Apocrypha · Chapter 62 of 68
Slavonic
Blessed is the man who in his patience brings his gifts with faith before the Lord’s face, because he will find forgiveness of sins.
2But if he take back his words before the time, there is no repentance for him; and if the time pass and he do not of his own will what is promised, there is no repentance after death.
3Because every work which man does before the time, is all deceit before men, and sin before God.
