Introductory Note to the Epistles of Ignatius
[853] In the shorter recension there is ζηλώσῃ, and in the longer ζηλῶσαι; hence the variety of rendering, but the translation is by no means certain.
[854] Some deem this and the following word spurious.
[855] Literally, “evil.”
[856] Comp.1 Cor. xv. 32, where the word is also used figuratively.
[857] Probably the soldiers received gifts from the Christians, to treat Ignatius with kindness.
[859] In the shorter recension there is ζηλώσῃ, and in the longer ζηλῶσαι; hence the variety of rendering, but the translation is by no means certain.
Chapter VI.—By death I shall attain true life.
[860] Literally, “this age.”
[861] Literally, “into.”
[862] Matt. xvi. 26. Some omit this quotation.
[863] Literally, “to die.”
[864] Literally, “this age.”
[865] Literally, “to die.”
Chapter VII.—Reason of desiring to die.
[866] Some understand by love in this passage, Christ Himself; others regard it as referring to the natural desires of the heart.
[867] Literally, “desiring material.”
[868] The text and meaning are here doubtful. We have followed Hefele, who understands by the water the Holy Spirit, and refers to John vii. 38.
[869] Some understand by love in this passage, Christ Himself; others regard it as referring to the natural desires of the heart.
[870] Comp. John iv. 14.
