The female race has gained both the loosing of reproach and the overturning of the curse. For the one who once said to them, “In pains you will bear children,” (Matthew 28:9–10) gave them a pause when he met them in the garden and said, “Rejoice.” (Genesis 3:16) With exceeding gladness the women came to him — and he was healing what had suffered, and leading them into good hopes.

Κεκέρδακε τὸ θῆλυ γένος καὶ λύσιν ὀνειδισμοῦ καὶ κατάρας ἀνατροπήν· ὁ γὰρ εἰπὼν πάλαι πρὸς αὐτὰς "ἐν λύπαις τέξῃ τέκνα" παῦλαν αὐταῖς δέδωκε συναντήσας αὐταῖς ἐν τῷ κήπῳ καὶ εἰπὼν χαίρετε. μεθ' ὑπερβαλλούσης εὐφροσύνης αἱ γυναῖκες αὐτῷ–καὶ εἰς χρηστὰς ἐλπίδας καὶ τὸ πεπονηκὸς ἰώμενος.
