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)
Hosea 7:1–8:14
1When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way; 2that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face. 3They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies. 4They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened. 5[In] the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows. 6Wherefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire. 7They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me. 8Ephraim is mixed among his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned. 9Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [it] not. 10And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this. 11And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians. 12Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumour of their [coming] affliction. 13Woe to them! for they have started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods against me. 14And their hearts did not cry to me, but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine. 15They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me. 16They turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nought in the land of Egypt. Chapter 81[He shall come] into their midst as the land, as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and have sinned against my law. 2They shall soon cry out to me, [saying], O God, we know thee. 3For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy. 4They have made kings for themselves, but not by me: they have ruled, but they did not make it known to me: [of] their silver and their gold they have made images to themselves, that they might be destroyed. 5Cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel? 6Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; wherefore thy calf, Samaria, was a deceiver: 7for they sowed blighted [seed], and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it. 8Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations as a worthless vessel. 9For they have gone up to the Assyrians: Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts. 10Therefore shall they be delivered to the nations: now I will receive them, and they shall cease a little to anoint a king and princes. 11Because Ephraim has multiplied altars, [his] beloved altars are become sins to him. 12I will write down a multitude [of commands] for him; but his statutes are accounted strange things, [even] the beloved altars. 13For if they should offer a sacrifice, and eat flesh, the Lord will not accept them: now will he remember their iniquities, and will take vengeance on their sins: they have returned to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians. 14And Israel has forgotten him that made him, and they have built fanes, and Juda has multiplied walled cities: but I will send fire on his cities, and it shall devour their foundations.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 138:7–12(MT: 139)
MT Psalm 139 = LXX Psalm 138 (standard offset).
7I said to the Lord, Thou art my God; hearken, O Lord, to the voice of my supplication. 8O Lord God, the strength of my salvation; thou hast screened my head in the day of battle. 9Deliver me not, O Lord, to the sinner, according to my desire: they have devised [mischief] against me; forsake me not, lest they should be exalted. Pause. 10[As for] the head of them that compass me, the mischief of their lips shall cover them. 11Coals of fire shall fall upon them on the earth; and thou shalt cast them down in afflictions: they shall not bear up [under them]. 12A talkative man shall not prosper on the earth: evils shall hunt the unrighteous man to destruction.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 29:20
20If thou see a man hasty in [his] words, know that the fool has hope rather than he.
New TestamentKing James Version
2 John 1:1–13
1The elder unto the elect lady and her children, whom I love in the truth; and not I only, but also all they that have known the truth; 2For the truth’s sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever. 3Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 4I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. 5And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. 6And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it. 7For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 8Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. 9Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. 10If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 12Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. 13The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen.
