Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[1960] Philology, used here to denote the exercise of reason.
[1961] Philology, used here to denote the exercise of speech. The two-fold use of λόγος— oratio and ratio—ought to be kept in view. The old man uses it in the former, Justin in the latter, sense.
Chapter V.—The soul is not in its own nature immortal.
[1962] “Beside.”
[1963] Otto says: If the old man begins to speak here, then ἔχει must be read for ἔχειν. The received text makes it appear that Justin continues a quotation, or the substance of it, from Plato.
Chapter VIII.—Justin by his colloquy is kindled with love to Christ.
[1964] According to one interpretation, this clause is applied to God: “If you believe in God, seeing He is not indifferent to the matter,” etc. Maranus says that it means: A Jew who reads so much of Christ in the Old Testament, cannot be indifferent to the things which pertain to Him.
[1965] Literally: having become perfect. Some refer the words to perfection of character; some initiation by baptism.
[1966] Latin version, “beloved Pompeius.”
Chapter IX.—The Christians have not believed groundless stories.
[1967] According to another reading, “I did not leave.”
Chapter XI.—The law abrogated; the New Testament promised and given by God.
[1968] Editors suppose that Justin inserts a long parenthesis here, from “for” to “Egypt.” It is more natural to take this as an anacoluthon. Justin was going to say, “But now we trust through Christ,” but feels that such a statement requires preliminary explanation.
[1969] According to the LXX, Isa. li. 4, 5.
Chapter XII.—The Jews violate the eternal law, and interpret ill that of Moses.
[1971] Isa. lv. 3 ff. according to LXX.
[1972] Not in Jeremiah; some would insert, in place of Jeremiah, Isaiah or John. [St. John xii. 40;Isa. vi. 10; where see full references in the English margin. But comp. Jer. vii. 24, 26,Jer. xi. 8, and Jer. xvii. 23.]
Chapter XIII.—Isaiah teaches that sins are forgiven through Christ’s blood.
[1973] 1 Cor. x. 4. Otto reads: which he mentioned and which was for those who repented.
[1974] Three times in Justin, not in LXX.
[1975] Deviating slightly from LXX., omitting a clause.
[1976] LXX. “not as,” etc.
[1977] LXX. “not as,” etc.
[1978] Isa. lii. 10 ff. following LXX. on to liv. 6.
[1979] Isa. lv. 3 to end.
Chapter XV.—In what the true fasting consists.
[1980] ἱμάτια; some read ἰάματα, as in LXX., “thy health,” the better reading probably.
