He admonishes also by Esaias, in His care for the people,\r\nwhen He says, “This people honour me with their lips, but their heart\r\nis far from me.” What follows is reproving censure: “In vain do they\r\nworship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_331\" id=\"FNanchor_331\">[331]</a> Here\r\nHis loving care, having shown their sin, shows salvation side by side.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE INSTRUCTOR.","BOOK I.","CHAPTER IX.
