The First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians

But if some be disobedient to the words which[*](Warnings to the dissidents) have been spoken by him through us, let them know that they will entangle themselves in transgression and no little danger;

but we shall be innocent of this sin, and will pray with eager entreaty and supplication that the Creator of the Universe may guard unhurt the number of his elect that has been numbered in all the world through his beloved child Jesus Christ, through whom he called us from darkness to light, from ignorance to the full knowledge of the glory of his name.
