Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

21.15 Si habuerit homo uxores duas, etc. Christus sibi duas uxores, populum scilicet Judæorum et gentium, conjugii copulavit nomine. Odiosa est synagoga, semper contentiosa, dura cervice, incircumcisa corde; dilecta gentilis Ecclesia. Sed non potest filium dilectæ præferre filio odiosæ, id est Ecclesiam de gentibus et filios ejus præferre apostolis et aliis primitivis, qui sunt filii synagogæ. Agnoscit odiosæ primogenitum, dat ei duplicia, quia primitivis synagogæ filiis dedit legem et prophetas, et notitiam nominis sui, et primo eis Evangelium prædicavit. Hic enim est primogenitus liberorum ejus. Unam dilectam. Animalitatem, quæ dulcis videtur et delectabilis: omnia voluptuosa cupit et nullo mœrore afficit. Alteram odiosam. Rationalitatem, quæ non indulget corpori, nec servit voluptati, sed abdicat occulta dedecoris.
