Though\r\nyou die for your neighbour out of love, and regard the Saviour as our\r\nneighbour (for God who saves is said to be nigh in respect to what is\r\nsaved); you do so,<span class=\"pagenum\" id=\"Page_159\">[159]</span> choosing death on account of life, and suffering\r\nfor your own sake rather than his. And is it not for this that he is\r\ncalled brother? he who, suffering out of love to God, suffered for\r\nhis own salvation; while he, on the other hand, who dies for his own\r\nsalvation, endures for love to the Lord. For he being life, in what he\r\nsuffered, wished to suffer that we might live by his suffering.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK IV.","CHAPTER VII.
