Introductory Note to the Epistle of Mathetes to Diognetus
[317] Thus Otto supplies the lacuna; others conjecture somewhat different supplements.
[318] So Böhl. Sylburgius and Otto read, “in the earth.”
Chapter XI.—These things are worthy to be known and believed.
[319] Some render, “nor do I rashly seek to persuade others.”
[320] Some propose to read, “and becoming a friend to the Word.”
[321] It has been proposed to connect this with the preceding sentence, and read, “have known the mysteries of the Father, viz., for what purpose He sent the Word.”
[322] [Comp.1 Tim. iii. 16.]
[323] Or, “esteemed.”
[324] Or, “given.”
Chapter XII.—The importance of knowledge to true spiritual life.
[325] Literally, “bringing forth.”
[326] That is, in Paradise.
[327] Literally “revealing life.”
[328] Or, “deprived of it.”
[329] Literally, “knowledge without the truth of a command exercised to life.” See 1 Cor. viii. 1.
[330] The ms. is here defective. Some read, “on account of the love of life.”
[331] Or, “true word,” or “reason.”
[332] Or, “reap.”
[333] The meaning seems to be, that if the tree of true knowledge and life be planted within you, you shall continue free from blemishes and sins.
[334] [This looks like a reference to the Apocalypse,Rev. v. 9., Rev. xix. 7.,Rev. xx. 5.]
[335] Here Bishop Wordsworth would read κλῆροι, cites 1 Pet. v. 3, and refers to Suicer (Lexicon) in voce κλῆρος.]
[336] [Note the Clement-like doxology.]
