Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:86

ἐδιώχθησαν δίκαιοι, ἀλλʼ ὑπὸ ἀνόμων· ἐφυλακίσθησαν, ἀλλʼ ὑπὸ ἀνοσίων· ἐλιθάσθησαν ὑπὸ παρανόμων· ἀπεκτάνθησαν ὑπὸ τῶν μιαρὸν καὶ ἄδικον ζῆλον ἀνειληφότων.

English · Claude translation

The righteous were persecuted, but by the lawless; they were imprisoned, but by the unholy; they were stoned by transgressors; they were killed by those who had taken up foul and unrighteous jealousy.
