Polycarp, Letter to the Philippians

Editors' preface

ΤΟΥ ΑΓΙΟΥ ΠΟΛΥΚΑΡΠΟΥ ΕΠΙΣΚΟΠΟΥ ΣΜΥΡΝΗΣ ΚΑΙ ΙΕΡΟΜΑΡΤΥΡΟΣ ΠΡΟΣ ΦΙΛΙΠΠΗΣΙΟΥΣ ΕΠΙΣΤΟΛΗ

Of the holy Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna and hieromartyr, letter to the Philippians

Πολύκαρπος καὶ οἱ σὺν αὐτῷ πρεσβύτεροι τῇ Ἐκκλησίᾳ τοῦ Θεοῦ τῇ παροικούσῃ Φιλίππους· Ἔλεος ὑμῖν καὶ εἰρήνη παρὰ Θεοῦ παντοκράτορος καὶ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν πληθυνθείη.

Polycarp and the presbyters who are with him, to the Church of God that sojourns at Philippi: mercy to you and peace from God almighty and [from the] Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour be multiplied.

[1] Συνεχάρην ὑμῖν μεγάλως ἐν Κυρίῳ ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστῷ, δεξαμένοις τὰ μιμήματα τῆς ἀληθοῦς ἀγάπης, καὶ προπέμψασιν, ὡς ἐπέβαλεν ὑμῖν, τοὺς ἐνειλημμένους τοῖς ἁγιοπρεπέσι δεσμοῖς, ἅτινά ἐστι διαδήματα τῶν ἀληθῶς ὑπὸ Θεοῦ καὶ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν ἐκλελεγμένων· καὶ ὅτι ἡ βεβαία τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν ῥίζα, ἐξ ἀρχαίων καταγγελλομένη χρόνων, μέχρι νῦν διαμένει, καὶ καρποφορεῖ εἰς τὸν Κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν, ὃς ὑπέμεινεν ὑπὲρ τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν ἡμῶν ἕως θανάτου καταντῆσαι, « ὃν ἤγειρεν ὁ Θεὸς, λύσας τὰς ὠδῖνας τοῦ ᾅδου. Εἰς ὃν οὐκ ἰδόντες πιστεύετε, πιστεύοντες δὲ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε χαρᾷ ἀνεκλαλήτῳ καὶ δεδοξασμένῃ· » εἰς ἣν πολλοὶ ἐπιθυμοῦσιν εἰσελθεῖν, εἰδότες ὅτι « χάριτί ἐστε σεσωσμένοι, οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων, » ἀλλὰ θελήματι Θεοῦ, διὰ Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ.

[1] I rejoiced greatly with you in our Lord Jesus Christ, that you received the likenesses of true love, and escorted on their way, as was fitting for you, those enfolded in the saint-befitting bonds, which are the diadems of those truly chosen by God and our Lord; and that the firm root of your faith, proclaimed from ancient times, abides until now, and bears fruit unto our Lord Jesus Christ, Who endured for our sins to come even unto death, « Whom God raised, having loosed the pangs of Hades. In Whom, not having seen [Him], you believe, and believing you exult with joy unspeakable and glorified; » into which [joy] many desire to enter, knowing that « by grace you are saved, not of works, » but by the will of God, through Jesus Christ.

[2] « Διὸ ἀναζωσάμενοι τὰς ὀσφύας ὑμῶν δουλεύσατε τῷ Θεῷ ἐν φόβῳ » καὶ ἀληθείᾳ, ἀπολιπόντες τὴν κενὴν ματαιολογίαν καὶ τὴν τῶν πολλῶν πλάνην, « πιστεύσαντες εἰς τὸν ἐγείραντα τὸν Κύριον

[2] « Wherefore, having girded up your loins, serve God in fear » and truth, having forsaken the empty vain-talking and the error of the many, « having believed in Him Who raised our

PG 5:1008

ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν, καὶ δόντα αὐτῷ δόξαν » καὶ θρόνον ἐκ δεξιῶν αὐτοῦ· ᾧ ὑπετάγη τὰ πάντα ἐπουράνια καὶ ἐπίγεια· ᾧ πᾶσα πνοὴ λατρεύει· ὃς ἔρχεται κριτὴς ζώντων καὶ νεκρῶν· οὗ τὸ αἷμα ἐκζητήσει ὁ Θεὸς ἀπὸ τῶν ἀπειθούντων αὐτῷ. Ὁ δὲ ἐγείρας αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν καὶ ἡμᾶς ἐγερεῖ, ἐὰν ποιῶμεν αὐτοῦ τὸ θέλημα, καὶ πορευώμεθα ἐν ταῖς ἐντολαῖς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀγαπῶμεν ἃ ἠγάπησεν, ἀπεχόμενοι πάσης ἀδικίας, πλεονεξίας, φιλαργυρίας, καταλαλιᾶς, ψευδομαρτυρίας· « μὴ ἀποδιδόντες κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ, ἢ λοιδορίαν ἀντὶ λοιδορίας, » ἢ γρόνθον ἀντὶ γρόνθου, ἢ κατάραν ἀντὶ κατάρας· μνημονεύοντες δὲ ὧν εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος διδάσκων· « Μὴ κρίνετε ἵνα μὴ κριθῆτε· ἀφίετε, καὶ ἀφεθήσεται ὑμῖν· ἐλεεῖτε, ἵνα ἐλεηθῆτε· [ἐν] ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε, ἀντιμετρηθήσεται ὑμῖν· » καὶ ὅτι « Μακάριοι οἱ πτωχοὶ καὶ οἱ διωκόμενοι ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης, ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ Θεοῦ. »

Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, and gave Him glory » and a throne at His right hand; to Whom all things in heaven and on earth were made subject; Whom every breath serves; Who comes as judge of the living and the dead; Whose blood God will require of those who disobey Him. And He Who raised Him from the dead will raise us also, if we do His will, and walk in His commandments, and love what He loved, abstaining from all unrighteousness, covetousness, love of money, slander, false witness; « not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing, » or blow for blow, or curse for curse; but remembering what the Lord said, teaching: « Judge not, that you be not judged; forgive, and it shall be forgiven you; be merciful, that you may obtain mercy; with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again; » and that « Blessed are the poor and those persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of God. »

