137 If he did not continue to forgive, there would be no life for this world or the people in it.
138 He is spoken of as pardoning because, if it were not for his goodness in pardoning sinners, not one person in 10,000 would gain life.
139 He is called judge because he pardons and blots out the many sins of those who were created by his word.
140 If he did not, only a handful of the whole human race would be left.”
