7 are not you getting a Belial as
you daughter-in-law and leading
your son’s and your family mem-
bers to eternal hell?
8 OK, as you encourage dowry,
answer my questions?
9 O church, are you not claiming
to be holy? Then listen to me –
how much did God give to Adam
in Eden? Woe to those parents
who desire for others’ earnings
in the name of dowry!
10 Did Adam ask God dowry
when he got married to Eve?
Who is the author of dowry?
Who is the ambassador to
dowry?
11 Do the heathen not live on
dowry? Are they not getting their
sons studied only for dowry?
12 Do the heathen not think that
the more they get dowry so richer
they would be? Are they not get-
ting married only for dowry?
13 Why do you live like a carnal
minded person as the heathen?
They do not know the signifi-
cance of marriage? What about
you?
14 Do you not know that a he-
athen mother-in-law is troubling
her daughter-in-Law for dowry?
Are even women not killing wo-
The Salvation is the Gift of God
men in the name of dowry among
the heathen? What about you?
15 Are many husbands not bur-
ying their wives in the name of
dowry?
16 O church, is it not right for
finding his rib according to
God’s will for a young believer,
and to bring her to him in
marriage?
17 Is a young believer not per-
fect? For him a marriage is noth-
ing but God according to His will
form his rib to make him unison
before the foundation of the wo-
rld to make him perfect?
18 As an example for this - has
God not raised Isaac’s rib in the
house (womb) of Bethuel?
19 Has not Abraham found
Isaac’s rib according to God’s
will, and sent Eliezer to make
Isaac perfect?
20-21 If everyone’s respective
rib reached him, will that family
not be blessed manifolds? Surely
it would be blessed. Is Isaac’s
own family not witnessing this?
22 O church, regarding the
marriage, you are not getting the
faithful unmarried youngster to
his rib,
23 putting a piece of unshrunk

cloth on another garment, grafting
one rib with another one,
24 you are shuddering your sho-
ulders in boast that you have sol-
emnized sacred marriage acco-
rding to God’s will. You are mist-
aking that you don’t know will
of God about marriage.
25 You utter it a sacred marriage
with your lips, but do you know
the meaning of sacred marriage?
26 The sacred marriage means
– to unite a born again believer
according to God’s will, with his
rib (which God had created an
unmarried Born-Again virgin as
believer’s life partner), which
brings glory to the Lord in the
presence of God and His ang-
els in the church.
27 O church, how much dowry
can you give to Christ? It is time
for Him to get you married, so
how much dowry do you give
Him?
28 Has Christ not shed His pr-
ecious blood for you? He got His
whole body crushed, bore nails
in hands and legs, thorny crown
on His head and showed His
love for you?
29 Alas! O church, why did you
allow this social evil practice in
The Salvation is the Gift of God
you?
30 But one among you argues
that – a father is giving dowry
to his own daughter, is he not?
31 he who speaks like this is the
one who already received dow-
ry previously.
32 II One among you is asking
that is a daughter not claiming
inheritance in her father’s pro-
perty? Along with sons, why the
daughters doesn’t have an inhe-
ritance in their parents proper-
ty?
33 He who asks that should
mind our words: It is wise saying
that daughters have equal share
with his sons.
34 But you need to know that
one thing – if the daughters like
sons look after their parents in
their old age,they can claim inhe-
ritance in their father’s property.
35 In this regard the Law says
– give them the share of their
father’s property.
36 In another place it is written
– no inheritance shall change ha-
nds from one place to another,
but every inheritance shall keep
its own hands.
37 Again the word says – their
inheritance is their hands,
