About this work

Author: Unknown

XV. Sedrach saith to God: O Lord, Thou alone art

‹ Section 14 Section 16 ›

sinless

and

very

compassionate

,

having

compassion

and

pity

for

sinners

,

but

thy

divinity

said

:

I

am

not

come

to

call

the

righteous

but

sinners

to

repentance

.

And

the

Lord

said

to

Sedrach

:

Dost

thou

not

know

,

Sedrach

,

that

the

thief

was

saved

in

one

moment

to

repent

?

Dost

thou

not

know

that

my

apostle

and

evangelist

was

saved

in

one

moment

?

“

Peccatores

enim

non

salvantur

,

”

for

their

hearts

are

like

rotten

stone

:

these

are

they

who

walk

in

impious

ways

and

who

shall

be

destroyed

with

Antichrist

.

Sedrach

saith

:

O

my

Lord

,

Thou

also

saidst

:

My

divine

spirit

entered

into

the

nations

which

,

not

having

the

law

,

do

the

things

of

the

law

.

So

also

the

thief

and

the

apostle

and

evangelist

and

the

rest

of

those

who

have

already

got

into

thy

Kingdom

.

O

my

Lord

;

so

likewise

do

Thou

pardon

those

who

have

sinned

to

the

last

:

for

life

is

very

toilsome

and

there

is

no

time

for

repentance

.
