The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
[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.”
[190] The meaning of this passage is much controverted. Some render, “left a list of other approved persons;” while others translate the unusual word ἐπινομή, which causes the difficulty, by “testamentary direction,” and many others deem the text corrupt. We have given what seems the simplest version of the text as it stands. [Comp. the versions of Wake, Chevallier, and others.]
[191] i.e., the apostles.
[192] Or, “oversight.”
[193] Literally, “presented the offerings.”

[194] Or, “Ye perceive.”
[195] Or, “For.”
[198] Literally, “worshipped.”
[199] Literally, “serve.”
[200] Or, “lifted up.”
Chapter XLVI.—Let us cleave to the righteous: your strife is pernicious.
[201] Literally, “To such examples it is right that we should cleave.”
[202] Not found in Scripture.
[203] Literally, “be.”
[204] Or, “thou wilt overthrow.”
[206] Or, “war.” Comp. Jas. iv. 1.
