Introductory Notice to the Homily Known as the Second Epistle of Clement.
[3880] [A defect in A was thus supplied, but “these” is now accepted; so C, S.—R.]
[3881] Some read “God.” [“Him” is correct.—R.]
[3882] Or, “with Me.” [This is the more exact rendering of μετ' ἐμου̑.—R.]
[3883] The first part of this sentence is not found in Scripture; for the second, comp. Matt. vii. 23, Luke xiii. 27. [The first part is not even identified as a citation from an apocryphal book.—R.]
Chap. v.—this world should be despised.
[3885] No such conversation is recorded in Scripture. [Comp. note 13.—R.]
[3886] Or, “Let not the lambs fear.”
[3887] Matt. x. 28; Luke xii. 4, 5.
[3888] Or, “know.”
[3889] The text and translation are here doubtful. [All doubt has been removed; the above rendering is substantially correct.—R.]
[3890] [More exactly, “the righteous path,” τη̑ς ὁδοῦ τη̑ς δικαίας.—R.]
Chap. vi.—the present and future worlds are enemies to each other.
[3891] Matt. vi. 24; Luke xvi. 13.
[3892] Matt. xvi. 26. [The citation is not exactly according to any evangelist. Literally, “For what advantage is it, if any one gain the whole (Comits ‘whole’) world, but forfeit his life,” or “soul.”—R.]
[3893] Literally, “speaks of.” [So Lightfoot.—R].
[3894] Or, “enjoy.” [Lightfoot: “but must bid farewell to the one and hold companionship with the other;” thus preserving the correspondence with the preceding sentence.—R.]
[3895] The ms. has, “we reckon.” [So C and S, but Lightfoot retains the subjunctive.—R.]
[3897] [Literally, “But if even such righteous men.”—R.]
[3898] Literally, “with what confidence shall we.”
[3899] Wake translates “kingdom,” as if the reading had been βασιλείαν; but the ms. has βασίλειον, “palace.” [Lightfoot gives the former rendering, though accepting βασίλειον.—R.]
[3900] [Literally, “holy and righteous works.”—R.]
Chap. vii.—we must strive in order to be crowned.
