Apocrypha · Chapter 4 of 20

2 Clement 4

Ancient Sermon

Let us not, therefore, call him Lord only, for that will not save us.

2For he says: Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord, shall be saved, but he who does righteousness.

3Therefore, brethren, let us confess him in works, loving one another.

4Not committing adultery, nor slandering one another, nor envying.

5But being continent, merciful, kind.

6And we should have compassion on one another and not be greedy.

7By these works let us confess him and not by the contrary.

8And we should not fear men more than God.
