Introductory Note to the Epistle of Barnabas
[1553] Cod. Sin. has “Lord.”
[1555] In proof of the spiritual meaning of circumcision; but Hilgenfeld joins the words to the preceding sentence.
[1557] Cod. Sin. reads, “it is the voice,” corrected, however, as above.
[1558] Cod. Sin. has, “that we might hear the word, and not only believe,” plainly a corrupt text.
[1559] Cod. Sin., at first hand, has “slew them,” but is corrected as above.
[1560] The meaning is here very obscure, but the above rendering and punctuation seem preferable to any other.
[1561] Cod. Sin., with several other mss., leaves out “new.”
[1562] Jer. iv. 3. Cod. Sin. has “God” instead of “Lord.”
[1564] This contrast seems to be marked in the original. Cod. Sin. has, “Behold, receive again.”
[1566] Dressel and Hilgenfeld read, “their covenant,” as does Cod. Sin.; we have followed Hefele.
[1567] Cod. Sin. has “children of love,” omitting “richly,” and inserting it before “looking forward.”
[1568] Literally, “doctrines.”
[1569] Not found in Scripture: but comp.Gen. xvii. 26, 27, Gen. xiv. 14.
[1570] Cod. Sin. inserts, “and then making a pause.”
[1571] This sentence is altogether omitted by inadvertence in Cod. Sin.
[1572] Some mss. here read, “and further:” the above is the reading in Cod. Sin., and is also that of Hefele.
[1573] This is rendered in the Latin, “the more profound gift,” referring, as it does, to the Gnosis of the initiated. The same word is used in chap. i.
