Fußnoten
(a)41:7 The word ‘inferno’ can refer to Hell, but it can also refer to death in general, even for the good.(Conte)
(b)41:19
Have a shame, etc: That is to say, be ashamed of doing any of these things, which I am now going to mention; for though sometimes shamefacedness is not to be indulged: yet it is often good and necessary: as in the following cases.(Challoner)
(c)41:20 You cannot please everyone, nor can you always avoid offending everyone. So respect for the opinions of others has its limits.(Conte)
(d)41:21 Shame, in the Biblical context, does not merely mean to be ashamed of something sinful or wrong. It also refers to modesty, to a feeling of unworthiness before God, to a reverence of others and a humbling of one’s self. Thus, we should have shame before the truth of God, and the covenant, and the bread that we eat (especially the consecrated bread of the Eucharist), and the humble place where you live.(Conte)