[3] Ταῦτα, ἀδελφοὶ, οὐκ ἐμαυτῷ ἐπιτρέψας γράφω ὑμῖν περὶ τῆς δικαιοσύνης· ἀλλ᾽ ἐπεὶ ὑμεῖς προεπεκαλέσασθέ με. Οὔτε γὰρ ἐγὼ, οὔτε ἄλλος ὅμοιος ἐμοὶ δύναται κατακολουθῆσαι τῇ σοφίᾳ τοῦ μακαρίου καὶ ἐνδόξου Παύλου· ὃς γενόμενος ἐν ὑμῖν, κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν τότε ἀνθρώπων ἐδίδαξεν ἀκριβῶς καὶ βεβαίως τὸν περὶ ἀληθείας λόγον· ὃς καὶ ἀπὼν ὑμῖν ἔγραψεν ἐπιστολὰς, εἰς ἃς ἐὰν ἐγκύπτητε, δυνηθήσεσθε οἰκοδομεῖσθαι εἰς τὴν δοθεῖσαν ὑμῖν πίστιν, « ἥτις ἐστὶ μήτηρ πάντων ἡμῶν, » ἐπακολουθούσης τῆς ἐλπίδος, προαγούσης τῆς ἀγάπης, τῆς εἰς Θεὸν καὶ Χριστὸν καὶ εἰς τὸν πλησίον. Ἐὰν γάρ τις τούτων ἐντὸς ᾖ, πεπλήρωκεν ἐντολὴν δικαιοσύνης· ὁ γὰρ ἔχων ἀγάπην, μακράν ἐστι πάσης ἁμαρτίας.

[3] These things, brethren, I write to you concerning righteousness not because I took it upon myself, but because you yourselves called upon me first. For neither I, nor another like me, is able to follow after the wisdom of the blessed and glorious Paul; who, having been among you, in the presence of the men of that time taught accurately and firmly the word concerning truth; who also, when absent, wrote you letters, into which, if you look closely, you will be able to be built up into the faith that was given to you, « which is the mother of us all, » with hope following after and love going before — [the love] towards God and Christ and towards the neighbour. For if anyone is within these, he has fulfilled the commandment of righteousness; for he who has love is far from all sin.

[4] « Ἀρχὴ δὲ πάντων χαλεπῶν φιλαργυρία. » Εἰδότες οὖν ὅτι « οὐδὲν εἰσηνέγκαμεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον, ἀλλ᾽ οὐδὲ ἐξενεγκεῖν τι ἔχομεν, » ὁπλισώμεθα τοῖς ὅπλαις τῆς δικαιοσύνης, καὶ διδάξωμεν ἑαυτοὺς πρῶτον, πορεύεσθαι ἐν τῇ ἐντολῇ τοῦ Κυρίου· ἔπειτα καὶ

[4] « But the beginning of all troubles is the love of money. » Knowing therefore that « we brought nothing into the world, neither have we anything to carry out, » let us arm ourselves with the arms of righteousness, and let us teach ourselves first to walk in the commandment of the Lord; and then also

Lucae in animo habuisse? Crednero, qui (Beiträge zur Einleitung in die bibl. Schriften I, 21) videtur suspicari, τῷ πνεύματι apud S. Matthaeum assumentum esse recentioris aevi, neutiquam assentiri possum. ID.

Smith and Ruchat add, from the old interpreter and from St Matthew 5:3, τῷ πνεύματι (after πτωχοί), a word which St Luke 6:20 indeed omits. But what prevents the holy Father from having had the parallel passage of St Luke in mind? With Credner, who (Beiträge zur Einleitung in die bibl. Schriften I, 21) seems to suspect that τῷ πνεύματι in St Matthew is an addition of a later age, I can in no way agree. The same.

τὰς γυναῖκας ὑμῶν ἐν τῇ δοθείσῃ αὐταῖς πίστει καὶ ἀγάπῃ καὶ ἁγνείᾳ, στεργούσας τοὺς ἑαυτῶν ἄνδρας ἐν πάσῃ ἀληθείᾳ, καὶ ἀγαπώσας πάντας ἐξ ἴσου ἐν πάσῃ ἐγκρατείᾳ, καὶ τὰ τέκνα παιδεύειν τὴν παιδείαν τοῦ φόβου τοῦ Θεοῦ· τὰς χήρας σωφρονούσας περὶ τὴν τοῦ Κυρίου πίστιν, ἐντυγχανούσας ἀδιαλείπτως περὶ πάντων, μακρὰν οὔσας πάσης διαβολῆς, καταλαλιᾶς, ψευδομαρτυρίας, φιλαργυρίας καὶ παντὸς κακοῦ· γινωσκούσας ὅτι εἰσὶ θυσιαστήριον Θεοῦ, καὶ ὅτι πάντα μωμοσκοπεῖται, καὶ λέληθεν αὐτὸν οὐδὲν, οὔτε λογισμῶν, οὔτε ἐννοιῶν, οὔτε τι τῶν κρυπτῶν τῆς καρδίας.

[let us teach] your wives [to walk] in the faith given to them and in love and in purity, cherishing their own husbands in all truth, and loving all alike in all self-control, and to instruct their children with the instruction of the fear of God; the widows, to be sober-minded concerning the faith of the Lord, interceding unceasingly concerning all, keeping far from all slander, evil speaking, false witness, love of money, and every evil; knowing that they are an altar of God, and that all things are inspected for blemish, and that nothing escapes Him, neither of reasonings nor of thoughts, nor any of the hidden things of the heart.

[5] Εἰδότες οὖν ὅτι « Θεὸς οὐ μυκτηρίζεται, » ὀφείλομεν ἀξίως τῆς ἐντολῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ δόξης περιπατεῖν. Ὁμοίως διάκονοι ἄμεμπτοι κατενώπιον αὐτοῦ τῆς δικαιοσύνης, ὡς Θεοῦ καὶ Χριστοῦ διάκονοι, καὶ οὐκ ἀνθρώπων· μὴ διάβολοι, μὴ δίλογοι, ἀφιλάργυροι, ἐγκρατεῖς περὶ πάντα, εὔσπλαγχνοι, ἐπιμελεῖς, πορευόμενοι κατὰ τὴν ἀλήθειαν τοῦ Κυρίου, ὃς ἐγένετο διάκονος πάντων· ᾧ ἐὰν εὐαρεστήσωμεν ἐν τῷ νῦν αἰῶνι, ἀποληψόμεθα καὶ τὸν μέλλοντα, καθὼς ὑπέσχετο ἡμῖν ἐγεῖραι ἡμᾶς ἐκ νεκρῶν, καὶ ὅτι ἐὰν πολιτευσώμεθα ἀξίως αὐτοῦ, « καὶ συμβασιλεύσομεν » αὐτῷ, εἴγε πιστεύομεν.

