Fußnoten
(a)9:2 Or: ‘power over your soul.’(Conte)
(b)9:4 This is not an condemnation of dancing or singing, but of the excessive use of entertainment in any form, lest perhaps the entertainment may have an excessive influence over you. The need to be constantly entertained is one of the fundamental flaws of modern secular society. A less literal translation is used here, in order to clarify the truth of this passage and to avoid misunderstanding.(Conte)
(c)9:8 The ornate woman is not merely a woman with some make-up and jewelry. This is a woman who is excessively and ostentatiously adorned. She does not use a modest adornment to complement and bring out her natural beauty, but instead she offers a beauty which is of the adornment itself. It is not her own beauty, but the beauty of another.(Conte)
(d)9:13 If a man argues passionately with another man’s wife, while they are drinking wine, the passion of the argument might turn into the passion of the flesh, and then by his blood, i.e. his passion, he might commit adultery.(Conte)
(e)9:17 The denizens of Hell are unable to sin and are compelled to acknowledge the whole truth about their lives and about God. Thus, in Hell, the wicked finally please.(Conte)
