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).
Gregory to Azimarchus, scribo. As much as the report of your shipwreck grieved us when we learned of it, so much did the following letter relieve us, since we learned that your Magnificence had reached Sicily unharmed. And we give thanks to our Creator, who protected you with his wonted mercy and delivered you from the peril of the sea. Wherefore it is needful that you should always so keep before your eyes God's mercy—which you perceive to have been so often bestowed upon you—in every act, that his grace may be heaped upon you; and that, as he has snatched you from outward perils, so also he may deliver you from inward ones. Greeting you therefore with fatherly sweetness, we ask that, whenever occasion offers itself, you would relieve us with news of your safety.
