First sentence: For, as the Apostle attests, 'If any man be ignorant, he will be ignored,' that is, as a gloss explains, he will be condemned by God in the future and not in the least acknowledged by the Lord, as we read in the Gospel: that the Lord will say to the wicked and to those standing at His left hand, 'I know you not.'
