Cornelius Lapide Commentary

 My intention with this blog is to give previews into my work in providing the Latin and English (generated) translation of Cornelius' commentaries that are not translated into English. On most website you only find about half of the NT. I am working now on the letter of James, it is very slow and tedious. I've worked a about an hour a day for a month and I am only at about 1:14!

Ut sit græcismus, διὰ [τῆς] τεκνογονίας, id est, τεκνογονουσα, per filiorum generationem, id est filios generans, vel in filiorum generatione salvabitur. Si...
