A brother asked Abba. Poemen, saying, ' Tell me, why it is that when I offer repentance to a brother who is wroth with me I do not see him pleased with me?' The old man said to him, ' Tell me truly: when you offer to him repentance have you not the opinion that you are not doing it because you have sinned against him, but because of the commandment ?' And the brother said to him, ' It is even thus.' The old man said to him, ' Because of this God does not permit him to be pleased with you, and because you do not offer repentance to him in fulfilment of your own desire, but as if you hadst not sinned against him, but he had sinned against you.'
