Codex: Clement of Rome
Book: Second Clement
9:1 And let not any one of you say that this flesh is not judged neither riseth again.
9:2 Understand ye. In what were ye saved? In what did ye recover your sight? if ye were not in this flesh.
9:3 We ought therefore to guard the flesh as a temple of God:
9:4 for in like manner as ye were called in the flesh, ye shall come also in the flesh.
9:5 If Christ the Lord who saved us, being first spirit, then became flesh, and so called us, in like manner also shall we in this flesh receive our reward.
9:6 Let us therefore love one another, that we all may come unto the kingdom of God.
9:7 While we have time to be healed, let us place ourselves in the hands of God the physician, giving Him a recompense.
9:8 What recompense? Repentance from a sincere heart.
9:9 For He discerneth all things beforehand and knoweth what is in our heart.
9:10 Let us therefore give unto Him eternal praise, not from our lips only, but also from our heart, that He may receive us as sons.
9:11 For the Lord also said, These are my brethren, which do the will of My Father.
