Note to Anon (FoGT) 36III

[8]: All previous eds except Kock (NN §2587) have taken lífs ‘of life’ (l. 8) with með beisku grandi ‘with bitter injury’, and, while that is possible, much better sense in a Christian context is produced by taking lífs with andar ‘[the whole nature] of the life of the soul’. For the sinner, death destroys the whole nature of the life of the soul if the soul is damned in Hell.
