Introductory Note to the Writings of Justin Martyr
[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.
[2632] It is supposed that a part of the treatise has been here dropped out.
Chapter IX.—The resurrection of Christ proves that the body rises.
[2633] Comp.Luke xxiv. 32, etc.
Chapter X.—The body saved, and will therefore rise.
[2635] [N.B.—These fragments are probably genuine.]
[2636] [See, on the Resurrection, cap. vi.; and compare, —
“And of those demons that are found
In fire, air, flood, or under ground,” etc.
Milton, Pens., line 93.]
[2637] See Lev. xiv. 49-53.
[2638] Literally, “living.”
[2639] The Gentiles are here referred to, who saw no necessity for the incarnation.
[2640] Jer. ii. 19, etc. (LXX.)
[2641] It is doubtful if these words are really Justin’s, or, if so, from which, or what part, of his Apologies they are derived.
Introductory Note to the Martyrdom of Justin Martyr
[2642] [See Cave, Lives of the Fathers, i. 243. Epiphanius, by fixing the martyrdom under the prefecture of Rusticus, seems to identify this history; but, then, he also connects it with the reign of Hadrian. Ed. Oehler, tom ii. 709. Berlin, 1859.]
Chapter I.—Examination of Justin by the prefect.
[2643] i.e., the emperors.
[2644] Μετὰ δόγματος ὀρθοῦ, orthodoxy.
[2645] That is, that a prophetic inspiration is required to speak worthily of Christ.
Chapter IV.—Rusticus threatens the Christians with death.
[2646] Another reading is δόγματα, which may be translated, “I shall have what He teaches [us to expect].”
[2647] This passage admits of another rendering. Lord Hailes, following the common Latin version, thus translates: “It was our chief wish to endure tortures for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ, and so to be saved.”
Chapter V.—Sentence pronounced and executed.