[5] Knowing therefore that « God is not mocked, » we ought to walk worthily of His commandment and of His glory. Likewise deacons [are to be] blameless before His righteousness, as deacons of God and of Christ and not of men: not slanderers, not double-tongued, not lovers of money, self-controlled in all things, compassionate, diligent, walking according to the truth of the Lord, Who became minister of all; to Whom, if we are well-pleasing in the present age, we shall receive also the [age] to come, even as He promised us to raise us from the dead, and [promised] that, if we conduct ourselves worthily of Him, « we shall also reign with » Him — if indeed we believe.

Ὁμοίως καὶ νεώτεροι ἄμεμπτοι ἐν πᾶσι, πρὸ παντὸς προνοοῦντες ἁγνείας, καὶ χαλιναγωγοῦντες ἑαυτοὺς ἀπὸ παντὸς κακοῦ. Καλὸν γὰρ τὸ ἀνακόπτεσθαι ἀπὸ τῶν ἐπιθυμιῶν τῶν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ, ὅτι πᾶσα « ἐπιθυμία κατὰ τοῦ πνεύματος στρατεύεται· » καὶ « οὔτε πόρνοι, οὔτε μαλακοὶ, οὔτε ἀρσενοκοῖται βασιλείαν Θεοῦ κληρονομήσουσιν, » οὔτε οἱ ποιοῦντες τὰ ἄτοπα. Διὸ δέον ἀπέχεσθαι ἀπὸ πάντων τούτων, ὑποτασσομένους τοῖς πρεσβυτέροις καὶ διακόνοις, ὡς Θεῷ καὶ Χριστῷ· τὰς παρθένους ἐν ἀμώμῳ καὶ ἁγνῇ συνειδήσει περιπατεῖν.

Likewise also [let the] younger men be blameless in all things, taking thought for purity before everything, and bridling themselves away from every evil. For it is good to be cut off from the lusts that are in the world, because every « lust wars against the spirit; » and « neither fornicators, nor the effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with men shall inherit the kingdom of God, » nor those who do what is unseemly. Wherefore it is needful to abstain from all these things, being subject to the presbyters and deacons as to God and Christ; [and for] the virgins to walk in a blameless and pure conscience.

[6] Καὶ οἱ πρεσβύτεροι δὲ εὔσπλαγχνοι, εἰς πάντας ἐλεήμονες, ἐπιστρέφοντες τὰ ἀποπεπλανημένα, ἐπισκεπτόμενοι πάντας ἀσθενεῖς, μὴ ἀμελοῦντες χήρας, ἢ ὀρφανοῦ, ἢ πένητος· ἀλλὰ « προνοοῦντες ἀεὶ τοῦ καλοῦ ἐνώπιον Θεοῦ καὶ ἀνθρώπων, » ἀπεχόμενοι πάσης ὀργῆς, προσωποληψίας, κρίσεως

[6] And let the presbyters also be tender-hearted, merciful towards all, turning back those that have strayed, visiting all the sick, not neglecting widow, or orphan, or poor man; but « providing always for what is good in the sight of God and of men, » abstaining from all anger, respect of persons, unjust

PG 5:1012

ἀδίκου· μακρὰν ὄντες πάσης φιλαργυρίας· μὴ ταχέως πιστεύοντες κατά τινος· μὴ ἀπότομοι ἐν κρίσει, εἰδότες ὅτι πάντες ὀφειλέται ἐσμὲν ἁμαρτίας. Εἰ οὖν δεόμεθα τοῦ Κυρίου, ἵνα ἡμῖν ἀφῇ, ὀφείλομεν καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφιέναι· ἀπέναντι γὰρ τῶν τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ Θεοῦ ἐσμεν ὀφθαλμῶν, καὶ « πάντας δεῖ παραστῆναι τῷ βήματι τοῦ Χριστοῦ, καὶ ἕκαστον ὑπὲρ ἑαυτοῦ λόγον δοῦναι. » Οὕτως οὖν δουλεύσωμεν αὐτῷ μετὰ φόβου καὶ πάσης εὐλαβείας, καθὼς αὐτὸς ἐνετείλατο, καὶ οἱ εὐαγγελισάμενοι ἡμῖν ἀπόστολοι, καὶ οἱ προφῆται, οἱ προκηρύξαντες τὴν ἔλευσιν τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν· ζηλωταὶ περὶ τὸ καλὸν, ἀπεχόμενοι τῶν σκανδάλων καὶ τῶν ψευδαδέλφων καὶ τῶν ἐν ὑποκρίσει φερόντων τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Κυρίου, οἵτινες ἀποπλανῶσι κενοὺς ἀνθρώπους.

judgement; being far from all love of money; not quick to believe [anything] against anyone; not severe in judgement, knowing that we are all debtors of sin. If then we beseech the Lord that He forgive us, we ought also ourselves to forgive; for we stand before the eyes of the Lord and God, and « all must stand before the judgement-seat of Christ, and each give account for himself. » So then let us serve Him with fear and all reverence, as He Himself commanded, and the apostles who preached the gospel to us, and the prophets who proclaimed beforehand the coming of our Lord; being zealous for what is good, abstaining from stumbling-blocks and from false brethren and from those who bear the name of the Lord in hypocrisy, who lead empty men astray.

