The first parable: When the assembly of the righteous shall be revealed, and sinners judged for their crimes, and be punished in the sight of the world;
2When righteousness shall be revealed in the presence of the righteous themselves, who will be chosen for the sake of their good works weighed by the Lord of spirits, and when the light of the righteous and the elect who dwell on earth shall be revealed, where will the habitation of sinners be, and where the place of peace for those who have forsaken the Lord of spirits, it would have been better for them if they never had been born.
3Also when the secrets of the righteous shall be disclosed, then sinners shall be judged, and ungodly men shall be grieved in the presence of the righteous and the elect.
4From that time they who possess the earth shall not be mighty and elevated, nor shall they be able to behold the faces of the holy, for the light of the faces of the holy, the righteous, and the elect, has been seen by the Lord of spirits.
5Yet the mighty kings of that time shall not be destroyed, but shall be given into the hands of the righteous and the holy.
6And from that time none shall obtain compassion from the Lord of spirits, because their lives in this world will be terminated.
