Summary

This quote highlights the different responses individuals have towards sin. It suggests that anyone can make mistakes and fall into sin, as it is a part of human nature. However, those who feel remorse and regret their actions are considered virtuous and saintly, as they acknowledge their wrongdoings. On the other hand, individuals who take pride in their sins and glorify them are seen as evil or devilish, as they lack remorse and carry a carefree or boastful attitude towards their immoral actions.
