21.  Since then we have the prophecies, let faith abide with us.  Let them fall who fall through unbelief, since they so will; but thou hast taken thy stand on the rock of the faith in the Resurrection.  Let no heretic ever persuade thee to speak evil of the Resurrection.  For to this day the Manichees say, that, the resurrection of the Saviour was phantom-wise, and not real, not heeding Paul who says, Who was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; and again, By the resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord from the dead Rom. i. 3, 4.  Cyril in his incomplete quotation of v. 4 makes ᾽Ιησοῦ Χριστοῦ τοῦ Κ. ἡμ. depend on ἀναστάσεως.  The right order and construction is given in R.V. who was declared to be the Son of God.…by the resurrection of the dead; even Jesus Christ our Lord..  And again he aims at them, and speaks thus, Say not in thine heart, who shall ascend into heaven; or who shall descend into the deep? that is, to bring up Christ from the dead Rom. x. 6, 7.; and in like manner warning as he has elsewhere written again, Remember Jesus Christ raised from the dead 2 Tim. ii. 8.; and again, And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith also vain.  Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He raised not up 1 Cor. xv. 14, 15..  But in what follows he says, But now is Christ risen from the dead, the first fruits of them that are asleep Ib. v. 20.;—And He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve; (for if thou believe not the one witness, thou hast twelve witnesses;) then He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once Ib. 5, 6.; (if they disbelieve the twelve, let them admit the five hundred;) after that He was seen of James Ib. 7.  This appearance of Christ to James is not mentioned in the Gospels.  Jerome (Catalog. Script. Eccles. p. 170 D) mentions a tradition that James had taken an oath that he would eat no bread from the hour in which he had drunk the Cup of the Lord, until he should see Him rising from the dead.  Wherefore the Saviour immediately after He had risen appeared to James and commanded him to eat., His own brother, and first Bishop of this diocese.  Seeing then that such a Bishop originally For τοιούτου τοίνυν ἐπισκόπου πρωτοτύπως ἰδόντος Codd. Roe, Casaub. have τοῦ τοίνυν πρωτοτύπου ἐπισκόπου ἰδόντος, which gives the better sense—“since therefore the primary Bishop saw, &c.”  On the meaning of παροικία, and the extent of a primitive Diocese, see Bingham. IX. c. 2. saw Christ Jesus when risen, do not thou, his disciple, disbelieve him.  But thou sayest that His brother James was a partial witness; afterwards He was seen also of me 1 Cor. xv. 8. Paul, His enemy; and what testimony is doubted, when an enemy proclaims it?  “I, who was before a persecutor 1 Tim. i. 13., now preach the glad tidings of the Resurrection.”
