9 The Greek is here totally^ unintelligible: it seems impossible either to punctuate or construe it. We m.ay attempt to represent it as follows: " The doctrines of the Lord, then, are three: Life, Faith, and Hope, our beginning and end: and Righteousness, the beginning and the end of judgment; Love and Joy and the Testimony of glad- ness for works of righteousness." We have followed the ancient Latin text, which Hilgenfeld also adopts, though Weitzacker and others prefer the Greek.
