1 Clem. 27

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

With this hope therefore let our souls be bound unto Him that is faithful in His promises and that is righteous in His judgments.

1Clem 27.1

He that commanded not to lie, much more shall He Himself not lie: for nothing is impossible with God save to lie.

1Clem 27.2

Therefore let our faith in Him be kindled within us, and let us understand that all things are nigh unto Him.

1Clem 27.3

By a word of His majesty He compacted the universe; and by a word He can destroy it.

1Clem 27.4

Who shall say unto Him, What hast thou done? or who shall resist the might of His strength? When He listeth, and as He listeth, He will do all things; and nothing shall pass away of those things that He hath decreed.

1Clem 27.5

All things are in His sight, and nothing escapeth His counsel,

1Clem 27.6

seeing that The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaimeth His handiwork. Day uttereth word unto day, and night proclaimeth knowledge unto night; and there are neither words nor speeches, whose voices are not heard.

1Clem 27.7
