Introductory Notice to Two Epistles Concerning Virginity.

[299] Prov. iii. 3, 4 (LXX.).

[300] Lit. “fixed.” Prov. iv. 18.

[301] Matt. v. 14.

[302] Isa. ix. 2; Matt. iv. 16.

[303] Matt. v. 16; 1 Pet. ii. 12.

[304] Probably referring to 1 Cor. xiv. 40.—Beelen.

Chapter III.—True Virgins Prove Themselves Such by Self-Denial, as Does the True Believer by Good Works.

[305] Eph. v. 6.

[306] Matt. xxv. 2.

[307] 2 Tim. iii. 5.

[308] Lit. “let every one be trying.”

[309] Gal. vi. 3, 4.

[310] Matt. xii. 33. [More probably Luke vi. 44.—R.]

[311] Or “consider.” There is no play on words in the passage quoted (2 Tim. ii. 7), nor perhaps was this intended in the Syriac.

[312] 2 Tim. ii. 7.

[313] Lit. “true in fear of God.” The reading is probably faulty.—Beelen.

[314] The ellipsis is usually to be thus filled up in these epistles. [In similar cases which follow, italics will not be used.—R.]

[315] Gen. i. 28.

[316] Or “the sensual pleasures.”

[317] Or “from all intercourse with.”

[318] Either something is here omitted by the transcriber, or Clement has varied the form of expression.—Beelen.

Chapter IV.—Continuation of the Remarks on Self-Denial; Object and Reward of True Virgins.

[319] “Sanctification.”—Beelen. [So A.V. The R.V. correctly renders ἁγιασμός, “sanctification,” in every instance.—R.]
