Εἷπεν ὁ ἀββᾶς Ἰωάννης· Τὸ ἐλαφρὸν φορτίον ἐάσαντες, τουτέστι τὸ ἑαυτοὺς μέμφεσθαι, τὸ βαρὺ ἐβαστάσαμεν, τουτέστι τὸ δικαιοῦν ἑαυτούς. ᾽Αποφθεγματα των ἀγιων γεροντων, Παλλαδιος |
Father John said, 'Let us be done with such a light burden, that is, self reproach; and let us bear a heavy one, that is, righteousness.'
