For We Have Sinned
Paul writes, ‘I know of nothing against myself, yet I am not justified by this’ (1 Cor. 4:4). You see he does not exalt himself, but humbles and abases himself in every way, and that just when he had reached the summit. And the Three Children were in the fire, in the midst of the furnace, and what did they say? ‘For we have sinned and transgressed by departing from You; and we have done evil in every way’ (Dan. 3:29). This is what it is to have a contrite heart.
~ St. John Chrysostom
