Introductory Note to Clement of Alexandria
[1011] [He seems to be thinking of 1 Tim. vi. 6, and 1 Tim. iv. 8.]
[1012] Iliad, v. 128.
[1015] [Eph. v. 14, is probably from a hymn of the Church, which is here referred to as His, as it is adopted into Scripture.]
[1018] [A quotation from another hymn, in all probability.]
[1019] Aratus.
[1020] Heb. viii. 10-12; Jer. xxxi. 33, 34.
[1021] Il., vi. 236. [The exchange of Glaucus.]
Chapter XII.—Exhortation to Abandon Their Old Errors and Listen to the Instructions of Christ.
[1024] Odyss., xii. 219.
[1025] Odyss., xii. 184.
[1027] Eurip., Bacch., 918.
[1028] [Here are references to baptism and the Eucharist, and to the Trisagion, “Therefore with angels and archangels,” which was universally diffused in the Christian Church. Bunsen, Hippol., iii. 63.]
[1030] [“Who is this that cometh from Edom,” seems to be in mind. Isa. lxiii. 1.]
[1031] Clement here draws a distinction, frequently made by early Christian writers, between the image and the likeness of God. Man never loses the image of God; but as the likeness consists in moral resemblance, he may lose it, and he recovers it only when he becomes righteous, holy, and wise.