[7] « Πᾶς γὰρ, ὃς ἂν μὴ ὁμολογῇ, Ἰησοῦν Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθέναι, Ἀντίχριστός ἐστι· » καὶ ὃς ἂν μὴ ὁμολογῇ τὸ μαρτύριον τοῦ σταυροῦ, ἐκ τοῦ διαβόλου ἐστί· καὶ ὃς ἂν μεθοδεύῃ τὰ Λόγια τοῦ Κυρίου πρὸς τὰς ἰδίας ἐπιθυμίας, καὶ λέγῃ, μήτε ἀνάστασιν μήτε κρίσιν εἶναι, οὗτος πρωτότοκός ἐστι τοῦ Σατανᾶ. Διὸ ἀπολείποντες τὴν ματαιότητα τῶν πολλῶν καὶ τὰς ψευδοδιδασκαλίας, ἐπὶ τὸν ἐξ ἀρχῆς ἡμῖν παραδοθέντα λόγον ἐπιστρέψωμεν, « νήφοντες πρὸς τὰς εὐχὰς, » καὶ προσκαρτεροῦντες νηστείαις, δεήσεσιν αἰτούμενοι τὸν παντεπόπτην Θεὸν, « μὴ εἰσενεγκεῖν ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμὸν, » καθὼς εἶπεν ὁ Κύριος· « Τὸ μὲν πνεῦμα πρόθυμον, ἡ δὲ σὰρξ ἀσθενής. »

[7] « For everyone who does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is Antichrist; » and whoever does not confess the testimony of the cross is of the devil; and whoever craftily twists the Oracles of the Lord to his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgement, this man is the first-born of Satan. Wherefore, forsaking the vanity of the many and [their] false teachings, let us turn back to the word handed down to us from the beginning, « being sober unto prayers, » and persevering in fastings, beseeching the all-seeing God with supplications « not to lead us into temptation, » even as the Lord said: « The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. »

[8] Ἀδιαλείπτως οὖν προσκαρτερῶμεν τῇ ἐλπίδι ἡμῶν καὶ τῷ ἀῤῥαβῶνι τῆς δικαιοσύνης ἡμῶν, ὅς ἐστι Χριστὸς Ἰησοῦς, « ὃς ἀνήνεγκεν ἡμῶν τὰς ἁμαρτίας τῷ ἰδίῳ σώματι ἐπὶ τὸ ξύλον, ὃς ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ ἐποίησεν, οὐδὲ εὑρέθη δόλος ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτοῦ· » ἀλλὰ δι᾽ ἡμᾶς, ἵνα ζήσωμεν ἐν αὐτῷ, πάντα ὑπέμεινε. Μιμηταὶ οὖν γενώμεθα τῆς ὑπομονῆς αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐὰν πάσχωμεν διὰ τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ, δοξάζωμεν αὐτόν. Τοῦτον γὰρ ἡμῖν τὸν ὑπογραμμὸν ἔθηκε δι᾽ ἑαυτοῦ, καὶ ἡμεῖς τοῦτο ἐπιστεύσαμεν.

[8] Unceasingly therefore let us persevere in our hope and in the pledge of our righteousness, which is Christ Jesus, « Who bore our sins in His own body upon the tree, Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth; » but for our sake, that we might live in Him, He endured all things. Let us therefore become imitators of His endurance; and if we suffer for His name, let us glorify Him. For this example He set before us in His own person, and this we have believed.

[9] Παρακαλῶ οὖν πάντας ὑμᾶς πειθαρχεῖν τῷ

λόγῳ τῆς δικαιοσύνης, καὶ ἀσκεῖν πᾶσαν ὑπομονὴν, ἣν καὶ ἴδετε κατ᾽ ὀφθαλμοὺς, οὐ μόνον ἐν τοῖς μακαρίοις Ἰγνατίῳ καὶ Ζωσίμῳ καὶ Ῥούφῳ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν ἄλλοις τοῖς ἐξ ὑμῶν, καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τοῖς λοιποῖς ἀποστόλοις· πεπεισμένους, ὅτι οὗτοι πάντες οὐκ εἰς κενὸν ἔδραμον, ἀλλ᾽ ἐν πίστει καὶ δικαιοσύνῃ· καὶ ὅτι εἰς τὸν ὀφειλόμενον αὐτοῖς τόπον εἰσὶ παρὰ τῷ Κυρίῳ, ᾧ καὶ συνέπαθον. Οὐ γὰρ τὸν νῦν ἠγάπησαν αἰῶνα, ἀλλὰ τὸν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἀποθανόντα, καὶ δι᾽ ἡμᾶς ὑπὸ [τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀνασταθέντα].

word of righteousness and to practise all endurance, which you also saw before your eyes, not only in the blessed Ignatius and Zosimus and Rufus, but also in others who were from among you, and in Paul himself and the rest of the apostles; being persuaded that all these ran not in vain, but in faith and righteousness, and that they are in the place due to them beside the Lord, with Whom they also suffered. For they did not love the present age, but Him Who died on our behalf and for our sake was raised up by ⟦God⟧.

[10] In his ergo state, et Domini exemplar sequimini, firmi in fide et immutabiles, fraternitatis amatores, diligentes invicem, in veritate sociati, mansuetudinem Domini alterutri praestantes, nullum despicientes. Cum potestis benefacere, nolite differre, quia « eleemosyna de morte liberat. » Omnes vobis invicem subjecti estote, « conversationem vestram irreprehensibilem habentes in gentibus, » ut ex bonis operibus vestris et vos laudem accipiatis, et Dominus in vobis non blasphemetur. Vae autem illi, per quem nomen Domini blasphematur. Sobrietatem ergo docete omnes; in qua et vos conversamini.

[10] Stand fast, therefore, in these things, and follow the pattern of the Lord, firm in the faith and unchangeable, lovers of the brotherhood, loving one another, united in the truth, showing the gentleness of the Lord to one another, despising no one. When you are able to do good, do not put it off, because « almsgiving delivers from death. » Be all of you subject to one another, « having your conduct blameless among the Gentiles, » so that from your good works you yourselves may receive praise, and the Lord may not be blasphemed in you. But woe to him through whom the name of the Lord is blasphemed. Teach sobriety, therefore, to all, and conduct yourselves in it as well.

[11] Nimis contristatus sum pro Valente, qui presbyter factus est aliquando apud vos; quod sic ignoret is locum, qui datus est ei. Moneo itaque vos ut abstineatis ab avaritia, et sitis casti et veraces. Abstinete vos ab omni malo. Qui autem in his non potest se gubernare, quomodo alii hoc pronuntiat? Si quis non abstinuerit se ab avaritia, ab idololatria coinquinabitur, et tanquam inter gentes judicabitur. Qui autem ignorant judicium Domini? « An nescimus, quia sancti mundum judicabunt? » sicut Paulus docet. Ego autem nihil tale sensi in vobis, vel audivi, in quibus laboravit beatus Paulus, qui estis [laudati] in principio epistolae ejus. De vobis etenim gloriatur in omnibus Ecclesiis, quae Deum solae tunc cognoverant; nos autem nondum noveramus. Valde ergo, fratres, contristor pro illo et pro conjuge ejus; quibus det Dominus poenitentiam veram. Sobrii ergo estote et vos in hoc; « et non sicut inimicos tales existimetis, » sed sicut passibilia membra et errantia eos revocate, ut omnium vestrum corpus salvetis. Hoc enim agentes, vos ipsos aedificatis.

