1 Clem. 9

First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians · Saint Clement of Rome

Wherefore let us be obedient unto His excellent and glorious will; and presenting ourselves as suppliants of His mercy and goodness, let us fall down before Him and betake ourselves unto His compassions, forsaking the vain toil and the strife and the jealousy which leadeth unto death.

1Clem 9.1

Let us fix our eyes on them that ministered perfectly unto His excellent glory.

1Clem 9.2

Let us set before us Enoch, who being found righteous in obedience was translated, and his death was not found.

1Clem 9.3

Noah, being found faithful, by his ministration preached regeneration unto the world, and through him the Master saved the living creatures that entered into the ark in concord.
