3 Those on whom the Spirit of life will alight, and whom he will empower, they will be saved and become perfect, and they will be deserving of the Greatness, and in that place, they will be made clean of all evil, as well as participation in evil. (APJ) 4 Therefore, because they possess no concern other than solely indestructibility, on which they will concentrate from this time on, without wrath, or envy or jealousy, or lust and greed for anything, they will not be troubled by anything except only the condition of fleshly existence, which they will cope with by waiting expectantly for the time when they will be greeted «26» by the receivers. (APJ) 5 These kind, then, are deserving of the indestructible, eternal life, and the election, because they withstand all and endure all, so that they can complete the good and inherit eternal life.” (APJ) 6 I asked him: “Lord, the souls of those who will not have performed these works, on whom the power ‹and› Spirit of life had descended.” (APJ) 7 “They will be saved despite this, and they will reform, because the power will descend on all people, because apart from it no one can endure. (APJ) 8 However, after being born, then, as the Spirit of life increases, and the power arrives and strengthens that soul, no one will be able to lead it astray with evil deeds. (APJ)
