The our absolute redemption will be when there will be no sin...
....Now we have our life in the world, we are liable to many accidents, and are living among ungodly men. But our absolute redemption will be when there will be no sin, no human sufferings, when we will not be indiscriminately mixed with all kinds of people.
At present, however, there is but an earnest, because now we are far distant from these blessings. Yet our citizenship is not on earth; even now we are out of the pale of the things that are here below. Yes we are sojourners even now.
St John Chrysostom
