Every sin that is left without repentance is a sin unto death, for which if even a saint shall pray, he shall not be heard.

If someone puts his trust in God in a matter, let him not argue with his brother about it.

Do not attempt to benefit by rebukes one who boasts of his virtues, for he loves to display himself can not be a lover of truth.

He who seeks forgiveness of his sins loves humility, but if he condemns another he seals his own wickedness.

Guard your mind from self-praise and flee a high opinion of yourself, so that God does not allow you to fall into the opposite passion to the virtue for which you boast, for man does not accomplish virtue alone, but with the help of God who sees all.

In the spiritual life we can do nothing worthy without repentance, but the Lord has much mercy on us because of our intentions. He who compels himself and holds on to repentance until the end, even if he sins is saved because he compelled himself, for the Lord promised this in the Gospel.

The sign of sincere love is to forgive wrongs done to us. It was with such love that the Lord loved the world.
