Plato, Euthyphro, 10d

ΣΩ. τί δὴ οὖν λέγομεν περὶ τοῦ ὁσίου, ὦ Εὐθύφρων; ἄλλο τι φιλεῖται ὑπὸ θεῶν πάντων, ὡς ὁ σὸς λόγος;γ ΕΥΘ. ναί. ΣΩ. ἆρα διὰ τοῦτο, ὅτι ὅσιόν ἐστιν, ἢ διʼ ἄλλο τι; ΕΥΘ. οὔκ, ἀλλὰ διὰ τοῦτο. ΣΩ. διότι ἄρα ὅσιόν ἐστιν φιλεῖται, ἀλλʼ οὐχ ὅτι φιλεῖται, διὰ τοῦτο ὅσιόν ἐστιν; ΕΥΘ. ἔοικεν. ΣΩ. ἀλλὰ μὲν δὴ διότι γε φιλεῖται ὑπὸ θεῶν φιλούμενόν ἐστι καὶ θεοφιλές. ΕΥΘ. πῶς γὰρ οὔ; ΣΩ. οὐκ ἄρα τὸ θεοφιλὲς ὅσιόν ἐστιν, ὦ Εὐθύφρων, οὐδὲ τὸ ὅσιον θεοφιλές, ὡς σὺ λέγεις, ἀλλʼ ἕτερον τοῦτο τούτου. Euthyphro. Yes. Socrates. For this reason, because it is holy, or for some other reason? Euthyphro. No, for this reason. Socrates. It is loved because it is holy, not holy because it is loved? Euthyphro. I think so. Socrates. But that which is dear to the gods is dear to them and beloved by them because they love it.

Then that which is dear to the gods and that which is holy are not identical, but differ one from the other. Euthyphro. How so, Socrates? Socrates. Because we are agreed that the holy is loved because it is holy and that it is not holy because it is loved; are we not? Euthyphro. Yes. Socrates. But we are agreed that what is dear to the gods is dear to them because they love it, that is, by reason of this love, not that they love it because it is dear. Euthyphro. Very true. Socrates. But if that which is dear to the gods and that which is holy were identical, my dear Euthyphro, then if the holy
2. Plato, Gorgias, 508b, 508a (5th cent. BCE - 4th cent. BCE) 508a. and gods and men are held together by communion and friendship, by orderliness, temperance, and justice; and that is the reason, my friend, why they call the whole of this world by the name of order, not of disorder or dissoluteness. Now you, as it seems to me, do not give proper attention to this, for all your cleverness, but have failed to observe the great power of geometrical equality amongst both gods and men: you hold that self-advantage is what one ought to practice, because you neglect geometry. Very well: either we must refute this statement, that it is by the possession
3. Xenophon, Symposium, 4.47 (5th cent. BCE - 4th cent. BCE) 4.47. Very well; in the first place, it is clear as day that both Greeks and barbarians believe that the gods know everything both present and to come; at any rate, all cities and all races ask the gods, by the diviner’s art, for advice as to what to do and what to avoid. Second, it is likewise manifest that we consider them able to work us good or ill; at all events, every one prays the gods to avert evil and grant blessings.
4. New Testament, John, 3.19-3.21, 9.16, 9.24-9.25, 9.31, 15.23, 16.27 (1st cent. CE - 1st cent. CE) 3.19. This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. 3.20. For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed. 3.21. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God. 9.16. Some therefore of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, because he doesn't keep the Sabbath." Others said, "How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?" There was division among them. 9.24. So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, "Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner. 9.25. He therefore answered, "I don't know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see. 9.31. We know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshipper of God, and does his will, he listens to him. 15.23. He who hates me, hates my Father also. 16.27. for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.
5. New Testament, Mark, 2.16 (1st cent. CE - 1st cent. CE) 2.16. The scribes and the Pharisees, when they saw that he was eating with the sinners and tax collectors, said to his disciples, "Why is it that he eats and drinks with tax collectors and sinners?
