The Second Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians

Let us then repent with our whole heart, that[*](Exhortation to repentance) none of us perish by the way. For if we have commandments to do this also, to tear men away from idols and to instruct them, how much more is it our duty to save from perishing a soul that already knows God?

Let us then help one another, and bring back those that are weak in goodness, that we may all be saved, and convert and exhort one another.

And let us not merely seem to believe[*](Not merely during the exhortation of the Elders) and pay attention now, while we are being exhorted by the Elders, but also when we have gone home let us remember the commandments of the Lord, and let us not be dragged aside by worldly lusts, but let us try to come here more frequently, and to make progress in the commands of the Lord; that wre may all have the same mind and be gathered together unto life.

For the Lord said: I come to gather together all the nations, tribes, and languages. Now by this he means the day of his appearing.[*](Warning of the Judgment) when he will come and ransom each of us according to his works.
