Introductory Note to the Epistle of Barnabas
[1577] Literally, “in spirit.”
[1578] Cod. Sin. inserts, “and gaze about for some way of escape on account of their greediness, even as these birds alone do not procure food for themselves (by labour), but sitting idle, seek to devour the flesh of others.” The text as above seems preferable: Hilgenfeld, however, follows the Greek.
[1579] Cod. Sin. has, “condemned already.”
[1580] Dressel has a note upon this passage, in which he refers the words we have rendered, “corrupters of boys,” to those who by their dissolute lives waste their fortunes, and so entail destruction on their children; but this does not appear satisfactory. Comp. Clem. Alex. Pædag. ii. 10.
[1581] We have left τρύπας untranslated. [Cavities, i.e., of conception].
[1582] Cod. Sin. has, “with the body through uncleanness,” and so again in the last clause.
[1583] Cod. Sin. inserts, “having received.”
[1585] Literally, “of the pestilent.”
[1586] Cod. Sin. reads, “perfectly,” instead of “perfect,” as do most mss.; but, according to Dressel, we should read, “have a perfect knowledge concerning the food.” Hilgenfeld follows the Greek.
[1587] Or, “resting upon Him.”
[1588] Cod. Sin. here has the singular, “one who ruminates.”
[1589] Literally, “holy age.”
[1590] Cod. Sin. inserts again, “rightly.”
Chapter XI.—Baptism and the cross prefigured in the Old Testament.
[1591] Literally, “should build.”
[1592] Cod. Sin. has, “confine still more,” corrected to “tremble still more.”
[1593] Cod. Sin. has, “have dug a pit of death.” See Jer. ii. 12, 13.
[1594] Comp.Isa. xvi. 1, 2.
[1595] Literally, “dark.” Cod. Sin. has, “of darkness.”
