Clement of Alexandria, on 1Cor 15:41

Clement of Alexandria · c. A.D. 150–215
1Cor 15:41 · Douay-Rheims
“One is the glory of the sun, another the glory of the moon, and another the glory of the stars. For star differeth from star in glory.”
On this verse:
“Conformably, therefore, there are various abodes, according to the worth of those who have believed. To the point Solomon says, "For there shall be given to him the choice grace of faith, and a more pleasant lot in the temple of the Lord." For the comparative shows that there are lower parts in the temple of God, which is the whole Church. And the superlative remains to be conceived, where the Lord is. These chosen abodes, which are three, are indicated by the numbers in the Gospel-the thirty, the sixty, the hundred.”
