The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
[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.
[70] Isa. liii. The reader will observe how often the text of the Septuagint, here quoted, differs from the Hebrew as represented by our authorized English version.
Chapter XVII.—The saints as examples of humility.
