DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clement of Rome warns against the sinful behavior of Amnon towards his
sister Tamar, emphasizing the consequences of indulging in immoral
desires without the fear of God. He urges the congregation to avoid
inappropriate relationships and instead treat others with chasteness,
purity, and reverence for the Lord.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have you not read concerning Amnon and Tamar, the children of David?
This Amnon conceived a passion for his sister, and humbled her, and did
not spare her, because he longed for her with a shameful passion; and he
proved wicked and profligate because of his constant intercourse with
her, without the fear of God, and he wrought uncleanness in Israel.

Therefore, it is not proper for us, nor right for us, to associate with
sisters, indulging in laughter and looseness; but we ought to behave
towards them with all chasteness and purity, and in the fear of the
Lord.
