48. ὁ δὲ μὴ γνούς. He that knew not fully (Jon 4:11; 1Ti 1:13), for there is no such thing as absolute moral ignorance (Rom 1:20; Rom 2:14-15).
δαρήσεται ὀλίγας. A most important passage, as alone clearly stating that punishment shall be proportional to sin, and that there shall be a righteous relation between the amount of the two. They who knew not will not of course be punished for any involuntary ignorance, but only for actual misdoing.
