1Some say that "Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit." They're wrong; they don't know what they're saying.

2When did a woman ever conceive by a woman?

3"Mary is the virgin whom no power defiled" is the great testimony of those Hebrews who became (the first) apostles and (the) apostolic (successors).

4The virgin whom no power defiled […] the powers defiled themselves.

5And the Lord [wouldn't] have said, "my [Father who is in] heaven" unless [he] had another father.

6Instead, he would simply have said ["my Father."] The Lord said to the [disciples, "…] [from] every [house] and bring into the Father's house, but don't steal (anything) from the Father's house or carry it away."
