Codex: Clement of Rome
Book: Second Clement
4:1 Let us therefore not only call Him Lord, for this will not save us:
4:2 for He saith, Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, shall be saved, but he that doeth righteousness.
4:3 So then, brethren, let us confess Him in our works, by loving one another, by not committing adultery nor speaking evil one against another nor envying, but being temperate, merciful, kindly. And we ought to have fellow-feeling one with another and not to be covetous. By these works let us confess Him, and not by the contrary.
4:4 And we ought not rather to fear men but God.
4:5 For this cause, if ye do these things, the Lord said, Though ye be gathered together with Me in My bosom, and do not My commandments, I will cast you away and will say unto you, Depart from Me, I know you not whence ye are, ye workers of iniquity.
