The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
[121] Some translate, “youthful lusts.”
[122] Prov. iii. 34; Jas. iv. 6; 1 Pet. v. 5.
[123] Job xi. 2, 3. The translation is doubtful. [But see Septuagint.]
Chapter XXXI.—Let us see by what means we may obtain the divine blessing.
[124] Literally, “what are the ways of His blessing.”
[125] Literally, “unroll.”
[126] Comp. Jas. ii. 21.
[127] Some translate, “knowing what was to come.”
[129] So Jacobson: Wotton reads, “fleeing from his brother.”
Chapter XXXII.—We are justified not by our own works, but by faith.
[130] The meaning is here very doubtful. Some translate, “the gifts which were given to Jacob by Him,” i.e., God.
[131] MS. αὐτῶν, referring to the gifts: we have followed the emendation αὐτοῦ, adopted by most editors. Some refer the word to God, and not Jacob.
[132] Comp. Rom. ix. 5.
[133] Gen. xxii. 17, Gen. xxviii. 4.
[134] Or, “commandment.”
[135] Or, “in addition to all.”
[138] Or, “let us consider.”
[139] Or, “labourer.”
[140] Isa. xl. 10, Isa. lxii. 11; Rev. xxii. 12.
[141] The text here seems to be corrupt. Some translate, “He warns us with all His heart to this end, that,” etc.
