1 Letter of Clement 52
1 The Master, brethren, hath need of nothing at all. He desireth not anything of any man, save to confess unto Him.
2 For the elect David saith; I will confess unto the Lord, and it shall please Him more than a young calf that groweth horns and hoofs. Let the poor see it, and rejoice. 3a For a sacrifice unto God is a broken spirit. 3b And again He saith; Sacrifice to God a sacrifice of praise, and pay thy vows to the Most High: and call upon Me in the day of thine affliction, and I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify Me. 4b For a sacrifice unto God is a broken spirit.
