Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria

[2406] 2 Cor. x. 3.

[2407] 1 Cor. xv. 50.

[2408] Heb. xiii. 5.

Chapter XXI.—Opinions of Various Philosophers on the Chief Good.

[2409] The text has ἀρετῶν, virtues, for which, in accordance with Pythagoras’ well-known opinion, ἀριθμῶν has been substituted from Theodoret.

[2410] For κατάπληξιν of the text, Heinsius reads ἀκατάπληξιν, which corresponds to the other term ascribed to Democritus—ἁθαμβίην.

Chapter XXII.—Plato’s Opinion, that the Chief Good Consists in Assimilation to God, and Its Agreement with Scripture.

[2411] Luke xiv. 11.

[2412] Rom. vi. 22.

[2413] Rom. v. 4, 5.

[2414] Probably Heb. iv. 8, 9.

[2415] Ezek. xviii. 4-9.

[2416] Isa. lv. 6-7, 9.

[2417] Gal. v. 5, 6.

[2418] Heb. vi. 11-20.

[2419] Prov. i. 33.

[2420] 1 Cor. xi. 1.

Chapter XXIII.—On Marriage.

[2421] [He places the essence of marriage in the chaste consummation itself, the first after lawful nuptials. Such is the force of this definition, which the note in ed. Migne misrepresents, as if it were a denial that second nuptials are marriage.]

[2422] Gen. xx. 12.

[2423] Tob. iv. 15.

[2424] Gen. i. 28.

[2425] [The offering of the purification has a beautiful regard to the example of the turtle-dove; and the marriage-ring may have been suggested by the ringdove, a symbol of constancy in nature.]

[2426] Gen. ii. 18. [A beautiful tribute to the true wife.]
