Portrait of Leo Tolstoy Leo Tolstoy The Penitent Sinner

And in a little while the sinner again began to knock at the door and beg to be admitted into the Kingdom of Heaven. And for the third time a voice was heard behind the door saying: “Who is this man, and how hath he lived his life in the world?” And the voice of the Accuser answered for the third time, and recounted all the evil deeds of the man, and named no good deeds at all.
And the voice answered from behind the door and said: “Depart hence! Sinners cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.”
