And after the young men left and we were alone, she said to me: Sit here. I said: Lady, let the elders sit first.
2She said: Do what I tell you; sit down. Then when I wanted to sit on the right side, she did not allow it, but signaled me with her hand to sit on her left.
3While I was thinking about this and was sad because she did not let me sit on the right, she said: Are you sad, Hermas? The place on the right is for others, for those who have already pleased God and suffered for the Name.
4But you lack many things to sit with them. But remain as you are, in your simplicity, and you will sit with them, together with all who have practiced their works and endured what they endured.
