Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[2761] For σώματος read ωτηρίας.
[2762] 1 Cor. xiii. 13. [Not without allusion to the grand Triad, however. p. 101, this volume.]
[2765] 1 Cor. x. 26, 28, 29, 30, 31.
[2767] Col. iii. 12, 14, 15.
Chapter VIII.—Women as Well as Men, Slaves as Well as Freemen, Candidates for the Martyr’s Crown.
[2768] [The Edin. Translator says “courted the death;” but surely (μελετησάντων) the original merely states the condition of Christians in the second century, “dying daily,” and accepting in daily contemplation the very probable death “by which they should glorify God.”]
[2769] [Note the Catholic democracy of Christianity, which levels up and not downward.]
[2770] [This vindication of the equality of the sexes is a comment on what the Gospel found woman’s estate, and on what it created for her among Christians.]
[2771] 1 Cor. xi. 3, 8, 11.
[2772] [Gal. v. 16-17, 19:19–23. S.]
[2773] [The Edin. Trans. has “best at everything,” but I have corrected it in closer accord with the comparative degree in the Greek.]
[2776] [It is a sad token of our times that some women resent this law of the Christian family. In every society there must be presidency even among equals; and even Christ, though “equal to the Father,” in the Catholic theology, is yet subordinate. See Bull, Defens. Fid., Nicæn. Works, vol. v. p. 685.]
[2777] Col. iii. 18-25, iv. 1, iii. 11.
[2779] Col. iii. 12-15. [Again let us note this Catholic democracy of the Christian brotherhood (see p. 416, supra), for which indeed we should be thankful as Christ’s freemen.]
[2780] [Book iii. cap. iii., supra.]
[2781] [He who studies the Sapiential books of the Bible and Apocrypha and the Sermon on the Mount, is a philosopher of the sort here commended.]
Chapter IX.—Christ’s Sayings Respecting Martyrdom.
