St Basil the Great, tr. Lowther Clarke, 1925
Rule 58: Is Only He Who Lies on Purpose Condemned, or He Also Who Speaks Something…
The judgment of the Lord is clear against those also who sin in ignorance, for He said: “He that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes.”1 But worthy repentance always brings with it a firm hope of forgiveness.
