2 Maccabees 6:26
Print
Even if I escaped the punishment of human beings for the moment, I would certainly not escape the hands of the almighty—whether alive or dead.
For though, for the present time, I should be delivered from the punishments of men, yet should I not escape the hand of the Almighty neither alive nor dead.
For the present I might be able to escape what you could do to me, but whether I live or die, I cannot escape Almighty God.
Even if, for the time being, I avoid human punishment, I shall never, whether alive or dead, escape the hand of the Almighty.
For the moment I would avoid the punishment of mortals, but alive or dead I shall never escape the hands of the Almighty.
Even if for the present I would avoid the punishment of mortals, yet whether I live or die I will not escape the hands of the Almighty.
Even if for the present I would avoid the punishment of mortals, yet whether I live or die I will not escape the hands of the Almighty.
Even if for the present I would avoid the punishment of mortals, yet whether I live or die I will not escape the hands of the Almighty.
Even if for the present I would avoid the punishment of mortals, yet whether I live or die I will not escape the hands of the Almighty.
For even if for the present I should avoid the punishment of men, yet whether I live or die I shall not escape the hands of the Almighty.
For even if for the present I should avoid the punishment of men, yet whether I live or die I shall not escape the hands of the Almighty.
For why though in present time I be delivered from (the) torments of men, but neither quick (or alive), neither dead, I shall (not) escape the hand of [the] Almighty.
