Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[3898] 1 Cor. iii. 17.

Chapter IX.—There is but one author, and one end to both covenants.

[3899] Matt. xiii. 52.

[3900] Matt. xxiii. 34.

[3901] Ps. xcvi. 1.

[3902] Isa. xlii. 10, quoted from memory.

[3903] Jer. xxxi. 31.

[3904] Matt. xii. 6.

[3905] John i. 50.

[3906] These words of Scripture are quoted by memory from Phil. iii. 12, 1 Cor. iv. 4, and 1 Cor. xiii. 9, 10. It is remarkable that the second is incorporated with the preceding in a similar way, in the ancient Italic version known as the St. Germain copy.

[3907] Matt. v. 8.

[3908] Isa. xxv. 9.

[3909] 1 Pet. i. 8.

[3910] Rom. viii. 15.

[3911] This is in accordance with Harvey’s text— “Maturescere profectum salutis.” Grabe, however, reads, “Maturescere prefectum salutis;” making this equivalent to “ad prefectam salutem.” In most mss. “profectum” and “prefectum” would be written alike. The same word (“profectus”) occurs again almost immediately, with an evident reference to and comparison with this clause.

[3912] 2 Tim. iii. 7.

[3913] Matt. xv. 3, 4.

[3914] Another variation from the textus receptus borne out by the Codex Bezæ, and some ancient versions.

[3915] Ex. xx. 12, LXX.

Chapter X.—The Old Testament Scriptures, and those written by Moses in particular, do everywhere make mention of the Son of God, and foretell His advent and passion. From this fact it follows that they were inspired by one and the same God.

[3916] John v. 39, 40.

[3917] John v. 46.

[3918] See Gen. xviii. 13 and Gen. xxxi. 11, etc. There is an allusion here to a favourite notion among the Fathers, derived from Philo the Jew, that the name Israel was compounded from the three Hebrew words אִישׁ רָאָה אֵל, i.e., “the man seeing God.”
