{Never able to come to the knowledge of the truth} (m(8864)epote
eis epign(9373)in al(8874)heias elthein dunamena). Pathetic picture of
these hypnotized women without intellectual power to cut through
the fog of words and, though always learning scraps of things,
they never come into the full knowledge (epign(9373)in) of the
truth in Christ. And yet they even pride themselves on belonging
to the intelligentsia!
