early_church_fathers@2Clement:10:1 <2CLEMENT>@ Wherefore, my brethren, let us do the will of the Father which called us, that we may live; and let us the rather pursue virtue, but forsake vice as the forerunner of our sins, and let us flee from ungodliness, lest evils overtake us.
early_church_fathers@2Clement:10:3 <2CLEMENT>@ For this cause is a man unable to *attain happiness*, seeing that they call in the fears of men, preferring rather the enjoyment which is here than the promise which is to come.
early_church_fathers@2Clement:10:4 <2CLEMENT>@ For they know not how great torment the enjoyment which is here bringeth, and what delight the promise which is to come bringeth.
early_church_fathers@2Clement:10:5 <2CLEMENT>@ And if verily they were doing these things by themselves alone, it had been tolerable: but now they continue teaching evil to innocent souls, not knowing that they shall have their condemnation doubled, both themselves and their hearers.
