Summary

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

“ So that some are rich as far as their choice goes, though poor in actual wealth, and they are punished because they desire to have more. But one is not unquestionably righteous because he happens to be poor. For he can be a beggar as far as actual wealth is concerned, but he may desire and even do what above everything he ought not to do. Thus he may worship idols, or be a blasphemer or fornicator, or he may live indiscriminately, or perjure himself, or lie, or live the life of an unbeliever. ”
