    Comments: In translating {S:04000501100022} it is important to indicate that the words spoken are not evil in themselves, but the content of what is spoken involves attributing evil and wicked deeds to the followers of Jesus. It may, therefore, be necessary to say in some languages ‘when men speak against you by saying that you have done wicked deeds.’

    Comments: In a number of languages one must speak of ‘bad fruit’ in the context of {S:04000701800012} as ‘fruit which does not taste good.’ It is often wrong to use an expression such as ‘rotten fruit,’ since a good tree may produce fruit which rots as a result of being overly ripe.

    DefinitionShort: pertaining to guilt resulting from an evil deed
    Glosses: guilty
    Comments: In a number of languages it would be entirely misleading to speak of ‘a guilty conscience,’ for this would seem to imply that there is something sinful about the conscience itself. In reality, it is the conscience that says that a person is guilty, and therefore it may be necessary to translate {S:05801002200026} as ‘with hearts that have been purified from a condition in which their conscience has said that they are guilty.’
