Q. What do we do that is good? A. Only that which arises out of true faith, conforms to God's law, and is done for his glory; and not that which is based on what we think is right or on established human tradition.
The true Christian lives in unceasing communion with God — every act is prayer, every word is praise. Clement teaches that prayer is not confined to set times and places but is the orientation of the entire life toward God. The Gnostic (the mature believer) prays without ceasing, doing everything — eating, drinking, working — for the glory of God.
