Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[2156] The text reads ἄχρηστος: Sylburg prefers the reading εὔχρηστος.
[2157] Prov. x. 10, Septuagint.
[2158] [διαδιδράσκει τὰ πράγματα. A truly Platonic thrust at sophistical rhetoricians.]
[2159] δειληλυθέναι, suggested by Sylb. As more suitable than the διαλεληθέναι of the text.
[2160] Hermas—close of third vision, [cap. 13. p. 17, supra.]
Chapter II.—The Knowledge of God Can Be Attained Only Through Faith.
[2161] Prov. iii. 5-7, 12, 23.
[2162] Wisd. vii. 17, 20, 21, 22.
[2166] ἔννοιαν, not εὔνοιαν, as in the text.
[2172] Or anticipation, πρόληψις.
[2174] Adopting Lowth’s conjecture of supplying πλήν before θεοσεβείας.
[2175] John xx. 29. [Note this definition of true knowledge, followed by an appeal to the Scriptures as infallible teaching. No need to say that no other infallibility is ever hinted, or dreamed of, by Clement.]
Chapter III.—Faith Not a Product of Nature.
[2176] The text reads ἤ: but Sylb. suggests ᾑ, which we have adopted.
