1 Clem. 52

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

The Master, brethren, hath need of nothing at all. He desireth not anything of any man, save to confess unto Him.

1Clem 52.1

For the elect David saith; I will confess unto the Lord, and it shall please Him more than a young calf that groweth horns and hoofs. Let the poor see it, and rejoice.

1Clem 52.2

And again He saith; Sacrifice to God a sacrifice of praise, and pay thy vows to the Most High: and call upon Me in the day of thine affliction, and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me.

1Clem 52.3

For a sacrifice unto God is a broken spirit.

1Clem 52.4
