Clement of Rome preaches about the divine order established by God, where greater things come first and inferior things second, contrasting with the reversed order found in humanity. He illustrates this pattern through various biblical examples, such as Cain and Abel, Deucalion's spirits, and the patriarchs of the nation like Ishmael and Isaac, Esau and Jacob. Clement highlights the significance of the first and second births in these examples, emphasizing the distinction between the unrighteous and the righteous, the impure and the pure, the profane and the pious.
