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 while they kept silence, I went on: Speaking through David concerning this Christ, my friends, He no longer said that the nations would be blessed in his seed, but in Himself. So there it stands: 'His name shall endure for ever; it shall rise above the sun; and in Him shall all the nations be blessed.' But if all the nations are blessed in Christ, and we from all the nations believe in Him, then He is indeed the Christ, and we are those who are blessed through Him.
God had formerly given the sun to be worshipped, as it is written, and yet no one can be seen ever to have endured to die for faith in the sun; but for the name of Jesus one may see, from every race of men, those who have endured and do endure to suffer all things rather than deny Him. For the word of His truth and wisdom is more fiery and more luminous than the powers of the sun, and penetrates into the depths of the heart and mind. Whence also the Word said, 'His name shall rise above the sun.' And again, Zechariah says, 'Dawn is His name.' And speaking of the same One, he said, 'They shall mourn tribe by tribe.'
But if at His first coming, which was without honour, without form, and despised, He so shone and prevailed that in no race is He unknown, and from every race repentance has been wrought from the old wicked manner of life of each, so that even the demons are subject to His name and all the principalities and kingdoms dread His name above all those who have died, shall He not by all means, at His glorious coming, utterly destroy all those who hated Him and who unjustly departed from Him, but give rest to His own, rendering to them all the things they look for?
To us, then, it has been granted both to hear and to understand and to be saved through this Christ, and to come to know all the things of the Father. Wherefore He said to Him: 'It is a great thing for you to be called my servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to turn back the dispersions of Israel. I have set you for a light of the nations, that you should be for their salvation to the end of the earth.'
