Introductory Notice To The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles.
[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.
[2409] This chapter, with the exception of a few clauses and words, is found in Apostolic Constitutions, vii. 9–17. There are verbal variations, but the order is exact. In Barnabas not so much of the matter is found. There is, however, even greater verbal agreement in many cases, though the order is quite different. Two important clauses (verses 8, 14) find an exact parallel only in Barnabas. One phrase is peculiar to the Teaching; see ver. 14.
[2410] Comp. Heb. xiii. 7. In Apostolic Constitutions there is a transposition of words.
[2411] Schaff: “The Lordship is spoken of.” Apostolic Constitutions, “where the doctrine concerning God is,” etc.
[2412] Or, “acquiesce in” (Apostolic Constitutions).
[2413] Some read ποιήσεις, “make,” as in Apostolic Constitutions and Barnabas, instead of ποθήσεις, Codex.
[2414] Comp. Ecclus. i. 28. The verse occurs in Barnabas; and in Apostolic Constitutions “in thy prayer” is inserted, which is probably the sense here.
[2415] Ecclus. iv. 31. The Greek word συσπῶν occurs here and in Barnabas, but not in Apostolic Constitutions.
[2416] Apostolic Constitutions adds, in explanation, Prov. xvi. 6.
[2417] Comp. Acts iv. 32; Rom. xv. 27. The latter half of the verse is in Barnabas (not in Apostolic Constitutions), but with the substitution of “incorruptible” and “corruptible.”
[2418] Comp. Eph. vi. 4.
[2419] Comp. Eph. vi. 9; Col. iv. 1.
[2420] Codex reads “our;” editors correct to “your. ”
[2421] Comp. Eph. vi. 5; Col. iii. 22.
[2423] “In the congregation;” i.e., assembly of believers. This phrase is omitted in both Barnabas and Apostolic Constitutions. Comp. Jas. v. 16.
