Salvation through Born Again

63 O women who speak so – if
you find your son’s rib according
to the will of the Lord, your son
will be blessed manifold?
64 That your son should be
blessed abundantly yet we write
these things with the authority of
God.
65 Do you want your sons to be
blessed abundantly or lead a
cursed life? Will you who make
suffer others escape God’s wra-
th?
66 O women who desire for
dowry,is marriage not for God’s
various blessings to be multip-
lied?
67 Do you not want your sons
to be multiplied, to be blessed,
to be fruitful as you?
68 Will the scripture become
worthless when it says – he who
finds a wife finds a good thing,
and she who finds a husband fi-
nds love?
69 II You parents, who are boa-
stful of having sons - you are
puffed up for nothing. What do
you gain (high) with sons? What
do you lack with daughters?
What hand is the greatest betw-
een your two hands?
70 Those who have sons should
see to God’s will for their sons
The Salvation is the Gift of God
to get good thing (wives), and
raise their children in the word
of God.
71 Likewise those who have
daughters should not say in des-
pair – alas, we have daughters
and not sons?
72 He who has received dau-
ghters from God, should consi-
der himself to be a preserver of
God’s gift,
73 should raise his daughters in
the word of God, should hand-
over those gift to whom,
74 they are to be entrusted acc-
ording to God’s will.
75 If everyone looks for sons,
where will they get wives for
their sons?
76 If anyone feels bad of his
daughters, how does the will of
God be fulfilled?
77 So he who has daughters
should not get depressed, and
whoever gets married to them
should love the church of Christ,
78 live with the mind of Christ
he should give all things gener-
ously.
79 O church, a rise and avoid
this social evil practice from you.
80 II One is boasting that since
the boy is doing a job and so he
is greater than the girl. Another

says – no, no, my daughter is gre-
ater as she is getting more salary.
81 O foolish men,can you say
which of your two eyes is great-
er? Can you pluck out the left eye
considering right the eye is great-
er?
82 If not, can you pluck out the
right eye considering the left eye
is greater? O foolish men, are not
the couple two eyes to the fami-
ly?
83 O church, if any one encou-
rages social evil practice of dow-
ry, get him away from you.
84 II O church, we condemn you
on behalf of our God who is a
consuming fire on another issue.
85 That is – you are the root
cause that is filled with divorcees
led to heathens’ scorns instead the
families should be multiplied,
fruitful but not doing so?
86 Why are you filled with the
solitary? Why did failure hit your
marital system?
87 You who finds out the will of
God about your unmarried child-
ren, adjoin the ribs with respec-
tive heads,
88 you have seen the worldly so-
urces with human eyes, as putting
a piece of unshrunk cloth on an

old garment,
89 make patching up to mar-
riage. So the patch pulls away
from the garment and the tear is
made worse, isn’t it?
90 Surely the tear will be made
worse. Similarly you have graft-
ed one rib with another’s head.
91 Because of these many soli-
taries are multiplied in you, filled
with divorcees as the thatched
leaves?
92 So avoid the will of man that
is not finding God’s will in mar-
riages.
CHAPTER 6
Oh church, our God,the consu-
ming fire is charging many tran-
sgressions upon you. That is –
at the marriage you look their
houses, exchanging fruits trays,
at marriage arranging door han-
gings with leaves of banners,
daubing boy’s body with powd-
er, sprinkling rice and papers on
bridegroom and bride, why did
you totally mingle with gentile
traditions?Avoid them complet-
ely.
4 O church, one more thing we
are writing to you – at marriage
why is the bride covering her
head? How is this happening?
5 You are puffed up without kn-
