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).

But for us especially, who had hung our hopes upon the Christ of God, there was unspeakable gladness, and a kind of divine joy bloomed upon all, as we beheld every place that a little before had been laid in ruins by the impieties of the tyrants now coming back to life as from a long and deadly destruction, and temples again rising from their foundations to a boundless height, and receiving a splendour far surpassing that of those formerly besieged.
Moreover the supreme Emperors, by continual legislation on behalf of the Christians, confirmed God's great bounty toward us yet more lastingly and more largely; and letters from the Emperor came in person to the bishops, with honours and gifts of money. It will not be out of place, at the proper point in this account, to engrave in this book—as upon a sacred monument—the texts of these documents, translated from the language of the Romans into Greek, that they may also be carried in memory to all who come after us.
