Mary again said: "My Lord, what is the judgment of the murderer who sheddeth human blood?"

2The Saviour answered: "The murderer, when he goeth forth out of the body, the receivers of Yaldabaoth seize his soul and cast it into the abyss of blood and fire.

3"And they torture it with arrows of flame and violent torments, and thereafter cast it into the belly of the dragon of the outer darkness, where it weepeth and gnasheth its teeth for many ages."
