and the revelation of the soul,
so that they might understand
the words of God,
and that they might know to what time
He has kept them,
and how their sins
are repaid to them,
and how they are delivered
from sin,
and how it is right for them
that they should be before Him,
before God, in fear,
and in righteousness,
and in chastity,
and in love, one towards
another, and towards
God, and that they should be
perfected in all
the commandments of God,
and that they should be
partakers
in the sufferings of Christ,
and that they should be
partakers
in His glory,
and that they should be
partakers
in life eternal,
and that they should be
partakers
in the kingdom
of God.

like the words of the prophets
who said, who spoke
in their words, and said,
"God shall not forsake
you,
and He shall not abandon
you, but
He shall deliver you
from the hands
of your enemies,
and from the hands
of all
your haters,
and He shall not leave
you, that you may be
food
for the beasts,
and He shall not leave
you, that you may be
plunder
for the nations,
but He shall deliver
you, and He shall save
you from
all
evil,
and from all
tribulations,
and from all
sufferings,
and from all
pains,
and from all
afflictions."
