Introductory Note to The Pastor of Hermas
[306] The Lips. has lost here a few words, which are supplied from the Latin translations. [Mal. iii. 3;Isa. i. 22; Ps. xxvi. 2, cxxxix. 23, 24. Is there not much teaching here for our easy living, and light ideas of the sinfulness of sin?]
[307] The Vatican has: “But rather give thanks to the Lord, that He, knowing what is to come to pass, has deemed you worthy to tell you beforehand that affiction is coming upon those who are able to bear it.” [1 Cor. x. 13. But the whole argument turns on Jas. i. 2, as Hermas delights in this practical apostle.]
[308] [Sam. iii. 31, 32, 33.]
[309] Omitted by Lips.
[310] Omitted in Lips. and Vat.
[311] Omitted in Lips.
[312] Num. xvii. 8. [Willows are chosen, perhaps, with reference to Isa. xliv. 4; but Ezekiel’s willow supplies the thought here (Ezek. xvii. 5, 6).]
[313] 2 Esdras ii. 43.
[314] [Eph. i. 13, iv. 30.]
[315] [Rev. xix. 8.]
[316] [Rev. viii. 3; Num. xvii. 7.]
[318] [Rom. xi. 16.]
[320] “And by this law the Son of God was preached to all the ends of the earth.”—Vat. [Hermas again introduces here the name which he made his base in Vision ii. 2.]
[321] [Dan. x. 21, xii 1; Rev. xii. 7. It is not necessary to accept this statement as doctrine, but the idea may be traced to these texts.]
[322] [That is, the New Law, the gospel of the Son of God.]
[323] [Vision ii. 2. Denying the Son.]
[324] And … cut, omitted in Pal.
[325] [Wake reads “cleft.”]
[326] [Clefts.]
