Правило 6
About a 6-year penance for those who sacrificed to idols, yielding to threats, but repented of this only at the time of this council.
About those who, from the mere threat of punishment, deprivation of property or expulsion, could not resist and made a sacrifice and have not yet repented or converted, but now, during this Council, came with the intention of converting, it was decided: before the Great Day, let them be accepted into the number of those listening, after the Great Day, let 3 years fall and then the next 2 years, let them be in communion without communion of the Holy Mysteries, after which they will begin communion and so let them fulfill the whole 6th anniversary. If some were accepted for repentance before this Council, then for them it is necessary to count the beginning of the 6th anniversary from that time. However, if there is a danger of death due to illness or another reason, such people are accepted into communication conditionally.
Greek original
Περὶ τῶν ἀπειλῇ μόνον εἰξάντων κολάσεων, καὶ ἀφαιρέσεως ὑπαρχόντων, ἢ μετοικίας, καὶ θυσάντων, καὶ μέχρι τοῦ παρόντος καιροῦ μὴ μετανοησάντων, μηδὲ ἐπιστρεψάντων, νῦν δὲ παρὰ τὸν καιρὸν τῆς συνόδου προσελθόντων, καὶ εἰς διάνοιαν τῆς ἐπιστροφῆς γενομένων, ἔδοξε μέχρι τῆς μεγάλης ἡμέρας εἰς ἀκρόασιν δεχθῆναι, καὶ μετὰ τὴν μεγάλην ἡμέραν ὑποπεσεῖν τρία ἔτη, καὶ μετὰ ἄλλα δύο ἔτη κοινωνῆσαι, χωρὶς προσφορᾶς, καὶ οὕτως ἐλθεῖν ἐπὶ τὸ τέλειον, ὥστε τὴν πᾶσαν ἑξαετίαν πληρῶσαι. Εἰ δέ τινες πρὸ τῆς συνόδου ταύτης ἐδέχθησαν εἰς μετάνοιαν, ἀπ᾽ ἐκείνου τοῦ χρόνου λελογίσθαι αὐτοῖς τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆς ἑξαετίας. Εἰ μέν τοι κίνδυνος καὶ θανάτου προσδοκία ἐκ νόσου, ἢ ἄλλης τινὸς προφάσεως συμβαίη, τούτους ἐπὶ ὅρῳ δεχθῆναι.
