Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[3737] Gen. ii. 5.

[3738] John i. 3.

Chapter XXII.—Christ assumed actual flesh, conceived and born of the Virgin.

[3739] Matt. v. 5.

[3740] Gal. iv. 4.

[3741] Rom. i. 3, 4.

[3742] In addition to the Greek text preserved by Theodoret in this place, we have for some way a Syriac translation, differing slightly from both Greek and Latin. It seems, however, to run smoother than either, and has therefore been followed by us.

[3743] John iv. 6.

[3744] Ps. lxix. 27.

[3745] Matt. xxvi. 38.

[3746] Rom. v. 14.

[3747] Luke i. 38.

[3748] Gen. ii. 25.

[3749] This seems quite a peculiar opinion of Irenæus, that our first parents, when created, were not of the age of maturity.

[3750] Literally, “unless these bonds of union be turned backwards.”

[3751] It is very difficult to follow the reasoning of Irenæus in this passage. Massuet has a long note upon it, in which he sets forth the various points of comparison and contrast here indicated between Eve and Mary; but he ends with the remark, “hæc certe et quæ sequuntur, paulo subtiliora.”

[3752] Matt. xix. 30,Matt. xx. 16.

[3753] Ps. xlv. 17.

[3754] Rev. i. 5.

[3755] Comp. 1 Cor. xv. 20-22.

Chapter XXIII.—Arguments in opposition to Tatian, showing that it was consonant to divine justice and mercy that the first Adam should first partake in that salvation offered to all by Christ.

[3756] Acts i. 7.

[3757] Matt. xii. 29.
