Беззаконие

Lawlessness, like a flame, eats up human souls. Lawlessness is the fruit of the absence of love. Woe to the shepherd if with his temptations he opens the path to iniquity for his flock. Lawlessness, left without punishment, is nothing more than a door to other lawlessness. This will result in a habit of sin and bitterness in sin, which ends in obvious destruction. Leaving a criminal without punishment is not mercy, but inhumanity and madness, which leads even the one who has mercy to destruction... It is bad to show mercy where punishment is required; It is bad to forgive and spare someone who does not leave sin and does not repent. An unpunished sin gives rise to other sins, and one forgiven villain gives rise to a similar crime for many. For the evil, seeing an unpunished villain, commit the same crime with the hope that they too will be forgiven if they are exposed. This will result in an increase in atrocities, and this will result in a considerable loss for the fatherland. Christians who commit lawlessness show ingratitude to God. Lawlessness comes from the love of peace. Lawless people dare to do any evil, just so as not to lose their whims. And especially the strong and powerful, but lawless, do terrible evil in society, because they are not afraid to dare to do any evil when they see an obstacle to their whims.
