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)
Isaiah 11:1–12:6
1And there shall come forth a rod out of the root of Jesse, and a blossom shall come up from [his] root: 2and the Spirit of God shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and godliness shall fill him; 3the spirit of the fear of God. He shall not judge according to appearance, nor reprove according to report: 4but he shall judge the cause of the lowly, and shall reprove the lowly of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the word of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he destroy the ungodly one. 5And he shall have his loins girt with righteousness, and his sides clothed with truth. 6And the wolf shall feed with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the young calf and bull and lion shall feed together; and a little child shall lead them. 7And the ox and bear shall feed together; and their young shall be together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8And an infant shall put his hand on the holes of asps, and on the nest of young asps. 9And they shall not hurt, nor shall they at all be able to destroy any one on my holy mountain: for the whole [world] is filled with the knowledge of the Lord, as much water covers the seas. 10And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall arise to rule over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust, and his rest shall be glorious. 11And it shall be in that day, [that] the Lord shall again shew his hand, to be zealous for the remnant that is left of the people, which shall be left by the Assyrians, and [that] from Egypt, and from the country of Babylon, and from Ethiopia, and from the Elamites, and from the rising of the sun, and out of Arabia. 12And he shall lift up a standard for the nations, and he shall gather the lost ones of Israel, and he shall gather the dispersed of Juda from the four corners of the earth. 13And the envy of Ephraim shall be taken away, and the enemies of Juda shall perish: Ephraim shall not envy Juda, and Juda shall not afflict Ephraim. 14And they shall fly in the ships of the Philistines: they shall at the same time spoil the sea, and them [that come] from the east, and Idumea: and they shall lay their hands on Moab first; but the children of Ammon shall first obey [them]. 15And the Lord shall make desolate the sea of Egypt; and he shall lay his hand on the river with a strong wind, and he shall smite the seven channels, so that men shall pass through it dry-shod. 16And there shall be a passage for my people that is left in Egypt: and it shall be to Israel as the day when he came forth out of the land of Egypt. Chapter 121And in that day thou shalt say, I [will] bless thee, O Lord; for thou wast angry with me, but thou hast turned aside thy wrath, and hast pitied me. 2Behold, my God is my Saviour; I will trust in him, and not be afraid: for the Lord is my glory and my praise, and is become my salvation. 3Draw ye therefore water with joy out of the wells of salvation. 4And in that day thou shalt say, Sing to the Lord, call aloud upon his name, proclaim his glorious [deeds] among the Gentiles; make mention that his name is exalted. 5Sing praise to the name of the Lord; for he has done great [things]: declare this in all the earth. 6Exalt and rejoice, ye that dwell in Sion: for the Holy One of Israel is exalted in the midst of her.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 105:6–18(MT: 106)
MT Psalm 106 = LXX Psalm 105 (standard offset).
6Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction, and he delivered them out of their distresses. 7And he guided them into a straight path, that they might go to a city of habitation. 8Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonderful works to the children of men. 9For he satisfies the empty soul, and fills the hungry [soul] with good things, 10[even] them that sit in darkness and the shadow of death, fettered in poverty and iron; 11because they rebelled against the words of God, and provoked the counsel of the Most High. 12So their heart was brought low with troubles; they were weak, and there was no helper. 13Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction, and he saved them out of their distresses. 14And he brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their bonds asunder. 15Let them acknowledge to the Lord his mercies, and his wonders to the children of men. 16For he broke to pieces the brazen gates, and crushed the iron bars. 17He helped them out of the way of their iniquity; for they were brought low because of their iniquities. 18Their soul abhorred all meat; and they drew near to the gates of death.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 25:3–5
3Heaven is high, and earth is deep, and a king's heart is unsearchable. 4Beat the drossy silver, and it shall be made entirely pure. 5Slay the ungodly from before the king, and his throne shall prosper in righteousness.
New TestamentKing James Version
2 Corinthians 2:1–17
1But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness. 2For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me? 3And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all. 4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. 5But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. 6Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. 7So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 8Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. 9For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. 10To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; 11Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 12Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, 13I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia. 14Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 15For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: 16To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? 17For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.
