For it is said, “Let\r\nyour loins be girt about, and your lamps burning; and ye yourselves\r\nlike to men that watch for their lord, that when he returns from the\r\nmarriage, and comes and knocks, they may straightway open to him.\r\nBlessed are those servants whom the Lord, when He cometh, shall find\r\nwatching.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_558\" id=\"FNanchor_558\">[558]</a> For there is no use of a sleeping man, as there is not\r\nof a dead man. Wherefore we ought often to rise by night and bless God.\r\nFor blessed are they who watch for Him, and so make themselves like the\r\nangels, whom we call “watchers.” But a man asleep is worth nothing, any\r\nmore than if he were not alive.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE INSTRUCTOR.","BOOK II.","CHAPTER IX.
