Chapter XVI.—Exhortation to Union and to Obedience; Conclusion.

Therefore, we beseech you, our brethren in our Lord

‹ Chapter 15

,

that

these

things

be

observed

with

you

,

as

with

us

,

and

that

we

may

be

of

the

same

mind

,

that

we

may

be

one

in

you

and

ye

may

be

one

in

us

,

and

that

in

everything

we

may

be

of

one

soul

and

one

heart

in

our

Lord

.

Whosoever

knoweth

the

Lord

heareth

us

;

and

every

one

who

is

not

of

God

heareth

not

us

.

He

who

desires

truly

to

keep

sanctity

heareth

us

;

and

the

virgin

who

truly

desires

to

keep

virginity

heareth

us

;

but

she

who

does

not

truly

desire

to

keep

virginity

doth

not

hear

us

.

Finally

,

farewell

in

our

Lord

,

and

rejoice

in

the

Lord

,

all

ye

saints

.

Peace

and

joy

be

with

you

from

God

the

Father

through

Jesus

Christ

our

Lord

.

So

be

it

.

Here endeth the Second Epistle of Clement, the disciple of Peter. His prayer be with us! So be it.
