The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
[169] Comp. Ps. 139:15.
Chapter XXXIX.—There is no reason for self-conceit.
[170] Literally, “and silly and uninstructed.”
[171] Literally, “a breath.”
[172] Or, “has perceived.”
[173] Some render, “they perished at the gates.”
[174] Job iv. 16-18, Job xv. 15, Job iv. 19-21, Job v. 1-5.
Chapter XL.—Let us preserve in the Church the order appointed by God.
[175] Some join κατά καιροὺς τεταγμένους, “at stated times.” to the next sentence. [1 Cor. xvi. 1, 2.]
[176] Literally, “to His will.” [Comp. Rom. xv. 15, 16, Greek.]
Chapter XLI.—Continuation of the same subject.
[177] Or, “consider.” [This chapter has been cited to prove the earlier date for this Epistle. But the reference to Jerusalem may be an ideal present.]
Chapter XLII.—The order of ministers in the Church.
[178] Or, “by the command of.”
[179] Or, “by the command of.”
[180] Literally, “both things were done.”
[181] Or, “confirmed by.”
[182] Or, “having tested them in spirit.”
[183] Or, “overseers.”
[184] Or, “servants.”
[185] Isa. lx. 17, Sept.; but the text is here altered by Clement. The LXX. have “I will give thy rulers in peace, and thy overseers in righteousness.”
Chapter XLIII.—Moses of old stilled the contention which arose concerning the priestly dignity.
[186] Num. xii. 7; Heb. iii. 5.
[187] Literally, “every tribe being written according to its name.”
[188] See Num. xvii.
[189] Literally, “on account of the title of the oversight.” Some understand this to mean, “in regard to the dignity of the episcopate;” and others simply, “on account of the oversight.”
