From a fully vowelled text
لَوْ لَمْ أَكُنْ قَدْ جِئْتُ وَكَلَّمْتُهُمْ، لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُمْ خَطِيَّةٌ، وَأَمَّا الآنَ فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ عُذْرٌ فِي خَطِيَّتِهِمْ.If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.John 15:22, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
لأَنَّ أُمُورَهُ غَيْرَ الْمَنْظُورَةِ تُرىَ مُنْذُ خَلْقِ الْعَالَمِ مُدْرَكَةً بِالْمَصْنُوعَاتِ، قُدْرَتَهُ السَّرْمَدِيَّةَ وَلاَهُوتَهُ، حَتَّى إِنَّهُمْ بِلاَ عُذْرٍ.For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:Romans 1:20, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
لِذلِكَ أَنْتَ بِلاَ عُذْرٍ أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ، كُلُّ مَنْ يَدِينُ. لأَنَّكَ فِي مَا تَدِينُ غَيْرَكَ تَحْكُمُ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ. لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَدِينُ تَفْعَلُ تِلْكَ الأُمُورَ بِعَيْنِهَا!Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.Romans 2:1, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
