      ³² They are they who are the sons of perdition, of whom I say that it had been better for them never to have been born;

      ³³ For they are vessels of wrath, doomed to suffer the wrath of God, with the devil and his angels in eternity;

      ³⁴ Concerning whom I have said there is no forgiveness in this world nor in the world to come

      ³⁵ Having denied the Holy Spirit after having received it, and having denied the Only Begotten Son of the Father, having crucified him unto themselves and put him to an open shame.

      ³⁶ These are they who shall go away into the lake of fire and brimstone, with the devil and his angels

      ³⁷ And the only ones on whom the second death shall have any power;

      ³⁸ Yea, verily, the only ones who shall not be redeemed in the due time of the Lord, after the sufferings of his wrath.

      ³⁹ For all the rest shall be brought forth by the resurrection of the dead, through the triumph and the glory of the Lamb, who was slain, who was in the bosom of the Father before the worlds were made.

      ⁴⁰ And this is the gospel, the glad tidings, which the voice out of the heavens bore record unto us

      ⁴¹ That he came into the world, even Jesus, to be crucified for the world, and to bear the sins of the world, and to sanctify the world, and to cleanse it from all unrighteousness;

      ⁴² That through him all might be saved whom the Father had put into his power and made by him;

      ⁴³ Who glorifies the Father, and saves all the works of his hands, except those sons of perdition who deny the Son after the Father has revealed him.

      ⁴⁴ Wherefore, he saves all except themthey shall go away into everlasting punishment, which is endless punishment, which is eternal punishment, to reign with the devil and his angels in eternity, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched, which is their torment

      ⁴⁵ And the end thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their torment, no man knows;

      ⁴⁶ Neither was it revealed, neither is, neither will be revealed unto man, except to them who are made partakers thereof;

      ⁴⁷ Nevertheless, I, the Lord, show it by vision unto many, but straightway shut it up again;

      ⁴⁸ Wherefore, the end, the width, the height, the depth, and the misery thereof, they understand not, neither any man except those who are ordained unto this condemnation.

      ⁴⁹ And we heard the voice, saying: Write the vision, for lo, this is the end of the vision of the sufferings of the ungodly.

      ⁵⁰ And again we bear recordfor we saw and heard, and this is the testimony of the gospel of Christ concerning them who shall come forth in the resurrection of the just

      ⁵¹ They are they who received the testimony of Jesus, and believed on his name and were baptized after the manner of his burial, being buried in the water in his name, and this according to the commandment which he has given

      ⁵² That by keeping the commandments they might be washed and cleansed from all their sins, and receive the Holy Spirit by the laying on of the hands of him who is ordained and sealed unto this power;

      ⁵³ And who overcome by faith, and are sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, which the Father sheds forth upon all those who are just and true.

      ⁵⁴ They are they who are the church of the Firstborn.

      ⁵⁵ They are they into whose hands the Father has given all things

      ⁵⁶ They are they who are priests and kings, who have received of his fulness, and of his glory;

      ⁵⁷ And are priests of the Most High, after the order of Melchizedek, which was after the order of Enoch, which was after the order of the Only Begotten Son.

      ⁵⁸ Wherefore, as it is written, they are gods, even the sons of God

      ⁵⁹ Wherefore, all things are theirs, whether life or death, or things present, or things to come, all are theirs and they are Christ's, and Christ is God's.

      ⁶⁰ And they shall overcome all things.

      ⁶¹ Wherefore, let no man glory in man, but rather let him glory in God, who shall subdue all enemies under his feet.

      ⁶² These shall dwell in the presence of God and his Christ forever and ever.

      ⁶³ These are they whom he shall bring with him, when he shall come in the clouds of heaven to reign on the earth over his people.

      ⁶⁴ These are they who shall have part in the first resurrection.

      ⁶⁵ These are they who shall come forth in the resurrection of the just.

      ⁶⁶ These are they who are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.

      ⁶⁷ These are they who have come to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of Enoch, and of the Firstborn.

      ⁶⁸ These are they whose names are written in heaven, where God and Christ are the judge of all.

      ⁶⁹ These are they who are just men made perfect through Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, who wrought out this perfect atonement through the shedding of his own blood.

      ⁷⁰ These are they whose bodies are celestial, whose glory is that of the sun, even the glory of God, the highest of all, whose glory the sun of the firmament is written of as being typical.

      ⁷¹ And again, we saw the terrestrial world, and behold and lo, these are they who are of the terrestrial, whose glory differs from that of the church of the Firstborn who have received the fulness of the Father, even as that of the moon differs from the sun in the firmament.

      ⁷² Behold, these are they who died without law;

      ⁷³ And also they who are the spirits of men kept in prison, whom the Son visited, and preached the gospel unto them, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh;

      ⁷⁴ Who received not the testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but afterwards received it.

      ⁷⁵ These are they who are honorable men of the earth, who were blinded by the craftiness of men.

      ⁷⁶ These are they who receive of his glory, but not of his fulness.

      ⁷⁷ These are they who receive of the presence of the Son, but not of the fulness of the Father.

      ⁷⁸ Wherefore, they are bodies terrestrial, and not bodies celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun.

      ⁷⁹ These are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus; wherefore, they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God.
