64. These are they who shall have part in the first resurrection.
65. These are they who shall come forth in the resurrection of the
just.
66. These are they who are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city
of the living God, the heavenly place, the holiest of all.
67. These are they who have come to an innumerable company of
angels, to the general assembly and church of Enoch, and of the
Firstborn.
68. These are they whose names are written in heaven, where God and
Christ are the Judge of all.
69. These are they who are just men made perfect through Jesus
the Mediator of the new covenant, who wrought out this perfect
atonement through the shedding of His own blood.
70. These are they whose bodies are celestial, whose glory is that
of the sun, even the glory of God, the highest of all, whose glory
the sun of the firmament is written of as being typical.
71. And again, we saw the terrestrial world, and behold and lo,
these are they who are of the terrestrial, whose glory differs from
that of the {250} church of the Firstborn, who have received the
fullness of the Father, even as that of the moon differs from the
sun in the firmament.
72. Behold, these are they who died without law,
73. And also they who are the spirits of men kept in prison, whom
the Son visited, and preached the Gospel unto them, that they might
be judged according to men in the flesh,
74. Who received not the testimony of Jesus in the flesh, but
afterwards received it.
75. These are they who are honorable men of the earth, who were
blinded by the craftiness of men.
76. These are they who receive of His glory, but not of His
fullness.
77. These are they who receive of the presence of the Son, but not
of the fulness of the Father;
78. Wherefore, they are bodies terrestrial, and not bodies
celestial, and differ in glory as the moon differs from the sun.
79. These are they who are not valiant in the testimony of Jesus;
wherefore they obtain not the crown over the kingdom of our God.
80. And now this is the end of the vision which we saw of the
terrestrial, that the Lord commanded us to write while we were yet
in the Spirit.
81. And again, we saw the glory of the telestial, which glory is
that of the lesser, even as the glory of the stars differs from
that of the glory of the moon in the firmament.
82. These are they who received not the Gospel of Christ, neither
the testimony of Jesus.
83. These are they who deny not the Holy Spirit.
84. These are they who are thrust down to hell.
85. These are they who shall not be redeemed from the devil, until
the last resurrection, until the Lord, even Christ the Lamb shall
have finished His work.
