Apocalypse of Paul 3

Visio Pauli

Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

While I was in the body in which I was snatched up to the third heaven, the word of the Lord came to me saying: speak to the people: until when will ye transgress, and heap sin upon sin, and tempt the Lord who made you?

2Ye are the sons of God, doing the works of the devil in the faith of Christ, on account of the impediments of the world.

3Remember therefore and know that while every creature serves God, the human race alone sins.

4But it reigns over every creature and sins more than all nature.
