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)
Ecclesiastes 3:1–22
1To all things there is a time, and a season for every matter under heaven. 2A time of birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what has been planted; 3a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to pull down, and a time to build up; 4a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to lament, and a time to dance; 5a time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to abstain from embracing; 6a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak; 8a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 9What advantage [has] he that works in those things wherein he labours? 10I have seen all the trouble, which God has given to the sons of men to be troubled with. 11All the things which he has made are beautiful in his time: he has also set the whole world in their heart, that man might not find out the work which God has wrought from the beginning even to the end. 12I know that there is no good in them, except [for a man] to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 13Also [in the case of] every man who shall eat and drink, and see good in all his labour, [this] is a gift of God. 14I know that whatsoever things God has done, they shall be for ever: it is impossible to add to it, and it is impossible to take away from it: and God has done [it], that [men] may fear before him. 15That which has been is now; and whatever things [are appointed] to be have already been; and God will seek out that which is past. 16And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, there was the ungodly one; and the place of righteousness, there was the godly one. 17And I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the ungodly: for there is a time there for every action and for every work. 18I said in my heart, concerning the speech of the sons of man, God will judge them, and that to shew that they are beasts. 19Also to them is the event of the sons of man, and the event of the brute; one event befalls them: as is the death of the one, so also the death of the other; and there is one breath to all: and what has the man more than the brute? nothing; for all is vanity. 20All [go] to one place; all were formed of the dust, and all will return to dust. 21And who has seen the spirit of the sons of man, whether it goes upward? and the spirit of the beast, whether it goes downward to the earth? 22And I saw that there was no good, but that wherein a man shall rejoice in his works, for it is his portion, for who shall bring him to see any thing of that which shall be after him?

MT Psalm 102 = LXX Psalm 101 (standard offset).
12As far as the east is from the west, [so far] has he removed our transgressions from us. 13As a father pities [his] children, the Lord pities them that fear him. 14For he knows our frame: remember that we are dust. 15[As for] man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so shall he flourish. 16For the wind passes over it, and it shall not be; and it shall know its place no more. 17But the mercy of the Lord is from generation to generation upon them that fear him, and his righteousness to children's children;

Proverbs 24:3–4
3A house is built by wisdom, and is set up by understanding. 4By discretion the chambers are filled with all precious and excellent wealth.
New TestamentKing James Version
1 Corinthians 8:1–13
1Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. 2And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 3But if any man love God, the same is known of him. 4As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. 5For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) 6But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. 7Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. 8But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. 9But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol’s temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. 13Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.
