“Thus, from the whole genealogy of Christ it becomes clear that the Son of God did not disdain our corruption and defilement (recall the defiled women). If the Lord did not disdain them, it means that He will not disdain you and me. On the other hand, those circumstances, in which at the beginning of the Gospel of Matthew are given the names of sinful women, is testimony that this entire Gospel was written for those who consider themselves sinners and defiled.”
