compassion of the Lord is great and glorious and that he has given his spirit to those worthy of repentance." 2. "Why then is it Lord," I asked, "that everyone does not repent?"
He replied, "The Lord has given repentance to those whom he saw were about to become pure in heart and serve him from their whole heart. But he did not give it to those in whom he saw deceit and evil, or those who were about to repent hypocritically, lest they should once again blaspheme his law." 3.1 said to him, "Lord, now explain to me what kind of person each one is who gave back the sticks, and what their dwelling place is—so that those who have believed and received the seal, but broken it and not kept it intact, may hear and recognize their own deeds, and so repent, receive a seal from you, and glorify the Lord, be cause he showed them mercy and sent you to renew their spirits." 4. "Listen," he said. "Those whose sticks were found to be withered and moth-eaten are apostates and betrayers of the church, who have blasphemed the Lord by their sins and become ashamed of the name of the Lord by which they were called. These have finally died to God.
You see that not a single one of them has repented, even after hearing the words I commanded you to speak to them. Life has withdrawn from these. 5.

handed over sticks that were withered but not rotten are near them. For they were hypocrites and advocates of other teachings, who turned the slaves of God aside, espe cially the sinners, not allowing them to repent, but per suading them by their foolish teachings. These then do have a hope of repentance. 6. You see that many of them repented when you told them my commandments. And they will still repent. All those who will not repent have de stroyed their own lives. But all those who have repented have become good and dwell within the first walls; some have even ascended into the tower. You see, then," he said,

3. And so," he said, "all those who have repented have a dwelling place in the tower. All those who repent more slowly will dwell within the walls. But those who do not re pent but remain in their deeds will certainly die. 4. Those who handed over their sticks green, but with splits, have al ways been faithful and good; but they have a certain envy among themselves, wanting to attain preeminence and a measure of glory. All of these are foolish, competing with one another for preeminence. 5. But since all of them are good, they purified themselves and repented quickly when they heard my commandments. So their dwelling place is in the tower. But if any of them becomes a dissenter, he will be thrown out of the tower and lose his life. 6. Life belongs to everyone who keeps the Lord's commandments. But there is nothing in these commandments about attaining preeminence or glory; instead, they are about a man's pa tience and humility. And so the life of the Lord is found in such people, but death is found in those who dissent and break the law.

cling to the saints; for this reason half of them are alive and the other half dead. 2. And so, many who have heard my commandments have repented. Whoever has repented will dwell in the tower. But some of them have fallen away once and for all. These, therefore, do not have repentance.
For because of their business dealings they blasphemed the Lord and denied him. And so they have destroyed their lives by doing evil. 3. But many of them were doubleminded. These still have a chance to repent, if they do so quickly; and they will dwell in the tower. But if they repent more slowly, they will dwell only within the walls. And if they do not repent, they too have destroyed their lives.
4. But those who handed over sticks that were two parts green and the third part withered are the ones who have denied God with various denials. 5.

These have clothed themselves with great arrogance and become conceited; they have abandoned the truth and do not cling to those who are upright, but live with the outsiders. And this path has become very sweet to them. Still, they have not fallen away from God, but have remained in the faith, even though they do not do the works of faith. 2. And so many of these have repented, and their dwelling is in the tower.
3. But others have taken up residence, once and for all, with the outsiders. These have fallen away from God by being borne along by the vanities of the outsiders and act ing like them. And so these are counted among the outsid ers. 4. Some of them were doubleminded and did not hope to be saved because of what they did. Others were doubleminded and created schisms among themselves.
And so there is still repentance for these who have been double-minded in what they have done. But their repen tance must come quickly if they are to live in the tower. For those who do not repent but remain in their pleasures, death is near.

But since the Lord is patient, he wants everyone called through his Son to be saved." 2. I said to him, "Lord, I hope that everyone who hears these words will repent. For I am convinced that everyone who realizes what he has done and fears God will repent." 3. He answered me, "All who repent from their whole heart and cleanse themselves from the evil deeds mentioned before, without adding anything further to their sins, will be healed by the Lord for the sins they com mitted before—so long as they are not of two minds about these commandments and live for God. But all who add to their sins and proceed in the desires of this age will condemn themselves to death. 4. But you, proceed in my commandments and you will live. And whoever proceeds in them and does good work will live to God." 5. After he showed me these things and finished speaking, he said to me, "In a few days I will show you the rest."

After I wrote the commandments and parables of the shepherd, the angel of repentance, he came to me and said, "I want to show you everything that the Holy Spirit showed you when he spoke with you in the form of the church; for that Spirit is the Son of God. 2. For since you were too weak in the flesh, these things were not explained to you by the angel. When, later, you were empowered through the Spirit and became strong, so that you could see the angel, then the building of the tower was explained to you by the church. You saw all things in a good and rev erent way, as shown by the virgin. And now you are seeing by the angels help, through the same Spirit. 3. But you must observe all things more accurately with my help. This is why I was appointed by the glorious angel to dwell in your house, that you may see all things powerfully, without being frightened as you were earlier." 4. And he led me out to Arcadia, to a certain mountain shaped like a breast, and he seated me on the peak of the mountain and showed me a great plain, with twelve mountains surrounding the plain, each mountain having its own appearance. 5. The first was black as soot. The second was barren, with no veg etation. The third was full of thorns and thistles. 6. The fourth had plants that were half withered, green near the top but withered at the roots. And some of the plants with164 παραβολή θ' Μ L L Ε: initium similitudinis E: initium
