Therefore this is the teaching concerning them:
91
First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92
The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death.
93
The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the ungodly wander, and the punishment that awaits them.
