De modo que debes reconocer la bondad y también la dureza de Dios, pues fue duro con los caídos, pero es bondadoso contigo siempre que confíes en su bondad, de lo contrario también serías cortado.

¿Qué significa esto?

This verse from Romans says that God is both merciful and strict. He was stern with those who disobeyed, but he's kind to us if we stay faithful; otherwise, even we could lose his favor.
