1
And I began to speak the third Parable concerning the righteous and elect.
2
Blessed are you, you righteous and elect, For glorious shall be your lot.
3
And the righteous shall be in the light of the sun, And the elect in the light of eternal life: The days of their life shall be unending, And the days of the set-apart without number.
4
And they shall seek the light and find righteousness with the Sovereign of Spirits: There shall be peace to the righteous in the name of the Eternal Sovereign.
5
And after this it shall be said to the set-apart in heaven That they should seek out the secrets of righteousness, the heritage of faith: For it has become bright as the sun upon earth, And the darkness is past.
6
And there shall be a light that never ends, And to a limit (lit. ‘number’) of days they shall not come, For the darkness shall first have been destroyed, [And the light established before the Sovereign of Spirits] And the light of uprightness established for ever before the Sovereign of Spirits.
