1 Clement 59

Letter to the Corinthians

If, however, some disobey the words spoken by him through us, let them know that they will be involved in transgression and no small danger.

2But we shall be innocent of this sin and will ask with diligent supplication and insistence that the Creator of all things keep inviolable the counted number of his elect in all the world.

3Through his beloved Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, by whom he called us from darkness to light, from ignorance to the knowledge of the glory of his name.

4To hope in your name, which is the origin of all creation.
