Introduction, by the American Editor.
[5815] Nusquam.
[5816] Ejus.
[5819] Nisi si: an ironical particle.
[5820] Ideo ut.
[5821] Apud ipsum.
[5825] Rom. 7.4; Gal. 2.19. This (although a quotation) is here a Marcionite argument; but there is no need to suppose, with Pamelius, that Marcion tampers with Rom. vi. 2. Oehler also supposes that this is the passage quoted. But no doubt it is a correct quotation from the seventh chapter, as we have indicated.
[5826] Statim (or, perhaps, in respect of the derivation), “firmly” or “stedfastly.”
[5827] Ejus.
[5829] In this argument Tertullian applies with good effect the terms “flesh” and “body,” making the first [which he elsewhere calls the “terrena materia” of our nature (ad Uxor. i. 4)] the proof of the reality of the second, in opposition to Marcion’s Docetic error. “Σὰρξ is not = σῶμα, but as in John i. 14, the material of which man is in the body compounded” (Alford).
[5830] Compare the Rom. 7.4-6; 8.2-3.
[5832] This, which is really the second clause of Rom. vii. 7, seems to be here put as a Marcionite argument of disparagement to the law.
[5833] Per quam liquuit delictum latere: a playful paradox, in the manner of our author, between liquere and latere.
