This I swear unto you: in heaven the angels remember you for good, in the presence of the Glory of the Great One.
2Wait, for though at first ye were afflicted with disgrace and suffering, now ye shall shine as the lights of heaven; ye shall appear and shine, and the gate of heaven shall be opened before you.
3With your cry, cry out for judgement, and it shall appear unto you; for all your tribulation shall be visited upon the rulers, and upon all who helped those that despoiled you.
4Wait, and give not up your hope, for ye shall have great joy, even as the angels of heaven.
5What must ye do? Ye shall have no need to hide on the day of the great judgement, ye shall not be found among the sinners, and the eternal judgement shall fall far from you, for all the generations of the world.
6Now fear not, O ye righteous, when ye see the sinners grow strong and prosper in their ways, neither be their companions, but keep yourselves far from their violence, for ye shall become companions of the hosts of heaven.
7Though ye sinners say, None of our sins shall be searched out nor recorded, yet your sins are counted every day.
8Now I show unto you that light and darkness, day and night, come upon you all.
9Be not wicked in your hearts, lie not, neither alter the word of truth, nor accuse the word of the Holy and Great One of falsehood, nor set store by your idols, for all your lies and impieties shall not be reckoned unto you as righteousness, but as a great sin.
10Now I know this mystery: sinners shall alter and pervert the word of truth in many ways, and shall utter wicked words, and shall lie, and invent great falsehoods, and write books concerning their own words.
11But if they write down truly all my words in their own tongues, and neither alter nor abridge my words, but write all things according to the truth, I will bear witness of all this beforehand on their behalf.
12I know another mystery: the scriptures shall be given to the righteous and to the wise, to bring joy, righteousness, and much wisdom.
13The scriptures shall be given unto them; they shall believe and rejoice in them, and all the righteous shall be glad, learning from them all the ways of righteousness.
