And in Quis Dives Salvetur:

Quote:
But learn thou the more excellent way, which Paul shows for salvation. "Love seeketh not her own," but is diffused on the brother. About him she is fluttered, about him she is soberly insane. "Love covers a multitude of sins." "Perfect love casteth out fear." "Vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but-rejoiceth in the truth; beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Love never faileth. Prophecies are done away, tongues cease, gifts of healing fail on the earth. But these three abide, Faith, Hope, Love. But the greatest of these is Love." And rightly. For Faith departs when we are convinced by vision, by seeing God. And Hope vanishes when the things hoped for come. But Love comes to completion, and grows more when that which is perfect has been bestowed. If one introduces it into his soul, although he be born in sins, and has done many forbidden things, he is able, by increasing love, and adopting a pure repentance, to retrieve his mistakes. For let not this be left to despondency and despair by you, if you learn who the rich man is that has not a place in heaven, and what way he uses his property. [38]

And again in the story of John at the end of Quis Dives Salvetur:

Quote:
Time passed, and some necessity having emerged, they send again for John. He, when he had settled the other matters on account of which he came, said, "Come now, O bishop, restore to us the deposit which I and the Saviour committed to thee in the face of the Church over which you preside, as witness." The other was at first confounded, thinking that it was a false charge about money which he did not get; and he could neither believe the allegation regarding what he had not, nor disbelieve John. But when he said "I demand the young man, and the soul of the brother," the old man, groaning deeply, and bursting into tears, said, "He is dead." "How and what kind of death?" "He is dead," he said, "to God. For he turned wicked and abandoned, and at last a robber; and now he has taken possession of the mountain in front of the church, along with a band like him." Rending, therefore, his clothes, and striking his head with great lamentation, the apostle said, "It was a fine guard of a brother's soul I left! But let a horse be brought me, and let some one be my guide on the way." He rode away, just as he was, straight from the church. On coming to the place, he is arrested by the robbers' outpost; neither fleeing nor entreating, but crying, "It was for this I came. Lead me to your captain;" who meanwhile was waiting, all armed as he was. But when he recognized John as he advanced, he turned, ashamed, to flight. The other followed with all his might, forgetting his age, crying, "Why, my son, dost thou flee from me, thy father, unarmed, old? Son, pity me. Fear not; thou hast still hope of life. I will give account to Christ for thee. If need be, I will willingly endure thy death, as the Lord did death for us. For thee I will surrender my life. Stand, believe; Christ hath sent me." [52]

In Clement of Alexandria's citation of the Gospel of Mark:

Quote:
And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall leave what is his own, parents, and brethren, and possessions, for My sake and the Gospel's, shall receive an hundred-fold now in this world, lands, and possessions, and house, and brethren, with persecutions; and in the world to come is life everlasting. But many that are first shall be last, and the last first.
Compare our received text:

Quote:
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.”
The emphasis of only receiving 'brothers' in the world to come is not accidental. Clement's explanation of the passage:

Quote:
Jesus, accordingly, does not charge him with not having fulfilled all things out of the law, but loves him, and fondly welcomes his obedience in what he had learned; but says that he is not perfect as respects eternal life, inasmuch as he had not fulfilled what is perfect, and that he is a doer indeed of the law, but idle at the true life. Those things, indeed, are good. Who denies it? For "the commandment is holy," as far as a sort of training with fear and preparatory discipline goes, leading as it did to the culmination of legislation and to grace. But Christ is the fulfilment "of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth;" and not as a slave making slaves, but sons, and brethren, and fellow-heirs, who perform the Father's will.

Here are all the ancient references to Romans 8:29 which seems to be at the heart of the earliest reference to the term 'adelphopoiesis' in Athanasius Against the Arians 2.

