for if God should pay the recompense of the righteous speedily, we should immediately be training ourselves in commerce and not in godliness; for we should seem to be righteous when we were pursuing not

piety but gain. For this reason divine judgment punishes[*] a spirit which is not righteous and loads it with chains.

To the only invisible God, the father of truth.[*] who sent forth to us the Saviour and prince of immortality, through whom he also made manifest to to us truth and the life of heaven, to him be the glory for ever and ever. Amen.
