17 And not a name, excepting that of him who shall betray, will ever be disgraced.
18 I go my way, and though my flesh shall pass, my soul will stand beside you all the way to guide and bless.
19 And wicked men will seize you in the streets, and as you kneel in prayer; will charge you with some legal crime, and think they serve their God by putting you to death.
20 But falter not; the load will heavy be, but with the consciousness of duty done, the peace of God will lift the load, dispel the pain and light the way.
21 And we will meet where carnal executioners come not; there we will serve the cruel men, who in their ignorance had tortured us to death.
22 Can we prevent this outrage and this slaughter of our lives? If not we are but creatures of the ebb and flow of carnal things. It would not be a sacrifice of life.
23 But we are masters of the things of time. Lo, we can speak, and all the spirits of the fire, water, earth and air will stand in our defense.
24 We can command and many legions of the angel world would come and strike our enemies to earth.
25 But it is best that not a power of heaven or earth should come to our relief. And it is best that even God should veil his face and seem to hear us not.
26 As I am pattern unto you, so you are patterns for the human race. We show by non-resistance that we give our lives in willing sacrifice for man.
