1 Clement 9
Enoch Taken Up Righteous
Open in the reader →1Therefore let us obey his majestic and glorious purpose, and, becoming suppliants for his mercy and kindness, let us fall before him and turn to his compassions, leaving behind fruitless toil, as well as strife and the jealousy that leads to death.
2Let us fix our gaze on those who served perfectly in his majestic glory.
3Let us take Enoch, who, having been found righteous in obedience, was taken up, and his death was not found.
4Noah, having been found faithful, through his ministry proclaimed regeneration to the world, and through him the Master preserved the animals that entered the ark in pairs.
