Apocalypse of Peter 1

Vision of Hell

The Savior was seated in the Temple, He — the Undefiled Magnitude — said to me:

2'Peter, blessed are those who are sons of the Father who is in heaven, those who proceed from life and to whom He unveiled life through my mediation.'

3'For I caused them to remember. They are built upon solid foundations to hear my word and distinguish the words of injustice and transgression of the Law from the words of Righteousness.'

4'For they proceed from above, from every word of the fullness of Truth, they were graciously illuminated by Him who is sought without being found.'

5'He appeared then among them, openly, appeared in him who is Son of Man, who rises beyond the heavens, to the fear of men who love the goods of this world.'

6'But you, Peter, be strong! Become perfect, in conformity with your name and with me, who am He who chose you; in you I established the beginning also for the others whom I called to knowledge.'

7'Therefore, be strong, imitating the Righteousness of Him who called you. For He called you so that you might know Him in a worthy manner.'
