Letter 800
To the Same Person.
One must not despair of being saved through the compassion of Christ. Behold, even now he speaks through the prophet: "I do not desire the death of a sinner, but his turning back." [cf. Ezekiel 33:11] Turn back to me after your sin. "Does not he who falls rise again?" [Jeremiah 8:4] Let us therefore rise.

Latin / Greek Original
Οὐκ ἀπελπιστέον σωθῆναι δι’ εὐσπλαγχνίας Χριστοῦ. Ἰδοὺ καὶ νῦν διὰ τοῦ προφήτου· «Οὐ βούλομαι ἁμαρτωλοῦ θάνατον, ἀλλ’ ἐπιστροφήν.» Πρὸς με ἀνάστρεφον μετὰ τὴν ἁμαρτίαν. «Μὴ ὁ πίπτων οὐκ ἀνίσταται;» Ἀναστῶμεν τοιγάρτοι.
