Tried getting a translation on the internet, but couldn't make it happen. Can anyone provide a translation of this passage?
ἡ νῦν ὑπό τινων χρηστότης καλουμένη
μεθῆκε τὸν ὃλον εἰς πονηρίαν βίον·
οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἀδικῶν τυγχάνει τιμωρίας[1]
[1] Richard Chenevix Trench, Synonyms of the New Testament (London: Macmillan and Co., 1880), 235.
Thanks for any input.
"Now, what some call "benevolence" set the people free to a completely ungodly life, as no unjust person finds punishment."
Much thanks, Lucien!
Shalom Lucien!
Lucian Benigno: "Now, what some call "benevolence" set the people free to a completely ungodly life, as no unjust person finds punishment."
Is it permitted to share your translation in the community notes of the Ancient to English Faithlife group?
Surely. But there's nothing special here; this is only an idiomatic translation to express the general meaning (no formal rigour intended).
