For that no man on earth was righteous, Paul declared, saying, For all
have sinned, and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 And by this too
the others were comforted, I mean, the guests. Why, I am so far, says He, from
loathing sinners, that even for their sakes only am I come. Then, lest He
should make them more careless, He staid not at the word sinners, but added,
unto repentance. For I am not come that they should continue sinners, but that
they should alter, and amend.
St. John Chrysostom
