bes@Sir:22:23 @ Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that thou mayest rejoice in his prosperity: abide stedfast unto him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayest be heir with him in his heritage: for a mean estate is not always to be contemned: nor the rich that is foolish to be had in admiration.

bes@1Macc:4:18 @ And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, and after this ye may boldly take the spoils.

bes@1Macc:7:28 @ Let there be no battle between me and you; I will come with a few men, that I may see you in peace.

bes@1Macc:7:42 @ Even so destroy thou this host before us this day, that the rest may know that he hath spoken blasphemously against thy sanctuary, and judge thou him according to his wickedness.

bes@1Macc:8:30 @ Howbeit if hereafter the one party or the other shall think to meet to add or diminish any thing, they may do it at their pleasures, and whatsoever they shall add or take away shall be ratified.

bes@1Macc:9:8 @ Nevertheless unto them that remained he said, Let us arise and go up against our enemies, if peradventure we may be able to fight with them.

bes@1Macc:9:30 @ Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince and captain in his stead, that thou mayest fight our battles.

bes@1Macc:9:46 @ Wherefore cry ye now unto heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies.

bes@1Macc:10:24 @ I also will write unto them words of encouragement, and promise them dignities and gifts, that I may have their aid.

bes@1Macc:10:32 @ And as for the tower which is at Jerusalem, I yield up authority over it, and give the high priest, that he may set in it such men as he shall choose to keep it.

bes@1Macc:10:38 @ And concerning the three governments that are added to Judea from the country of Samaria, let them be joined with Judea, that they may be reckoned to be under one, nor bound to obey other authority than the high priest’s.

bes@1Macc:10:56 @ And now will I do to thee, as thou hast written: meet me therefore at Ptolemais, that we may see one another; for I will marry my daughter to thee according to thy desire.

bes@1Macc:13:16 @ Wherefore now send an hundred talents of silver, and two of his sons for hostages, that when he is at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will let him go.

bes@1Macc:15:3 @ Forasmuch as certain pestilent men have usurped the kingdom of our fathers, and my purpose is to challenge it again, that I may restore it to the old estate, and to that end have gathered a multitude of foreign soldiers together, and prepared ships of war;

bes@1Macc:15:4 @ My meaning also being to go through the country, that I may be avenged of them that have destroyed it, and made many cities in the kingdom desolate:

bes@1Macc:15:21 @ If therefore there be any pestilent fellows, that have fled from their country unto you, deliver them unto Simon the high priest, that he may punish them according to their own law.

bes@2Macc:2:25 @ We have been careful, that they that will read may have delight, and that they that are desirous to commit to memory might have ease, and that all into whose hands it comes might have profit.

bes@2Macc:7:29 @ Fear not this tormentor, but, being worthy of thy brethren, take thy death that I may receive thee again in mercy with thy brethren.

bes@2Macc:7:37 @ But I, as my brethren, offer up my body and life for the laws of our fathers, beseeching God that he would speedily be merciful unto our nation; and that thou by torments and plagues mayest confess, that he alone is God;

bes@2Macc:7:38 @ And that in me and my brethren the wrath of the Almighty, which is justly brought upon our nation, may cease.

bes@2Macc:11:23 @ Since our father is translated unto the gods, our will is, that they that are in our realm live quietly, that every one may attend upon his own affairs.

bes@2Macc:11:25 @ Wherefore our mind is, that this nation shall be in rest, and we have determined to restore them their temple, that they may live according to the customs of their forefathers.

bes@2Macc:11:26 @ Thou shalt do well therefore to send unto them, and grant them peace, that when they are certified of our mind, they may be of good comfort, and ever go cheerfully about their own affairs.

bes@2Macc:11:32 @ I have sent also Menelaus, that he may comfort you.

bes@2Macc:11:36 @ But touching such things as he judged to be referred to the king, after ye have advised thereof, send one forthwith, that we may declare as it is convenient for you: for we are now going to Antioch.

bes@2Macc:11:37 @ Therefore send some with speed, that we may know what is your mind.

bes@AddDaniel:1:16 @ Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, and like as in ten thousands of fat lambs: so let our sacrifice be in thy sight this day, and grant that we may wholly go after thee: for they shall not be confounded that put their trust in thee.

bes@PrMan:1:7 @ for thou art the most high Lord, of great compassion, longsuffering, very merciful, and repentest of the evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against thee: and of thine infinite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved.

