Introductory Notice to Two Epistles Concerning Virginity.
[308] Lit. “let every one be trying.”
[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.
[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.]
[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.]
Chapter V.—The Irksomeness and the Enemies of Virginity.
[325] Lit. “descend to.”
[327] The words, “in the might of the Holy Spirit,” appear to obscure the sense.—Beelen.
