Summary

This quote suggests that sins play a crucial role in defining and strengthening our virtues. They act as a contrast, allowing us to understand and appreciate the value of virtuous actions and behaviors. By experiencing and acknowledging our own shortcomings or wrongdoings, we become more aware of the importance of moral and righteous choices. It implies that without the awareness of sins and their consequences, our growth towards developing virtues would be limited or even stagnant. Thus, sins can be seen as a necessary part of the journey towards cultivating and enhancing our virtuous qualities.
