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).
4-4:1
Μετάνοια τότε ἁμαρτήματος παντὸς γίνεται ἀπαλειπτική, ὅταν ἐπὶ τῷ γενομένω ψυχῆς σφάλματι ἀναβολὴν μὴ δέξηται, μηδὲ παραπέμψῃ τὸ πάθος εἰς χρονικὸν διάστημα· οὕτω γὰρ οὐχ ἕξει καταλεῖψαι ἴχνος ἐν ἡμῖν τὸ κακόν, ἅτε ἅμα τῷ ἐπιβῆναι ἀποσπασθὲν δίκην φυτοῦ ἀρτισυστάτου
Repentance becomes effective in blotting out every sin then, when, upon the fault committed by the soul, it admits no delay, nor remits the passion to a lapse of time; for thus the evil will have no power to leave a trace in us, being torn away the moment it sets in, like a freshly-set plant.
悔改之所以能塗抹一切的罪,乃是在這時候:當魂一犯了過錯,悔改便不容延遲,也不把那情慾拖延到一段時日;因為這樣,那惡便無力在我們裏面留下痕跡,因它一發動就被拔除了,如同一株剛栽下的植物一般。
