This sacred secret, is, great, - I, however, am speaking as to Christ and as tothe assembly; - Nevertheless, ye also, do ye, individually, each man be so loving, his own wife, as himself, and, the wife, see that she reverence her husband.

Ye wives! be submitting yourselves unto your husbands, as is becoming in the Lord; Ye husbands! be loving your wives, and be not embittered against them;

In like manner, ye wives, - submitting yourselves unto your own husbands; in order that, if any are not yielding unto the word, through their wives behaviour, they may, without the word, be won, Having been permitted to behold your reverently chaste behaviour, - Whose adorning, let it be - not the outward, of plaiting the hair and wearing golden ornaments, or putting on of apparel,read more.
But the hidden character, of the heart, - in the incorruptible ornament of the quiet, and meek, spirit, which is, in presence of God, of great price. For, so, at one time, the holy women also, who directed their hope towards God, used to adorn themselves, being in submission unto their own husbands: As, Sarah, was obedient unto Abraham, calling him, lord, - whose children ye have become - so long as ye are doing good, and not bringing yourselves into fear of any single cause of alarm. Ye husbands, in like manner, dwelling with them according to knowledge, - as unto a weaker vessel, unto the female vessel , assigning honour, as joint - inheritors also of life's favour, - to the end that unhindered may be, your prayers.

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that have been sent unto her, - how often, would I have gathered thy children, like as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, - and ye would not!

Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she that slayeth the prophets, and stoneth them that are sent unto her! How often, have I desired to gather together thy children, like as a hen, her own brood, under her wings, - and ye did not desire!

Doth not, wisdom, cry aloud? and, understanding, send forth her voice? At the top of the high places above the way, at the place where paths meet, she taketh her stand: Beside the gates, at the entrance of the city, - at the going in of the openings, she shouteth: -read more.
Unto you, O men, I call, and, my voice, is unto the sons of men; Understand, ye simple ones, shrewdness, and, ye dullards understand sense; Hear, for, princely things, will I speak, and the opening of my lips shall be of equity; For, faithfulness, shall my mouth softly utter, but, the abomination of my lips, shall be lawlessness; In righteousness, shall be all the sayings of my mouth, nothing therein, shall be crafty or perverse; All of them, shall be plain, to them who would understand, and just, to such as would gain knowledge. Receive my correction, and not silver, and knowledge, rather than choicest gold. For better is wisdom, than ornaments of coral, and, no delightful things, can equal her.

For, thus, saith Yahweh, - Behold me! extending unto her like a river, prosperity, And as a torrent o'erflowing, the glory of the nations.

For, Yahweh - as Most High, is to be revered, A great king, over all the earth,

Yahweh is a warlike one, - Yahweh, is his name.

Yahweh, is my shepherd - I shall not want:

But, thou, when thou wouldest pray, enter into thy closet, and, fastening thy door, pray unto thy Father who is in secret, - and, thy Father who seeth in secret, will reward thee.

But which is the father, from among yourselves, whom the son will ask for, a fish, who, instead of a fish, will give him, a serpent? Or shall also ask, an egg, who will give him, a scorpion? If therefore, ye, being, evil, know how to be giving, good gifts, unto your children, how much rather, will, the heavenly Father, give Holy Spirit unto them that ask him!

Or what man, from among yourselves, whom his son shall ask for a loaf, - a stone, will give him? Or, a fish also, shall ask, - a serpent, will give him? If then, ye, being, evil, know how, good gifts, to be giving unto your children, how much more, will, your Father who is in the heavens, give good things to them that ask, him?
