Pastor de Hermas 43

1SOBRE A CONSTRUÇÃO DA TORRE: Disse-me ele: Lembras-te da torre que te foi mostrada sendo construída sobre as águas com pedras quadradas e brilhantes?

1ON THE BUILDING OF THE TOWER: He said to me: Do you remember the tower showed to you being built upon waters with square and bright stones?

2A torre é a Igreja, e as pedras são os servos de Deus que entram nela.

2The tower is the Church, and the stones are the servants of God who enter into it.

3As pedras das profundezas são os que morreram pela justiça e foram batizados.

3The stones from the depths are those who died for righteousness and were baptized.

4E as pedras da terra são os que entraram recentemente na fé de Deus.

4And the stones from the earth are those who recently entered the faith of God.
