Care And Salvation

Ὁ φιλανθρωπότατος Σωτὴρ τῶν ὅλων Χριστός, τό γε ἧκον εἰς αὐτὸν, πάντας ἀνθρώπους παρεγένετο σῶσαι. Καὶ βλέπομεν, ὅτι οὐ πάντες ἑαυτοὺς ἐπιδιδόατι τῇ σωτηρίᾳ ἑαυτῶν. Τοίνυν καταγνῶμεν , καὶ ἑαυτοὺς ταλανίζωμεν τῆς ἀμελείας, καὶ τῆς κακοφασύνης, καὶ μὴ τῷ ἀγαθῷ Δεσπότῃ ἐπάγωμεν τὰ ἐγεκλήματα. Ἅγιος Νειλος, Βιβλιον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολὴ ΤΙϚ', Πιεριῳ Συγκλητικῳ.

The most loving Christ, the Saviour of us all, because He looked to it, came to save all men, yet we see that not everyone gives themselves to their salvation. Let us then recognise and deplore their negligence and depravity, lest we attribute fault to the good Lord. Saint Nilus of Sinai, Book 1, Letter 316, to Pierius the Syncleticus
