Chapter XXI.—Conclusion.
It is well, therefore,1717
| 1717 Cod. Sin. omits
“therefore.” | that he who has learned the
judgments of the Lord, as many as have been written, should walk in them.
For he who keepeth these shall be glorified in the kingdom of God; but he
who chooseth other things1718
| 1718 The things condemned in the previous chapter.
| shall be destroyed with his works. On this account there will be
a resurrection,1719
| 1719 Cod.
Sin. has “resurrections,” but is corrected as above.
| on this account a retribution. I beseech you who are superiors,
if you will receive any counsel of my good-will, have among yourselves
those to whom you may show kindness: do not forsake them. For the day is
at hand on which all things shall perish with the evil [one]. The Lord is
near, and His reward. Again, and yet again, I beseech you: be good
lawgivers1720
| 1720 Cod. Sin. has,
“lawgivers of good things.” | to one another;
continue faithful counsellors of one another; take away from among you
all hypocrisy. And may God, who ruleth over all the world, give to you
wisdom, intelligence, understanding, knowledge of His judgments,1721
| 1721 Cod. Sin. omits the
preposition. | with patience. And be ye1722
| 1722 Cod. Sin. omits this. | taught
of God, inquiring diligently what the Lord asks from you; and do it that
ye maybe safe in the day of judgment.1723
| 1723 Cod. Sin. reads, “that ye may be found in the day
of judgment,” which Hilgenfeld adopts. | And if you have
any remembrance of what is good, be mindful of me, meditating on these
things, in order that both my desire and watchfulness may result in some
good. I beseech you, entreating this as a favour. While yet you are in
this fair vessel,1724
| 1724
Literally, “While yet the good vessel is with you,” i.e., as
long as you are in the body. | do not fail in any one of those
things,1725
| 1725 Cod. Sin. reads,
“fail not in any one of yourselves,” which is adopted by
Hilgenfeld. | but unceasingly seek after them, and fulfil every
commandment; for these things are worthy.1726
| 1726 Corrected in Cod. Sin. to, “it is
worthy.” | Wherefore I have been the more earnest to
write to you, as my ability served,1727
| 1727 Cod. Sin. omits this clause, but it is inserted by the
corrector. | that I might cheer you. Farewell, ye children of love
and peace. The Lord of glory and of all grace be with your spirit.
Amen.1728
| 1728 Cod. Sin. omits
“Amen,” and adds at the close, “Epistle of
Barnabas.” | E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
