Tradition says that Origen took to heart the teaching of Mt 19:12, 
Matt. 19:12 ... καὶ εἰσὶν εὐνοῦχοι οἵτινες εὐνούχισαν ἑαυτοὺς διὰ τὴν β 
ασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν. ὁ δυνάμενος χωρεῖν χωρείτω. 
[Matt. 19:12 ... KAI EISIN EUNOUCOI hOITINES EUNOUCISAN 
hEAUTOUS DIA THN BASILEIAN TWN OURANWN. hO DUNAMENOS 
CWREIN CWREITW. ] 

Ergo?

     Now this strikes me as an appropriate time to use an interlinear.  Mt. 19:12 is presented in Greek script, and it is also transliterated.  But no translation.  If someone, who's translation skills are slow, wants to achieve a quick understanding of the text in question, and doesn't have the time to labor through the verse, word by word, lexicon in hand, a glance at an interlinear would serve a useful  purpose.  Wouldn't you agree?
