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).
5-7:7
Ἀπολογεῖται περὶ τοῦ θεοῦ, διὰ τί τοὺς πειρατὰς ἀφῆκεν πειράζειν ἡμᾶς· καὶ φησίν, ὅτι οὐκ ἠδύνατο δίκαιος εἶναι ἄνθρωπος, μὴ ὄντος αὐτῷ ἀνταγωνιστοῦ
He makes a defence concerning God, as to why He permitted the tempters to tempt us; and he says that a man could not be righteous if he had no adversary to contend against.
他為神作了一番申辯,論到神為何容許那些試探者試探我們;他說,人若沒有一個可與之較量的對敵,便不能成為義的。
