Chapter 17  
     
1.
 And I said to the savior, Lord, will all the souls then be brought safely into the pure light?
 
2.
 He answered and said to me, Great things have arisen in your mind, for it is difficult to explain them to others except to those who are from the immovable race.
 
3.
 Those on whom the Spirit of life will descend and (with whom) he will be with the power, they will be saved and become perfect and be worthy of the greatness and be purified in that place from all wickedness and the involvements in evil.
 
4.
 Then they have no other care than the incorruption alone, to which they direct their attention from here on, without anger or envy or jealousy or desire and greed of anything.
 
5.
 They are not affected by anything except the state of being in the flesh alone, which they bear while looking expectantly for the time when they will be met by the receivers (of the body).
 
6.
 Such then are worthy of the imperishable, eternal life and the calling.
 
7.
 For they endure everything and bear up under everything, that they may finish the good fight and inherit eternal life.
 
8.
 I said to him, Lord, the souls of those who did not do these works (but) on whom the power and Spirit descended, will they be rejected?
 
9.
 He answered and said to me, If) the Spirit (descended upon them), they will in any case be saved, and they will change (for the better).
 
10.
 For the power will descend on every man, for without it no one can stand.
 
11.
 And after they are born, then, when the Spirit of life increases and the power comes and strengthens that soul, no one can lead it astray with works of evil.
 
12.
 But those on whom the counterfeit spirit descends are drawn by him and they go astray.
