8
Lay up in your heart the signs that I have shown you, the dreams that you have seen, and the interpretations that you have heard;
9
for you shall be taken up from among men, and henceforth you shall live with my Son and with those who are like you, until the times are ended.
10
For the age has lost its youth, and the times begin to grow old.
11
For the age is divided into twelve parts, and nine of its parts have already passed,
12
as well as half of the tenth part; so two of its parts remain, besides half of the tenth part.
13
Now therefore, set your house in order, and reprove your people; comfort the lowly among them, and instruct those that are wise. And now renounce the life that is corruptible,
14
and put away from you mortal thoughts; cast away from you the burdens of man, and divest yourself now of your weak nature,
15
and lay to one side the thoughts that are most grievous to you, and hasten to escape from these times.
16
For evils worse than those which you have now seen happen shall be done hereafter.
17
For the weaker the world becomes through old age, the more shall evils be multiplied among its inhabitants.
