Brenton 1851
For, bear in mind, that if there be any power which watches over this religion of yours, it will pardon you for all transgressions of the law which you commit through compulsion.
Greek · Brenton
καὶ γὰρ ἐνθυμήθητι, ὡς εἰ καί τις ἐστιν τῆσδε τῆς θρησκείας ἐποπτικὴ δύναμις, συγνωμονήσειν σοι ἐπὶ πᾶσιν διʼ ἀνάγκην παρανομίᾳ γεινομένῃ.
