Sa se pawòl Bondye a pa t 'vle di lòt timoun yo montre nan sèvi ak li yo nan ka sa a dekri yon fanm ki te mouri apre nesans lan nan premye pitit li, ki pa t kapab evidamman te gen lòt moun” (Theotokos: Yon Ansiklopedi Théologie nan Benediksyon Vyèj Mari a, Michael Verye, 1982, p. 49).

Michael O’Carroll, furthermore, reported, “The Jewish burial inscription in Egypt, dating from the first century, … helps answer the objection against Mary’s perpetual virginity based on St. Luke’s use of the word ‘first-born’ (prototokos) (2:7). That the word did not imply other children is shown by its use in this case to describe a woman who died after the birth of her first child, who could not obviously have had others” (Theotokos: A Theological Encyclopedia of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Michael Glazier, 1982, p. 49).
