The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Literature and Dogma: An Essay towards a Better Apprehension of the Bible (1873), Popular Edition (London, Smith, Elder, 1883), Ch. II 'Aberglaube Invading', opening; Conclusion, p. 229.
Arnold's definition of God, repeated through the book, is 'the Eternal Power, not ourselves, that makes for righteousness'. Tolstoy drops 'not ourselves', renders 'the Eternal' as «то бесконечное» (that infinite), and turns 'makes for righteousness' into «требует от нас праведности» (demands righteousness of us). The change follows his own reading: writing to Urusov he described Arnold's God as a law that «требует порядка для мира, праведности для человека» (requires order for the world, righteousness for man).
