"Do you see how the Lord created our nature to enjoy free will? I
mean, how did it happen, tell me, that while those people showed
enthusiasm for wickedness and rendered themselves liable to
punishment, this man [Noe] opted for virtue, shunned association with
those and thus felt no effect of punishment? Is it not crystal clear
that each person chose wickedness or virtue of his own volition? You
see, if that were not the case and independence did not have its roots
in our nature, those people would not have been punished nor the
others receive reward for their virtue. Since, however, everything has
been allowed to remain with our choice owing to grace from on high,
punishment duly awaits the sinners, and reward and recompense those
who practice virtue."
St. John Chrysostom.

The Bible reading for the 23rd of Toba, February 1st, is:
20 Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the
world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be
turned into joy. 21 A woman, when she is in labor, has sorrow because
her hour has come; but as soon as she has given birth to the child,
she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has
been born into the world. 22 Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will
see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will
take from you. 23 And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most
assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He
will give you. 24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask,
and you will receive, that your joy may be full. 25 These things I
have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when
I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell
you plainly about the Father. 26 In that day you will ask in My name,
and I do not say to you that I shal
l pray the Father for you; 27 for the Father Himself loves you,
because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from
God. 28 I came forth from the Father and have come into the world.
Again, I leave the world and go to the Father. 29 His disciples said
to Him, See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of
speech! 30 Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need
that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came
forth from God. 31 Jesus answered them, Do you now believe? 32 Indeed
the hour is coming, yes, has now come, that you will be scattered,
each to his own, and will leave Me alone. And yet I am not alone,
because the Father is with Me. 33 These things I have spoken to you,
that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation;
but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. (John 16:20-33)
