LXX 2 Macc 12:44 Ancient Greek
Septuagint (Swete) — 2 Maccabees
εἰ μὴ γὰρ τοὺς προπεπτωκότας ἀναστῆναι προσεδόκα, περισσὸν καὶ ληρῶδες ὑπὲρ νεκρῶν εὔχεσθαι·
(For if he had not hoped that they that were slain should rise again, it would have seemed superfluous and vain to pray for the dead,)
English: Douay-Rheims (translated from the Vulgate; Greek/Latin numbering)