[11] I am greatly grieved for Valens, who was once made a presbyter among you, that he should so fail to understand the place that was given to him. I warn you, therefore, to abstain from avarice, and to be chaste and truthful. Abstain from every evil. But he who cannot govern himself in these things, how does he proclaim it to another? If anyone does not abstain from avarice, he will be defiled by idolatry, and will be judged as one among the Gentiles. And who are ignorant of the judgement of the Lord? « Do we not know that the saints will judge the world? » as Paul teaches. But I have perceived or heard no such thing among you, among whom the blessed Paul laboured, who are [praised] in the beginning of his letter. For he glories about you in all the Churches which alone at that time had known God; but we had not yet known Him. I am therefore very grieved, brethren, for him and for his wife; may the Lord grant them true repentance. Be sober, therefore, you also in this; « and do not regard such people as enemies, » but call them back as suffering and straying members, so that you may save the body of you all. For in doing this you build up yourselves.

[12] Confido enim vos bene exercitatos esse in sacris litteris, et nihil vos latet; mihi autem non est concessum modo. Ut his Scripturis dictum est: « Irascimini et nolite peccare, » et: « Sol non occidat

[12] For I trust that you are well trained in the sacred Scriptures, and that nothing is hidden from you; but to me it is not granted at present. As it is said in these Scriptures: « Be angry and do not sin, » and: « Let not the sun go down […]

PG 5:1016

super iracundiam vestram. » Beatus qui meminerit; quod ego credo esse in vobis. Deus autem et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et ipse sempiternus pontifex, Dei Filius Jesus Christus, aedificet vos in fide et veritate, et in omni mansuetudine, et sine iracundia, et in patientia et longanimitate et tolerantia et castitate; et det vobis sortem et partem inter sanctos suos, et nobis vobiscum et omnibus qui sunt sub coelo, qui credituri sunt in Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum et in ipsius Patrem, qui « resuscitavit eum a mortuis. » Pro omnibus sanctis orate. Orate etiam pro regibus et potestatibus et principibus, atque pro persequentibus et odientibus vos, et pro inimicis crucis: ut fructus vester manifestus sit in omnibus, ut sitis in illo perfecti.

[…] upon your anger. » Blessed is he who remembers it; and I believe this is so with you. And may God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the eternal High Priest Himself, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, build you up in faith and truth, and in all gentleness, and without anger, and in patience and long-suffering and endurance and chastity; and may He give you a lot and portion among His saints, and to us with you, and to all who are under heaven, who shall believe in our Lord Jesus Christ and in His Father, Who « raised Him from the dead. » Pray for all the saints. Pray also for kings and powers and princes, and for those who persecute and hate you, and for the enemies of the cross, that your fruit may be manifest among all, that you may be perfect in Him.

[13] Ἐγράψατέ μοι καὶ ὑμεῖς καὶ Ἰγνάτιος, ἵνα, ἐάν τις ἀπέρχηται εἰς Συρίαν, καὶ τὰ παρ᾽ ὑμῶν ἀποκομίσῃ γράμματα· ὅπερ ποιήσω, ἐὰν λάβω καιρὸν εὔθετον, εἴτε ἐγὼ, εἴτε ὃν πέμψω πρεσβεύσοντα καὶ περὶ ὑμῶν. Τὰς ἐπιστολὰς Ἰγνατίου τὰς πεμφθείσας ἡμῖν ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἄλλας, ὅσας εἴχομεν παρ᾽ ἡμῖν, ἐπέμψαμεν ὑμῖν, καθὼς ἐνετείλασθε· αἵτινες ὑποτεταγμέναι εἰσὶ τῇ ἐπιστολῇ ταύτῃ· ἐξ ὧν μεγάλα ὠφεληθῆναι δυνήσεσθε. Περιέχουσι γὰρ πίστιν καὶ ὑπομονὴν καὶ πᾶσαν οἰκοδομὴν, τὴν εἰς τὸν Κύριον ἡμῶν ἀνήκουσαν.

[13] You wrote to me, both you and Ignatius, that if anyone is going away to Syria, he should carry your letters also; which I will do, if I find a fitting opportunity, either I myself or one whom I shall send to act as envoy on your behalf also. The letters of Ignatius that were sent to us by him, and others, as many as we had with us, we have sent to you, as you enjoined; they are subjoined to this letter; and from them you will be able to profit greatly. For they contain faith and endurance and all the edification that pertains to our Lord.

Et de ipso Ignatio, et de his, qui cum eo sunt, quod certius agnoveritis, significate.

And concerning Ignatius himself, and those who are with him, make known to us whatever you have learned more certainly.

[14] Haec vobis scripsi per Crescentem, quem in praesentem diem commendavi vobis, et nunc commendo. Conversatus est enim nobiscum inculpabiliter; credo quia et vobiscum similiter. Sororem autem ejus habebitis commendatam, cum venerit ad vos. Incolumes estote in Domino Jesu Christo. Gratia cum omnibus vobis. Amen.

[14] I have written these things to you by Crescens, whom I have commended to you up to the present day, and now commend. For he has conducted himself blamelessly among us; and I believe likewise among you. And you will hold his sister commended, when she comes to you. Be kept safe in the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace be with you all. Amen.

That is, « Antioch. » Ignatius (ch. 7) had charged Polycarp to send a legate himself to the Church of Antioch on account of the restoration of peace, and (ch. 8) at the same time to hand to this legate letters of congratulation from the other Churches. Besides this charge of Ignatius, the Philippians too had themselves approached Polycarp with requests that he should hand their letter to his legate to be carried to the Antiochenes. Polycarp promises that he will answer these wishes.

