(1) 2Clem 8:5a
For the Lord says in the Gospel, "If ye did not guard that which is small, who shall give you that which is great? For I tell you that he who is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is much." He means, then, this: Keep the flesh pure, and the seal of baptism undefiled, that we may obtain eternal life. [Sayings Parallels]
