1It is good, therefore, having learned the decrees of the Lord, to walk in them.
2For he who does these things shall be glorified in the kingdom of God.
3And he who chooses the other things shall perish together with his works.
4For this there is resurrection, for this there is recompense.
5I beseech those who are in high position, if you will accept my well-intended counsel.
6Have among you those to whom you can do good. Do not cease.
7The day is near in which all things shall perish together with the evil one.
8The Lord is near and his reward.
