Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 33:14

ἀπέναντι τοῦ κακοῦ τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ ἀπέναντι τοῦ θανάτου ἡ ζωή· οὕτως ἀπέναντι εὐσεβοῦς ἁμαρτωλός.
King James Version (KJV)

Good is set against evil, and life against death: so is the godly against the sinner, and the sinner against the godly.

Modern English

Good is set opposite evil, and life opposite death — so the godly stand opposite the sinner.
