The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
[2] In the only known ms. of this Epistle, the title is thus given at the close.
Chapter I.—The salutation. Praise of the Corinthians before the breaking forth of schism among them.
[3] [Note the fact that the Corinthians asked this of their brethren, the personal friends of their apostle St. Paul. Clement’s own name does not appear in this Epistle.]
[4] Literally, “is greatly blasphemed.”
[5] Literally, “did not prove your all-virtuous and firm faith.”
Chapter II.—Praise of the Corinthians continued.
[8] Literally, “ye embraced it in your bowels.” [Concerning the complaints of Photius (ninth century) against Clement, see Bull’s Defensio Fidei Nicænæ, Works, vol. v. p. 132.]
[10] 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.”
[13] Literally, “enlargement”
