The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians

[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.”

[128] Gen. xxii.

[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.

Chapter XXXIII.—But let us not give up the practice of good works and love. God Himself is an example to us of good works.

[134] Or, “commandment.”

[135] Or, “in addition to all.”

[136] Gen. i. 26, 27.

[137] Gen. i. 28.

[138] Or, “let us consider.”

Chapter XXXIV.—Great is the reward of good works with God. Joined together in harmony, let us implore that reward from Him.

[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.

[142] Dan. vii. 10.

[143] Isa. vi. 3.

[144] 1 Cor. ii. 9.

Chapter XXXV.—Immense is this reward. How shall we obtain it?
