         Comments: It would be wrong to restructure {S:04300100300012} to read ‘he made everything in all creation,’ for in the Scriptures God is spoken of as the Creator, but the creation was done ‘through the Word.’ If one must restructure {S:04300100300012}, it may be possible to say ‘he was involved in everything that was created’ or ‘he took part in creating everything.’|In {S:04601101100016} χωρίς does not specify the particular relationship but only indicates the lack of relationship or involvement. This, of course, is negated by οὔτε, so that one may translate this portion of {S:04601101100016} as ‘nor is woman without some relationship to man, nor is man without relationship to woman.’ In view of the overall context, one may then render the passage simply as ‘woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.’ In some languages, however, it may be necessary of ‘wife’ and ‘husband,’ since terms for ‘man’ or ‘woman’ may be wrongly interpreted in a strictly erotic sense.|Because of the double negation of {S:04601101100016}, in some languages it may be necessary to employ a positive equivalent, for example, ‘for woman is dependent on man and man is dependent on woman’ or ‘a wife is dependent on her husband and a husband is dependent on his wife.’|The expression ‘apart from any works’ in {S:04500400600028} may be rendered in some languages as ‘and what a person does, does not count’ or ‘and this is not because of what one does.’
