Chapter XVII.—Peter’s Speech Continued.
“Foolish, therefore, is every husband who
separates his wife from the fear of God; for she who does not fear God
is not afraid of her husband. If she fear not God, who sees what
is invisible, how will she be chaste in her unseen choice?1183
| 1183 “In
her unseen choice” means, in what course of conduct she really
prefers in her heart. This reading occurs in one ms.; in the other ms. it is
corrupt. Schwegler amended it into, How shall she be chaste
towards him who does not see what is invisible?” and the
emendation is adopted by Dressel. | And how will she be chaste, who
does not come to the assembly to hear chaste-making words? And
how could she obtain admonition? And how will she be chaste
without watchmen, if she be
not informed in regard to the coming judgement of God, and if she be
not fully assured that eternal punishment is the penalty for the slight
pleasure? Wherefore, on the other hand, compel her even against
her will always to come to hear the chaste-making word, yea, coax her
to do so.
