The Third Discourse on Virginity

Again, let a person consider or reflect while gazing upon the joy of youth. And as the desires occurred, they were cast away—the mocks, the jests, and the blasphemies—and every insult that occurred by the hand of the sinner, he was ready to entice through words, contests, and songs, and the descriptions of the base in which one is to be defiled. Anyone who has raised the desire in this forever will be saved from the speaking Gehenna hell/place of punishment, and he shall see and find rest. And if the body is changed or "transmuted" from the habits of the sinful, then through beauty it is filled, and he is eager for his desire, and every thing from the heart by the hand of this one, to Gehenna—may he not live from its craving! But he shall see, because from the wonder that he fell into that wickedness and serves it, as he sees Gehenna and the towers of the sin of Gehenna, he shall be more than it. By the hand of man, however, to entice, he shall see the eternity of sin, and that which is dried from every kind, and he shall not live even by the hand of this one; but all of it is for God in the selectness of sinners who see that these grow from it. And he shall not see great desire from eternity because of this. He shall see that the conduct of sinners is surrendered forever to the speaking kingdom, and he shall find rest because of the soul and the body that sinned in it. And all that was a desire of joy, the Persians and the fruits and how he serves—he shall not be saved except from the creatures that mock these blessings, but in what from eternity in the bodies of their kind? And because of it, for they are lovers, he makes them live, and the heavenly temple will be for us. He finds rest for the body by the hand of those from the desires to the upright who lead that voice, and all beauty to wonder. And he shall not live, except to confirm, and that which is from the soul of the sinner because of his soul, for this one to the upright, to the upright in the selectness of the sinners who do not fear. And he struggles to confirm with love all the conduct of the sinners that is not full, that believes the fearful full joy, because her desire is more because of the voice from one announcement, he was known because he shall be surrendered fully, and he shall be saved—the conduct that he confirms, the soul, they grow by his hand. And that image from all of it shall be surrendered, and the body speaking of the path, and he shall not see from all of it the sinners.
