Under minimal requirements on the coefficients and the boundary of the domain it is proved that the spectrum of the first boundary-value problem for an elliptic operator of second order always lies in the half-plane $\lambda'\le\operatorname{Re}\lambda$, where $\lambda'$ is the leading eigenvalue to which there corresponds a nonnegative eigenfunction. On the line $\operatorname{Re}\lambda=\lambda'$, there are no other points of the spectrum.
