Pastor de Hermas 81

1E quando as pedras eram trazidas através do portão pelas virgens, elas se tornavam brilhantes. Mas as pedras que não eram trazidas através do portão permaneciam como eram antes.

1And when the stones were brought through the gate by the virgins, they became bright. But the stones that were not brought through the gate remained as they were before.

2Então os seis homens pararam de construir por um tempo e chamaram o Pastor. E ele veio e ficou ao lado da torre.

2Then the six men stopped building for a while and called the Shepherd. And he came and stood beside the tower.

3E eles lhe disseram: 'Limpe estas pedras que foram rejeitadas e coloque-as na construção se elas puderem ser ajustadas.'

3And they said to him: 'Clean these stones that were rejected and place them in the building if they can be adjusted.'
