Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[3968] 1 Cor. x. 11.

Chapter XV.—At first God deemed it sufficient to inscribe the natural law, or the Decalogue, upon the hearts of men; but afterwards He found it necessary to bridle, with the yoke of the Mosaic law, the desires of the Jews, who were abusing their liberty; and even to add some special commands, because of the hardness of their hearts.

[3969] Deut. v. 22.

[3970] Ezek. xx. 24.

[3971] [Acts vi. 3-7. It is evident that the laity elected, and the apostles ordained.]

[3972] Amos v. 25, 26.

[3973] In accordance with the Codex Bezæ.

[3974] Acts vii. 38, etc.

[3975] Ex. xxxiii. 2, 3.

[3976] Matt. xix. 7, 8.

[3977] 1 Cor. vii. 12.

[3978] 1 Cor. vii. 6.

[3979] 1 Cor. vii. 25.

[3980] 1 Cor. vii. 5.

[3981] Matt. xx. 16.

[3982] [Note this stout assertion of the freedom of human actions.]

Chapter XVI.—Perfect righteousness was conferred neither by circumcision nor by any other legal ceremonies. The Decalogue, however, was not cancelled by Christ, but is always in force: men were never released from its commandments.

[3983] Gen. xvii. 9-11.

[3984] Ezek. xx. 12.

[3985] Ex. xxi. 13.

[3986] Col. ii. 11.

[3987] Deut. x. 16, LXX. version.

[3988] The Latin text here is: “Sabbata autem perseverantiam totius diei erga Deum deservitionis edocebant;” which might be rendered, “The Sabbaths taught that we should continue the whole day in the service of God;” but Harvey conceives the original Greek to have been, τὴν καθημερινὴν διαμονὴν τῆς περὶ τὸν Θεὸν λατρείας.
