Introductory Notice To The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles.
[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.
[2424] Or, “to thy place of prayer” (Schaff).
[2425] So Barnabas; but Apostolic Constitutions, “in the day of thy bitterness.”
[2426] So Apostolic Constitutions; but Barnabas, “the way of light.” See note on chap. i. 1.
[2427] This chapter finds nearly exact parallels in Barnabas, xx., and Apostolic Constitutions, vii. 18, but with curious variations.
[2428] Barnabas has “darkness,” but afterwards “way of eternal death.”
[2429] Not in Apostolic Constitutions, and no exact parallel in Barnabas.
[2430] Of the twenty-two sins named in this verse, Barnabas gives fourteen, in differing order, and in the singular; Apostolic Constitutions gives all but one (υψος, “loftiness” “haughtiness”), in the same order, and with the same change from plural to singular.
[2431] This verse appears almost word for word in Barnabas, with two additional clauses.
[2432] The Apostolic Constitutions give a parallel from this point; verbally exact from the phrase, “not for that which is good.”
[2433] The word πανθαμαρτητοι occurs only here, and in the parallel passage in Barnabas (rendered in this edition “who are in every respect transgressors,” vol. i. p. 149), and in Apostolic Constitutions (rendered “full of sin”). A similar term occurs in the recently recovered portion of 2 Clement, xviii., where Bishop Lightfoot renders, as above, “an utter sinner.”
[2434] Found verbatim in Apostolic Constitutions, not in Barnabas: with the latter there is no further parallel, except a few phrases in chap. xvi. 2, 3 (which see).
Chapter VI.—Against False Teachers, and Food Offered to Idols.
[2435] Of this chapter, two phrases and one entire clause are found in Apostolic Constitutions, vii. 19–21.
[2436] Comp. Matt. xxiv . 4 (Greek); Revised Version, “lead you astray:” Apostolic Constitutions, vii. 19.
[2437] Or, “the whole yoke.” Those who accept the Jewish-Christian authorship refer this to the ceremonial law. It seems quite as likely to mean ascetic regulations. Of these there are many traces, even in the New-Testament churches.
