The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians.
[4022] 1 Kings xviii. 8, etc.
[4023] Literally, “those who have been athletes.”
[4024] I. ἔριν (strife).
[4025] I. ἕως θανάτου ἤθλησαν (contended unto death).
[4026] Literally “good.”
[4027] I. ἔδειξεν (displayed).
[4028] Seven imprisonments of St. Paul are not referred to in Scripture.
[4029] I. φυγαδευθείς (having become a fugitive). Archbishop Wake here reads “scourged.” We have followed the most recent critics in filling up the numerous lacunæ in this chapter.
[4030] I. punctuates ἔλαβε δικαιοσύνην, (received righteousness, having taught).
[4031] Some think Rome, others Spain, and others even Britain, to be here referred to.
[4032] That is, under Tigellinus and Sabinus, in the last year of the Emperor Nero; but some think Helius and Polycletus referred to; and others, both here and in the preceding sentence, regard the words as denoting simply the witness borne by Peter and Paul to the truth of the gospel before the rulers of the earth.
Chapter VI.—Continuation. Several Other Martyrs.
[4033] Some suppose these to have been the names of two eminent female martyrs under Nero; others regard the clause as an interpolation.
[4034] Literally, “have reached to the stedfast course of faith.”
[4036] I. κατέσκαψεν (razed to the ground).
Chapter VII.—An Exhortation to Repentance.
[4037] I. τῆς παραδόσεως ἡμῶν (of our tradition).
[4038] I. τῷ πατρὶ αὐτοῦ τῷ θεῷ (to His Father God).
[4039] I. ἐπήνεγκεν (conferred).
[4040] I. διέλθωμεν (traverse, trace).
[4041] Gen. vii; 1 Pet. iii. 20; 2 Pet. ii. 5.
