And you, fornicator, will you receive pardon at the trial if you do not repent and give up your adultery, do not pay for it, do not make amends for it with alms and abstinence? Thus, all those who are attached, addicted to the shadow of this world and its deceitful passions will not have mercy unless they repent. Oh, how many who sinned and repented were pardoned! How many former fornicators, murderers, covetous people and repentants have entered heaven and are enjoying bliss! (4) The enemy (the devil) corrupted humanity at the beginning, before the flood, all fornication, all kinds of sins, and God brought the flood to the earth in order to save future offspring from the greater spread of fornication and all sin. So now the devil corrupts people mainly through all kinds of fornication (10). Satan very intensely throws the prodigal poison into the heart and loins and the whole body with the greatest flattery. Be strong, servant of Christ, and remember that your incorruptible and pure pleasure is Christ. For Him keep your heart from all uncleanness (10). Holy wives and virgins and entire families during times of persecution committed suicide in order not to be desecrated by violent fornication with the wicked - they either threw themselves from the heights of buildings and were killed, or mothers and their daughters went into rivers and drowned and became martyrs for Christ, for faith and piety (10).
