¹ And I began to speak the third Parable concerning the righteous and elect.

² Blessed are you, you righteous and elect, For glorious will be your lot.

³ And the righteous will be in the light of the sun, And the chosen in the light of eternal life: The days of their life will be unending, And the days of the holy without number.

⁴ And they will seek the light and find righteousness with the Lord of Spirits: There will be peace to the righteous in the name of the Eternal Lord.

⁵ And after this it will be said to the holy in heaven That they should seek out the secrets of righteousness, the heritage of faith: For it has become bright as the sun upon earth, And the darkness is past.

⁶ And there will be a light that never ends, And to a limit (lit. ‘number’) of days they will not come, For the darkness will first have been destroyed, [And the light established before the Lord of Spirits] And the light of uprightness established forever before the Lord of Spirits.
