εἰ δέ τις πρὸς ταῦτα ἀνθυποίσει τὸν μηδὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπᾶραι θελήσαντα τελώνην καὶ τύψαντα ἑαυτοῦ τὸ στῆθος καὶ εἰπόντα· »Ὁ θεός, ἱλάσθητί μοι τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ«, λεκτέον πρὸς αὐτὸν ὅτι ὥσπερ οὐ πᾶσιν οὐδὲ ἀεὶ παραληπτέον τὴν κατὰ θεὸν λύπην μετάνοιαν εἰς σωτηρίαν ἀμεταμέλητον ἐργαζομένην, ἀλλ’ ἢ μόνῳ καὶ παντὶ τῷ ἄξια τοιαύτης λύπης ποιήσαντι καὶ μεταγινώσκοντι ἐπ’ αὐτοῖς, καὶ παραληπτέον γε αὐτὴν σὺν μέτρῳ καὶ μὴ περισσήν, ἵνα μὴ τῇ πε ρισσοτέρᾳ λύπῃ καταποθῇ ὑπὸ τοῦ Σατανᾶ, οὕτως μήποτε οὐ παντὶ καθήκει μηδὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπᾶραι θέλειν, ὡς οὐδὲ ἑστάναι μακρόθεν.
