Tertullian later wrote: “Consider those who with greedy thirst, at a show in the arena, take the fresh blood of wicked criminals . . . and carry it off to heal their epilepsy.”
Tertullianus het later geskryf: “Beskou diegene wat, by ’n vertoning in die arena, met ’n gulsige dors die vars bloed van bose misdadigers neem . . . en dit wegdra om hulle epilepsie te genees.”

Tertullian’s most famous work is Apology, considered to be one of the most powerful literary defenses of nominal Christianity.
Tertullianus se beroemdste werk is Apologie, en dit word as een van die kragtigste literêre verdedigings van die sogenaamde Christelike godsdiens beskou.

As noted by Henry Chadwick, Tertullian proposed that God is ‘one substance consisting in three persons.’ 25 This does not mean, however, that he had in mind three coequal and coeternal persons.
Soos Henry Chadwick gesê het, het Tertullianus aangevoer dat God ‘een wese is wat uit drie persone bestaan’.25 Dit beteken egter nie dat hy drie gelyke en mede-ewige persone in gedagte gehad het nie.

The letter is quoted as from Paul by such early Bible commentators as Ignatius, Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Clement of Alexandria.
Vroeë Bybelkommentators soos Ignatius, Ireneus, Tertullianus en Clemens van Alexandrië haal die brief aan as een wat deur Paulus geskryf is.

A Dictionary of the Bible, edited by James Hastings, states: “Tertullian, Irenæus, and Hippolytus still look for a speedy Advent [of Jesus Christ]; but with the Alexandrine Fathers we enter a new circle of thought. . . .
A Dictionary of the Bible, onder redaksie van James Hastings, sê: “Tertullianus, Ireneus en Hippolitus verwag nog steeds ’n spoedige Koms [van Jesus Christus]; maar met die Aleksandrynse Vaders begin ’n nuwe denkrigting. . . .

* Tertullian also considered it to be authentic.
* Ook Tertullianus het dit as eg beskou.

Tertullian, the renowned church theologian and apologist, was born in Carthage in about 155 C.E.
Tertullianus, die beroemde teoloog en apologeet, is om en by 155 G.J. in Kartago gebore.

In his famous work Apology, the second-century writer Tertullian quoted others who said of Christians: ‘See how they love one another; how they are ready even to die for one another.’
In sy welbekende werk Apologie het die tweede-eeuse skrywer Tertullianus ander aangehaal wat van die Christene gesê het: ‘Kyk hoe lief het hulle mekaar en hoe bereid is hulle om selfs vir mekaar te sterf.’

In fact, the third-century writer Tertullian, in his work De spectaculis, defined what went on in the arena as ‘rubbish’ and emphasized that the arena was ‘completely foreign’ to Christians.”
Trouens, die derde-eeuse skrywer Tertullianus het in sy werk De spectaculis die dinge wat in die arena gebeur het as ‘gemors’ beskryf en beklemtoon dat die arena ‘heeltemal vreemd’ vir Christene was.”

Tertullian (writer of the second and third centuries C.E.) told of the kindness that they showed toward orphans, the poor, and the elderly.
Tertullianus (’n skrywer van die tweede en derde eeu G.J.) het vertel van die goedhartigheid wat hulle teenoor wese, die armes en die bejaardes betoon het.

Tertullian came to the defense of these Christians and protested the irrational treatment of them.
Tertullianus het hierdie Christene verdedig en beswaar gemaak teen die onredelike behandeling wat hulle moes verduur.

Note the effect that love for God had on early Christians, as shown by Tertullian, of the second century.
Kyk watter uitwerking liefde vir God op vroeë Christene gehad het, soos Tertullianus, wat in die tweede eeu gelewe het, onder ons aandag bring.

Tertullian said of the emperor that “our God has appointed him,” and Athenagoras defended the hereditary nature of the imperial throne, thus getting involved in the politics of the time.
Tertullianus het van die keiser gesê: “Ons God het hom aangestel”, en Atenagoras het die erflikheid van die keiserlike troon verdedig en het dus by die politiek van die dag betrokke geraak.

