ST. CLEMENT OF ROME:
First Epistle to the Corinthians

Translated by Charles H. Hoole, 1885.

CHAPTER 28

28:1 Since, therefore, all things are seen and heard of him, let us fear him and abandon the filthy desires for evil deeds, that we may be sheltered by his mercy from the judgments to come.

28:2 For whither can any of us fly from his mighty hand, and what world shall receive any of them that desert from him?

28:3 For the scripture saith in a certain place, Whither shall I go, and where shall I conceal myself from thy face? If I ascend into heaven, thou art there; if I depart into the uttermost parts of the earth, there is thy right hand; if I shall make my bed in the abyss, there is thy Spirit.

28:4 Whither then shall we depart, and where shall we fly from him that embraceth all things?