Clemens Alexandrinus (4 work(s))

Clemens
Alexandrinus Excerpta e Theodoto (2)
Date: ca.190 - ca.215
Genre: Varia
Theme: Gnosticism
Clavis: 1139
Biblio:
SAGNARD F., SC 23 (1948). 27 § 5 (p.116, l.11) BP1 The priest on entering within the second veil removed the plate at the altar of incense, and entered himself in silence with the Name engraved upon his heart, indicating the laying aside of the body which has become pure like the golden plate and bright through purification. . . the putting away as it were of the soul's body on which was stamped the lustre of piety, by which he was recognized by the Principalities and Powers as, having put on the Name. Now he discards this body, the plate which had become light, within the second veil, that is, in the rational sphere the second complete veil of the universe, at the altar of incense, that is, with the angels who are the ministers of prayers carried aloft. Now the soul, stripped by the power of him who has knowledge, as if it had become a body of the power, passes into the spiritual realm and becomes now truly rational and high priestly, so that it might now be animated, so to speak, directly by the Logos, just as the archangels became the high-priests of the angels, and the First-Created the high- priests of the archangels. But where is there a right judgment of Scripture and doctrine for that soul which has become pure, and where is it granted to see God "face to face"? Thus, having transcended the angelic teaching and the Name taught in Scripture, it comes to the knowledge and comprehension of the facts. It is no longer a bride but has become a Logos and rests with the bridegroom together with the First-Called and First- Created, who are friends by love, sons by instruction and obedi ence, and brothers by community of origin. So that it belonged to the dispensation to wear the plate and to continue the pur suit of knowledge, but the work of power was that man becomes the bearer of God, being controlled directly by the Lord and becoming, as it were, his body.

33 § 1 (p.130, l.6 - *) BP1 Indeed Christ became an adopted son as he became "elect" among the completed beings and "First-Born" of things there. Now this doctrine is a misunderstanding of ours which holds that the Saviour is the first-born from the "underlying reality" and he is,as it were, our root and head, and the Church is his fruits. They say that when Christ fled that which was foreign to him and was drawn into the Pleroma, after he had been be gotten from his mother's thought, the Mother again produced the ruler of the dispensation as a type of him who had deserted her, according to her desire for him, in that he was better, for he was a type of the Father of the universe. Therefore, he was made less, as if he was created from the passion of desire. In deed in view of his harshness, she was disgusted, as they say.

In Exhortation to the Heathens

Quote:
Philosophy, however, as the ancients say, is "a long-lived exhortation, wooing the eternal love of wisdom;" while the commandment of the Lord is far-shining, "enlightening the eyes." Receive Christ, receive sight, receive thy light, "In order that you may know well both God and man."

"Sweet is the Word that gives us light, precious above gold and gems; it is to be desired above honey and the honey-comb."

For how can it be other than desirable, since it has filled with light the mind which had been buried in darkness, and given keenness to the "light-bringing eyes" of the soul? For just as, had the sun not been in existence, night would have brooded over the universe notwithstanding the other luminaries of heaven; so, had we nor known the Word, and been illuminated by Him; we should have been nowise different from fowls that are being fed, fattened in darkness, and nourished for death. Let us then admit the light, that we may admit God; let us admit the light, and become disciples to the Lord. This, too, He has been promised to the Father: "I will declare Thy name to my brethren; in the midst of the Church will I praise Thee."

Praise and declare to me Thy Father God; Thy utterances save; Thy hymn teaches that hitherto I have wandered in error, seeking God. But since Thou leadest me to the light, O Lord, and I find God through Thee, and receive the Father from Thee, I become "Thy fellow-heir," since Thou "weft not ashamed of me as Thy brother." Let us put away, then, let us put away oblivion of the truth, viz., ignorance; and removing the darkness which obstructs, as dimness of sight, let us contemplate the only true God, first raising our voice in this hymn of praise: Hail, O light! For in us, buried in darkness, shut up in the shadow of death, light has shone forth from heaven, purer than the sun, sweeter than life here below. That light is eternal life; and whatever partakes of it lives. But night fears the light, and hiding itself in terror, gives place to the day of the Lord. Sleepless light is now over all, and the west has given credence to the east. For this was the end of the new creation. [10]

There is a parallel to Clement's saying you have seen your brother you have seen your God in Tertullian

Thank you very much, Andrew, for that link. It is one of the most interesting documents, I have read, concerning early Christian ideas.

