Prayer of Manasseh

Included with a flag. It stands in the Greek tradition among the odes, and mainstream Orthodox use treats it as scripture. The evidence that it was already in religious use by 32 AD is thinner than for Psalm 151 or 1 Esdras. The canon page keeps that caution next to the title.

Orthodox, with use before 32 AD · Greek

This book is in the canon. No English is printed here as scripture. A sample paragraph would pretend to be the book, and this site does not do that.

Translation starts only when a book is drafted from its Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek witnesses, with the footnotes kept on the verse.
