For as we call a physician\r\nperfect, and a philosopher perfect, so also, in my view, do we call a\r\nGnostic perfect. But not one of those points, although of the greatest\r\nimportance, is assumed in order to the likeness of God. For we do not\r\nsay, as the Stoics do most impiously, that virtue in man and God is\r\nthe same. Ought we not then to be perfect, as the Father wills? For it\r\nis utterly impossible for any one to become perfect as God is. Now the\r\nFather wishes us to be perfect by living blamelessly, according to the\r\nobedience of the gospel.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","BOOK VII.","CHAPTER XIV.
