8:46 Then answered he me, and said, Things present are for the present, and things to cometh for such as be to come.
8:47 For thou comest far short that thou shouldest be able to love my creature more than I: but I have ofttimes drawn nigh unto thee, and unto it, but never to the unrighteous.
8:48 In this also thou art marvellous before the most High:
8:49 In that thou hast humbled thyself, as it becometh thee, and hast not judged thyself worthy to be much glorified among the righteous.
8:50 For many great miseries shall be done to them that in the latter time shall dwell in the world, because they have walked in great pride.
8:51 But understand thou for thyself, and seek out the glory for such as be like thee.
8:52 For unto you is paradise opened, the tree of life is planted, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, and rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness and wisdom.
8:53 The root of evil is sealed up from you, weakness and the moth is hid from you, and corruption is fled into hell to be forgotten:
8:54 Sorrows are passed, and in the end is shewed the treasure of immortality.
8:55 And therefore ask thou no more questions concerning the multitude of them that perish.
