[4414] 1 Cor. ix. 24-27.

[4415] Jer. ii. 19.

[4416] [If we but had the original, this would doubtless be found in all respects a noble specimen of primitive theology.]

Chapter XXXVIII.—Why man was not made perfect from the beginning.

[4417] 1 Cor. iii. 2.

[4418] 1 Cor. iii. 3.

[4419] Ps. lxxxii. 6, 7.

[4420] That is, that man’s human nature should not prevent him from becoming a partaker of the divine.

Chapter XXXIX.—Man is endowed with the faculty of distinguishing good and evil; so that, without compulsion, he has the power, by his own will and choice, to perform God’s commandments, by doing which he avoids the evils prepared for the rebellious.

[4421] Efficeris.

[4422] Ps. xlv. 11.

[4423] Matt. xxii. 3, etc.

[4424] Matt. iii. 9.

Chapter XL.—One and the same God the Father inflicts punishment on the reprobate, and bestows rewards on the elect.

[4425] Matt. xxv. 41.

[4426] Isa. xlv. 7.

[4427] Matt. xxv. 32.

[4431] Matt. xiii. 34. [Applicable to the origin of heresies.]

[4432] Matt. xiii. 28.

[4433] The old Latin translator varies from this (the Greek of which was recovered by Grabe from two ancient Catenæ Patrum), making the clause run thus, that is, the transgression which he had himself introduced, making the explanatory words to refer to the tares, and not, as in the Greek, to the sower of the tares.

[4434] Following the reading of the LXX. αὐτός σου τηρήσει κεφαλήν.
