Clement of Alexandria, The Instructor I.8Book I
“At this stage some rise up, saying that the Lord, by reason of the rod, and threatening, and fear, is not good; misapprehending, as appears, the Scripture which says, “And he that feareth the Lord will turn to his heart;” and most of all, oblivious of His love, in that for us He became man.” — editor's note: Ecclus. xxi. 6.
