🗺 Places mentioned alongside Clement on the map →
Clement is mentioned in Php.4.3 as one of Paul's fellow laborers in the gospel. Paul describes Clement, along with others, as having his name in the Book of Life, indicating his faithful service and commitment to Christ. Paul's appeal to the Philippians to help these individuals suggests that they had faced some challenges or conflicts in their ministry. The mention of Clement's name implies that he was known to the Philippian church and had played a significant role in spreading the gospel alongside Paul. No further details about Clement's life or specific ministry activities are provided in the Bible. Some early church traditions identify this Clement as the same person as Clement of Rome, an early church father, but this connection cannot be conclusively established from the biblical text alone.

Mild, a Christian of Philippi, Paul’s “fellow-labourer,” whose name he mentions as “in the book of life” (Phil. 4:3). It was an opinion of ancient writers that he was the Clement of Rome whose name is well known in church history, and that he was the author of an Epistle to the Corinthians, the only known manuscript of which is appended to the Alexandrian Codex, now in the British Museum. It is of some historical interest, and has given rise to much discussion among critics. It makes distinct reference to Paul’s First Epistle to the Corinthians.
