Thereafter shall the angels bring mine elect and righteous which are perfect in all uprightness, and bear them in their hands, and clothe them with the raiment of the life that is above.

2They shall see their desire on them that hated them, when he punisheth them, and the torment of every one shall be for ever according to his works.

3And all they that are in torment shall say with one voice: Have mercy upon us, for now know we the judgement of God, which he declared unto us aforetime, and we believed not.

4And the angel Tatîrōkos (Tartaruchus, keeper of hell: a word corresponding in formation to Temeluchus) shall come and chastise them with yet greater torment, and say unto them: Now do ye repent, when it is no longer the time for repentance, and nought of life remaineth.

5And they shail say: Righteous is the judgement of God, for we have heard and perceived that his judgement is good; for we are recompensed according to our deeds.

6Then will I give unto mine elect and righteous the washing (baptism) and the salvation for which they have besought me, in the field of Akrosja (Acherousia) which is called Anēslaslejā (Elysium).

7They shall adorn with flowers the portion of the righteous, and I shall go . . .

8I shall rejoice with them.

9I will cause the peoples to enter in to mine everlasting kingdom, and show them that eternal thing (life?) whereon I have made them to set their hope, even I and my Father which is in heaven.

10I have spoken this unto thee, Peter, and declared it unto thee.

11Go forth therefore and go unto the land (or city) of the west, and enter into the vineyard which I shall tell thee of, in order that by the sickness (sufferings) of the Son who is without sin the deeds of corruption may be sanctified.

12As for thee, thou art chosen according to the promise which I have given thee.

13Spread thou therefore my gospel throughout all the world in peace.

14Verily men shall rejoice: my words shall be the source of hope and of life, and suddenly shall the world be ravished.
