Introductory Notice To The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles.
[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.
[2402] Or, “soul.” The last part of the clause is found in Barnabas; but “and concerning some…pray, and some” has no parallel. An interesting verse in its literary history.
Chapter III.—Other Sins Forbidden.
[2403] About one-half of the matter of this chapter is to be found, in well-nigh the same order, scattered through Apostolic Constitutions, vii. 6 –8. The precepts are aimed at minor sins, and require no particular comment. This chapter has the largest number of Greek words not found in the New Testament.
[2404] The address “my child” does not occur in the parallel passages.
[2406] Isa. lxvi. 2, 5; Apostolic Constitutions, vii. 8.
[2407] Comp. Luke xviii. 14.
[2408] Ecclus. ii. 4. So Bryennios. Comp. last part of Apostolic Constitutions vii. 8.
