Syriac Apocalypse

Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

And it will come to pass in those days that the reapers will not grow weary, nor those that build be toilworn; for the works will of themselves speedily advance with those who do them in much tranquillity.

2For that time is the consummation of that which is corruptible, and the beginning of that which is not corruptible.

3Therefore those things which were predicted will belong to it: therefore it is far away from evils, and near to those things which die not.

4This is the bright lightning which came after the last dark waters."
