of the truth, O most honored Paul, thou hast been vouchsafed to join chorus in the land of heaven, where the feet of the meek dance in chorus.
