(1b) 2 Clem 5:2

/5:1/Wherefore brethren, let us forsake our sojourning in this world, and do the will of him who called us, and let us not fear to go forth from this world, /2/ for the Lord said, "Ye shall be as lambs in the midst of wolves," /3/ and Peter answered and said to him, "if then the wolves tear the lambs?" /4/ Jesus said to Peter, "Let the lambs have no fear of the wolves after their death; and do ye have no fear of those that slay you, and can do nothing more to you, but fear him who after your death hath power over body and soul, to cast them into the flames of hell." [Sayings Parallels]
