[NCE]237. The woman provides a further picture of the church, whose people loved themselves, or their autonomy, so much that they were no longer able to comprehend anything true. This was so even though they had been given the ability to reason — the mental capacity that was to rule in them (verse 16).
Potts(1905-1910) 237
237. The church is further described by the "woman" which so loved self or the Own as to be no longer capable of apprehending truth, although a rational was given them that should "rule" (verse 16).
Elliott(1983-1999) 237
237. The Church is described further still by the woman. This Church so loved itself, that is, the proprium, that it could no longer apprehend any truth at all, even though the rational which was to have dominion was granted to them, verse 16.
Latin(1748-1756) 237
237. Describitur amplius Ecclesia per 'mulierem,' quae ita amavit se seu proprium ut amplius nihil veri capere posset, tametsi eis rationale datum quod dominaretur, vers. 16.
