6.12

Truly, my children in the Lord, I ask my Creator day and night, from whom I have received the Spirit entrusted to me, that He may open the eyes of your hearts to know the love I have for you, and open the hearing of your souls so that you may behold your own confusion. For whoever knows his own disgrace will then seek his chosen glory as well, and whoever knows his own death will also know his eternal life.

I speak to you as to wise people, truly, my children, because I fear that hunger may overtake us on the way, in the very place where we could become rich if we wished. I had wanted to see you face to face in the body, but now I await the time that is near, when we will be able to behold one another directly, when pain, sorrow, and groaning have fled away and exultation is upon the heads of all.

There are many other things I would like to say, but if I give an opportunity to a wise person, he will become wiser. I greet all my dearly loved children in the Lord, each by name.
