Grace and God’s Help

Clement of Alexandria, Miscellanies 1.7.38

Clement of Alexandria · c. 150–c. 215 AD

For the teaching of godliness is a gift, and faith itself is grace. By doing the will of God we come to know the will.

Greek

δωρεὰ γὰρ ἡ διδασκαλία τῆς θεοσεβείας, χάρις δὲ ἡ πίστις. ποιοῦντες γὰρ τὸ θέλημα τοῦ θεοῦ τὸ θέλημα γινώσκομεν.