bes@3Macc:1:15 @ Well; since I have done this, said he, be the cause what it may, shall I not enter with or without your consent?

bes@3Macc:2:20 @ Let thy mercies quickly go before us. Grant us peace, that the cast down and broken hearted may praise thee with their mouth.

bes@3Macc:3:24 @ Having then, received certain proofs that these bear us every sort of ill-will, we must look forward to the possibility of some sudden tumult among ourselves, when these impious men may turn traitors and barbarous enemies.

bes@4Macc:1:5 @ How, then, is it, perhaps some may say, that reasoning, if it rule the affections, is not also master of forgetfulness and ignorance? They attempt a ridiculous argument.

bes@4Macc:1:7 @ I might prove to you, from may other considerations, that religious reasoning is sole master of the passions;

bes@4Macc:1:10 @ For their virtues, then, it is right that I should commend those men who died with their mother at this time in behalf of rectitude; and for their honours, I may count them happy.

bes@4Macc:1:12 @ But we may now at once enter upon the question, having commenced, as is our wont, with laying down the doctrine, and so proceed to the account of these persons, giving glory to the all wise God.

bes@4Macc:2:9 @ And should a man be parsimonious, he is ruled by the law acting through reasoning; so that he does not glean his harvest crops, nor vintage: and in reference to other points we may perceive that it is reasoning that conquers his passions.

bes@4Macc:2:24 @ How, then, a man may say, if reasoning be master of the passions, has it no control over forgetfulness and ignorance?

bes@4Macc:3:2 @ in such a way as that any one of you may not be able to root out desire, but reasoning will enable you to avoid being enslaved to it.

bes@4Macc:3:3 @ One may not be able to root out anger from the soul, but it is possible to withstand anger.

bes@4Macc:3:4 @ Any one of you may not be able to eradicate malice, but reasoning has force to work with you to prevent you yielding to malice.

bes@4Macc:3:6 @ And this may be more clearly comprehended from the thirst of king David.

bes@4Macc:5:27 @ But, tyrant-like, thou not only forcest us to break the law, but also to eat, that thou mayest ridicule us as we thus profanely eat:

bes@4Macc:9:16 @ And when the spearmen said, Consent to eat, that you may be releasted from your tortures,--

bes@4Macc:10:16 @ Invent, O tyrant, tortures; that you may learn, even through them, that I am the brother of those tormented before.

bes@4Macc:11:3 @ But I have come of mine own accord, that by the death of me, you may owe heavenly vengeance a punishment for more crimes.

bes@4Macc:12:8 @ Release me that I may speak to the king and all his friends.

bes@4Macc:13:9 @ Brothers, may we die brotherly for the law. Let us imitate the three young men in Assyria who despised the equally afflicting furnace.

bes@1Esd:2:21 @ But to speak unto our lord the king, to the intent that, if it be thy pleasure it may be sought out in the books of thy fathers:

bes@1Esd:4:11 @ And these keep watch round about him, neither may any one depart, and do his own business, neither disobey they him in any thing.

bes@1Esd:6:31 @ That offerings may be made to the most high God for the king and for his children, and that they may pray for their lives.

bes@1Esd:8:12 @ That they may look unto the affairs of Judea and Jerusalem, agreeably to that which is in the law of the Lord;

bes@1Esd:8:14 @ With that also which is given of the people for the temple of the Lord their God at Jerusalem: and that silver and gold may be collected for bullocks, rams, and lambs, and things thereunto appertaining;

bes@1Esd:8:15 @ To the end that they may offer sacrifices unto the Lord upon the altar of the Lord their God, which is in Jerusalem.

bes@1Esd:8:23 @ And thou, Esdras, according to the wisdom of God ordain judges and justices, that they may judge in all Syria and Phenice all those that know the law of thy God; and those that know it not thou shalt teach.

bes@1Esd:8:85 @ Moreover ye shall never seek to have peace with them, that ye may be strong, and eat the good things of the land, and that ye may leave the inheritance of the land unto your children for evermore.

bes@Sus:1:17 @ Then she said to her maids, Bring me oil and washing balls, and shut the garden doors, that I may wash me.

bes@Sus:1:59 @ Then said Daniel unto him, Well; thou hast also lied against thine own head: for the angel of God waiteth with the sword to cut thee in two, that he may destroy you.

bes@BelTh:1:5 @ Who answered and said, Because I may not worship idols made with hands, but the living God, who hath created the heaven and the earth, and hath sovereignty over all flesh.
