1 Clement 38

Letter to the Corinthians

Therefore, let all our body be saved in Christ Jesus and let each one be submissive to his neighbor, according to his position that was assigned to him by grace.

2Let the strong care for the weak and let the weak respect the strong. Let the rich provide for the poor, and let the poor thank God because he gave him someone by whom his need was supplied.

3Let the wise show his wisdom not in words, but in good works; let the humble not testify to himself, but leave another to testify to him.

4Let the one who is pure in the flesh not boast, knowing that it is another who grants him his continence.
