Introductory Note to the Epistles of Ignatius
[731] Either, “the whole members of the Church,” or, “in the fulness of blessing.”
[732] Either, “as an apostle,” or, “in the apostolic form.”
Chapter I.—Acknowledgment of their excellence.
[733] Literally, “not according to use, but according to nature.”
[734] Literally, “not for use, but for a possession.”
Chapter II.—Be subject to the bishop, etc.
[735] It is doubtful whether this exhortation is addressed to the deacons or people; whether the former are urged in all respects to please the latter, or the latter in all points to be pleased with the former.
Chapter III.—Honour the deacons, etc.
[737] Literally, “commandment.” The text, which is faulty in the ms., has been amended as above by Smith.
[738] Literally, “no Church is called.”
[739] Or, “pattern.”
[740] Literally, “great instruction.”
[741] Some here follow a text similar to that of the longer recension.
[742] Both the text and meaning are here very doubtful; some follow the reading of the longer recension.
[743] Or, “conjunction.”
[744] Or, “pattern.”
Chapter IV.—I have need of humility.
[745] Literally, “I know many things in God.”
[746] A different turn altogether is given to this passage in the longer recension.
[748] Or, “confirmed.”
[749] Omitted in the ms.
Chapter V.—I will not teach you profound doctrines.
[750] Or, “stations.”
[751] Literally, “passing by this;” but both text and meaning are very doubtful.
