Wisdom of Solomon

Wisdom of Solomon 18:9

κρυφῆ γὰρ ἐθυσίαζον ὅσιοι παῖδες ἀγαθῶν καὶ τὸν τῆς θειότητος νόμον ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ διέθεντο τῶν αὐτῶν ὁμοίως καὶ ἀγαθῶν καὶ κινδύνων μεταλήψεσθαι τοὺς ἁγίους, πατέρων ἤδη προαναμέλποντες αἴνους.
King James Version (KJV)

For the righteous children of good men did sacrifice secretly, and with one consent made a holy law, that the saints should be like partakers of the same good and evil, the fathers now singing out the songs of praise.

Modern English

The righteous children of good people offered sacrifice secretly, and with one accord agreed on a holy rule, that the holy ones would share alike in the same blessings and dangers, while the ancestors already sang songs of praise.
