Chapter
XLV.—How God is to Be Thought of.
“Wherefore, Clement, my son, beware of
thinking otherwise of God, than that He is the only God, and Lord, and
Father, good and righteous, the Creator, long-suffering, merciful, the
sustainer, the benefactor, ordaining love of men, counselling purity,
immortal and making immortal, incomparable, dwelling in the souls of
the good, that cannot be contained and yet is contained,951
| 951 The Latin has here,
“imperceptus et perceptus;” but Wieseler points out that
χωρούμενος
has reference to God’s dwelling in the souls of the good, and
thus He is contained by them. | who has fixed the great world as a centre in
space, who has spread out the heavens and solidified the earth, who has
stored up the water, who has disposed the stars in the sky, who has
made the fountains flow in the earth, has produced faults, has raised
up mountains, hath set bounds to the sea, has ordered winds and blasts,
who by the spirit of counsel has kept safely the body comprehended in a
boundless sea.
