"'Therefore, everyone who wants to be saved must not only stop doing evil, also work at what is good, as it says in the psalm, ‘Turn away from evil and do good.’ Mark what is says. Not only ‘turn from evil’, but also ‘do good’! For example: If a man was used to being unjust, he wants not only to stop being unjust but to act with justice continually. If a man was used to always to be angry, he wants not only to stop being angry but to cultivate mildness. If he was bold and insolent, he must not only give it up, but he must act with humility. This is to turn away from evil and to do good. Each of the vices has its contrary virtue. Pride has humility, avarice has almsgiving; licentiousness, self-discipline; neglect, perseverance; anger has meekness; hatred, love. In short, I repeat, every vice has its contrary virtue.'"
