Apocrypha · Chapter 9 of 42
Odae Solomontos
Open your ears and I will speak to you.
2Give me yourself, so that I may give to you myself.
3The word of the Lord and his will, the holy thought he thought concerning you.
4For the will of the Lord is your life, and his purpose is eternal life.
5And your end is immortality.
6Be rich in God the Father, and receive the purpose of the Most High.
7Be strong and redeemed by his grace.
