| # | Clementine locus (GCS pagination) | Gospel lemma quoted | Romans lemma quoted | Notes on the pairing | | | | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | 1 | **Str. II 34 §4 / 131,8-12** | Mt 5 27-28 “You heard … do not commit adultery … do not lust” | Rom 7 7 “You shall not covet” | Clement explicitly calls Paul’s *ou epithymēseis* the **“apostolic gloss on the Lord’s antithesis.”** | | | | 2 | **Str. IV 25-26 §§3-4 / 260,14-261,8** | Mt 5 6 “Blessed are those who hunger…” (Beatitude) | Rom 5 6 “While we were still helpless…” | The Beatitude and Paul’s “still weak” are read as consecutive proofs that righteousness is a divine gift. | | | | 3 | **Str. IV 36-38 §§1-2 / 263,12-266,14** | Mt 5 6-8 (second Beatitude cluster) | Rom 5 7-8 | Clement strings the three Beatitudes and Paul’s two-verse crescendo into one syllogism on mercy. | | | | 4 | **Str. IV 40 §1 / 266,24-267,3** | Mt 5 9 “Blessed are the peacemakers” | Rom 5 9 “Now justified by his blood … peace with God” | Peacemaking is grounded in justification; Clement cites the two verses consecutively. | | | | 5 | **Str. IV 41 §1 / 267,20-27** | Mt 5 10 “Blessed are the persecuted” | Rom 5 10 “Reconciled … saved by his life” | The “persecution” Beatitude is explained by Paul’s language of reconciliation. | | | | 6 | **Str. IV 94-100 / 289-294** | Mt 5 37 “Let your ‘Yes’ be Yes” | Rom 10 10-11 “One believes with the heart, confesses with the mouth…” | Clement quotes the Matthean saying, then immediately the Roman confession formula. | | | | 7 | **Str. IV 96-97 / 290,16-291,8** | Mt 5 44-45 “Love your enemies” | Rom 8 38-39 “Nothing will separate us from the love of God” | The limitless divine love is the warrant for enemy-love. | | | | 8 | **Str. IV 145 §1 / 312,17-313,6** | Mt 5 3-5 (first three Beatitudes) | Rom 5 3-5 “We rejoice in tribulations … hope does not disappoint” | Clement merges the two triads into a single three-step ladder of growth. | | | | 9 | **Str. III 64 §2 / 225,21-226,4** and **Str. IV 9 §6 / 252,19-253,3** | Mt 5 12-13 “Rejoice … you are the salt of the earth” | Rom 5 12-13 (Adam / law) | Clement sets the hymn of rejoicing over persecution beside Paul’s proof that sin pre-dated Law. | | | | 10 | **Paed. III 82-96 / 268-290** | Mt 5 13-16 (salt & light) | Rom 12 8-13 (charismata list) | The “light on a lamp-stand” becomes Paul’s “he who teaches, in teaching … he who shows mercy, in cheerfulness.” | | | | 11 | **Str. VII 74-78 / 53,24-56,3** | Mt 7 21 ( | | Lk 6 46) “Not everyone who says ‘Lord…’” | Rom 1 17 & 8 14-17 | Clement frames “doing the Father’s will” with Paul’s “live by faith” and “sons of God by the Spirit.” | | 12 | **Str. III 48 §3 / 218,15-219,4** & **III 53 §4 / 220,26-221,10** | Mt 6 24 “No one can serve two masters” (in the larger Mammon section) | Rom 8 14-17 “as many as are led by the Spirit … heirs with Christ” | A longer catena; Clement alternates the Lord’s prohibition of double service with Paul’s slavery-vs-sonship antithesis. | | | | 13 | **Str. III 52 §3 / 220,8-25** | Mt 6 22-23 (sound eye / light of the body) | Rom 14 3 (clean / unclean foods) | Both verses are invoked to warn against judging a brother over indifferent matters. | | |
