Introductory Notice to the Homily Known as the Second Epistle of Clement.
[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.
[3901] [ἀγωνισωμεθα, “let us strive,” as in the games.—R.]
[3902] Literally, “that many set sail for corruptible contests,” referring probably to the concourse at the Isthmian games.
[3903] Or, “Let us place before us.” [The latter rendering is that of the reading found in A and C, and now accepted by many editors (θω̑μεν); but Lightfoot adheres to θέωμεν (so S), and holds the former reading to be a corruption.—R.]
[3904] Or, “set sail.”
[3905] Literally, “know.”
[3906] Literally “if he be found corrupting.”
[3907] Baptism is probably meant. [See Eph. i. 13 and Acts xix. 6.]
[3908] [Or, “He saith;” “unbroken” is not necessary.—R.]
