2 Corinthians 13:8
For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

אֵין חָכְמָה וְאֵין תְּבוּנָה וְאֵין עֵצָה לְנֶגֶד יְהוָֽה׃
There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν Μὴ κωλύετε αὐτόν οὐδεὶς γάρ ἐστιν ὃς ποιήσει δύναμιν ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου καὶ δυνήσεται ταχὺ κακολογῆσαί με·
But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
ποιῆσαι ὅσα ἡ χείρ σου καὶ ἡ βουλή σου προώρισεν γενέσθαι
For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
וַיֹּאמֶר מֹשֶׁה בְּזֹאת תֵּֽדְעוּן כִּֽי-יְהוָה שְׁלָחַנִי לַֽעֲשׂוֹת אֵת כָּל-הַֽמַּעֲשִׂים הָאֵלֶּה כִּי-לֹא מִלִּבִּֽי׃
And Moses said, Hereby ye shall know that the LORD hath sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of mine own mind.
πῶς ἡμεῖς ἐκφευξόμεθα τηλικαύτης ἀμελήσαντες σωτηρίας ἥτις ἀρχὴν λαβοῦσα λαλεῖσθαι διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ὑπὸ τῶν ἀκουσάντων εἰς ἡμᾶς ἐβεβαιώθη
How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him;
Ἀνὴρ δέ τις Ἁνανίας ὀνόματι σὺν Σαπφείρῃ τῇ γυναικὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπώλησεν κτῆμα
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
ὧν ἐστιν Ὑμέναιος καὶ Ἀλέξανδρος οὓς παρέδωκα τῷ Σατανᾷ ἵνα παιδευθῶσιν μὴ βλασφημεῖν
Of whom is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
Δυνάμεις τε οὐ τὰς τυχούσας ἐποίει ὁ θεὸς διὰ τῶν χειρῶν Παύλου
And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul:
ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ συναχθέντων ὑμῶν καὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ πνεύματος σὺν τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Ἀποκριθεὶς δὲ ὁ Ἰωάννης εἶπεν Ἐπιστάτα εἴδομέν τινα ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί σου ἐκβάλλοντα τά δαιμόνια καὶ ἐκωλύσαμεν αὐτὸν ὅτι οὐκ ἀκολουθεῖ μεθ' ἡμῶν
And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us.
וַיַּעַל מִשָּׁם בֵּֽית-אֵל וְהוּא׀ עֹלֶה בַדֶּרֶךְ וּנְעָרִים קְטַנִּים יָֽצְאוּ מִן-הָעִיר וַיִּתְקַלְּסוּ-בוֹ וַיֹּאמְרוּ לוֹ עֲלֵה קֵרֵחַ עֲלֵה קֵרֵֽחַ׃
And he went up from thence unto Beth-el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
τότε νηστεύσαντες καὶ προσευξάμενοι καὶ ἐπιθέντες τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῖς ἀπέλυσαν
And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent away. them
σημεῖα δὲ τοῖς πιστεύσασιν ταῦτα παρακολουθήσει· ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί μου δαιμόνια ἐκβαλοῦσιν γλώσσαις λαλήσουσιν καιναῖς
And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
כַּצִּפּוֹר לָנוּד כַּדְּרוֹר לָעוּף כֵּן קִֽלְלַת חִנָּם (לא) לוֹ תָבֹֽא׃
As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
διὰ τοῦτο ταῦτα ἀπὼν γράφω ἵνα παρὼν μὴ ἀποτόμως χρήσωμαι κατὰ τὴν ἐξουσίαν ἣν ἔδωκέν μοι ὁ κύριος εἰς οἰκοδομὴν καὶ οὐκ εἰς καθαίρεσιν
Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
ἐάν τε γὰρ καὶ περισσότερόν τι καυχήσωμαι περὶ τῆς ἐξουσίας ἡμῶν ἡς ἔδωκεν ὁ κύριος ἡμῖν εἰς οἰκοδομὴν καὶ οὐκ εἰς καθαίρεσιν ὑμῶν οὐκ αἰσχυνθήσομαι
For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:
וַיֹּאמֶר מִיכָיְהוּ אִם-שׁוֹב תָּשׁוּב בְּשָׁלוֹם לֹֽא-דִבֶּר יְהוָה בִּי וַיֹּאמֶר שִׁמְעוּ עַמִּים כֻּלָּֽם׃
And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
וַיִּשְׁלַח אֵלָיו שַׂר-חֲמִשִּׁים וַֽחֲמִשָּׁיו וַיַּעַל אֵלָיו וְהִנֵּה יֹשֵׁב עַל-רֹאשׁ הָהָר וַיְדַבֵּר אֵלָיו אִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים הַמֶּלֶךְ דִּבֶּר רֵֽדָה׃
Then the king sent unto him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spake unto him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
