1
I swear unto you that in heaven the angels remember you for good before the
glory of the Great One: and your names are written before the glory of the Great
One.
2
Be hopeful; for aforetime ye were put to shame through ill and affliction; but
now ye shall shine as the lights of heaven, ye shall shine and ye shalll be seen,
and the portals of heaven shall be opened to you.
3
And in your cry, cry for judgement, and it shall appear to you; for all your
tribulation shall be visited on the rulers, and on all who helped those who
plundered you.
4
Be hopeful, and cast not away your hopes for ye shall have great joy as the
angels of heaven.
5
What shall ye be obliged to do?
6
Ye shall not have to hide on the day of the great judgement and ye shall not be
found as sinners, and the eternal judgement shall be far from you for all the
generations of the world.
7
And now fear not, ye righteous, when ye see the sinners growing strong and
prospering in their ways, be not companions with them, but keep afar from their
violence; For ye shall become companions of the hosts of heaven.
8
And, although the sinners say: "All our sins shall not be searched out and be
written down," nevertheless they shall write down all your sins every day.
9
And now I show unto you that light and darkness, day and night, see all your
sins.
10
Be not godless in your hearts, and lie not and alter not the words of
uprightness, nor charge with lying the words of the Holy Great One, nor take
account of your idols; for all your lying and all your godlessness issue not in
righteousness but in great sin.
11
And now I know this mystery, that sinners will alter and pervert the words of
righteousness in many ways, and will speak wicked words, and lie, and practice
great deceits, and write books concerning their words.
12
But when they write down truthfully all my words in their languages, and do
not change or minish ought from my words but write them all down truthfully −
all that I first testified concerning them.
13
Then, I know another mystery, that books will be given to the righteous and
the wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom.
14
And to them shall the books be given, and they shall believe in them and
rejoice over them and then shall all the righteous who have learnt therefrom all
the paths of uprightness be recompensed.
15
In those days the Lord bade to summon and testify to the children of earth
concerning their wisdom: "Show unto them; for ye are their guides and a
recompense over the whole earth.
16
For I and My son will be united with them for ever in the paths of uprightness
in their lives; and ye shall have peace: rejoice, ye children of uprightness.
Amen."
