When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

As a matter of fact, the bit that comes after "Clem." in your text, "I Cor. xl, 1", is actually part of the same reference. It looks as though it refers to Paul's First Epistle to Corinthians, chapter 40, verse 1, from the New Testament, but it can't, because Paul's 1 Corinthians only has 16 chapters. Clement's two epistles (the genuine one and the one traditionally attributed to him) are called "First Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians" and "Second Epistle of Clement to the Corinthians". This reference, "Clem., I Cor. xl, 1", means Clement, 1st Epistle to the Corinthians, chapter 40, verse 1". And here it is:
"1 Clem. 40:1 Forasmuch then as these things are manifest beforehand, and we have searched into the depths of the Divine knowledge, we ought to do all things in order, as many as the Master hath commanded us to perform at their appointed seasons."

So Aleksandra is right that the reference is to 1 Clement, but the "Clem." part simply means "Clement".

First Epistle of Clement
I think it's much more likely that the First Epistle of Clement ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Epistle_of_Clement ) is being referred to here, all the more so since It makes distinct reference to Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, which is also referenced here. Last quote is from http://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionary/clement/ .

: You're right that it's the 1st Epistle, but Clem. simply stands for Clement and the ref. to the 1st Epistle is what follows. See my added note. // You're quite right, but the 2nd is still cited as Clem(ent); see e.g. http://tinyurl.com/q4653rj

Thank you! Yeah, I didn't notice that... I wrote that "Clem." stands specifically for the First Epistle because the Second Epistle is generally deemed to be (1) spurious and (2) rather later than the First. // You are absolutely right.
