Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[4253] 1 Cor. ii. 15. [The argument of this chapter hinges on Ps. xxv. 14, and expounds a difficult text of St. Paul. A man who has the mind of God’s Spirit is the only judge of spiritual things. Worldly men are incompetent critics of Scripture and of Christian exposition.

[4254] Rom. i. 21.

[4255] Isa. liii. 3.

[4256] Zech. ix. 9.

[4257] Ps. 118:22.

[4258] Isa. liii. 7.

[4259] Ex. xvii. 11.

[4260] Isa. xi. 12.

[4261] Comp. book iii. 20, 4.

[4262] Dan. vii. 13.

[4263] Mal. iv. 1.

[4264] Isa. xi. 4.

[4265] Matt. iii. 12;Luke iii. 17.

[4266] Harvey points this sentence interrogatively.

[4267] “Temperamentum calicis:” on which Harvey remarks that “the mixture of water with the wine in the holy Eucharist was the universal practice of antiquity … the wine signifying the mystical Head of the Church, the water the body.” [Whatever the significance, it harmonizes with the Paschal chalice, and with 1 John v. 6, and St. John’s gospel John xix. 34, 35.]

[4268] John xix. 34.

[4269] This sentence is very obscure in the Latin text.

[4270] Iliad, ix. 312, 313.

[4271] The text is obscure, and the construction doubtful.

[4272] The Latin here is, “quæ est ex virgine per fidem regenerationem.” According to Massuet, “virgine” here refers not to Mary, but to the Church. Grabe suspects that some words have been lost.

[4273] Matt. xii. 41, 42.
