Bishop Saint [[Irenaeus of Lyons]] lists Saint Clement as a contemporary of the Apostles and witness of their preaching. According to tradition he was probably a freed man in the imperial household and was baptized by St. Peter. [[Origen]] identifies him as working with Saint Paul the Apostle as Paul's "fellow-labourer", and so do Eusebius, Epiphanius, and [[Jerome]], but this Clement with Paul (Philippians 4:3) was probably a Philippian.
