Apocrypha · Chapter 51 of 65
Letter to the Corinthians
For the things in which we have sinned, and for the things we have done by the instigation of the adversary, let us ask that we be granted forgiveness.
2And those who were leaders of sedition and division must look to the common hope.
3For those who walk in fear and love prefer to suffer torments themselves, rather than see their neighbors suffer.
4It is better for a man to confess his sins than to harden his heart.
