A sinner suffereth for each separate sin.
Iesus answered:
"Yea, he will receive it; if he hath committed three sins, he will receive chastisement for three."
2. Even the greatest of sinners, if he change, shall inherit the kingdom.
John said:
"A man who hath committed all sins and all iniquities, but at last hath found the mysteries (of the Light) is it possible for him to be saved?"
Iesus said:
"Such a man who hath committed all sins and all iniquities, and he findeth the mysteries (of the Light) and performeth and fulfilleth them and ceaseth not nor doeth sins, will inherit the Treasury (of the Light)."
3. Of the time favourable for the birth of those who shall find the mysteries.
Iesus said unto his disciples:
"When the sphere turneth itself, and Kronos and Arēs come behind the Virgin (of Light) and Zeus and Aphrodite come in face (of the Virgin) they being in their own æons, then the veils (of the Virgin) draw themselves aside and she falleth into joy in that hour when she seeth these two light-stars before her. And all the souls which she shall cast at that hour into the circuit of the æons (of the sphere), that they may come into the world, will be righteous and good and find at this time the mysteries (of the Light); she sendeth them anew that they may find the mysteries (of the Light).
"If (on the other hand) Arēs and Kronos come in face (of the Virgin) and Zeus and Aphroditē behind her, so that she seeth them not, then all the souls which she shall cast in that hour into the creatures (of the sphere), will be wicked and wrathful and do not find the mysteries (of the Light)."
4. The disciples beseech Iesus to have mercy upon them.
When then Iesus said this unto his disciples in the midst of the Amente, the disciples cried and wept, {saying}:
"Woe, woe unto sinners, on whom the negligence and the forgetfulness (of the rulers) lie until they come out of the body and are led to these chastisements! Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, son of the Holy {One}, and have compassion with us, that we may be saved from these chastisements and these judgments (which are prepared for the sinners); for we also have sinned, our Lord and our Light."
