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.
ℹ️ The Chinese and English alongside are this site's own translation, made directly from the original text on this page (not the CUV or the WEB, which follow the Masoretic Text and a different textual tradition).
And the wicked demons also put forward Marcion of Pontus, as we said before, who even now teaches men to deny that God is the maker of all things in heaven and on earth, and to deny that the Christ foretold by the prophets is his Son, and proclaims some other god besides the Demiurge who made all things, and likewise another son. Many, persuaded by him as though he alone knew the truth, mock at us, though they have no proof of the things they say, but, like lambs snatched away by a wolf, become irrationally the food of godless doctrines and demons. For those called demons strive after nothing else than to draw men away from God who made them and from his firstborn Christ; and those who cannot lift themselves up from the earth they have nailed and do nail to earthly things and things made with hands, while those who press on toward the contemplation of divine things they trip up, and unless these have a sober and pure and dispassionate reasoning and life, they cast them into impiety.
