The angel answered and said unto me: Hast thou perceived all these things? and I said, Yes, sir.
2And he said to me: Follow me again, and I will take thee, and show thee the places of the just.
3And I followed the angel, and he raised me to the third heaven, and placed me at the entry of the door: and looking carefully I saw, and the door was of gold, and two columns of gold, full above of golden letters, and the angel tuned again to me and said: Blessed wert thou, if thou hadst entered into these doors, for it is not allowed to any to enter except only to those who have goodness and innocence of body in all things.
4And I asked the angel about everything and said: Sir, tell me on what account these letters are put upon those tables?
5The angel answered and said unto me: These are the names of the just, serving God with their whole heart, who dwell on the earth.
6And again I said: Sir, therefore their names and countenance and the likeness of these who serve God are in heaven, and are known to the angels: for they know who are the servants of God with all their heart, before they go out of the world.
