“Does the psalmist say: ‘If the Christians become righteous, and listen to my words, they will not suffer tribulations?’ … No, that is not his promise; but actually, the wicked may suffer less tribulations; while the righteous may suffer more of them. But the former, passing through less tribulations, or no tribulation at all, will reach aneverlasting tribulation, from which they will have no deliverance; While the righteous will come to enjoy the everlasting peace after their long suffering.” ~ St. Augustine#afflictions #theLorddelivers #concentrateonbeingrighteous #righteousnessisfromGod #dailyreadings #coptic #orthodox
