Summary

Portrait of Philip Schaff Philip Schaff Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. VIII, Pseudo-Clementine Literature… (1885)

Taking occasion by what had happened to our mother, he showed us how the results of chastity are good, while those of adultery are disastrous, and naturally bring destruction on the whole race, if not speedily, at all events slowly. [1] “And to such an extent,” he says, “do deeds of chastity please God, that in this life He bestows some small favour on account of it, even on those who are in error; for salvation in the other world is granted only to those who have been baptized on account of their trust [2] in Him, and who act chastely and righteously.
