Letter 607
To the Same Man.
Know that you have sinned, and you will wipe away your sins; become your own accuser, striking your breast and saying, "O God, be merciful to me, the sinner" [the prayer of the tax-collector, Luke 18:13], and you will obtain salvation. We have welcomed your confession and your humility.

Γνῶθι ὅτι ἥμαρτες, καὶ ἀπαλείψεις τὰς ἁμαρτίας
σου· γενοῦ σεαυτοῦ κατήγορος, τύπτων τὸ στῆθος
καὶ λέγων· «Ὁ Θεός, ἱλάσθητί μοι τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ,»
καὶ τεύξῃ σωτηρίας. Ἀπεδεξάμεθά σου τὴν ἐξομο-
λόγησιν καὶ τὴν ταπεινοφροσύνην.