Lots and lots of topics worth discussing at that link, but they are all offtopic, so I will refrain from elaborating, but just to mention a couple of the very interesting themes in this noteworthy document:

Virginity, and constumes worn to signify same, applying logic to wearing various garments, according to both gender and stage of maturity;

Passover, and dietary compliance with the law (continued prominence of Judaism in early Christianity);

Abridged and delimited female role in society;

Back to the topic at hand. I think the entire quote from Tertullian is worth repeating, here, to demonstrate the connection to Hebrews 13:2, a document widely suspected as having been authored in the late first century, but, upon what evidence, I know not:

Are we confident that Clement of Alexandria is not the author of Hebrews?

Christianity is about a brotherhood of man. Yet the concept is now completely watered down. Originally this was a 'mystical' brotherhood of man because each one of us who completed the Christian mystery initiation was himself made after the likeness of the Son of God. Here is the reference from Clement On the Virgins listed above:

Quote:
Those, therefore, who imitate Christ, imitate Him earnestly. For those who have put on Christ Romans 13:14 in truth, express His likeness in their thoughts, and in their whole life, and in all their behaviour: in word, and in deeds, and in patience, and in fortitude, and in knowledge, and in chastity, and in long-suffering, and in a pure heart, and in faith, and in hope, and in full and perfect love towards God. No virgin, therefore, unless they be in everything as Christ, and as those who are Christs, Galatians 5:24 can be saved. For every virgin who is in God is holy in her body and in her spirit, and is constant in the service of her Lord, not turning away from it any whither, but waiting upon Him always in purity and holiness in the Spirit of God, being solicitous how she may please her Lord, 1 Corinthians 7:32 by living purely and without stain, and solicitous to be pleasing before Him in every thing. She who is such does not withdraw from our Lord, but in spirit is ever with her Lord: as it is written, Be holy, as I am holy, says the Lord. [On the Virgins 1.7]

Is it not a little bit interesting, to encounter so many themes overlapping, between Clement of Alexandria, and Hebrews?

I understand that our only source on this subject of authorship of Hebrews, is derived from Eusebius, who simply repeats, in the early fourth century, that Paul was not the author.

Does Clement himself, acknowledge authorship of Hebrews? Does the language of Clement (i.e. the Greek) resemble the language of Hebrews?

Why does Eusebius propose that Paul wrote Hebrews in Hebrew, and that Luke translated it into Greek?

This idea makes no sense to me, in view of the widely held opinion, that "Paul" was completely fluent in Greek.

Was Tertullian basing his review on Clement's text, or on Origen's later version?

So, here could be a candidate for a useful study, using an intelligent searching algorithm, what is popularly called "AI", acronym for artificial intelligence. In essence, the computer would create, like David Hindley, a huge array of tables, showing (in Greek of course) word use, listed by frequency, and verb conjugation patterns. Then a scoring algorithm would permit assignment of an arbitrary score according to the pattern obtained with the Greek writings of Clement, comparing them with Hebrews, Paul's letters, (both those acknowledged to be forgeries, and those ostensibly genuine) and Origen's texts, if any Greek copies remain extant.

Is Clement of Alexandria's Greek text the oldest extant Greek copy of any text relating to Hebrews? Do any of Paul's epistles reference Hebrews?

Until someone comes along with some evidence to the contrary, I will continue to wonder if Clement of Alexandria was not the author of Hebrews.

it is unlikely the clement is the author of the text. clemens thanks paul wrote it concert all your things barnabas wrote it. the dating of the text may well be late first century
