1 Clement 24:1-7
1Let us consider, beloved, how the Lord continually proves to us that there shall be a future resurrection, of which He has rendered the Lord Jesus Christ the first-fruits by raising Him from the dead.
2Let us contemplate, beloved, the resurrection which is at all times taking place.
3Day and night declare to us a resurrection.
4The night sinks to sleep, and the day arises; the day [again] departs, and the night comes on.
5Let us behold the fruits [of the earth], how the sowing of grain takes place.
6The sower goes forth, and casts it into the ground; and the seed being thus scattered, though dry and naked when it fell upon the earth, is gradually dissolved.
7Then out of its dissolution the mighty power of the providence of the Lord raises it up again, and from one seed many arise and bring forth fruit.
