For I remember His saying, \u2018Many shall come from the east and from the west, the north and the south, and shall recline on the bosoms of Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob.\u2019 1090 \u2018But many,\u2019 said He also, \u2018are called, but few chosen.\u2019 1091 The coming, therefore, of these called ones is fulfilled. But inasmuch as it is not of themselves, but of God who has called them and caused them to come, on this account alone they have no reward, since it is not of themselves but of Him who has wrought in them. But if, after being called, they do things that are excellent, for this is of themselves, then for this they shall have a reward.\n[With chaps. 4\u201311 compare the closely resembling passage, Recognitions, iv. 4\u201311.\u2014R.]\n271:1090 271:1091","title":"Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol VIII: Pseudo-Clementine Literature.: Chapter IV","type":"page"}
