Guess that verse #2 :

Εαν δε τις απο σας ηναι ελλιπης σοφιας, ας ζητη παρα του Θεου του διδοντος εις παντας πλουσιως

και μη ονειδιζοντος, και θελει δοθη εις αυτον.

 

or

 

ει δε τις υμων λειπεται σοφιας αιτειτω παρα του διδοντος θεου πασιν απλως

και ουκ ονειδιζοντος και δοθησεται αυτω

From: The Byzantine/Majority Greek New Testament according to the Byzantine Textform, edited by Maurice A. Robinson and William G. Pierpont, 2000

Guess that Greek Verse #3

 

GreekVerse.thumb.jpg.06eb734ef1a638a9068af295c3d643a5.jpg

 

HINT 1: the above is in modern Greek

HINT 2: the text is from the deuterocanonicals

 

Here is the original:

Quote

τῶν κατὰ τὴν ἑρμηνείαν πεφιλοπονημένων τισὶν τῶν λέξεων ἀδυναμεῖν οὐ γὰρ ἰσοδυναμεῖαὐτὰ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς Ἐβραιστὶ λεγόμενα καὶ ὅταν μεταχθῇ εἰς ἑτέραν γλῶσσαν· οὐ μόνον δὲ ταῦτα, ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ νόμος καὶ αἱ προφητεῖαι  καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τῶν βιβλίων

GUESS that Greek verse #4:

 

Quote

ἐθαύμαζον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι λέγοντες Πῶς οὗτος γράμματα οἶδεν μὴ μεμαθηκώς;

 

Parsing information from Accordance:

 

ἐθαύμαζον θαυμάζω Verb third plural imperfect active indicative to marvel, wonder; admire

οὖν οὖν Conjunction coordinating therefore, thus

οἱ ὁ Article masculine plural nominative the, who, which

Ἰουδαῖοι Ἰουδαῖος Adjective masculine plural nominative (proper) Jewish; Jew

λέγοντες λέγω Verb present active participle masculine plural nominative to say, speak, tell

Πῶς πῶς Particle (interrogative) how? in what way?

οὗτος οὗτος Pronoun (demonstrative) masculine singular nominative this, this one, he

γράμματα γράμμα Noun neuter plural accusative character; letter (of alphabet); epistle

οἶδεν οἶδα Verb third singular perfect active indicative to know

μὴ μή Particle (negative) not, lest

μεμαθηκώς μανθάνω Verb perfect active participle masculine singular nominative to learn

I was pretty sure it was in John. It was οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι that made me think so. I tend to prefer the translation “Judeans” since it was a term that tied them to the land of Ἰουδαία. I started skimming over until I found it: 7:15.
There are a few other imperfect verbs that describe the crowds’ reaction before this point too: ἐγόγγυζον in 6:41 and ἐμάχοντο in 6:52.

2 Chronicles 35:1? It doesn’t match either Rahlfs or Swete.

I searched... It’s 1 Esdras 1:1? I don’t know the book of 1 Esdras.

I read a little further, it seems that 1 Esdras 1 repeats a lot of 2Chronicles 35.

Ἀρχὴ σοφίας φόβος θεοῦ,

σύνεσις δὲ ἀγαθὴ πᾶσι τοῖς ποιοῦσιν αὐτήν·

εὐσέβεια δὲ εἰς θεὸν ἀρχὴ αἰσθήσεως,

σοφίαν δὲ καὶ παιδείαν ἀσεβεῖς ἐξουθενήσουσιν.
