Introductory Notice to Cyprian.
34. That the believer ought not to live like the Gentile.
[4394] Rev. xviii. 4-9. The Oxford text reads “deliciis” instead of “delictis,”—making the last clause, “and have walked in delicacies.”
35. That God is patient for this end, that we may repent of our sin, and be reformed.
[4396] Ecclesiasticus 5.4.
36. That a woman ought not to be adorned in a worldly fashion.
[4400] 1 Pet. iii. 4. [This limitation to “Pontus” is curious.]
37. That the believer ought not to be punished for other offences, except for the name he bears.
[4402] [Gr. ὡς ἀλλοτριοεπίσκοπος; a strange expression. This is St. Paul’s canon (Greek) of jurisdiction, which he expounds, 2 Cor. x. 13, 14. Comp. Gal. ii. 9. Showing, by the way, the limits of Peter’s jurisdiction, “measure,” or μετρόν τοῦ κανόνος. Note 15, p. 544, supra.]
38. That the servant of God ought to be innocent, lest he fall into secular punishment.
39. That there is given to us an example of living in Christ.
