Having focused on our rewards, Clement seeks to emphasise that our blessings come from Christ, whom he describes in chapter 36 in language evocative of the Epistle of Hebrews.
In chapter 37 Clement likens our submission to Christ to that of soldiers in an army and, in a pauline manner, to the different parts of a body which work together "under one common rule".
Humility is the theme of chapter 38. As all our blessings flow from Christ, we have no reason to be proud. Even the one who is holy, should recognise that the source of holiness comes from God.
