§ 2 (1 Tim. vi. 8). τοῖς ἐφοδίοις τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀρκούμενοι.

*§ 2 (Tit. ili. 1). ἕτοιμοι eis wav ἔργον ἀγαθόν.

§ 7 (1 Tim. vi. 12; 2 Tim. iv. 7). ὃ αὐτὸς ἡμῖν ἀγὼν ἐπίκειται.

§ 7 (1 Tim. 11. 3, ν. 4). ἴδωμεν... τὶ προσδεκτὸν ἐνώπιον τοῦ ποιήσαντος ἡμᾶς.

*§ 26 (Tit. 11... 10). αὐτῷ δουλευσάντων ἐν πεποιθήσει πίστεως ἀγαθῆς.

§ 29 (1 Tim. it. 8). προσέλθωμεν οὖν αὐτῷ ἐν ὁσιότητι ψυχῆς, ἁγνὰς καὶ ἀμιάντους χεῖρας αἴροντες πρὸς αὐτόν.

* § 32 (Tit. ili. 5-7). πάντες οὖν ἐδοξάσθησαν... οὐ δι αὐτῶν ἢ τῶν ἔργων αὐτῶν ἢ τῆς δικαιοπραγίας ἧς κατειργάσαντο, ἀλλὰ διὰ τοῦ θελήματος αὐτοῦ.

* § 37 (1 Tim. i. 18. στρατευσώμεθα οὖν. . . ἐν τοῖς ἀμώμοις προστάγμασιν αὐτοῦ.

§ 42 (1 Tim. iti. 10). καθίστανον τὰς ἀπαρχὰς αὐτῶν, δοκιµάσ- αντες τῷ πνεύματι, εἰς ἐπισκόπους καὶ διακόνους.

*§ 45 (2 Tim. i. 3). τῶν ἐν καθαρᾷ συνειδήσει λατρευ- όντων.

§ 47 (1 Tim. vi. 1). ὥστε καὶ βλασφημίας ἐπιφέρεσθαι τῷ ὀνόματι Κυρίου.

§ 55 (2 Tim. it. 1). γυναῖκες ἐνδυναμωθεῖσαι διὰ τῆς χάρι- τος τοῦ Θεοῦ.

§ 55 (1 Tim. 1. 17). Θεὸν τῶν αἰώνων.

8 61 (1 Tim. 1. 17). βασιλεῦ τῶν αἰώνων.

To these we may add, perhaps, the prayer for Kings in §§ 60, 61, in conformity with the direction given in 1 Tim. ii. 2; Tit. iii. 2; and in those places only of the N.T.

On a review of these passages, it must in candour be admitted that those marked with an asterisk seem to be the only ones that suggest a literary dependence on the Pastorals. The others, it may be plausibly maintained, are simply illustrations of that current re- ligious phraseology which the Pastorals themselves reflect. Taken all together, they prove that Clement’s mind was at hoine in the religious world to which the Pastorals belong; but while the present writer believes that Clement was as familiar with these letters as he was with 1 Cor., he cannot affirm such a position to be wholly free from uncertainty.

IGNATIUS (circ. A.D. 110). * Magn. 8 8 (Tit. 1. 14, ΠΠ. 9). μὴ πλανᾶσθε ταῖς ἑτεροδοξίαις μηδὲ μυθεύμασιν τοῖς παλαιοῖς ἀνωφελέσιν οὖσιν: εἰ γὰρ μέχρι νῦν κατὰ ἰουδαϊσμὸν ζῶμεν, ὁμολογοῦμεν χάριν μὴ εἰληφέναι.
