[863] Literally, “to die.”
[864] Literally, “this age.”
[865] Literally, “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.”

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.

[878] Literally, “the name desired to me.”
[879] This clause is evidently an explanatory gloss which has crept into the text.
