Правило 8 Петра Александрийского
Machine translation from the original · Show original
Those who were betrayed and fell, but themselves came to the feat, and confessed themselves to be Christians, and were thrown into prison and tortured, it is righteous to strengthen them in joyful hearts, and had fellowship with them in everything, both in prayers, and in the communion of the body and blood of Christ, and in the consolation of the word, so that by struggling more constantly, they too would be worthy of the honor of the highest calling. For it is said: the righteous shall fall seven times and rise again (Prov. 24:16). If only all the fallen did the same: they would show complete and all-zealous repentance.
(Ap. 62; I Universe. 12; Ankyr. 3; Petra Alex. 9; Basil the Great. 3).
