The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
[49] Gen. xxi. 22; Heb. xi. 17.
Chapter XI.—Continuation. Lot.
[50] Gen. xix.; comp. 2 Pet. ii. 6-9.
[51] So Joseph., Antiq., i. 11, 4; Irenæus, Adv. Hær., iv. 31.
[52] Literally, “become a judgment and sign.”
Chapter XII.—The rewards of faith and hospitality. Rahab.
[54] Others of the Fathers adopt the same allegorical interpretation, e.g., Justin Mar., Dial. c. Tryph., n. 111; Irenæus, Adv. Hær., iv. 20. [The whole matter of symbolism under the law must be more thoroughly studied if we would account for such strong language as is here applied to a poetical or rhetorical figure.]
Chapter XIII.—An exhortation to humility.
[55] Jer. ix. 23, 24;1 Cor. i. 31; 2 Cor. x. 17.
[56] Comp.Matt. vi. 12-15, Matt. vii. 2; Luke vi. 36-38.
Chapter XIV.—We should obey God rather than the authors of sedition.
[59] Ps. xxxvii. 35-37. “Remnant” probably refers either to the memory or posterity of the righteous.
Chapter XV.—We must adhere to those who cultivate peace, not to those who merely pretend to do so.
[60] Isa. xxix. 13;Matt. xv. 8; Mark vii. 6.
[64] These words within brackets are not found in the ms., but have been inserted from the Septuagint by most editors.
Chapter XVI.—Christ as an example of humility.
[66] The Latin of Cotelerius, adopted by Hefele and Dressel, translates this clause as follows: “I will set free the wicked on account of His sepulchre, and the rich on account of His death.”
[67] The reading of the ms. is τῆς πληγῆς, “purify, or free, Him from stripes.” We have adopted the emendation of Junius.
[68] Wotton reads, “If He make.”
[69] Or, “fill Him with understanding,” if πλῆσαι should be read instead of πλάσαι, as Grabe suggests.
