Introductory Notice to Two Epistles Concerning Virginity.
Chapter II.—His Behaviour in Places Where There Were Christians of Both Sexes.
[439] i.e., one who has taken the vow of celibacy.
[440] Lit. “will with him minister all those things.”
[441] [The minuteness of all these precepts is of itself suspicious. The “simplicity” of the earlier age had evidently passed when these prohibitions were penned.—R.]
[442] ***, Beelen’s conjecture for ***, “rich.” Zingerle proposes ***, “about to be married.”
[443] Lit. “come to the delight of the truth.”
[444] Lit. “ask of the peace of.”
[445] Lit. “for that which in his;” or “for what belongs to him.”
Chapter IV.—Conduct of the Holy Man Where There are Women Only.
[448] Lit. “all of them are believing women and maidens.”
[449] Lit. “some place on the right side.” The Syrian translator has probably mistaken the meaning of εἰς ἕνα τόπον δεξιόν, where δεξιόν may be compared with dexter in Hor., Sat., ii. 1, 18.—Beelen.
[450] Probably meaning, “when we have inquired of their welfare.”
[451] Lit. “compressed.”
[452] Lit. “chaste,” or “modest.”
[453] Or “are set and fixed.”
[455] Rom. xiv. 15. [The Apostle’s noble and consistent counsel to the “strong” brethren at Rome is in sharp contrast with the use here made of it. Only one of the “weak” brethren could have written this epistle.—R.]
[457] Lit. “near.”
Chapter VI.—How Christians Should Behave Themselves Among Heathens.
