The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians

Let a man be faithful, let him have power to utter Knowledge,[*](Knowledge is hero no doubt used in the almost technical sense of secret knowledge, conveying power, and specially revealed, approaching closely to the meaning which it had in the various Gnostic systems and in the Mystery religions.) let him be wise in the discernment of arguments, let him be pure in his deeds;

for the more he seems to be great, the more ought he to be humble-minded, and to seek the common good of all and not his own benefit.

Let him who has love in Christ perform the[*](Panegyric on love) commandments of Christ.

Who is able to explain the bond of the love of God?

Who is sufficient to tell the greatness of its beauty?
