I suppose your rendering is ok-- but to me "resides as foreigner" is really
saying too much. I know this is what the word "can" mean, but I dont think
Clement is being so wooden. "the church of God which exists in Rome" or
even better, "the church of God which is in Rome", or best of all, "the
church of God at home in Rome" gets the gist without overextending the meaning.
Best,
Jim
