Chapter 26

Notes

1. 1

   I have ventured to turn the first part of the sentence into a question. What “scripture” this may be, no one knows. [It seems to me a clear reference to Matt. xxv. 38, amplified by the 45th verse, in a way not unusual with our author.] Perhaps, in addition to the passages in Gen. xviii. and Heb. xiii. 2, to which the editors naturally refer, Tertullian may allude to such passages as Mark. ix. 37; Matt. xxv. 40, 45. [Christo in pauperibus.]

2. 2

   I have followed Routh’s conjecture, “feceris” for “fecerit,” which Oehler does not even notice.

3. 3

   Luke x. 5.
