Ἡ μετάνοια ζωοποιεῖ τὸν τοῖς παραπτώσμασι νεκρωθέντα· αὕτη γὰρ γνώρισμα ὑπάρχει τῆς παλιγγενεσίας, τρόπαιον δὲ ἀναστάσεως, ἐντεῦθεν ἤδη ὀφθαλμοῖς βλεπομένης. Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΣΟΔ' Εὐρυκλει Πρεσβυτερῳ Source: Migne PG 79.184a |
Repentance gives life to one who is dead in his sins; this is a figure of regeneration and a token of the resurrection, now appearing before the eyes. Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 274, to the Priest Eurycles |
State super vias et videte et interrogate de semitis antiquis quae sit via bona et ambulate in ea et invenietis refrigerium animabus vestris
