Matthew 18:25
Through the sale of the wife and the rest is signified the total removal and complete falling away of the pleasant things from God. The sale shows alienation from God; for those to whom that bitter, unsmiling word comes are alien to God: “Depart from me, workers of lawlessness; for I never knew you.” (Matthew 18:25) (Matthew 7:23)
Greek
∆ιὰ τῆς πράσεως τῆς γυναικὸς καὶ τῶν λοιπῶν σημαίνεται τῶν παρὰ θεοῦ τερπνῶν ἡ εἰς ἅπαν ἀφαίρεσις καὶ ἀπόπτωσις παντελής. ἡ δὲ πρᾶσις δηλοῖ τὴν ἀλλοτρίωσιν δηλονότι τὴν ἀπὸ θεοῦ· ἀλλότριοι γὰρ θεοῦ πρὸς οὓς ἂν γένοιτο λόγος ὁ πικρὸς ἐκεῖνος καὶ ἀμειδής· "ἀπό στητε ἀπ' ἐμοῦ ἐργάται" τῆς ἀνομίας· "οὐδέπω" γὰρ "ἔγνων ὑμᾶς".