fidei vestrae a principio usque nunc permanet, et fructificat in Domino Jesu Christo, qui sustinuit pro peccatis nostris usque ad mortem: « quem resuscitavit Deus, dissolvens dolores inferni: quem cum non videritis, nunc diligitis; in quem nunc non aspicientes, creditis; credentes autem gaudebitis gaudio inenarrabili, et glorificato; » in quod multi desiderant introire; scientes quia « gratia salvi facti estis, » non ex operibus, sed in voluntate Dei, per Jesum Christum. II. « Propter quod succincti lumbos vestros, servite Deo cum timore, » et in veritate; dimisso inani vaniloquio et multo errore. « Credite ergo in illum qui resuscitavit Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum ex mortuis, et dedit ei gloriam, » et sedem in dextera sua: cui subjecta sunt omnia coelestia, et terrestria, et subterranea: cui omnis spiritus servit; qui venturus est judicare vivos et mortuos: cujus sanguinem requiret Deus ab eis qui non crediderunt in eum: qui et resuscitavit eum a mortuis: qui et nos resuscitaturus est in vita, si fecerimus voluntatem ejus, et ambulaverimus in mandatis ipsius, et dilexerimus quae ipse dilexit: abstinentes nos ab omni injustitia, hoc est, a concupiscentia, ab avaritia, a detractione, a falso testimonio: « non reddentes malum pro malo, aut injuriam pro injuria, » aut contumeliam pro contumelia, aut maledictum pro maledicto. Mementote quod Dominus docens dixit: « Nolite judicare, ne judicemini; dimittite, et dimittetur vobis: » miseremini, et Dominus miserebitur vestri. « Qua enim mensura mensi fueritis, remetietur eadem vobis. » Et quod dictum est: « Beati pauperes spiritu, et qui persecutionem patiuntur propter justitiam: quoniam ipsorum est regnum coelorum. » III. Haec autem, fratres mei, non a meipso imperans, scribo vobis de justitia; sed quoniam vos provocastis. Propter quod neque ego, neque similis alius mei, poterit sequi sapientiam beati et gloriosi Pauli; qui fuit apud vos, et visus est secundum faciem illis, qui tunc erant, hominibus: qui docuit certissime atque firmissime verbum veritatis: qui et absens scripsit vobis epistolas; ad quas deflectamini, ut possitis aedificari in fide quae data est vobis, quae est mater omnium nostrum, subsequente spe, praecedente dilectione, quae est in Deo, et in Christo, et in proximo. Si enim quis horum intrinsecus repletus fuerit mandatis justitiae, et habuerit dilectionem, longe est ab omni peccato. IV. Principium autem omnium malorum est avaritia. Scitote ergo, quia « nihil intulimus in hunc mundum, neque auferre possumus. » Armemur armis justitiae; et doceamus nosmetipsos primum,

ambulare in mandatis Domini; et post hoc etiam mulieres vestras, in fide quae data est eis, et dilectione, et castitate; amantes suos viros in omni veritate et charitate, diligentes omnes aequaliter in omni continentia, et filios erudire in disciplina et timore Dei. Viduae vero pudicae circa fidem Dei interpellent incessanter pro omnibus: elongantes se ab omnibus diabolicis detractionibus, et falso testimonio, et ab omni malo; cognoscentes seipsas, quia sunt sacrarium Dei; quoniam omnia Deus prospicit, et nihil eum latet; neque cogitatio, neque conscientia, neque aliquod abditum cordis. V. Scientes ergo quia « Deus non deridetur, » debemus digne in mandatis ejus, et gloria ambulare. Similiter diaconi inculpabiles sint in conspectu justitiae ejus, sicut Dei et Christi ministri, et non hominum; non criminatores, neque detractores, neque avari; sed omnia tolerantes, in omnibus misericordes, diligentes in omnibus, ambulantes in veritate Domini, qui factus est minister omnium; cui si complaceamus in hoc saeculo, percipiemus ea quae futura sunt; secundum quod repromisit resuscitare nos a mortuis, et si digne eo conversati fuerimus, et si crediderimus, conregnabimus cum eo. Juvenes similiter inculpabiles sint in omnibus; omnem ignorantiam praevidentes, refrenantes se ab omni malo. Bonum est enim abscindi ab omnibus concupiscentiis mundi. Quoniam omnis concupiscentia « adversus spiritum militat; » quia « neque fornicarii, neque molles, neque masculorum concubitores, regnum Dei possidebunt, » neque illicita facientes. Propter quod abstineri oportet ab omnibus his. Subjecti estote presbyteris et diaconis, sicut Deo et Christo. Virgines, immaculata et casta conscientia ambulate. VI. Presbyteri simplices sint, in omnibus misericordes, omnes ab errore convertentes, omnes infirmos visitantes, viduas et pupillos et pauperes non negligentes; sed semper « providentes bona coram Deo et hominibus. » Abstinete vos ab omni iracundia, a judicio injusto, longe ab omni avaritia estote: non cito consentiatis adversus aliquem, ne praevaricemini in judicio; scientes quia debitores sumus peccati. Si ergo deprecamur Dominum, ut nobis dimittat; debemus etiam nos dimittere. Ante conspectum enim oculorum Domini sumus; et « omnes oportet astare ante tribunal Christi, et unumquemque pro se rationem reddere. » Sic ergo serviamus ei cum timore, et omni reverentia; secundum quod evangelizaverunt nobis apostoli Domini, et prophetae annuntiaverunt adventum Domini nostri Jesu Christi: zelantes bona; abstinentes a scandalis, et falsis fratribus, et qui in hypocrisim portant nomen Domini, qui aberrare faciunt inanes homines.

VII. « Omnis enim qui non confitetur Jesum Christum in carne venisse, hic Antichristus est; » et qui non confitetur martyrium crucis, ex diabolo est; et qui deviaverit eloquia Domini ad propria desideria, et dixerit neque resurrectionem, neque judicium esse; hic primogenitus est Satanae. Propter quod relinquentes vanitatem multorum, et falsas doctrinas, ad illud quod traditum est nobis a principio verbum revertamur. Sobrii simus in orationibus, jejunia tolerantes; et supplicationibus petentes omnium perspectorem Dominum, « ne nos inducat in tentationem; » secundum quod dixit Dominus: « Spiritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infirma. » VIII. Indeficienter ergo toleremus propter spem nostram et pignus justitiae, quod est Jesus Christus; « qui sustulit peccata nostra in corpore suo super lignum; qui peccatum non fecit, nec inventus est dolus in ore ejus, » sed propter nos omnia sustinuit, ut vivamus in ipso. Imitatores ergo efficiamur tolerantiae ejus: et, si passi fuerimus pro nomine ejus, glorificemus eum. Hoc enim nobis indicium posuit de seipso; et nos hoc credidimus. IX. Rogo igitur vos omnes insistere verbo justitiae et patientiae, quam et oculata fide vidistis, non solum in beatissimis illis Ignatio et Zosimo et Rufo, sed et in aliis qui ex vobis sunt, et in ipso Paulo, et caeteris apostolis: confidentes quia hi omnes non in vacuum cucurrerunt, sed in fide et justitia; et ad debitum sibi locum a Domino, cui et compassi sunt, abierunt; quia non hoc saeculum dilexerunt, sed eum qui pro ipsis et pro nobis mortuus est, et a Deo resuscitatus. X. In his ergo state, et Domini exemplar sequimini; firmi in fide et immutabiles, fraternitatis amatores, diligentes invicem, in veritate sociati, mansuetudinem Domini alterutri praestantes, nullum despicientes. Cum potestis benefacere, nolite differre: quia « eleemosyna de morte liberat. » Omnes vobis invicem subjecti estote; « conversationem vestram irreprehensibilem habentes in gentibus; » ut ex bonis operibus vestris et vos laudem accipiatis, et Dominus in vobis non blasphemetur. « Vae autem illi, per quem nomen Domini blasphematur. » Sobrietatem ergo docete omnes, in qua et vos conversamini. XI. Nimis contristatus sum pro Valente, qui presbyter factus est aliquando apud vos; quod sic ignoret is locum qui datus est ei. Moneo itaque vos

