Chapter 17  
     
1.
 I now began to utter the third parable, concerning the saints and the elect.
  
2.
 Blessed are you, O saints and elect, for glorious is your lot.
  
3.
 The saints shall exist in the light of the sun, and the elect in the light of everlasting life, the days of whose life shall never terminate; nor shall the days of the saints be numbered, who seek for light, and obtain righteousness with the Lord of spirits.
  
4.
 Peace be to the saints with the Lord of the world.
  
5.
 Henceforward shall the saints be told to seek in heaven the secrets of righteousness, the portion of faith; for like the sun has it arisen upon the earth, while darkness has passed away.
 
6.
 There shall be light interminable; nor shall they enter upon the enumeration of time; for darkness shall be previously destroyed, and light shall increase before the Lord of spirits; before the Lord of spirits shall the light of uprightness increase for ever and ever.
  
7.
 In those days my eyes beheld the secrets of the lightnings and the splendours, and the judgment belonging to them.
  
8.
 They lighten for a blessing and for a curse, according to the will of the Lord of spirits.
  
9.
 And there I saw the secrets of the thunder, when it rattles above in heaven, and its sound is heard.
  
10.
 The habitations also of the earth were shown to me.
 
11.
 The sound of the thunder is for peace and for blessing, as well as for a curse, according to the word of the Lord of spirits.
  
12.
 Afterwards every secret of the splendours and of the lightnings was seen by me. For blessing and for fertility they lighten.
