What is male is always chosen by God as most ready for combat, able to come into youth — that is, into spiritual fitness — to sow seed, to teach others, and strong enough to measure “to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.” (Matthew 14:21) (Ephesians 4:13)

Greek

Ἐκλεκτὸν ἀεὶ θεῷ τὸ ἄρρεν ὡς μαχιμώτατον καὶ εἰς ἥβην ἐλθεῖν ἤγουν εἰς εὐεξίαν 20 πνευματικὴν καὶ σπερματίζειν καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς δι δάσκειν δυνάμενον καὶ ἀναμετρεῖν "εἰς μέτρον ἡλικίας τοῦ πληρώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ" ἰσχῦον.
