The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians.
[3998] According to I, the title is “Clement’s (Epistle) to the Corinthians.” A includes in a Table of Contents of the New Testament after the Apocalypse:
“Clement’s Epistle I.”
“Clement’s Epistle II.”
The space for the title for the 1st Epistle is mutilated, and we find only “.…Corinthians I.;” the 2d Epistle has no title.
On the authority of Eusebius, Jerome, Georgius Syncellus, the earlier editions give the titles, “First Epistle of Saint Clement, Bishop of Rome, to the Corinthians, written in name of the Church of Rome,” “Second Epistle of Saint Clement, Bishop of Rome, to the Corinthians.”
Chapter I.—The Salutation. Praise of the Corinthians Before the Breaking Forth of Schism Among Them.
[3999] I, περιστάσεις (critical experiences).
[4000] Literally “is greatly blasphemed.”
[4001] Literally, “did not prove your all-virtuous and firm faith.”
Chapter II.—Praise of the Corinthians Continued.
[4002] Eph. v. 21; 1 Pet. v. 5.
[4004] I. Χρῖστοῦ (Christ). In the monophysite controversy, the theologians of Alexandria preferred to call the Lord “God” rather than “Christ.”
[4005] Literally, “ye embraced it in your bowels.”
[4007] I. δέους (fear).
[4008] So in the ms., but many have suspected that the text is here corrupt. Perhaps the best emendation is that which substitutes συναισθήσεως “compassion,” for συνειδήσεως “conscience.”
[4011] Literally, “enlargement.”
[4013] It seems necessary to refer αὐτοῦ to God, in opposition to the translation given by Abp. Wake and others.
[4014] Literally, “Christ;” comp. 2 Cor. i. 21; Eph. iv. 20.
[4015] Wisd. ii. 24.
Chapter IV.—Many Evils Have Already Flowed from This Source in Ancient Times.
