Epistles of Ignatius
Chapter V.--Their dangerous errors.
Some ignorantly 1 deny Him, or rather have been denied by Him, being the advocates of death rather than of the truth. These persons neither have the prophets persuaded, nor the law of Moses, nor the Gospel even to this day, nor the sufferings we have individually endured. For they think also the same thing regarding us. 2 For what does any one profit me, if he commends me, but blasphemes my Lord, not confessing that He was [truly] possessed of a body? 3 But he who does not acknowledge this, has in fact altogether denied Him, being enveloped in death. 4 I have not, however, thought good to write the names of such persons, inasmuch as they are unbelievers. Yea, far be it from me to make any mention of them, until they repent and return to [a true belief in] Christ's passion, which is our resurrection.

Die sieben Briefe des Ignatius von Antiochien (BKV)
5. Kap. Das Unglück der Doketen.
1. Ihn verleugnen einige aus Unkenntnis, oder besser sie wurden von ihm verleugnet, da sie eher Anwälte des Todes als der Wahrheit sind; diese konnten die Prophezeiungen nicht überzeugen, noch das Gesetz Mosis, ja nicht einmal bis zum heutigen Tage das Evangelium und die Leiden der einzelnen aus uns. 2. Denn auch von uns denken sie ebenso. Was nützt denn ein Mensch mir, wenn er mich zwar lobt, aber meinen Herrn schmäht, indem er nicht zugibt, dass er im Fleische erschienen ist? Wer dies nicht bejaht, hat ihn völlig verleugnet und trägt seine eigene Leiche. 3. Ihre Namen aber, die ungläubigen, glaube ich nicht aufzeichnen zu sollen. Ja ferne sei es von mir, ihrer zu gedenken, bis sie sich bekehrt haben zu dem Leiden, das unsere Auferstehung ist.
