Those who, in the passion of men-pleasing, feign forbearance, and do not rebuke sinners, damage the whole, and plot against true life itself. Chap. 2. MATTHEW. But if your brother sins against you, go, rebuke him between you and him alone; if he listens to you, you have gained your brother. TO COR. 1. When you are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. TO COR. 2. For that letter, even if it grieved you for a while, now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved into repentance. For you were grieved according to God, so that you might suffer loss in nothing from us. For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret. TO TITUS. For this reason rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.

DEFINITION 73. That a man should not be separated from a woman, nor a woman from a man,

unless one be caught in fornication, or is hindered in the worship of God. Chap. 1. MATTHEW. And it was said, Whoever divorces 31.852 his wife

of his, let him give her a certificate of divorce. But I say to you, that whoever divorces his wife, except for the reason of fornication, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. LUKE. If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. MATTHEW. But I say to you, that whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. TO COR. 1. But to the married I command, not I, but the Lord, a wife not to be separated from her husband; but if she does separate, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband; and a husband not to leave his wife. That it is not lawful for the one who divorces his own wife to marry another, nor for the one divorced from her husband to be married to another. Chap. 2. MATTHEW. But I say to you, that whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. That husbands ought to love their own wives, with the love with which Christ loved the Church, giving himself up for her, that he might sanctify her. Chap. 3. TO EPHESIANS. Husbands, love your own wives, just as Christ also loved the Church, and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her with the washing of water by the word. And after a little: Thus husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies, and what follows. That wives ought to submit to their own husbands, as the Church also to Christ, doing the will of God. Chap. 4. TO EPHESIANS. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord; for the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the Church; and he is the savior of the body. But just as the Church is subject to Christ, so also wives to their own husbands in everything. TO TITUS. That they may train the young women to love their husbands, to be pure, workers at home, good, submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed. 31.853 That women should not adorn themselves for outward beauty, but should have all zeal and care for good works, and consider this a true and fitting adornment for Christian women. Chap. 5. TO. TIM. 1. Likewise women to adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. That women ought to be silent in church, but at home be diligent about what pertains to God

οἱ ἐν πάθει ἀνθρωπαρεσκείας ἐπιείκειαν ὑποκρινόμενοι, καὶ μὴ ἐλέγχοντες τοὺς ἁμαρτάνοντας, τὸ ὅλον ζημιοῦσι, καὶ εἰς αὐτὴν τὴν ἀληθινὴν ζωὴν ἐπι βουλεύουσιν. Κεφάλ. ʹ. ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΣ. Ἐὰν δὲ ἁμάρτῃ εἰς σὲ ἀδελφός σου, ὕπαγε, ἔλεγξον αὐτὸν μεταξὺ σοῦ καὶ αὐτοῦ μόνου· ἐάν σου ἀκούσῃ, ἐκέρδησας τὸν ἀδελφόν σου. ΠΡΟΣ ΚΟΡ. αʹ. Συναχθέντων ὑμῶν καὶ τοῦ ἐμοῦ πνεύματος σὺν τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, παραδοῦναι τὸν τοιοῦτον τῷ Σατανᾷ εἰς ὄλεθρον τῆς σαρκὸς, ἵνα τὸ πνεῦμα σωθῇ ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ. ΠΡΟΣ ΚΟΡ. βʹ. Ὅτι ἡ ἐπιστολὴ ἐκείνη, εἰ καὶ πρὸς ὥραν ἐλύπησεν ὑμᾶς, νῦν χαίρω, οὐχ ὅτι ἐλυπήθητε, ἀλλ' ὅτι ἐλυπήθητε εἰς μετάνοιαν. Ἐλυπήθητε γὰρ κατὰ Θεὸν, ἵνα ἐν μηδενὶ ζημιωθῆτε ἐξ ἡμῶν. Ἡ γὰρ κατὰ Θεὸν λύπη μετάνοιαν εἰς σωτηρίαν ἀμε ταμέλητον κατεργάζεται. ΠΡΟΣ ΤΙΤ. ∆ι' ἣν αἰτίαν ἔλεγχε αὐτοὺς ἀποτόμως, ἵνα ὑγιαίνωσιν ἐν τῇ πίστει.

ΟΡΟΣ ΟΓʹ. Ὅτι οὐ δεῖ ἄνδρα ἀπὸ γυναικὸς, ἢ γυναῖκα ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς χωρίζεσθαι,

εἰ μή τις ἂν ἐπὶ πορνείᾳ ἁλῷ, ἢ εἰς τὴν θεοσέβειαν κωλύηται. Κεφάλ. αʹ. ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΣ. Ἐῤῥήθη δὲ, ὅτι ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ 31.852 τὴν γυναῖκα

