¹⁴ But de thanks charis be to ho God theos, who ho is always pantote leading thriambeuō us hēmeis in triumph in en · ho Christ Christos, and kai through dia us hēmeis is making known phaneroō the ho fragrance osmē of the ho knowledge gnōsis of him autos in en every pas place topos. ¹⁵ For hoti we are eimi an aroma euōdia of Christ Christos to ho God theos among en those ho who are being saved sōzō. · kai Among en those ho who are perishing apollymi ¹⁶ we are a deadly ek fume osmē that eis kills thanatos, but de to the former hos we are a life-giving ek fragrance osmē that eis brings life zōē. And kai who tis is adequate hikanos for pros ministry like this houtos? ¹⁷ For gar we are eimi not ou like hōs · ho so many polys, peddling kapēleuō the ho word logos of ho God theos. To the contrary alla, in en Christ Christos we speak laleō in the sight katenanti of God theos as hōs men of ek sincerity eilikrineia, as hōs men sent from ek God theos.

3 Are we beginning archō to recommend synistēmi ourselves heautou again palin? We do not mē need chrēzō, as hōs some tis do, letters epistolē of recommendation systatikos to pros you hymeis or ē from ek you hymeis, do we? ² You eimi yourselves hymeis are eimi · ho our hēmeis letter epistolē, written engraphō on en · ho our hēmeis hearts kardia, known ginōskō and kai read anaginōskō by hypo all pas people anthrōpos; ³ making known phaneroō that hoti you are eimi a letter epistolē of Christ Christos, delivered diakoneō by hypo us hēmeis, written engraphō not ou in ink melas but alla by the Spirit pneuma of the living zaō God theos, not ou on en tablets plax of stone lithinos but alla on en tablets plax of human sarkinos hearts kardia. ⁴ Such toioutos is the confidence pepoithēsis · de we have echō through dia · ho Christ Christos toward pros · ho God theos. ⁵ Not ou that hoti we are eimi adequate hikanos in apo ourselves heautou to consider logizomai anything tis as hōs coming from ek us heautou, but alla · ho our hēmeis adequacy hikanotēs comes from ek · ho God theos, ⁶ who hos indeed kai made us hēmeis adequate hikanoō as servants diakonos of a new kainos covenant diathēkē, based not ou on the letter gramma but alla on the Spirit pneuma; for gar the ho letter gramma kills apokteinō, but de the ho Spirit pneuma imparts life zōiopoieō.

10 Then kai Jesus left anistēmi that place ekeithen and went erchomai to eis the ho region horion of ho Judea Ioudaia and kai beyond peran the ho Jordan Iordanēs, and kai crowds ochlos gathered symporeuomai around pros him autos again palin. And kai again palin, as hōs was his custom eiōtha, he began to teach didaskō them autos. ² And kai Pharisees Pharisaios came proserchomai up and asked eperōtaō him autos if ei it was lawful for a man anēr to divorce apolyō his wife gynē, in order to test peirazō him autos. ³ In response apokrinomai he ho · de said legō to them autos, “ What tis did entellō Moses Mōysēs command entellō you hymeis?” ⁴ They ho · de said legō, “ Moses Mōysēs permitted epitrepō a man to write graphō a certificate biblion of divorce apostasion and kai to send apolyō her away .” ⁵ · ho But de Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, “ Because pros of · ho your hymeis hardness sklērokardia of heart he wrote graphō this houtos commandment entolē for you hymeis. · ho ⁶ But de from apo the beginning archē of creation ktisis, ‘ male arsēn and kai female thēlys’ he made poieō them autos. ⁷ ‘For this houtos reason a man anthrōpos shall leave kataleipō · ho his autos father patēr and kai · ho mother mētēr and kai be joined proskollaō to pros · ho his autos wife gynē, ⁸ and kai the ho two dyo shall be eimi one heis flesh sarx.’ So hōste no ouketi longer are eimi they two dyo, but alla one heis flesh sarx. ⁹ Therefore oun what hos · ho God theos has joined syzeugnymi together , let not mē man anthrōpos divide chōrizō.”

¹⁰ And kai in eis the ho house oikia, the ho disciples mathētēs were eperōtaō again palin questioning eperōtaō him autos about peri this houtos matter . ¹¹ And kai he said legō to them autos, “ Whoever hos an divorces apolyō · ho his autos wife gynē and kai marries gameō another allos woman commits adultery moichaō against epi her autos. ¹² And kai if ean she autos, after divorcing apolyō · ho her autos husband anēr, marries gameō another allos man , she commits adultery moichaō.”

¹³ And kai people were bringing prospherō to him autos children paidion so hina that he could touch haptō them autos, but de his ho disciples mathētēs rebuked epitimaō them autos. ¹⁴ But de when Jesus Iēsous saw it, · ho he was indignant aganakteō and kai said legō to them autos, “ Let aphiēmi the ho children paidion come erchomai to pros me egō. Do not mē prevent kōlyō them autos, · ho for gar of such toioutos is eimi the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos. ¹⁵ I tell legō you hymeis the truth amēn, whoever hos an does not mē receive dechomai the ho kingdom basileia of ho God theos as hōs a child paidion will never ou mē enter eiserchomai it autos.” ¹⁶ And kai taking enankalizomai them autos into his arms, he blessed kateulogeō them, laying tithēmi his ho hands cheir on epi them autos.
