Ἐν ἀρχῇ ἦν ὁ Λόγος: In the beginning was the Word(John 1:1)
καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς: And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free(John 8:32)
Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Genesis 9:1–10:32
1And God blessed Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill the earth and have dominion over it. 2And the dread and the fear of you shall be upon all the wild beasts of the earth, on all the birds of the sky, and on all things moving upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea, I have placed them under your power. 3And every reptile which is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green herbs. 4But flesh with blood of life ye shall not eat. 5For your blood of your lives will I require at the hand of all wild beasts, and I will require the life of man at the hand of [his] brother man. 6He that sheds man's blood, instead of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man. 7But do ye increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have dominion over it. 8And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying, 9And behold I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you, 10and with every living creature with you, of birds and of beasts, and with all the wild beasts of the earth, as many as are with you, of all that come out of the ark. 11And I will establish my covenant with you and all flesh shall not any more die by the water of the flood, and there shall no more be a flood of water to destroy all the earth. 12And the Lord God said to Noe, This [is] the sign of the covenant which I set between me and you, and between every living creature which is with you for perpetual generations. 13I set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of covenant between me and the earth. 14And it shall be when I gather clouds upon the earth, that my bow shall be seen in the cloud. 15And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you, and between every living soul in all flesh, and there shall no longer be water for a deluge, so as to blot out all flesh. 16And my bow shall be in the cloud, and I will look to remember the everlasting covenant between me and the earth, and between [every] living soul in all flesh, which is upon the earth. 17And God said to Noe, This [is] the sign of the covenant, which I have made between me and all flesh, which is upon the earth. 18Now the sons of Noe which came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, Japheth. And Cham was father of Chanaan. 19These three are the sons of Noe, of these were men scattered over all the earth. 20And Noe began to be a husbandman, and he planted a vineyard. 21And he drank of the wine, and was drunk, and was naked in his house. 22And Cham the father of Chanaan saw the nakedness of his father, and he went out and told his two brothers without. 23And Sem and Japheth having taken a garment, put it on both their backs and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their face [was] backward, and they saw not the nakedness of their father. 24And Noe recovered from the wine, and knew all that his younger son had done to him. 25And he said, Cursed be the servant Chanaan, a slave shall he be to his brethren. 26And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Sem, and Chanaan shall be his bond-servant. 27May God make room for Japheth, and let him dwell in the habitations of Sem, and let Chanaan be his servant. 28And Noe lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 29And all the days of Noe were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died. Chapter 101Now these [are] the generations of the sons of Noe, Sem, Cham, Japheth; and sons were born to them after the flood. 2The sons of Japheth, Gamer, and Magog, and Madoi, and Jovan, and Elisa, and Thobel, and Mosoch, and Thiras. 3And the sons of Gamer, Aschanaz, and Riphath, and Thorgama. 4And the sons of Jovan, Elisa, and Tharseis, Cetians, Rhodians. 5From these were the islands of the Gentiles divided in their land, each according to his tongue, in their tribes and in their nations. 6And the sons of Cham, Chus, and Mesrain, Phud, and Chanaan. 7And the sons of Chus, Saba, and Evila, and Sabatha, and Rhegma, and Sabathaca. And the sons of Rhegma, Saba, and Dadan. 8And Chus begot Nebrod: he began to be a giant upon the earth. 9He was a giant hunter before the Lord God; therefore they say, As Nebrod the giant hunter before the Lord. 10And the beginning of his kingdom was Babylon, and Orech, and Archad, and Chalanne, in the land of Senaar. 11Out of that land came Assur, and built Ninevi, and the city Rhooboth, and Chalach, 12and Dase between Ninevi and Chalach: this is the great city. 13And Mesrain begot the Ludiim, and the Nephthalim, and the Enemetiim, and the Labiim, 14and the Patrosoniim, and the Chasmoniim (whence came forth Phylistiim) and the Gaphthoriim. 15And Chanaan begot Sidon his first-born, and the Chettite, 16and the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgashite, 17and the Evite, and the Arukite, and the Asennite, 18and the Aradian, and the Samarean, and the Amathite; and after this the tribes of the Chananites were dispersed. 19And the boundaries of the Chananites were from Sidon till one comes to Gerara and Gaza, till one comes to Sodom and Gomorrha, Adama and Seboim, as far as Dasa. 20These [were] the sons of Cham in their tribes according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. 21And to Sem himself also were children born, the father of all the sons of Heber, the brother of Japheth the elder. 22Sons of Sem, Elam, and Assur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram, and Cainan. 23And sons of Aram, Uz, and Ul, and Gater, and Mosoch. 24And Arphaxad begot Cainan, and Cainan begot Sala. And Sala begot Heber. 25And to Heber were born two sons, the name of the one, Phaleg, because in his days the earth was divided, and the name of his brother Jektan. 26And Jektan begot Elmodad, and Saleth, and Sarmoth, and Jarach, 27and Odorrha, and Aibel, and Decla, 28and Eval, and Abimael, and Saba, 29and Uphir, and Evila, and Jobab, all these were the sons of Jektan. 30And their dwelling was from Masse, till one comes to Saphera, a mountain of the east. 31These were the sons of Sem in their tribes, according to their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations. 32These are the tribes of the sons of Noe, according to their generations, according to their nations: of them were the islands of the Gentiles scattered over the earth after the flood.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 3:5–8
5I cried to the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy mountain. Pause. 6I lay down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord will help me. 7I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, who beset me round about. 8Arise, Lord; deliver me, my God: for thou hast smitten all who were without cause mine enemies; thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 1:23–27
23Behold, I will bring forth to you the utterance of my breath, and I will instruct you in my speech. 24Since I called, and ye did not hearken; and I spoke at length, and ye gave no heed; 25but ye set at nought my counsels, and disregarded my reproofs; 26therefore I also will laugh at your destruction; and I will rejoice against [you] when ruin comes upon you: 27yea when dismay suddenly comes upon you, and [your] overthrow shall arrive like a tempest; and when tribulation and distress shall come upon you, or when ruin shall come upon you.
New TestamentKing James Version
Matthew 5:1–26
1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 13Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. 14Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. 19Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. 21Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. 23Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; 24Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. 25Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
