Canon 2

An order to accept into church fellowship everyone who sincerely repents and forsakes their sin.
That those who fall into various sins, but patiently remain in prayer of confession and repentance and completely turn away from evil deeds, after they have been given time to repent in proportion to their sin, by the mercy and goodness of God are allowed into fellowship.
Greek original
Περὶ τοῦ τοὺς ἐξαμαρτάνοντας ἐν διαφόροις πταίσματι, καὶ προσκαρτεροῦντας τῇ προσευχῇ τῆς ἐξομολογήσεως καὶ μετανοίας, καὶ τὴν ἀποοτροφὴν τῶν κακῶν τελείαν ποιούμενους, κατὰ τὴν ἀναλογίαν τοῦ πταίσματος, καιροῦ μετανοίας δοθέντος τοῖς τοιούτοις, διὰ τοὺς οἰκτιρμοὺς καὶ τὴν ἀγαθότητα τοῦ Θεοῦ προσάγεσθαι τῇ κοινωνίᾳ.