In omnibus Ecclesiis, quae Deum solae tunc cognoverant; nos autem nondum noveramus. Per nos Polycarpum intelligit Usserius. Ego Smyrnenses. Vide cap. 3. COT. — Nos autem nondum noveramus. Vixisse his verbis se innuit, cum suas Paulus ad Ecclesias scripsit epistolas, licet nondum Christo nomen dedisset. A quo tempore, cum ad annum usque Christi 169, quo martyrium subiit, vitam ille produxerit; admodum longaevum illum fuisse necesse est, de quo in Praeloquio, Smyrnaeorum de excessu ipsius Epistolae praefixo, diximus. USSER.

In all the Churches which alone at that time had known God; but we had not yet known Him. By « we » Ussher understands Polycarp; I understand the Smyrnaeans. See ch. 3. COTELIER. — But we had not yet known Him. By these words he indicates that he was alive when Paul wrote his letters to the Churches, although he had not yet given his name to Christ. Since from that time he prolonged his life right up to the year of Christ 169, in which he underwent martyrdom, he must have been of a very great age, about which we have spoken in the Preface prefixed to the Letter of the Smyrnaeans on his death.

Τὰ παρ' ὑμῶν ἀποκομίσῃ γράμματα, ὅπερ ποιήσω. Pro ὑμῶν, in Nicephoro et quibusdam Eusebii exemplarib. legitur ἡμῶν, quod et Rufinus secutus fuisse videtur, cum reddidit, « deferat litteras ad vos, » et Polycarpi vetus interpres †cum† vertit: « Deferat litteras meas, quas fecero ad vos; » ita enim illud, ὅπερ ποιήσω, exprimere volebat: quod non animadvertens Jacobus Faber, « quas et dedero ad vos, » hic substituit; contra manuscriptorum fidem. Ubi tamen et nostrum hunc Polycarpi et Eusebii interpretem Rufinum deceptum fuisse apparet, de litteris ad Philippenses deferendis ista accipientem, cum ad Antiochenos dandae litterae intelligantur; vel ab ipsis Philippensibus, si παρ' ὑμῶν, vel a Polycarpo et Smyrnaeis suis, si παρ' ἡμῶν hic legendum fuerit; quod posterius ex Ignatii verbis illis, in Epistola ad Smyrnaeos, firmamentum accipit: Ὃ ἐφάνη μοι ἄξιον, τοῦτό ἐστιν, ὥστε πέμψαι τινὰ τῶν ὑμετέρων μετ' ἐπιστολῆς, ἵνα συνδοξάσῃ τὴν κατὰ Θεὸν αὐτοῖς γενομένην εὐδίαν. « Quod mihi dignum factu est visum, hoc est: ut aliquem vestrum mittatis cum Epistola (ad Antiochenos videlicet in Syria), ut una cum illis glorificet Deum de tranquillitate, quam in Deo consecuti sunt. » USSER.

Τὰ παρ' ὑμῶν ἀποκομίσῃ γράμματα, ὅπερ ποιήσω. For ὑμῶν, ἡμῶν is read in Nicephorus and in some copies of Eusebius, which Rufinus too seems to have followed when he rendered « let him carry the letters to you, » and the old interpreter of Polycarp when he translated: « Let him carry my letters, which I shall have made to you; » for that is how he meant to express ὅπερ ποιήσω; and Jacques Lefèvre, not noticing this, substituted here « which I shall also have given to you, » against the witness of the manuscripts. Here, however, it appears that both this interpreter of Polycarp of ours and Rufinus, the interpreter of Eusebius, were misled, taking these words of letters to be carried to the Philippians, whereas letters to be delivered to the Antiochenes are meant: either from the Philippians themselves, if παρ' ὑμῶν, or from Polycarp and his Smyrnaeans, if παρ' ἡμῶν is to be read here; the latter is confirmed by those words of Ignatius in the Letter to the Smyrnaeans: Ὃ ἐφάνη μοι ἄξιον, τοῦτό ἐστιν, ὥστε πέμψαι τινὰ τῶν ὑμετέρων μετ' ἐπιστολῆς, ἵνα συνδοξάσῃ τὴν κατὰ Θεὸν αὐτοῖς γενομένην εὐδίαν. « What has seemed to me worth doing is this: that you should send one of your number with a Letter (namely to the Antiochenes in Syria), so that together with them he may glorify God for the calm which they have obtained in God. » USSHER.

Ancient version (Latin)

