The rule of life for a perfect person is to be in the image and likeness of God.
Clement of AlexandriaJust as God's will is creation and is called 'the world' so His intention is the salvation of men, and it is called 'the Church.'
Clement of AlexandriaWhen lies have been accepted for some time, the truth always astounds with an air of novelty.
Clement of AlexandriaIf in this life there are so many ways for purification and repentance, how much more should there be after death! The purification of souls, when separated from the body, will be easier. We can set no limits to the agency of the Redeemer; to redeem, to rescue, to discipline, is his work, and so will he continue to operate after this life.
Clement of Alexandria
