The First Book of Clement
1Clem
[1]And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. [No book]
[2]I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. [No book]
[3]For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? [No book]
[4]For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal? [No book]
[5]Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? [No book]
[6]I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. [No book]
[7]So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. [No book]
[8]Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. [No book]
[9]For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. [No book]
[10]According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. [No book]
[11]For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. [No book]
[12]Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; [No book]
[13]Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. [No book]
[14]If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. [No book]
[15]If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. [No book]
[16]Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? [No book]
[17]If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. [No book]
[18]Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. [No book]
[19]For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. [No book]
[20]And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. [No book]
[21]Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's; [No book]
[22]Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's; [No book]
[23]And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's. [No book]