ut abstineatis ab avaritia, et sitis casti et veraces. « Abstinete vos ab omni malo. » Qui autem in his non potest se gubernare, quo modo alii pronuntiat hoc? Si quis non abstinuerit se ab avaritia, ab idololatria coinquinabitur, et tanquam inter gentes judicabitur. Qui autem ignorant judicium Domini? « An nescimus, quia sancti mundum judicabunt? » sicut Paulus docet. Ego autem nihil tale sensi in vobis, vel audivi, in quibus laboravit beatus Paulus, qui estis in principio epistolae ejus. De vobis etenim gloriatur in omnibus Ecclesiis, quae Deum solae tunc cognoverant; nos autem nondum noveramus. Valde ergo, fratres, contristor pro illo et pro conjuge ejus, quibus det Dominus poenitentiam veram. Sobrii ergo estote et vos in hoc; et non sicut inimicos tales existimetis, sed sicut passibilia membra et errantia eos revocate, ut omnium vestrum corpus salvetis. Hoc enim agentes, vos ipsos aedificatis. XII. Confido enim vos bene exercitatos esse in sacris litteris, et nihil vos latet; mihi autem non est concessum modo. Ut his Scripturis dictum est: « Irascimini, et nolite peccare. » Et: « Sol non occidat super iracundiam vestram. » Beatus qui meminerit, quod ego credo esse in vobis. Deus autem et Pater Domini nostri Jesu Christi, et ipse sempiternus Pontifex, Dei Filius, Christus Jesus, aedificet vos in fide et veritate, et in omni mansuetudine, et sine iracundia, et in patientia et longanimitate et tolerantia et castitate; et det vobis sortem et partem inter sanctos suos, et nobis vobiscum, et omnibus qui sunt sub coelo, qui credituri sunt in Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum et in ipsius Patrem, « qui resuscitavit eum a mortuis. » Pro omnibus sanctis orate. Orate etiam pro regibus et potestatibus et principibus, atque pro persequentibus et odientibus vos, et pro inimicis crucis; ut fructus vester manifestus sit in omnibus, ut sitis in illo perfecti. XIII. Scripsistis mihi et vos et Ignatius, ut si quis vadit ad Syriam, deferat litteras meas, quas fecero ad vos, si habuerimus tempus opportunum, sive ego, seu legatus quem misero pro vobis. Epistolas sane Ignatii, quae transmissae sunt vobis ab eo, et Apud Eusebium, Hist. eccl.

Τὰς ἐπιστολὰς Ἰγνατίου τὰς πεμφθείσας ἡμῖν ὑπ' αὐτοῦ. Ita locum hunc citant Eusebius, Nicephorus, et Graecus Actorum Ignatii scriptor anonymus: quam legitimam esse lectionem, agnoscit etiam Baronius, pro qua vetus Latinus Polycarpi interpres hic habet: « Epistolas Ignatii, quae transmissae sunt vobis ab eo, » ubi illud, « ab eo » (Graeco ὑπ' αὐτοῦ respondens) ex Magdalenensis collegii exemplari restituimus; quod alii codices in « habeo » transmutarunt. ID.

Τὰς ἐπιστολὰς Ἰγνατίου τὰς πεμφθείσας ἡμῖν ὑπ' αὐτοῦ. So Eusebius, Nicephorus and the anonymous Greek writer of the Acts of Ignatius cite this passage; Baronius too acknowledges this to be the genuine reading, for which the old Latin interpreter of Polycarp here has: « The letters of Ignatius, which were sent to you by him, » where we have restored « ab eo » (answering to the Greek ὑπ' αὐτοῦ) from the copy of Magdalen College; other codices changed it into « habeo. » THE SAME.

Καὶ ἄλλας ὅσας εἴχομεν παρ' ἡμῖν. See our dissertation on the writings of Ignatius and Polycarp, ch. 2. But in what follows, Ἐξ ὧν μεγάλα ὠφεληθῆναι δυνήσεσθε, the anonymous writer of the martyrdom of Blessed Ignatius reads ὠφεληθήσεσθε, as the old interpreter of Polycarp also rendered it: « From which great profit will come to you. » THE SAME.

Et de ipso Ignatio, etc. Hujus ita in Bibliotheca sua, de Polycarpi hac ad Philippenses Epistola agens, meminit Photius: Λέγει καὶ τὰς ἐπιστολὰς αὐτοῖς Ἰγνατίου τοῦ Θεοφόρου ἀπεσταλκέναι, καὶ αἰτεῖται ἀναδιδαχθῆναι παρ' αὐτῶν, εἴ τι περὶ ἐκείνου διακούσαιεν. « Dicit et epistolas Ignatii Theophori ad eos se misisse; petitque ab illis, si quid de eo inaudierint, edoceri. » In Halloixii tamen editione verba ista sunt omissa: quae docent circa annum Dom. 106, eodem videlicet tempore, quo a Syria ad martyrium Romam abductus est Ignatius, scriptam a Polycarpo istam fuisse epistolam, « in qua, inquit idem Halloixius, cum color et lineamenta, quibus eam Irenaeus, Eusebius, et Photius describunt, reperiantur; quin ipsius martyris germana sit, dubitari non potest. Nam et forma fidei ejus, atque praedicatio veritatis (quam Irenaeus inde posse addisci admonet), clare in ea elucet; et testimonia, quae illic citari e priore Petri Epistola Eusebius docet, multa comparent: et frequentes commonitiones cum perspicuitate sermonis atque simplicitate, juxta ecclesiasticam interpretandi formam (quibus eam abundare Photius profitetur), passim sese offerunt atque ostentant: ita ut ad perfectam ejus recognitionem vix desiderari amplius quidquam possit. » Haec ille. In Latino vero codice D. Alexandri Petavii, tota Epistola ita concluditur: « Incolumes estote in Domino Jesu Christo, et gratia ipsius cum omnibus vobis. » ID.

Et de ipso Ignatio, etc. Photius mentions this in his Bibliotheca, treating of this Letter of Polycarp to the Philippians: Λέγει καὶ τὰς ἐπιστολὰς αὐτοῖς Ἰγνατίου τοῦ Θεοφόρου ἀπεσταλκέναι, καὶ αἰτεῖται ἀναδιδαχθῆναι παρ' αὐτῶν, εἴ τι περὶ ἐκείνου διακούσαιεν. « He says that he has also sent them the letters of Ignatius Theophorus, and he asks to be informed by them if they have heard anything about him. » In Halloix's edition, however, these words are omitted; they show that this letter was written by Polycarp about the year of the Lord 106, namely at the same time as Ignatius was led away from Syria to Rome for martyrdom; « a letter, » says the same Halloix, « in which, since the colour and features with which Irenaeus, Eusebius and Photius describe it are found, it cannot be doubted that it is the genuine work of the martyr himself. For the form of his faith and the preaching of the truth (which Irenaeus observes can be learned from it) shine out clearly in it; and the testimonies which Eusebius tells us are quoted there from the first Letter of Peter appear in great number; and frequent admonitions, with clarity and simplicity of speech after the ecclesiastical manner of interpretation (in which Photius declares that it abounds), present and show themselves everywhere: so that hardly anything more could be wished for its full recognition. » So he. In the Latin codex of Master Alexandre Petau, however, the whole Letter ends thus: « Farewell in the Lord Jesus Christ, and His grace be with you all. » THE SAME.
