Introductory Note to The Pastor of Hermas
[82] [For justification and sanctification.]
[83] My elders. Perhaps the translation should be: the presbyters. [No doubt; for here also is a reference to canon law. See Apost. Constitutions (so called), book ii. sec. vii. 57.]
[85] [Rev. xi. 1.]
[86] [Rev. xxi. 16.]
[87] [1 Kings vi. 7;1 Pet. ii. 4-8. The apostle interprets his own name,—shows Christ to be the Rock, himself a stone laid upon the foundation, by which also all believers are made lively stones, like the original Cephas.]
[88] Others had been made too short, not in Vat.
[89] That … glory. And that they may be made more joyful, and, hearing this, may greatly glorify the Lord.—Vat.
[90] [2 Cor. xii. 1-11. The apostle is ashamed to glory in revelations, and this seems to be the reference.]
[91] God. Lord.—Vat.
[92] I said to you before, that you were cunning, diligently inquiring in regard to the Scriptures.—Vat. You are cunning in regard to the Scriptures.—Lips. In some of the mss. of the common Latin version, “structures” is read instead of “Scriptures.”
[93] The Lord. God.—Vat. [1 Pet. iii. 20; Eph. v. 26. Both these texts seem in the author’s mind, but perhaps, also Num. xxiv. 6, 7.]
[94] The building. When therefore the building of the tower is finished, all.—Vat.
[95] Not because you are better. Are you better?—Vat. [See note 90 on 2 Cor. xii. 1-11, preceding chapter.]
[96] [1 Cor. xv. 6, 18.]
[97] [Phil. ii. 2, iii. 16; 1 Thess v. 13.]
[98] Are those. They are those who have alreay fallen asleep, and who suffered.—Vat.
[99] Cast away. Placed near the tower.—Vat.
[100] [Heb. vi. 6-8; xii. 17.]
[101] [Heb. x. 25. Barnabas (cap. iv.) reproves the same fault, almost as if directing his words against anchorites, vol. i. p. 139, this series.]
