INDEX OF TEXTS (5)

Apostolic Fathers · The Writings of the Apostolic Fathers · 405 of 411

669.  Jer. xvii. 24, 25.

670.  Gen. ii. 2. The Hebrew text is here followed, the Septuagint reading “sixth” instead of “seventh.”

671.  Cod. Sin. reads “signifies.”

672.  Cod. Sin. adds, “to me.”

673.  Cod. Sin. reads, “The day of the Lord shall be as a thousand years.”

674.  Ps. xc. 4; 2 Pet. iii. 8

675.  Cod. Sin. seems properly to omit “of the wicked man.”

676.  Cod. Sin. places stars before moon.

677.  Cod. Sin. reads “again,” but is corrected as above.

678.  The meaning is, “If the Sabbaths of the Jews were the true Sabbath, we should have been deceived by God, who demands pure hands and a pure heart.”—Hefele.

679.  Cod. Sin. has, “But if not.” Hilgenfeld’s text of this confused passage reads as follows: “Who then can sanctify the day which God has sanctified, except the man who is of a pure heart? We are deceived (or mistaken) in all things. Behold, therefore,” etc.

680.  Cod. Sin. reads, “resting aright, we shall sanctify it, having been justified, and received the promise, iniquity no longer existing, but all things having been made new by the Lord.”

681.  Cod. Sin. reads, “Shall we not then?”

682.  Isa. i. 13.

683.  “Barnabas here bears testimony to the observance of the Lord’s day in early times.”—Hefele.

684.  We here follow the punctuation of Dressel: Hefele places only a comma, between the clauses, and inclines to think that the writer implies that the ascension of Christ took place on the first day of the week.

685.  That is, “they worshipped the temple instead of Him.”

686.  Isa. xl. 12.

687.  Isa. lxvi. 1.

688.  Comp. Isa. xlix. 17 (Sept.).

689.  Cod. Sin. omits this.

690.  Comp. Isa. v., Jer. xxv.; but the words do not occur in Scripture.

691.  Dan. ix. 24-27; Hagg. ii. 10.

692.  Cod. Sin. reads, “the calling.”

693.  Cod. Sin. gives the clauses of this sentence separately, each occupying a line.

694.  That is, the man who is engaged in preaching the gospel.

695.  Such is the punctuation adopted by Hefele, Dressel, and Hilgenfeld.

696.  Cod. Sin. reads, “my soul hopes that it has not omitted anything.”

697.  Cod. Sin., “about things present or future.” Hilgenfeld’s text of this passage is as follows: “My mind and soul hopes that, according to my desire, I have omitted none of the things that pertain to salvation. For if I should write to you about things present or future,” etc. Hefele gives the text as above, and understands the meaning to be, “points bearing on the present argument.”

698.  Comp. 2 Cor. xii. 7.

699.  Cod. Sin. reads, “of the present time of iniquity.”

700.  Cod. Sin. inserts, “Thou shalt fear Him that formed thee.”

701.  Cod. Sin. adds, “in all things.”

702.  Literally, “shalt not give insolence to thy soul.”

703.  “That is, while proclaiming the gospel, thou shalt not in any way be of corrupt morals.”—Hefele.

704.  Isa. lxvi. 2. All the preceding clauses are given in Cod. Sin. in distinct lines.

705.  Comp. James i. 8.

706.  Cod. Sin. has “thy name,” but this is corrected as above.

707.  Cod. Sin. corrects to, “as thine own soul.”

708.  Cod. Sin. has, “of God.”

709.  “Difficulties,” or “troubles.”

710.  Cod. Sin. adds, “knowing that without God nothing happens.”

711.  Cod. Sin. has “talkative,” and omits the following clause.

712.  Cod. Sin. has, “Thou shalt be subject (ὑποταγη—untouched by the corrector) to masters as a type of God.”

713.  Inserted in Cod. Sin.

714.  Cod. Sin. has, “they should not.”

715.  Comp. Eph. vi. 9.

716.  Comp. Rom. viii. 29, 30.

717.  Cod. Sin. has, “and not call.”

718.  Cod. Sin. has, “in that which is incorruptible.”

719.  Cod. Sin. has, “in things that are subject to death,” but is corrected as above.

720.  Or, “the persons of the saints.” Cod. Sin. omits this clause, but it is added by a corrector.

721.  The text is here confused in all the editions; we have followed that of Dressel. Cod. Sin. is defective. Hilgenfeld’s text reads, “Thou shalt seek out every day the faces of the saints, either labouring by word and going to exhort them, and meditating to save a soul by the word, or by thy hands thou shalt labour for the redemption of thy sins”—almost identical with that given above.

722.  Cod. Sin. omits this quotation from Matt. v. 42 or Luke vi. 30, but it is added by a corrector.

723.  Cod. Sin. has, “hate evil.”

724.  Cod. Sin. inserts “and.”

725.  Cod. Sin. omits this clause: it is inserted by a corrector.

726.  Literally, “of the Black One.”

727.  Cod. Sin. joins “eternal” with way, instead of death.

728.  Cod. Sin. reads “transgressions.”

729.  Cod. Sin. omits “magic, avarice.”

730.  Cod. Sin. omits “therefore.”

731.  The things condemned in the previous chapter.

732.  Cod. Sin. has “resurrections,” but is corrected as above.

733.  Cod. Sin. has, “lawgivers of good things.”

734.  Cod. Sin. omits the preposition.

735.  Cod. Sin. omits this.

736.  Cod. Sin. reads, “that ye may be found in the day of judgment,” which Hilgenfeld adopts.

737.  Literally, “While yet the good vessel is with you,” i.e. as long as you are in the body.

738.  Cod. Sin. reads, “fail not in any one of yourselves,” which is adopted by Hilgenfeld.

739.  Corrected in Cod. Sin. to, “it is worthy.”

740.  Cod. Sin. omits this clause, but it is inserted by the corrector.

741.  Cod. Sin. omits “Amen,” and adds at the close, “Epistle of Barnabas.”

742.  The other epistles, bearing the name of Ignatius, will be found in the Appendix; so that the English reader possesses in this volume a complete collection of the Ignatian letters.

743.  Literally, “before the ages.”

744.  These words may agree with “glory,” but are better applied to the “church.”
