Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies
[2774] John i. 3, 4. The punctuation here followed is different from that commonly adopted, but is found in many of the Fathers, and in some of the most ancient mss.
[2777] ὑπ’ αὐτῆς, occurring twice, is rendered both times in the old Latin version, “ab eis.” The reference is to σκοτία, darkness, i.e., all those not belonging to the spiritual seed.
[2778] Comp. John i. 14.
[2779] This is parenthetically inserted by the author, to show the misquotation of Scripture by these heretics.
[2780] These words are wanting in the Greek, but are inserted in the old Latin version.
Chapter IX.—Refutation of the impious interpretations of these heretics.
[2781] It is difficult to give an exact rendering of μελετᾶν in this passage; the old Lat. version translates it by meditari, which Massuet proposes to render “skilfully to fit.”
