Saidbook

To sinners who repent like the sinner, the tax collector, and the thief, the Lord forgives all the debt, but also asks the righteous for interest.

— Epiphanius of Salamis

Ai peccatori che si pentono come la peccatrice, il pubblicano ed il ladrone il Signore perdona tutto il debito, ma ai giusti chiede anche gli interessi.
