REPENTANCE AND THE REMISSION OF SINS
(pt. 2)
He who only acknowledges universally that he is a sinner, and makes himself guilty of all evils, and yet does not explore himself, that is, see his own sins, makes confession, but not the confession of repentance; he, because he does not know his own evils, lives afterwards as he did before.
(The New Jerusalem and Its Heavenly Doctrine 162)
