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)
Ezekiel 9:1–10:22
1And he cried in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, The judgment of the city has drawn nigh; and each had the weapons of destruction in his hand. 2And, behold, six men came from the way of the high gate that looks toward the north, and each one's axe was in his hand; and there was one man in the midst of them clothed with a long robe down to the feet, and a sapphire girdle was on his loins: and they came in and stood near the brazen altar. 3And the glory of the God of Israel, that was upon them, went up from the cherubs to the porch of the house. And he called the man that was clothed with the long robe, who had the girdle on his loins; 4and said to him, Go through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that groan and that grieve for all the iniquities that are done in the midst of them. 5And he said to the first in my hearing, Go after him into the city, and smite: and let not your eyes spare, and have no mercy. 6Slay utterly old man and youth, and virgin, and infants, and women: but go ye not nigh any on whom is the mark: begin at my sanctuary. So they began with the elder men who were within in the house. 7And he said to them, Defile the house, and go out and fill the ways with dead bodies, and smite. 8And it came to pass as they were smiting, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Alas, O Lord! wilt thou destroy the remnant of Israel, in pouring out thy wrath upon Jerusalem? 9Then said he to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Juda is become very exceedingly great: for the land is filled with many nations, and the city is filled with iniquity and uncleanness: because they have said, The Lord has forsaken the earth, The Lord looks not upon [it]. 10Therefore mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have any mercy: I have recompensed their ways upon their heads. 11And, behold, the man clothed with the long robe, and girt with the girdle about his loins, answered and said, I have done as thou didst command me. Chapter 101Then I looked, and, behold, over the firmament that was above the head of the cherubs [there was] a likeness of a throne over them, as a sapphire stone. 2And he said to the man clothed with the [long] robe, Go in between the wheels that are under the cherubs, and fill thine hands with coals of fire from between the cherubs, and scatter [them] over the city. And he went in in my sight. 3And the cherubs stood on the right hand of the house, as the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court. 4Then the glory of the Lord departed from the cherubs to the porch of the house; and the cloud filled the house, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord. 5And the sound of the cherubs' wings was heard as far as the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God speaking. 6And it came to pass, when he gave a charge to the man clothed with the sacred robe, saying, Take fire from between the wheels from between the cherubs, that he went in, and stood near the wheels. 7And he stretched forth his hand into the midst of the fire that was between the cherubs, and took [thereof], and put [it] into the hands of the man clothed with the sacred robe: and he took [it], and went out. 8And I saw the cherubs [having] the likeness of men's hands under their wings. 9And I saw, and behold, four wheels stood by the cherubs, one wheel by each cherub: and the appearance of the wheels was as the appearance of a carbuncle stone. 10And [as for] their appearance, [there was] one likeness to the four, as if there should be a wheel in the midst of a wheel. 11When they went, they went on their four sides; they turned not when they went, for whichever way the first head looked, they went; and they turned not as they went. 12And their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, were full of eyes round about the four wheels. 13And these wheels were called Gelgel in my hearing. 15And the cherubs were the same living creature which I saw by the river of Chobar. 16And when the cherubs went, the wheels went, and they were close to them: and when the cherubs lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, their wheels turned not. 17When they stood, [the wheels] stood; and when they mounted up, [the wheels] mounted up with them: because the spirit of life was in them. 18Then the glory of the Lord departed from the house, and went up on the cherubs. 19And the cherubs lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight: when they went forth, the wheels were also beside them, and they stood at the entrance of the front gate of the house of the Lord; and the glory of the God of Israel was upon them above. 20This is the living creature which I saw under the God of Israel by the river of Chobar; and I knew that they were cherubs. 21Each one [had] four faces, and each one [had] eight wings; and under their wings was the likeness of men's hands. 22And [as for] the likeness of their faces, these are the [same] faces which I saw under the glory of the God of Israel by the river of Chobar: and they went each straight forward.

1A Song of Degrees. I was glad when they said to me, Let us go into the house of the Lord. 2Our feet stood in thy courts, O Jerusalem. 3Jerusalem is built as a city whose fellowship is complete. 4For thither the tribes went up, the tribes of the Lord, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks unto the name of the Lord. 5For there are set thrones for judgment, [even] thrones for the house of David. 6Pray now for the peace of Jerusalem: and [let there be] prosperity to them that love thee. 7Let peace, I pray, be within thine host, and prosperity in thy palaces. 8For the sake of my brethren and my neighbours, I have indeed spoken peace concerning thee.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 28:16
16A king in need of revenues is a great oppressor: but he that hates injustice shall live a long time.
New TestamentKing James Version
Hebrews 5:1–14
1For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: 2Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity. 3And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. 4And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron. 5So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. 6As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 7Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; 8Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; 10Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. 11Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
