The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians
[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].
[359] Comp. Gal. iv. 26.
Chapter IV.—Various exhortations.
[362] Comp.Eph. vi. 11.
[363] Comp. 1 Thess. v. 17.
[364] Some here read, “altars.”
Chapter V.—The duties of deacons, youths, and virgins.
[366] Some read, “God in Christ.”
[367] Comp. 1 Tim. iii. 8.
[368] Comp. Matt. xx. 28.
[369] Πολιτευσώμεθα, referring to the whole conduct; comp. Phil. i. 27.
[371] Some read, ἀνακύπτεσθαι, “to emerge from.” [So Chevallier, but not Wake nor Jacobson. See the note of latter, ad loc.]
Chapter VI.—The duties of presbyters and others.
[374] Rom. xii. 17; 2 Cor. viii. 31.
[376] Rom. xiv. 10-12; 2 Cor. v. 10.
Chapter VII.—Avoid the Docetæ, and persevere in fasting and prayer.
