Various, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. IX, The Epistles of Clement… (1885)
“ Let our whole body, then, be preserved in Christ Jesus; [1] and let every one be subject to his neighbour, according to the special gift [2] bestowed upon him. Let the strong not despise [3] the weak, and let the weak show respect unto the strong. Let the rich man provide for the wants of the poor; and let the poor man bless God, because He hath given him one by whom his need may be supplied. Let the wise man display his wisdom, not by [mere] words, but through good deeds. Let the humble not bear testimony to himself, but leave witness to be borne to him by another. ”
