1The angel answered and said to me: Do you see all these things?
2And I said: Yes, sir.
3And he said to me: Follow me again, and I will take you and show you the places of the righteous.
4And I followed the angel and he took me up to the third heaven and placed me before the entrance of a door.
5And I looked and saw, and the door was of gold, and there were two golden columns full of golden letters.
6And the angel turned to me and said: Blessed are you, if you enter through these gates.
7Because it is not permitted to enter except those who have kept the goodness and purity of their bodies in all things.
8And I asked the angel and said: Lord, tell me for what reason these letters are placed on these columns?
9The angel answered and said to me: These are the names of the righteous who minister to God with all their heart, who dwell on the earth.
10And again I said: Lord, then also their names and faces are like those who serve God in heaven?
11And they are known by the angels, for they know that these with all their heart serve God before they leave the world.
