Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[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.

[3952] Matt. v. 20.

[3953] Matt. xix. 21.

[3954] Luke vi. 29-31.

[3955] Matt. v. 41.

[3956] Matt. v. 45.

[3957] John xv. 15.

[3958] Jas. ii. 23.

[3959] John viii. 58.

Chapter XIV.—If God demands obedience from man, if He formed man, called him and placed him under laws, it was merely for man’s welfare; not that God stood in need of man, but that He graciously conferred upon man His favours in every possible manner.

[3960] John xvii. 5.

[3961] John xv. 16.

[3962] John xvii. 24.

[3963] Isa. xliii. 5.

[3964] Matt. xxiv. 28.
