Various, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. IX, The Epistles of Clement… (1885)
“ For the Lord saith, “Ye shall be as lambs in the midst of wolves.” [1] And Peter answered and said unto Him, [2] “What, then, if the wolves shall tear in pieces the lambs?” Jesus said unto Peter, “The lambs have no cause after they are dead to fear [3] the wolves; and in like manner, fear not ye them that kill you, and can do nothing more unto you; but fear Him who, after you are dead, has power over both soul and body to cast them into hell-fire.” ”
