50:1 Ye see, brethren, how great and wonderful a thing love is, and how there
is no describing its perfection.
50:2 Who is sufficient to be found in it, except those whom God shall have
deemed worthy? Let us pray, therefore, and ask from his mercy that we may live
in love, without human partiality, blameless.
50:3 All the generations, from Adam even unto this day, are gone by; but they
who have been made perfect in love according to the grace of God inhabit the
abode of the pious, and shall be made manifest in the visitation of the kingdom
of Christ.
50:4 For it is written, Enter into the secret chambers but a little while,
until my anger and wrath be passed, and I will remember the good day, and will
raise you up from your sepulchres.
50:5 Blessed are we, beloved, if we do the commandments of God in the harmony
of love, so that through love our sins may be forgiven us.
50:6 For it is written, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and
whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputeth not sin,
and in whose mouth there is no guile.
50:7 This blessedness cometh unto them who are elect by God, through Jesus
Christ our Lord, to whom be glory world without end. Amen.
