"As long as we are in this
world, let us repent with our whole heart of the evil things
which we have done in the flesh, so that we may be saved by the
Lord while we still have time for repentance. For after we have
departed from the world, we are no longer able there either to
confess or to repent anymore." Second
Clement, c. A.D. 100
"Then
saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the
laborers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he
will send forth laborers into his harvest." (Matthew 9:37-38)
