My LORD’s Bible1 Clement 6
1To these men who spent their lives in the practice of holiness, there is to be added a great multitude of the elect, who, having through envy endured many indignities and tortures, furnished us with a most excellent example. Through envy, those women, the Danaids and Dircæ, being persecuted, after they had suffered terrible and unspeakable torments, finished the course of their faith with stedfastness, and though weak in body, received a noble reward. Envy has alienated wives from their husbands, and changed that saying of our father Adam, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh.” Envy and strife have overthrown great cities, and rooted up mighty nations.
Ἰούτοις τοῖς ἀνδράσιν ὁσίως πολιτευσαμένοις συνη- θροίσθη πολὺ πλῆθος ἐκλεκτῶν, οἴτενες πολλαῖς αἰκίαις καὶ βασάνοις, διὰ ζῆλος παθόντες, ὑπόδενγμα κάλλιστον éylvorro ἐν ἡμῖν. Διὰ ζῆλος διωχθεῖσαι γυναῖκες, Τ Δαναΐδες καὶ Δίρκαεϊ, αἰκίσματα δεινὰ καὶ ἀνόσια παθοῦσαι, ἐπὶ τὸν τῆς πίστεως βέβαιον δρόμον κατήντησαν καὶ ὅλαβον γέρας γεν- ναῖον αἱ ἀσθενεῖς τῷ σώματι. ζῆλος ἀπηλλοτρίωσεν γαμετὰς ἀνδρῶν καὶ ἡλλοίωσεν τὸ ῥηθὲν ὑπὸ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Addu, Τοῖτο νῖν ὀςτοῦν ἐκ τῶν ὀστέων MOY Kai οἀρξ ἐκ τῆς οδρκός moy. ζῆλος καὶ ἔρις πόλεις μεγάλας κατέ- στρεψεν καὶ ἔθνη μεγάλα ἐξερίξωσεν.
