Because God's justice is inexorable, it is hard to obtain forgiveness for sins committed with complete deliberation.

He who willingly accepts chastening by affliction is not dominated by evil thoughts against his will; whereas he who does not accept affliction is taken prisoner by evil thoughts, even though he resists them.

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

We must receive the one who curses us as a messenger from God, rebuking our hidden evil thoughts, so that we, seeing our thoughts with exactness, might correct ourselves. For we do not know how many hidden evils we have; Only a perfect man can understand all of his own shortcomings.

If you want the Lord to hide your sins, then don't talk to people about what kind of virtues you have. For as we relate to our virtues, so God relates to our sins.

Because God's justice is inexorable, it is hard to obtain forgiveness for sins committed with complete deliberation.

If someone falls into any sin and is not sincerely grieved about it, it is easy for him to fall into the same thing again.
