Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[4591] Matt. vi. 12.

[4592] Gen. iii. 8.

[4593] Matt. ix. 2; Luke v. 20.

[4594] Matt. ix. 2; Luke v. 20.

[4595] Luke i. 78.

[4596] Matt. ix. 8.

[4597] Matt. ix. 6.

[4599] Col. ii. 14.

[4600] 2 Kings vi. 6.

[4601] Matt. iii. 10.

[4602] Jer. xxiii. 29.

[4603] The Greek is preserved here, and reads, διὰ τῆς θείας ἐκτάσεως τῶν χειρῶν— literally, “through the divine extension of hands.” The old Latin merely reads, “per extensionem manuum.”

Chapter XVIII.—God the Father and His Word have formed all created things (which They use) by Their own power and wisdom, not out of defect or ignorance. The Son of God, who received all power from the Father, would otherwise never have taken flesh upon Him.

[4604] John xiv. 11.

[4605] From this passage Harvey infers that Irenæus held the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son,—a doctrine denied by the Oriental Church in after times. [Here is nothing about the “procession:” only the “mission” of the Spirit is here concerned. And the Easterns object to the double procession itself only in so far as any one means thereby to deny “quod solus Pater est divinarum personarum, Principium et Fons,”—ρίζα καὶ πηγὴ. See Procopowicz, De Processione, Gothæ, 1772].

[4606] Grabe and Harvey insert the words, “quod est conditionis,” but on slender authority.

[4607] John vii. 39.

[4608] Eph. iv. 6.

[4609] John i. 1, etc.

[4610] John i. 10, etc.

[4611] John i. 14.
