{"author":null,"backreferences":[{"context_html":"<p>Having got to this point, I recollect the doctrines about there being\r\nno necessity to pray, introduced by certain of the heterodox, that\r\nis, the followers of the heresy of Prodicus. That they may not then\r\nbe inflated with conceit about this godless wisdom of theirs, as if\r\nit were strange, let them learn that it was embraced before by the\r\nphilosophers called Cyrenaics. Nevertheless, the unholy knowledge\r\n(<i>gnosis</i>) of those falsely called [Gnostics] shall meet with\r\nconfutation at a fitting time; so that the assault on them, by no\r\nmeans brief, may not, by being introduced into the commentary, break\r\nthe discourse in hand, in which we are showing that the only really\r\nholy and pious man is he who is truly a Gnostic according to the rule\r\nof the church, to whom alone the petition made in accordance with the\r\nwill of God is granted,<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1240\" id=\"FNanchor_1240\">[1240]</a> on asking and on thinking. For as God\r\ncan do all that He wishes, so the Gnostic receives all that he asks.\r\nFor, universally, God knows those who are and those who are not worthy\r\nof good things; whence He gives to each what is suitable. Wherefore to\r\nthose that are unworthy, though they ask often, He will not give; but\r\nHe will give to those who are worthy.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK VII.","CHAPTER VII.
