Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[3498] Matt. v. 20; Jas. ii. 8.
[3499] βασιλικοί,Jas. ii. 8 (royal law).
[3502] [Canon-law referred to as already recognised. And see 2 Cor. x. 13-15 (Greek), as to a certain ecclesiastical rule or canon observed by the apostles. It may refer, primarily, to (Gal. ii. 9) limitations of apostolic work and jurisdiction. See Bunsen, iii. 217.]
[3505] Following Hervetus, the Latin translator, who interpolates into the text here, as seems necessary, οἱ φιλόσοφοι τοῖς Ἓλλησι.
[3506] [The imperishable nature of the Gospel, forcibly contrasted with the evanescence of philosophy.]
[3509] Or, as rendered by the Latin translator, “continual care for his soul and occupation, bestowed on the Deity,” etc.
[3510] [Book vi. cap. 13, supra.]
[3511] Potter’s text has καταδεδουλωμένον—which Lowth changes into καταδεδουλωμένος, nominative; and this has been adopted in the translation. The thought is the same as in Exhortation to the Heathen [cap. ii. p. 177, supra.]
Chapter II.—The Son the Ruler and Saviour of All.
[3512] The sentence has been thus rendered by Sylburgius and by Bp. Kaye. Lowth, however, suggests the supplying of ἐνεργεῖ, or something similar, to govern πεποιθησιν, confidence.
[3513] Αναδεδειγμένῳ. Instead of this, ἀναδεδεγμένῳ, “ having received,” has been suggested by Sylburgius.
[3514] By omitting “him” (τόν), as Sylburgius does, the translation would run this: “for He compels no one to receive salvation from Him, because he is able to choose and fulfil from himself what pertains to the laying hold of the hope.”
[3515] Deut. xxxii. 8, 9, Septuagint, quoted already more than once.
[3517] [So called from Heraclea in Lydia.]
