Mary Magdalene came forward and said: "My Lord, what is the judgment of an infant that dieth before it hath done any good or any evil in the world?"

2Jesus answered: "When a little child that hath not sinned departeth from the body, the receivers of the Virgin of Light take its soul and lead it into the realm of the righteous.

3"And because it hath not received the mysteries of the Light, they let it down into a righteous body that will find the mysteries of the Light-kingdom, so that it may inherit the Kingdom for ever."
