Introductory Notice To The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles.
[2382] Matt. v. 40; Luke vi. 29
[2383] Luke vi. 30. The last clause is a peculiar addition: “art not able,” since thou art a Christian; otherwise it is a commonplace observation.
[2384] Luke vi. 30. The rest of the sentence is explained by the parallel passage in Apostolic Constitutions, which cites Matt. v. 45.
[2385] Bryennios finds a parallel (or citation) in Hermas, Commandment Second, p. 20, vol. i. Ante-Nicene Fathers. The remainder of this chapter has no parallel in Apostolic Constitutions.
[2386] Gr. ἐν συνοχῇ. Probably = imprisonment; see next clause.
[2388] Codex: ιδροτάτω, which in this connection is unintelligible. Bryennios corrects into ιδροσάτω, rendered as above. There are various other conjectural emendations. The verse probably forbids indiscriminate charity, pointing to an early abuse of Christian liberality.
Chapter II.—The Second Commandment: Gross Sin Forbidden.
[2389] The chapter, except this opening sentence and part of verse 7, is found in Apostolic Constitutions, vii. 2–5; but the precepts are separated and enlarged upon.
[2391] Or, “corrupt boys,” as in the version of Apostolic Constitutions.
[2393] Comp. Ex. xxi. 22, 23. The Codex reads γεννηθέντα, which Schaff renders “the new-born child.” Bryennios substitutes γεννηθέν, which is accepted by most editors, and rendered as above.
[2397] Rendered “nor shalt thou be mindful of injuries” in version of Apostolic Constitutions.
[2398] So Barnabas, xix.
[2399] Verse 5, except the first clause, occurs only here.
[2400] Latter half of verse 6 in Barnabas, xix.
[2401] Lev. xix. 17; Apostolic Constitutions.
