Man's guilt and God's goodness.

Matthew 20: 1-16
Revised Collect:
Lord, favorably hear our prayers, that we who deserve to be punished for our sin, may instead be mercifully delivered by Your goodness, for the glory of Your Name; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, ever one God, now and forever.
Original Collect:
O Lord, we beseech thee favorably to hear the prayers of thy people; that we, who are justly punished for our offences, may be mercifully delivered by thy goodness, for the glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end.
