God's Word and Luther's Doctrine. 195

15. „Χιλιάκις μετανοήσας χιλιάκις εἴσελθε.“ (Chrysostom.)

Though you have fallen a thousand times and have done penance a thousand
times thereafter, a thousand times shall entrance into the Church be granted
you.

16. Vox μετανοίας accipitur vel ὁλικῶς καὶ γενικῶς, pro tota hominis
peccatoris ad Deum conversione; vel μερικῶς καὶ εἰδικῶς pro prima poenitentiae
parte, nimirum contritione. (Balth. Meisner.)

The word repentance is taken either generally, for the whole conversion of
sinful man to God, or specially, for the first part of repentance, namely
contrition.

17. Quando fides in Christum poenitentiae adjungitur, poenitentiae
nomine altera tantum pars illius intelligitur. (Gerh.)

When faith in Christ is added to repentance, then by the word repentance
only the other part of it is understood.

18. Quando poenitentiae tribuitur, quod sid medium reconciliationis,
συνεκδοχικῶς fieri statuendum est. (Gerh.)

When it is ascribed to repentance that it is a means of reconciliation with
God, one must assume that this is said synecdochically (that is, that what
holds of only one part is then ascribed to the whole.)

19. Vera poenitentia nunquam est sera.

A true repentance is never one that comes too late.

20. Sera poenitentia raro est vera.

Late repentance is seldom a true one.

21. Qui veniam promisit, crastinum non promisit.

He who has promised to grant grace at all times has not promised that you
shall live until tomorrow.

22. Poenitentia non est tabula naufragi secunda, sed in baptismi navem
regressus. (Luth.)

Repentance is not the shipwrecked man's second plank, but the return to the
ship of Baptism.

23. Poenitentia est exercitium baptismi. (Kromayer.)

Repentance is the exercise of Baptism.

24. „Magister et Dominus noster Jesus Christus, poenitentiam agere
mandans, totam christianam vitam vult esse perpetuam poenitentiam.“
(Lutherus.)

„Since our Master and LORD, JEsus Christ, says: Repent, etc., He wills that
the whole life of His believers on earth be a constant or unceasing
repentance.“
