It is true that he may once have received forgiveness; but his unmerciful spirit shows that he now rejects God's pardoning love. He has separated himself from God, and is in the same condition as before he was forgiven. He has denied his repentance,and his sins are upon him as if he had not repented.

Det er sandt, at han måske nok engang har fået tilgivelse, men hans ubarmhjertige sindelag viser at han nu forkaster Guds tilgivende kærlighed. Han har fjernet sig fra Gud og er nu i samme tilstand, som før han fik tilgivelse. Han har fornægtet sin omvendelse, og hans synder hviler på ham, som om han ikke havde omvendt sig.
