nces, of which St. Paul was probably informed by Priscilla and Aquila. [11] This seems to follow from Philo's statement that they did not make animal sacrifices: and from Josephus' description of their way of life as Pythagorean. [12] Cf. 1 Cor. viii. 10. [13] Gal. iv. 10; cf. Col. ii. 16, 17: 'Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day: which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.' [14] Or _for decisions of doubts_, marg. This, or something like this, is the right meaning; cf. Hebr. v. 14: 'for decision between good and evil.' 1 Cor. xii. 10: 'discernings of spirits,' i.e. decisions as to their true character. [15] From Isa. xlv. 33. [16] Cf. Ephes. pp. 271 f. [17] See app. note H, p. 239. [18] Gal. i. 8. [19] 1 Cor. xv. 12, 13. [20] 1 Cor. v. 6 [21] Cf. Ephes. p. 126. [22] 1 Cor. xi. 16. [23] Gal. v. 2. [24] Phil. iii. 15, 16. [25] _Unity in Diversity_, by Charles Bigg, D.D. (Longmans, 1899), pp. 84, 85, 95. [26] 'Whatever is not of faith is sin--that is whatever is against conscience.' Aquinas, quoted in _S. and H. in loc._ [27] Cf. xii. 6: 'Let us prophesy according to the proportion of our faith.' [28] Col. ii. 16: 'Let no man judge you in respect of a sabbath day.' [29] This is probably implied in Acts xx. 7. [30] 1 Cor. xvi. 1. [31] _Philippians_, on 'the Christian Ministry,' p. 181. The language in the immediate context I cannot make my own. But the statement quoted is surely true. And to this day I suppose, for those living in religious communities and similar institutions, there is very little practical difference between Sundays and week-days. This almost complete absence of distinction, however, must always come about, if it is to be legitimate, by raising the week-days to the spiritual level of the Sundays, and not by the opposite process. [32] Especially in the Pastoral Epistles: but also in the epistles to the Thessalonians and Corinthians. [33] 1 Cor. viii. 13. [34] Cf. 1 Cor. x. 30: 'Why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks.' 1 Tim. iv. 3, 4: 'Meats, which God created to be received with thanksgiving.... For every creature of God is good ... if it be received with thanksgiving: for it is sanctified through the word of God and prayer. Cf. Acts xxvii. 35: 'And when he had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all:
