Isaías 57
John Chrysostom · Comentário Patrístico (catena)
Isaías 57:18
For such is the loving-kindness of God; he never turns his face away from a sincere repentance, but if any one has pushed on to the very extremity of wickedness and chooses to return afterwards toward the path of virtue, God accepts and welcomes and does everything so as to restore him to his former position. — LETTER TO THE FALLEN THEODORE 1:6
Isaías 57:19
But let us humble our own souls by almsgiving and forgiving our neighbors their trespasses, by not remembering injuries or avenging ourselves. If we continually reflect on our sins, no external circumstances can make us elated, neither riches, nor power, nor authority nor honor; no, even should we sit in the imperial chariot itself, we cry bitterly. — ON THE EPISTLE TO THE HEBREWS 9:9
