43. Who glorifies the Father, and saves all the works of His hands,
except those sons of perdition who deny the Son after the Father
has revealed Him;
44. Wherefore, He saves all except them; they shall go away into
everlasting punishment, which is endless punishment, which is
eternal punishment, to reign with the devil and his angels in
eternity, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched,
which is their torment;
45. And the end thereof, neither the place thereof, nor their
torment, no man knows,
46. Neither was it revealed, neither is, neither will be revealed
unto man, except to them who are made partakers thereof:
47. Nevertheless, I, the Lord, show it by vision unto many, but
straightway shut it up again;
48. Wherefore the end, the width, the height, the depth, and the
misery thereof, they understand not, neither any man except those
who are ordained unto this condemnation.
49. And we heard the voice, saying, Write the vision, for lo! this
is the end of the vision of the sufferings of the ungodly.
50. And again, we bear record, for we saw and heard, and this is
the testimony of the Gospel of Christ concerning them who shall
come forth in the resurrection of the just;
51. They are they who received the testimony of Jesus, and believed
on His name and were baptized after the manner of His burial, being
{249} buried in the water in His name, and this according to the
commandment which he has given,
52. That by keeping the commandments they might be washed and
cleansed from all their sins, and receive the Holy Spirit by the
laying on of the hands of him who is ordained and sealed unto this
power,
53. And who overcome by faith, and are sealed by the Holy Spirit of
promise, which the Father sheds forth upon all those who are just
and true.
54. They are they who are the church of the Firstborn.
55. They are they into whose hands the Father hath given all
things--
56. They are they who are Priests and Kings, who have received of
His fullness, and of His glory,
57. And are Priests of the Most High, after the order of
Melchisedek, which was after the order of Enoch, which was after
the order of the Only Begotten Son;
58. Wherefore, as it is written, they are Gods, even the sons of
God--
59. Wherefore all things are theirs, whether life or death, or
things present, or things to come, all are theirs and they are
Christ's and Christ is God's.
60. And they shall overcome all things;
61. Wherefore let no man glory in man, but rather let him glory in
God, who shall subdue all enemies under his feet--
62. These shall dwell in the presence of God and His Christ for
ever and ever.
63. These are they whom He shall bring with Him, when He shall come
in the clouds of heaven to reign on earth over His people.
