Codex: Clement of Rome
Book: First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians
37:1 Let us therefore enlist ourselves, brethren, with all earnestness in His faultless ordinances.
37:2 Let us mark the soldiers that are enlisted under our rulers, how exactly, how readily, how submissively, they execute the orders given them.
37:3 All are not prefects, nor rulers of thousands, nor rulers of hundreds, nor rulers of fifties, and so forth; but each man in his own rank executeth the orders given by the king and the governors.
37:4 The great without the small cannot exist, neither the small without the great. There is a certain mixture in all things, and therein is utility.
37:5 Let us take our body as an example. The head without the feet is nothing; so likewise the feet without the head are nothing: even the smallest limbs of our body are necessary and useful for the whole body: but all the members conspire and unite in subjection, that the whole body maybe saved.
