Clement of Rome, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. VII, Two Epistles Concerning Virginity… (1885)
“ For, if a man be only in name called holy, he is not holy; but he must be holy in everything: in his body and in his spirit. And those who are virgins rejoice at all times in becoming like God and His Christ, and are imitators of them. ”
Clement of Rome, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. VII, Two Epistles Concerning Virginity… (1885)
“ Every man with whom are these and such like things—every such man is of the flesh. For, “he that is born of the flesh is flesh; and he that is of the earth speaketh of the earth,” [15] and his thoughts are of the earth. And “the mind of the flesh is enmity towards God. ”
