The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians
[378] Literally, “the martyrdom of the cross,” which some render, “His suffering on the cross.”
[379] [The original, perhaps, of Eusebius (Hist. iv. cap. 14). It became a common-place expression in the Church.]
[382] Matt. vi. 13; Matt. xxvi. 41.
[383] Matt. xxvi. 41; Mark xiv. 38.
Chapter VIII.—Persevere in hope and patience.
[386] Comp. 1 John iv. 9.
[387] Comp.Acts v. 41; 1 Pet. iv. 16.
[388] Some read, “we glorify Him.”
[389] Comp. 1 Pet. ii. 21.
Chapter IX.—Patience inculcated.
[390] Comp. Phil. ii. 16; Gal. ii. 2.
Chapter X.—Exhortation to the practice of virtue.
[391] This and the two following chapters are preserved only in a Latin version. [See Jacobson, ad loc.]
[392] Comp. 1 Pet. ii. 17.
[393] Tobit iv. 10, Tobit xii. 9.
[394] Comp. 1 Pet. v. 5.
Chapter XI.—Expression of grief on account of Valens.
[397] Some think that incontinence on the part of the Valens and his wife is referred to. [For many reasons I am glad the translators have preferred the reading πλεονεξίας. The next word, chaste, sufficiently rebukes the example of Valens. For once I venture not to coincide with Jacobson’s comment.]
