ℹ️ This corpus has no verse-level morphological tagging. Lemmas come mainly from word-level tagging of other books in the same language (not from this verse), falling back to dictionary form-matching for the rest. Rare homographs can still be misread; verify against the original and a specialist lexicon where precision matters.

And how could this be reasonable? For these things, even if we should keep silent, the very stones will cry out;
Reckoning up, then, all these things, and persuading our own soul that after our departure hence we shall both stand before a fearful judgment-seat, and give account of all our deeds, and undergo scrutiny, and submit to punishment if we persist in transgressing, but shall enjoy crowns and unspeakable good things if we are willing to give ourselves but a little heed—let us both stop the mouths of those who gainsay in these matters, and ourselves choose the path of virtue, that, departing with the fitting confidence to that tribunal, we may attain the good things promised to us, by the grace and lovingkindness of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the might, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.
