赦免是無條件的。 但是假使我們不去祈求並且領受的話,赦免也不會臨到我們。赦免是一個答案,一個神聖的答案,是針對被蘊含在我們的存在中的問題。答案只能夠是那已經提問,察覺問題之人的答案。然而此一察覺是無法被捏造的,它或許是在靈魂的隱匿處,被許多層的正義所覆蓋。在明顯的時刻,它會達到我們的自覺。或者,日復一日,它會充滿我們自覺的生命並其不可知的深度,並領我們走向以赦免為其答案的問題。

保羅‧田立克

There is no condition for forgiveness. But forgiveness could not come to us if we were not asking for it and receiving it. Forgiveness is an answer, the divine answer, to the question implied in our existence. An answer is answer only for one who has asked, who is aware of the question. This awareness cannot be fabricated. It may be in a hidden place in our souls, covered by many strata of righteousness. It may reach our consciousness in certain moments. Or, day by day, it may fill our conscious life as well as its unconscious depths and drive us to the question to which forgiveness is the answer.
