'This is the way of the devil. Before we sin, he suffers us not to see the evil of it, lest we should repent. But after the sin is done, he suffers us to see it, to cause us remorse, and to drive us to despair' (Euthymius). Repented himself] Yet his sorrow was not of a godly nature (2 Corinthians 7:9), for it led to despair, and further sin.
