وَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ كَانَتْ خَاطِئَةً، إِذْ عَلِمَتْ أَنَّهُ مُتَّكِئٌ فِي بَيْتِ الْفَرِّيسِيِّ، جَاءَتْ بِقَارُورَةِ طِيبٍAnd, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,Luke 7:37, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَهَلْ صَارَ لِي الصَّالِحُ مَوْتًا؟ حَاشَا! بَلِ الْخَطِيَّةُ. لِكَيْ تَظْهَرَ خَطِيَّةً مُنْشِئَةً لِي بِالصَّالِحِ مَوْتًا، لِكَيْ تَصِيرَ الْخَطِيَّةُ خَاطِئَةً جِدًّا بِالْوَصِيَّةِ.Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.Romans 7:13, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
فَلَمَّا رَأَى الْفَرِّيسِيُّ الَّذِي دَعَاهُ ذلِكَ، تَكَلَّمَ فِي نَفْسِهِ قِائِلاً: «لَوْ كَانَ هذَا نَبِيًّا، لَعَلِمَ مَنْ هذِهِ الامَرْأَةُ الَّتِي تَلْمِسُهُ وَمَا هِيَ! إِنَّهَا خَاطِئَةٌ».Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.Luke 7:39, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
