Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[3931] Ps. xxxv. 9.

[3932] Or, “all those who were in the way of David”—omnes qui erant in viâ David, in dolore animæ cognoverunt suum regem.

[3933] Matt. xxi. 8.

[3934] The Latin text is ambiguous: “dominabantur eorum, quibus ratio non constabat.” The rendering may be, “and ruled over those things with respect to which it was not right that they should do so.”

[3935] Matt. xxi. 16; Ps. viii. 3.

Chapter XII.—It clearly appears that there was but one author of both the old and the new law, from the fact that Christ condemned traditions and customs repugnant to the former, while He confirmed its most important precepts, and taught that He was Himself the end of the Mosaic law.

[3936] Isa. i. 22.

[3937] Matt. xv. 3.

[3938] Rom. xiii. 10.

[3939] 1 Cor. xiii. 13.

[3940] 1 Cor. xiii. 2.

[3941] Matt. xxiii. 2-4.

[3942] Isa. xxix. 13.

[3943] Rom. x. 3, 4.

[3944] Ex. iii. 7, 8.

[3945] Matt. xix. 17, 18, etc.

[3946] Harvey here remarks: “In a theological point of view, it should be observed, that no saving merit is ascribed to almsgiving: it is spoken of here as the negation of the vice of covetousness, which is wholly inconsistent with the state of salvation to which we are called.”

[3947] Luke xix. 8.

Chapter XIII.—Christ did not abrogate the natural precepts of the law, but rather fulfilled and extended them. He removed the yoke and bondage of the old law, so that mankind, being now set free, might serve God with that trustful piety which becometh sons.

[3948] That is, as Harvey observes, the natural man, as described in Rom. ii. 27.

[3949] Matt. v. 27, 28.

[3950] Matt. v. 21, 22.

[3951] Matt. v. 33, etc.
