p. 55 Two Epistles Concerning Virginity.
The First Epistle of the Blessed Clement, the Disciple of Peter the Apostle.
To all those who love and cherish their life which is in Christ through God the Father, and obey the truth of God in hope of eternal life; to those who bear affection towards their brethren and towards their neighbours in the love of God; to the blessed brother virgins, 292 who devote themselves to preserve virginity “for the sake of the kingdom of heaven;” 293 and to the holy sister virgins: the peace which is in God. 294
