[[SECT. IX.ⓘ]]
[1] I now began to utter the third parable, concerning the saints and the elect.
[2] Blessed are ye, O saints and elect, for glorious is your lot.
[3] The saints shall exist in the light of the sun, and the elect in the light of everlasting life, the days of whose life shall never terminate; nor shall the days of the saints be numbered, who seek for light, and obtain righteousness with the Lord of spirits.
[4] Peace be to the saints with the Lord of the world.
[5] Henceforward shall the saints be told to seek in heaven the secrets of righteousness, the portion of faith; for like the sun has it arisen upon the earth, while darkness has passed away. There shall be light interminable:ⓘ nor shall they enter upon the enumeration of time; for darkness shall be previously destroyed, and light shall increase before the Lord of spirits; before the Lord of spirits shall the light of uprightness increase for ever.
