138:1
GREGORIUS. Ut asseris ita est, Petre. Sed plerulnque de culpis minimis ipse solus pavor egredientes justorum animas purgat, sicut narrari de quodam sancto viro mecum frequeuter audisti. Qui ad mortem veniens vehementer timuit, sed post mortem discipulis in stola alba apparuit, et quam praeclare sit susceptus indicavit.
GREGORY. It is as you assert, Peter. But very often fear alone, at the moment of departure, purges the souls of the just from their least faults, just as you have often heard me tell concerning a certain holy man. As he was drawing near to death he was greatly afraid, yet after his death he appeared to his disciples in a white robe and made known how gloriously he had been received.
額我略：正如你所言，伯多祿，事情確是如此。然而，臨終時單單那份畏懼，往往就能滌淨義人靈魂中最微小的過失，正如你屢次聽我講述某位聖者的事一般。那人臨死之際極為恐懼，但他死後卻身披白袍向門徒顯現，表明自己是何等榮耀地被接納了。
