in case everyone who will not stop at faith is a man who is reconciled in pain and is reconciled to pain,
Those who are reconciled to pain and say that it is just a way of life, and that death need not be feared even without God—they minimize the greatness of evil, pretending it does not exist. But the Christian recognizes that evil is truly evil, and that it is great, and of immense importance. And that is why he hopes in God who will save us from it, precisely because the evil is so great that we could not bear it on our own.
