The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians.
[4228] Isa. lx. 17, Sept.; but the text is here altered by Clement. The LXX. have, “I will give thy rulers in peace, and thy overseers in righteousness.”
Chapter XLIII.—Moses of Old Stilled the Contention Which Arose Concerning the Priestly Dignity.
[4229] Num. xii. 10; Heb. iii. 5.
[4230] Literally, “every tribe being written according to its name.”
[4232] Literally, “on account of the title of the oversight ” Some understand this to mean, “in regard to the dignity of the episcopate;” and others simply, “on account of the oversight.” I. for ἐπινομή gives ἐπιδομή Bryennius conjectures ἐπιδοχή, which perhaps, may be rendered “Succession” (διαδοχή).
[4233] The meaning of this passage is much controverted. Some render, “left a list of other approved persons;” while others translate the unusual word έπινομὴ, which causes the difficulty, by “testamentary direction,” and many others deem the text corrupt. We have given what seems the simplest version of the text as it stands.
[4234] i.e. the apostles.
[4235] Or, “oversight.”
[4236] Literally, “presented the offerings.”
Chapter XLV.—It is the Part of the Wicked to Vex the Righteous.
[4237] Or, “Ye perceive.”
[4238] Or, “For.”
[4241] Literally, “worshipped.”
[4242] Literally, “serve.”
[4243] Or, “lifted up.” I. ἔγγραφοι (inscribed).
Chapter XLVI.—Let Us Cleave to the Righteous: Your Strife is Pernicious.
[4244] Literally, “to such examples it is right that we should cleave.”
[4245] Not found in Scripture.
[4246] Literally, “be.”
[4247] Or, “thou wilt overthrow.”
