The Second Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians

He means that day of judgment, when they shall see those who were ungodly among us and perverted the commandments of Jesus Christ.

But the righteous who have done good, and have endured torture, and have hated the indulgences of the soul, when they see how those who have done amiss, and denied Jesus by word or deed, are punished with terrible torture in unquenchable fire, shall give glory to their God, saying, There shall be hope for him who has served God with all his heart.

Let us then also belong to them who give[*](The need of striving) thanks, who have served God, and not to the ungodly who are judged.

For I myself too am altogether sinful, and I have not yet escaped temptation, but I am still in the midst of the devices of the devil, yet I am striving to follow after righteousness, that I may have the strength at least to draw near to it, in fear of the judgment to come.
