33. (VI.) The quality of the good which is of charity is according to the cognizance and hence removal of evil by repentance. [That is] according as a man knows, more or less, what is evil; according as he knows evils of faith and evils of life; and according to how he desists from them; and he desists from them as far as he looks to the Lord, and believes on Him.
