1 Tim. 2:15. And in holiness with chastity.
By "holiness" the apostle means purity of the body. But since not all are virgins, he added: "with modesty." For modesty is not denied to those who live in lawful marriage. Or he simply calls purity modesty. But what if a wicked mother raises her children well? This, although unlikely, if it happens, she will receive a reward for them. But what if a good mother raises her children poorly? If she was negligent and indulged them, she will share the fate of Eli. But if, despite all her care and suffering, she could not make them better — which happens rarely — she will still receive a reward for her labors, since even the Son of God, despite all His works and teaching, had few, however, who believed.
