Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[2611] See chap. i., the opening sentence.
[2612] Odyssey, xxii. 347.
[2613] [N. B.—This tractate is probably the genuine work of Justin.]
Chapter II.—Objections to the resurrection of the flesh.
Chapter III.—If the members rise, must they discharge the same functions as now?
[2615] That is to say, their lives are a protest against entering into marriage for any other purpose than that of begetting children.
[2616] i.e., to the devil. [St. John xii. 31, John xiv. 30, John xvi. 11.]
Chapter IV.—Must the deformed rise deformed?
Chapter V.—The resurrection of the flesh is not impossible.
[2619] Odyssey, ii. 304.
[2622] i.e., by actually happening under our observation.
[2623] ἔξωθεν, “without” or “outside,” to which reference is made in the next clause, which may be translated, “because nothing is outside God,” or, “because to God nothing is ‘without.’ ”
[2624] κοσμικῶν, arguments drawn from the laws by which the world is governed.
Chapter VI.—The resurrection consistent with the opinions of the philosophers.
[2625] τὸ κενόν, the void of space in which the infinity of atoms moved.
Chapter VII.—The body valuable in God’s sight.
[2626] Or, “citizenship.”
[2627] This might also be rendered, “and the things in the world, on account of which he was made;” but the subsequent argument shows the propriety of the above rendering.
Chapter VIII.—Does the body cause the soul to sin?
[2631] Migne proposes to read here καὶ οὐ σὺν αὐτῇ, “without the flesh,” which gives a more obvious meaning. The above reading is, however, defensible. Justin means that the flesh was not merely partaking of the soul’s faith and promise, but had rights of its own.
