Introductory Note to the Epistles of Ignatius
[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.
Chapter VIII.—Be ye favourable to me.
[871] Some refer this to Ignatius himself.
Chapter IX.—Pray for the church in Syria.
[874] Comp. 1 Cor. xv. 8, 9.
[875] Some refer this to the jurisdiction of Ignatius.
[876] i.e., the outward road he had to travel.
[877] Or, “have sent me forward;” comp.Tit. iii. 13.
[878] Literally, “the name desired to me.”
[879] This clause is evidently an explanatory gloss which has crept into the text.
