Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[4194] 1 Cor. v. 6.

[4195] Rom. i. 18.

[4196] Luke xviii. 7, 8.

[4197] 2 Thess. i. 6-10.

Chapter XXVIII.—Those persons prove themselves senseless who exaggerate the mercy of Christ, but are silent as to the judgment, and look only at the more abundant grace of the New Testament; but, forgetful of the greater degree of perfection which it demands from us, they endeavour to show that there is another God beyond Him who created the world.

[4198] Ps. xxxiv. 16.

[4199] Matt. xxvi. 24.

[4200] Matt. x. 15.

[4201] [Eph. v. 4. Even from the εὐτραπελία which might signify a bon-mot, literally, and which certainly is not “scurrility,” unless the apostle was ironical, reflecting on jokes with heathen considered “good.”]

[4202] Matt. xxv. 41.

[4203] Matt. xxv. 34.

[4204] 2 Cor. ii. 15, 16.

[4205] Num. xiv. 30.

[4206] [Jon. iv. 11. The tenderness of our author constantly asserts itself, as in this reference to children.]

[4207] 1 Cor. xiv. 20.

Chapter XXIX.—Refutation of the arguments of the Marcionites, who attempted to show that God was the author of sin, because He blinded Pharaoh and his servants.

[4208] Ex. ix. 35.

[4209] Matt. xiii. 11-16;Isa. vi. 10.

[4210] 2 Cor. iv. 4.

[4211] Rom. i. 28.

[4212] 2 Thess. ii. 11.

[4213] Ex. iii. 19.

Chapter XXX.—Refutation of another argument adduced by the Marcionites, that God directed the Hebrews to spoil the Egyptians.

[4214] Ex. iii. 22, Ex. xi. 2. [Our English translation “borrow” is a gratuitous injury to the text. As “King of kings” the Lord enjoins a just tax, which any earthly sovereign might have imposed uprightly. Our author argues well.]
