2 Esdras 7:135

135 I know that he is called generous, because he wants to give gifts rather than demand them,

2 Esdras 7:135 In-Context

133 gracious, since he has mercy on those who convert to his Law,

134 and patient, because he shows patience to those who have sinned, since they are his own creation.

135 I know that he is called generous, because he wants to give gifts rather than demand them,

136 and very merciful, because he multiplies mercies more and more to those now alive and those who went before and those who are to come in the future.

137 If, indeed, he hadn't multiplied them, the world with those who live in it would not now exist.
