Introduction, by the American Editor.

[5931] 1 John iv. 1-3.

[5932] Solventes Jesum. This expression receives some explanation from the Vulgate version of 1 John iv. 3: “Et omnis spiritus qui solvit Jesum Christum ex Deo non est.” From Irenæus, Vol. I., 443 (Harvey, ii. 89), we learn that the Gnostics divided Jesus from Christ: “Alterum quidem Jesum intelligunt, alterum autem Christum,”—an error which was met in the clause of the creed expressing faith in “One Lord Jesus Christ.” Grabe, after Socrates, Hist. Eccles. vii. 32, says that the oldest mss. of St. John’s epistle read πᾶν πνεῦμα ὅ λύει τὸν ᾽Ιησοῦν. If so, Tertullian must be regarded as combining the two readings, viz., that which we find in the received text and this just quoted. Thus Grabe. It would be better to say that T. read John 4.2 as we have it, only omitting ᾽Ιησοῦν; and in John 4.3 read the old lection to which Socrates refers instead of πᾶν πνεῦμα ὅ μὴ ὁμολογεὶ.

[5933] 2 Thess. ii. 9.

[5934] Instinctum fallaciæ.

[5935] 2 Thess. ii. 10-12.

[5936] Summissu erroris.

[5937] Marcion, or rather his Christ, who on the hypothesis absurdly employs the Creator’s Christ on the flagrantly inconsistent mission of avenging his truth, i.e. Marcionism.

[5938] Habens fungi…Creatori.

[5939] Angelum: the Antichrist sent by the Creator.

[5940] Æmulatio.

[5941] 2 Thess. ii. 11.

[5942] Plagis: “heavy strokes,” in opposition to the previous “beneficiis.”

[5943] Prædicationibus: see Rom. i. 20.

[5944] Productus est.

[5945] Materia.

[5946] 2 Thess. iii. 10.

[5947] Deut. xxv. 4.

Chapter XVII.—The Epistle to the Laodiceans. The Proper Designation is to the Ephesians. Recapitulation of All Things in Christ from the Beginning of the Creation. No Room for Marcion’s Christ Here. Numerous Parallels Between This Epistle and Passages in the Old Testament. The Prince of the Power of the Air, and the God of This World—Who? Creation and Regeneration the Work of One God. How Christ Has Made the Law Obsolete. A Vain Erasure of Marcion’s. The Apostles as Well as the Prophets from the Creator.

[5948] Veritati.

[5949] Titulum interpolare gestiit: or, “of corrupting its title.”

[5950] Certe tamen.

[5951] For a discussion on the title of this epistle in a succinct shape, the reader is referred to Dean Alford’s Gr. Test. vol. iii. Prolegomena, chap. ii. sec. 2.
