Wikipedia extract

The Second Epistle of Clement, often referred to as 2 Clement, is an early Christian writing. It was at one point possibly considered canonical by the Roman Catholic Church, Coptic Orthodox Church and Eastern Orthodox Church. 1 and 2 Clement were included in some Bibles, such as the Codex Alexandrinus and Codex Hierosolymitanus, but are not included by active churches in the modern New Testament and is classified by them as New Testament apocrypha. It is part of the Apostolic Fathers collection.
