1 Clem. 28

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

Since therefore all things are seen and heard, let us fear Him and forsake the abominable lusts of evil works, that we maybe shielded by His mercy from the coming judgments.

1Clem 28.1

For where can any of us escape from His strong hand? And what world will receive any of them that desert from His service?

1Clem 28.2

For the holy writing saith in a certain place Where shall I go, and where shall I be hidden from Thy face? If I ascend into the heaven, Thou art there; if I depart into the farthest parts of the earth, there is Thy right hand; if I make my bed in the depths, there is Thy Spirit.

1Clem 28.3

Whither then shall one depart, or where shall one flee, from Him that embraceth the universe?
