+ 9TH POEMS: Тропарь, On Joel 2:32, On The Eve Of The Feast Of The Holy Prophet Joel

Lord, through Your Holy Prophet Joel,

You declared that whosoever shall call on the

name of the LORD shall be saved . . . .

You are longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any

should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Sin's wage is death, and death is its final payment and sentence.

But Salvation from sin and unto Life is obtained by Faithfilled repentance.


'Anthropos'

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The poem also partly quotes 2 Peter 3:9.  The quotation Joel 2:32 is Brenton's LXX translation.
