ℹ️ This corpus has no morphological tagging. Glosses are matched by word form against a dictionary — a match does not prove it is the same word (an inflected form can coincide with another word’s lemma). 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).
36:1
Videte vocationem vestram, fratres charissimi (1 Cor. I, 26). Venire ad eremum summa perfectio est; non perfecte in eremo vivere, summa damnatio est. Quid prodest, si in loco quies teneatur, et inquietudo in corde vers tur ? Si in habitatione silentium si, etc.
Behold your calling, most beloved brethren (1 Cor. 1:26). To come to the desert is the highest perfection; not to live perfectly in the desert is the highest damnation. What does it profit, if quiet be kept in a place, while restlessness is turned about within the heart? If there be silence in the dwelling, and so forth.
至親愛的弟兄們,看你們的蒙召(哥林多前書一26)。來到曠野乃是至高的成全;在曠野中不完全地度日卻是至深的沉淪。倘若一處之中保持了安靜,而不安卻在心中翻攪,這有何益處呢?倘若在住所中有靜默,云云。
