Job xiv. and again, " There is no man clean from pollution, even if his life should
be only for a day upon the earth." Every one therefore who believeth
and is baptized, his former sins are forgiven ; but should he again sin
after baptism, (S. + even if he do not commit a mortal sin or participate
in it, but only seeth or heareth or speaketh, and thus again) he is guilty
of the sin. If then one go out of this world by martyrdom for the name
of the Lord, blessed is he ; for the brethren who have suffered martyrdom
and have gone out of this world, in these things their sins are covered
(S. + Behold, like this, that " every one who looketh on a woman to lust
after her," hear also, " accusation and evil speaking," or like this, that
" every vain word that men shall speak," etc.)
