Therefore let us ask that whatever transgressions we have fallen into and whatever we have done through any working of the adversary may be forgiven us. And those who became leaders of rebellion and division ought to consider the hope we all share.
For those who live in fear and love would rather expose themselves to suffering than their neighbors; they would rather bear condemnation themselves than bring it upon the noble and righteous harmony handed down to us.
For it is good for a person to confess his transgressions rather than harden his heart, just as the hearts of those who rebelled against Moses, the servant of God, were hardened. Their judgment was made plain,
for “they went down alive into Hades,” and “death will shepherd them.”
Pharaoh and his army, all the rulers of Egypt, their chariots and riders, were sunk in the Red Sea and perished for no other reason than that their senseless hearts were hardened after the signs and wonders had taken place in the land of Egypt through Moses, the servant of God.
