The First Book of Clement
1Clem
[1]These thynges haue I sayde vnto you, because ye shoulde not be offended [No book]
[2]They shall excomunitate you: yea the time shall come, that who so euer kylleth you, wyll thynke that he doth God seruice [No book]
[3]And such thynges wyll they do vnto you, because they haue not knowen the father, neither yet me [No book]
[4]But these thynges haue I tolde you, that when the tyme is come, ye may remeber then that I tolde you. These thynges sayde I not vnto you at the begynnyng, because I was present with you [No book]
[5]But nowe I go my waye, to hym that sent me, & none of you asketh me, whyther goest thou [No book]
[6]But because I haue saide such thinges vnto you, your heartes are ful of sorow [No book]
[7]Neuerthelesse, I tell you the trueth, it is expedient for you that I go away. For yf I go not away, that comforter wyll not come vnto you: But yf I depart, I wyll sende hym vnto you [No book]
[8]And whe he is come, he wyll rebuke the world of sinne, and of righteousnes, and of iudgement [No book]
[9]Of sinne, because they beleue not on me [No book]
[10]Of righteousnes, because I go to my father, and ye shall see me no more [No book]
[11]Of iudgement, because the prince of this worlde is iudged [alredy. [No book]
[12]I haue yet many thynges to say vnto you, but ye can not beare them away nowe [No book]
[13]Howebeit, when he is come, whiche is the spirite of trueth, he wyl leade you into all trueth. He shall not speake of himselfe: but whatsoeuer he shal heare, that shall he speake, and he wyll shewe you thynges to come [No book]
[14]He shall glorifie me: For he shall receaue of mine, and shal shewe vnto you [No book]
[15]All thynges that the father hath, are mine: Therfore sayde I [vnto you] that he shall take of mine, & shew vnto you [No book]
[16]After a whyle, and ye shall not see me, and agayne after a whyle ye shall see me: for I go to the father [No book]
[17]Then sayde some of his disciples betwene them selues: What is this that he saith vnto vs, after a whyle, & ye shal not see me, and againe, after a whyle ye shal see me: and, that I go to the father [No book]
[18]They sayde therefore: What is this that he saith, after a whyle? we can not tell what he saith [No book]
[19]Iesus perceaued that they would aske hym, and sayde vnto them: Do ye enquire among your selues of that I said after a whyle, and, ye shall not see me, & againe, after a while & ye shall see me [No book]
[20]Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, ye shall wepe and lament, the worlde shall reioyce: ye shall sorowe, but your sorowe shalbe turned to ioy [No book]
[21]A woman, when she trauayleth, hath sorowe, because her houre is come: but assoone as she is deliuered of the childe, she remembreth no more the anguishe, for ioy that a man is borne into ye world [No book]
[22]And ye nowe therefore haue sorowe: but I wyll see you agayne, and your heartes shall reioyce, and your ioy shall no man take from you [No book]
[23]And in that day shall ye aske me no question. Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, whatsoeuer ye shal aske the father in my name, he wyll geue it you [No book]
[24]Hytherto haue ye asked nothyng in my name: Aske, & ye shall receaue, that your ioy may be full [No book]
[25]These thynges haue I spoken vnto you by prouerbes. The tyme wyl come, when I shall no more speake vnto you by prouerbes: but I shall shewe you playnely of my father [No book]
[26]At that day shall ye aske in my name: And I say not vnto you, that I wyll pray vnto my father for you [No book]
[27]For the father hym selfe loueth you, because ye haue loued me, and haue beleued that I came out from God [No book]
[28]I went out from the father, and came into the worlde: Agayne, I leaue the worlde, and go to the father [No book]
[29]His disciples sayde vnto hym: Lo, nowe talkest thou plainely, and speakest no prouerbe [No book]
[30]Nowe are we sure that thou knowest all thynges, & nedest not, that any man shoulde aske thee [any question:] Therfore beleue we, that thou camest from God [No book]
[31]Iesus aunswered them: Do ye nowe beleue [No book]
[32]Beholde, the houre draweth nye, and is alredy come, that ye shalbe scattered euery man to his owne, and shall leaue me alone. And yet am I not alone: For the father is with me [No book]
[33]These wordes haue I spoken vnto you, that in me ye myght haue peace. For in the worlde shall ye haue tribulation: but be of good cheare, I haue ouercome the worlde [No book]
