1 Clement
Chapter 54
- 1 Who then among you is noble, who is compassionate, who is filled with love?
- 2 Let him cry: “If sedition and strife and divisions have arisen on my account, I will depart, I will go away whithersoever you will, and I will obey the commands of the people; only let the flock of Christ have peace with the presbyters set over it.”
- 3 He who does this will win for himself great glory in Christ, and every place will receive him, for “the earth is the Lord s, and the fullness of it.”
- 4 This has been in the past, and will be in the future, the conduct of those who live without regrets as citizens in the city of God.
