Similitude 10.2.1I said to him, “Ask him himself, sir, whether, since he has been in my house, I have done anything out of order by which I offended him.”
Similitude 10.2.2He said, “I myself know that you have done nothing out of order and will do nothing so. This is why I speak these things with you, so that you may persevere. For he has given me a good report of you. But you shall speak these words to the others, so that those who have repented or are going to repent may also think the same things as you, and he may give a good account of them to me, and I to the Lord.”
Similitude 10.2.3I said, “Sir, I myself declare the Lord’s mighty deeds to every person. I hope that all who sinned before, if they hear these things, will gladly repent and regain life.”
Similitude 10.2.4He said, “Remain, therefore, in this ministry and complete it. All who carry out his commandments will have life, and he will have great honor before the Lord. But all who do not keep his commandments flee from their own life and against him. They do not follow his commandments, but hand themselves over to death, and each of them becomes guilty of his own blood. But I tell you to serve these commandments, and you will have healing for your sins.
