 74  14     |         things were done thus, that they might not only signify their

101  18     |         saved, "though as by fire." They believe that such people

103  18     |         about these it is said that they will be saved as by fire,
104  18     |           lost without anguish when they have been loved with a~possessive
105  18     |  purgatorial fire, in proportion as they have loved the goods that

107  18     |         repentance" to signify that they must not be barren of~almsgiving,
108  19     |          unspeakable crimes such as they~commit who "will not possess

110  19     |            but from which, now that they have changed for the better
111  19     |           the better by repentance,~they have departed. The condition
112  19     |             of this is that just as they truly say, "Forgive us our
113  19     |            to be forgiven), so also they truly say, "As we forgive
114  19     |            own enemies, while those~they suppose to be their enemies
115  19     |      friends. And then, by mistake, they return evil for~good, when
116  19     |          are heard~when, in prayer, they say, "Forgive us our debts,
117  19     |            forgive our debtors when they ask for forgiveness."~
118  20     |           things are clean to you."~They do not understand how far
119  20     |           things ~are clean if only they give alms, as they deem
120  20     |             only they give alms, as they deem it right to give them,
121  20     |         right to give them, even if they have not believed~in him,
122  20     |           to the Pharisees, even if~they gave alms, but were not
123  20     |            believers? Or, how could they be believers, if they were
124  20     |         could they be believers, if they were unwilling~to believe
125  20     |            his grace? And yet, what they heard is true: "Give~alms;
126  20     |            But the Pharisees, while they gave as alms a tithing of
127  20     |            love of God." Therefore, they did not begin their almsgiving
128  20     |           with ~themselves, nor did they, first of all, show mercy
129  20     |          the outside~while inwardly they were still full of extortion
130  20     |            of his admonition, which they had ignored, and to show
131  20     |            money or anything else - they purchase impunity to continue
132  20     |         wickedness. For not only do they do such things, but they ~
133  20     |            they do such things, but they ~also love them so much
134  20     |         also love them so much that they would always choose to continue
135  20     |            to continue in them - if they could do so~with impunity. "
136  21     |        Scriptures did not~show that they are more serious than we
137  21     |            months or years, because they follow vain human doctrines
138  21     |           and terrible, which, when they come to~be habitual, are

141  23     |             more~readily think that they perish, like seeds that
142  23     |          are~born and live, even if they quickly die, nor should
143  23     |          nor should we believe that they will be raised as they~were,
144  23     |         that they will be raised as they~were, but rather in an amended

171  26     |           omnipotence is concerned, they were quite unable to achieve
