Introductory Notice to Methodius.
[2589] In the original the two words are different. In the quotation from St. Paul it is ἅπτεσθαι; here it is προσψαύειν. Nothing could be gained by using two words in the translation.—Tr.
Chapter XII.—Paul an Example to Widows, and to Those Who Do Not Live with Their Wives.
[2591] 1 Cor. vii. 1. [All vulgar familiarity included.]
[2593] E.V. “Fasting and prayer.” As in the best mss., τῇ νηστείᾳ καί is wanting in the text.
[2596] [See p. 316, supra (note), and also Eusebius, there cited. Per contra, see Lewin, vol. i. 382, 386.]
[2597] Καλόν. It is the same word which is translated good in ver. 1, “It is good for a man.”
[2598] i.e., participate in the same ordinances, and in their fruits.
Chapter XIII.—The Doctrine of Paul Concerning Virginity Explained.
[2602] Which I recommend.
[2603] 1 Cor. vii. 29. [Nobody can feel more deeply than I do the immeasurable evils of an enforced celibacy; nobody can feel more deeply the deplorable state of the Church which furnishes only rare and exceptional examples of voluntary celibacy for the sake of Christ. On chastity, see Jer. Taylor’s Holy Living, Works, i. p. 424.]
[2605] A clause is omitted here in the text.
Chapter XIV.—Virginity a Gift of God: the Purpose of Virginity Not Rashly to Be Adopted by Any One.
[2607] 1 Cor. vii. 36. [On virginity, see Taylor, i. 426, ed. London, 1844.]
Chapter I.—The Necessity of Praising Virtue, for Those Who Have the Power.
[2609] πολυμερῶς καὶ πολυτρόπως.Heb. i. 1.
