Note 4 — Section 141. HERO WORSHIP. II.

Reading edition

[1] Beglückend.

[2] Repeat here the prep. ‘round’, um.

[3] generation = time.

[4] jenes.

[5] to make follow, folgen heißen, which verbs must be placed after the rel. clause; folgen requires the dat.; to trust a person, einem vertrauen.

[6] Use the pl. with this noun.

[7] yea, even unto death.

[8] ‘to make’, here again heißen (to bid), str. v. tr.; which place after ‘follow’ according to App. § 19.

[9] Jesus Christ has retained its Latin declension, thus: N. Jesus Christus; G. Jesu Christi; D. Jesu Christo; Acc. Jesum Christum. Use the dat. Christo, since folgen governs the dat.

[10] ‘to whom’, here wohin (whither), which appears in the German text of the Bible.

[11] ‘to make ready’, here = to enable, befähigen.

[12] wirken is more appropriate here than arbeiten, considering the elevated style of the whole speech.

[13] through — spirits, kraft des göttlichen Geistes, der in ihren reinen, edlen Herzen Zeugnis ablegte.

[14] knew to be, als (followed by the Acc.) ... erkannten.
