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).

'After that most holy day of the Lord's Nativity, we read of the birth of no man being celebrated except of the blessed John the Baptist alone,' etc. It ends: 'Who, I say, except by obeying teachers, and by resisting the vices and injustices born of covetousness, by turning away from sins, and by redeeming them through fastings and almsgivings,' etc. Like the preceding, it too was published by the same editors in the appendix of the sermons of Saint Augustine, number 65, page 565. Therefore the authority of the Paris codex 3785, which bears inscribed the name of Saint Maximus, does not at all move us.
