The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians
[338] Or, “Polycarp, and those who with him are presbyters.”
Chapter I.—Praise of the Philippians.
[339] Literally, “ye have received the patterns of true love.”
[341] Acts ii. 24. Literally, “having loosed the pains of Hades.”
Chapter II.—An exhortation to virtue.
[344] Comp.1 Pet. i. 13; Eph. vi. 14.
[347] Comp. 1 Pet. iii. 22; Phil. ii. 10.
[348] Comp. Acts xvii. 31.
[349] Or, “who do not obey him.”
[350] Comp 1 Cor. vi. 14; 2 Cor. iv. 14; Rom. viii. 11.
[353] Matt. vi. 12, 14; Luke vi. 37.
[355] Matt. vii. 2; Luke vi. 38.
[356] Matt. v. 3, 10; Luke vi. 20.
Chapter III.—Expressions of personal unworthiness.
[357] Comp. 2 Pet. iii. 15.
[358] The form is plural, but one Epistle is probably meant. [So, even in English, “letters” may be classically used for a single letter, as we say “by these presents.” But even we might speak of St. Paul as having written his Epistles to us; so the Epistles to Thessalonica and Corinth might more naturally still be referred to here].
