Encouragement

Poemen said, “If a man sins and denies it, saying, ‘I have not sinned,’ do not correct him, or you will destroy any intention he might have of changing. If you say, ‘Do not be cast down, my brother, but be careful about that in future,’ you will move his heart to repent”

– De vitis Patrum, Sive Verba Seniorum, Liber V