The Encyclopedia of Religion states: “The early church fathers, including Tertullian and Origen, affirmed that Christians were constrained from taking human life, a principle that prevented them from participating in the Roman army.”
The Encyclopedia of Religion sê: “Die vroeë kerkvaders, met inbegrip van Tertullianus en Origines, het bevestig dat Christene nie toegelaat is om ’n menselewe te neem nie, ’n beginsel wat hulle daarvan weerhou het om by die Romeinse leër aan te sluit.”

In the light of this, the comment by Tertullian regarding meetings held by people who were endeavoring to practice Christianity in his day (c.155–after 220 C.E.) is interesting.
In die lig hiervan is Tertullianus se kommentaar oor vergaderinge wat gehou is deur mense wat in sy dag (ca.155–ná 220 G.J.) die Christelike godsdiens beoefen het interessant.

Those of Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, and Origen are completed from the quotations they made, which reveal how they regarded the writings referred to.
Dié van Ireneus, Clemens van Alexandrië, Tertullianus en Origines is saamgestel aan die hand van die aanhalings wat hulle gemaak het, wat toon wat hul beskouing was van die geskrifte waarna hulle verwys het.

Tertullian, a writer of the second and third centuries C.E., quoted non-Christians as commending Jesus’ followers: ‘See how they love one another and how they are ready to die for one another.’
Tertullianus, ’n skrywer van die tweede en derde eeu G.J., het nie-Christene aangehaal wat Jesus se volgelinge geprys het: ‘Kyk hoe lief het hulle mekaar en hoe gewillig is hulle om vir mekaar te sterf.’

Tertullian (c.
Tertullianus (c.

He was acknowledged as such by Origen and Tertullian.
Origines en Tertullianus het hom as sodanig erken.

Tertullian assigned to him, however, a rank subordinate to the Father . . .
Tertullianus het egter aan hom ’n rang gegee wat ondergeskik aan die Vader is . . .

Then the Latin writer Tertullian in Carthage, North Africa, introduced into his writings the word trinitas, which means “trinity.”
Daarna het die Latynse skrywer Tertullianus in Carthago, Noord-Afrika, die woord trinitas begin gebruik, wat “drie-eenheid” beteken.

Hardy wrote: “Tertullian enumerates many things which were impossible for a conscientious Christian, as involving idolatry: e.g. oath usual at contracts; the illumination of doors at festivals, etc.; all Pagan religious ceremonies; the games and the circus; the profession of teaching secular [heathen classical] literature; military service; public offices.” —Christianity and the Roman Government.
Hardy het geskryf: “Tertullianus noem baie dinge wat ’n pligsgetroue Christen nie kon doen nie omdat afgodediens daarby betrokke was: bv., die eed wat gewoonlik tydens kontrakte afgelê word; die verligting van deure tydens feeste, ens.; alle Heidense godsdienseremonies; die spele en die sirkus; die onderrigberoep in sekulêre [heidens-klassieke] literatuur; militêre diens; regeringsposte.”—Christianity and the Roman Government.

Whereas pagans consumed blood, Tertullian said that Christians “do not even have the blood of animals at [their] meals . . .
Hoewel heidene bloed ingeneem het, het Tertullianus gesê dat Christene “nie eens die bloed van diere by [hulle] maaltye het nie . . .

Although Christians were often accused of disloyalty to the State, Tertullian endeavored to show that they were actually the most trustworthy citizens in the realm.
Hoewel Christene dikwels van ontrouheid teenoor die Staat beskuldig is, het Tertullianus probeer wys dat hulle eintlik die betroubaarste burgers in die ryk was.

No wonder theologian Tertullian complained: “By us, who are strangers to Sabbaths, and new moons and festivals, once acceptable to God, the Saturnalia [and other pagan feasts] are now frequented, gifts are carried to and fro, . . . and sports and banquets are celebrated with uproar.”
Dit is dus nie verbasend dat die teoloog Tertullianus gekla het nie: “Ons, wat nie die Sabbatte en nuwemane en feeste, wat vroeër vir God aanneemlik was, geken het nie, neem nou gereeld deel aan die Saturnalieë [en ander heidense feeste], gee oor en weer geskenke, . . . en vier sportgeleenthede en feesmaaltye met uitbundigheid.”
