Introductory Note to the Epistle of Barnabas
[1666] 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.
[1667] 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.”
[1668] Cod. Sin. reads, “Shall we not then?”
[1670] “Barnabas here bears testimony to the observance of the Lord’s Day in early times.”—Hefele.
[1671] 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.
Chapter XVI.—The spiritual temple of God.
[1672] That is, “they worshipped the temple instead of Him.”
[1675] Comp. Isa. xlix. 17 (Sept.).
[1676] Cod. Sin. omits this.
[1677] Comp. Isa. v., Jer. xxv.; but the words do not occur in Scripture.
[1678] Dan. ix. 24-27; Hag. ii. 10.
[1679] Cod. Sin. reads, “the calling.”
[1680] Cod. Sin. gives the clauses of this sentence separately, each occupying a line.
[1681] That is, the man who is engaged in preaching the Gospel.
[1682] Such is the punctuation adopted by Hefele, Dressel, and Hilgenfeld.
Chapter XVII.—Conclusion of the first part of the epistle.
[1683] Cod. Sin. reads, “my soul hopes that it has not omitted anything.”
[1684] 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.”
Chapter XVIII.—Second part of the epistle. The two ways.
[1685] Comp.2 Cor. xii. 7.
[1686] Cod. Sin. reads, “of the present time of iniquity.”
Chapter XIX.—The way of light.
