2 Esdras 7:90 In-Context

88 "Now let me explain about those who followed the ways of God Most High and what will happen when the time comes for them to leave their mortal bodies.

90 This is what they will receive:

92 The first joy is to have struggled hard and won the victory over the evil impulse which was formed in them, but which did not succeed in leading them from life into death.