αὑτοῦ, δότω αὐτῇ ἀποστάσιον. Ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν, ὅτι ὃς ἐὰν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὑτοῦ, παρεκτὸς λόγου πορνείας, ποιεῖ αὐτὴν μοιχᾶσθαι· καὶ ὃς ἐὰν ἀπολελυμένην γα μήσῃ, μοιχᾶται. ΛΟΥΚΑΣ. Εἴ τις ἔρχεται πρός με, καὶ οὐ μισεῖ τὸν πατέρα, καὶ τὴν μητέρα, καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα, καὶ τὰ τέκνα, καὶ τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς, καὶ τὰς ἀδελφὰς, ἔτι δὲ καὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ψυχὴν, οὐ δύναταί μου εἶναι μαθητής. ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΣ. Λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν, ὅτι ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὑτοῦ, εἰ μὴ ἐπὶ πορνείᾳ, καὶ γαμήσῃ ἄλλην, μοι χᾶται· καὶ ὁ ἀπολελυμένην γαμήσας, μοιχᾶται. ΠΡΟΣ ΚΟΡ. αʹ. Τοῖς δὲ γεγαμηκόσι παραγγέλλω, οὐκ ἐγὼ, ἀλλ' ὁ Κύριος, γυναῖκα ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς μὴ χωρίζεσθαι· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ χωρισθῇ, μενέτω ἄγαμος, ἢ τῷ ἀνδρὶ καταλλαγήτω· καὶ ἄνδρα γυναῖκα μὴ ἀφιέναι. Ὅτι οὐκ ἔξεστι τῷ ἀπολύσαντι τὴν ἑαυτοῦ γυναῖκα, γαμεῖν ἄλλην, οὔτε τὴν ἀπολελυμένην ἀπὸ ἀνδρὸς, ἑτέρῳ γαμεῖσθαι. Κεφάλ. βʹ. ΜΑΤΘΑΙΟΣ. Λέγω δὲ ὑμῖν, ὅτι ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὑτοῦ, εἰ μὴ ἐπὶ πορνείᾳ, καὶ γα μήσῃ ἄλλην, μοιχᾶται· καὶ ὁ ἀπολελυμένην γαμήσας, μοιχᾶται. Ὅτι δεῖ τοὺς ἄνδρας ἀγαπᾷν τὰς ἑαυτῶν γυναῖ κας, ἀγάπην ἣν ὁ Χριστὸς ἠγάπησε τὴν Ἐκκλη σίαν, παραδοὺς ἑαυτὸν ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς, ἵνα αὐτὴν ἁγιάσῃ. Κεφάλ. γʹ. ΠΡΟΣ ΕΦΕΣ. Οἱ ἄνδρες, ἀγαπᾶτε τὰς γυναῖκας ἑαυτῶν, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς τὴν Ἐκκλησίαν ἠγάπησε, καὶ ἑαυτὸν παρέδωκεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῆς, ἵνα αὐτὴν ἁγιάσῃ, καθαρίσας τῷ λουτρῷ τοῦ ὕδατος ἐν ῥήματι. Καὶ μετ' ὀλίγα· Οὕτως ὀφείλουσιν οἱ ἄνδρες ἀγαπᾷν τὰς ἑαυτῶν γυναῖκας, ὡς τὰ ἑαυ τῶν σώματα, καὶ τὰ ἑξῆς. Ὅτι δεῖ τὰς γυναῖκας ὑποτάσσεσθαι τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀν δράσιν, ὡς καὶ ἡ Ἐκκλησία τῷ Χριστῷ, ποιούσας τὸ θέλημα τοῦ Θεοῦ. Κεφάλ. δʹ. ΠΡΟΣ ΕΦΕΣ. Αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ὑποτασσέσθωσαν, ὡς τῷ Κυρίῳ· ὅτι ὁ ἀνὴρ κε φαλή ἐστι τῆς γυναικὸς, ὡς καὶ ὁ Χριστὸς κε φαλὴ τῆς Ἐκκλησίας· καὶ αὐτός ἐστιν ὁ σω τὴρ τοῦ σώματος. Ἀλλ' ὥσπερ ἡ Ἐκκλησία ὑποτάσσεται τῷ Χριστῷ, οὕτω αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ἐν παντί. ΠΡΟΣ ΤΙΤ. Ἵνα σω φρονίζωσι τὰς νέας, φιλάνδρους εἶναι, ἁγνὰς, οἰκουροὺς, ἀγαθὰς, ὑποτασσομένας τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν, ἵνα μὴ ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ βλασφη μῆται. 31.853 Ὅτι οὐ δεῖ τὰς γυναῖκας πρὸς ὡραϊσμὸν κοσμεῖσθαι, ἀλλὰ τὴν πᾶσαν σπουδὴν καὶ μέριμναν ἔχειν περὶ τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἔργα, καὶ τοῦτον ἡγεῖσθαι ἀληθῆ καὶ πρέποντα Χριστιαναῖς κόσμον. Κεφάλ. εʹ. ΠΡΟΣ. ΤΙΜ. αʹ. Ὡσαύτως γυναῖκας ἐν κατα στολῇ κοσμίῳ μετὰ αἰδοῦς καὶ σωφροσύνης κο σμεῖν ἑαυτάς· μὴ ἐν πλέγμασιν, ἢ χρυσῷ, ἢ μαργαρίταις, ἢ ἱματισμῷ πολυτελεῖ, ἀλλ', ὃ πρέ πει γυναιξὶν, ἐπαγγελλομέναις θεοσέβειαν, δι' ἔργων ἀγαθῶν. Ὅτι δεῖ τὰς γυναῖκας σιγᾷν ἐν ἐκκλησίᾳ, κατ' οἶκον δὲ σπουδαιολογεῖσθαι περὶ τῆς εἰς Θεὸν
