Clement of Alexandria, on Titus 1:10
Clement of Alexandria · c. A.D. 150–215
Titus 1:10 · Douay-Rheims
“For there are also many disobedient, vain talkers, and seducers: especially they who are of the circumcision:”
On this verse:
“"For there are," he says, "many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers:" Wherefore it was not said to all, "Ye are the salt of the earth." For there are some even of the hearers of the word who are like the fishes of the sea, which, reared from their birth in brine, yet need salt to dress them for food.”
