[The Angel of Repentence] said to me, "Do you see this shepherd?"

Don't suffer with ...

   "I see him, sir," I said.
   "This," he answered, "is the angel of luxury and deceit. He wears out the souls of the servants of God and perverts them from the truth. He deceives them with wicked desires, through which they will perish. For they forget the commandments of the living God and walk in deceit and empty luxuries. They are ruined by the angel, some being brought to death, others to corruption."
   I said to him, "Sir, I do not know the meaning of the words, 'to death, and to corruption.'"
   "Listen," he said. "The sheep which you saw merry and leaping about are those who have torn themselves away from God forever. They have delivered themselves over to luxuries and the deceit of this world. Among them there is no return to life through repentance because they have added to their other sins and blasphemed the name of the Lord. Such men, therefore, are appointed unto death. And the sheep which you saw not leaping, but feeding in one place, are they who have delivered themselves over to luxury and deceit but have committed no blasphemy against the Lord. These have been perverted from the truth. Among them there is the hope of repentance, by which it is possible to live. Corruption, then, has a hope of a kind of renewal, but death has everlasting ruin." (Shepherd of Hermas III:6:2)
