Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book III for there is evil counsel as against the Just One,[144] Hippolytus Dogmatical and Historical Fragments Let us see, then, if his words be true, and let us prove what shall happen in the end of him; for if the just man be the Son of God, He will help him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies. Let us condemn him with a shameful death, for by his own saying he shall be respected."[183]
