1 Clement 52
Offer God Sacrifice of Praise
Open in the reader →1The Master of all is without need, brothers; he needs nothing from anyone except that confession be made to him.
2For the chosen David says, “I will give thanks to the Lord, and it will please him more than a young bull with horns and hooves. Let the poor see and be glad.”
3And again he says, “Offer to God a sacrifice of praise, and pay your vows to the Most High; and call upon me in the day of your affliction, and I will deliver you, and you will glorify me.”
4For a sacrifice to God is a broken spirit.
