Introductory Note to Irenæus Against Heresies

[4718] Luke vi. 40.

[4719] The five following chapters were omitted in the earlier editions, but added by Feuardentius. Most mss., too, did not contain them. It is probable that the scribes of the middle ages rejected them on account of their inculcating millenarian notions, which had been long extinct in the Church. Quotations from these five chapters have been collected by Harvey from Syriac and Armenian mss. lately come to light.

Chapter XXXII.—In that flesh in which the saints have suffered so many afflictions, they shall receive the fruits of their labours; especially since all creation waits for this, and God promises it to Abraham and his seed.

[4720] Or, “gradually to comprehend God.”

[4721] Rom. viii. 19, etc.

[4722] Gen. xiii. 13, 14.

[4723] Gen. xiii. 17.

[4724] Acts vii. 5; Heb. xi. 13.

[4725] Gen. xxiii. 11.

[4726] Gen. xv. 13.

[4727] Luke iii. 8.

[4728] Gal. iv. 28.

[4729] Gal. iii. 16.

[4730] Gal. iii. 6, etc.

[4731] Matt. v. 5.

Chapter XXXIII.—Further proofs of the same proposition, drawn from the promises made by Christ, when He declared that He would drink of the fruit of the vine with His disciples in His Father’s kingdom, while at the same time He promised to reward them an hundred-fold, and to make them partake of banquets. The blessing pronounced by Jacob had pointed out this already, as Papias and the elders have interpreted it.

[4732] Matt. xxvi. 27.

[4733] Ps. 104:30.

[4734] Luke xiv. 12, 13.

[4735] Matt. xix. 29; Luke xviii. 29, 30.
