Another's Evil

Ἀλλότριον κακὸν οὐ προστίθησιν ἁμαρτίαν, ἑὰν μὴ ἡμεῖς αὐτὸ κακαῖς παραδεξώμεθα ἐννοίαις.

Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Τῶν Οἰομένων Ἐξ Ἔργων Δικαιοῦσθαι

Source: Migne PG 65.960b
Another's evil does not add to our sin, if we do not cling to it with wicked thoughts.

Saint Mark The Ascetic, On Those Who Think Themselves Justified By Works
