How greatly you err, you who do not believe in the resurrection of the dead; and when they bring you to a place you do not know, in that hour you shall repent where it profits you not; and when they cast you into judgment because you did not believe in the resurrection of the dead, in body and soul together.
And you shall be requited according as you did, whether good or evil, because you grieved the heart of others, saying, 'We believe that the dead, who have become ashes and dust, do not rise.'
And because of this their fellows err greatly; for there is no escape from their death, and no power against their chastisement; nor are they delivered even by their toil, for they are bound to stand before the judgment of the Lord.
And they shall be greatly ashamed when He chastens them in His wrath and is wroth with them because of all the evil they have done; for they speak while they do not know the way of the Lord, for they themselves do not know whence they came.
And they do not know whither they go, into the judgment of the flame of fire; for according to the crookedness of their heart they teach their fellows, for they are bitter and rugged in their deeds and cruel, and they teach perverse words, saying, 'There is no resurrection of the dead.'
And in that day they shall know that the dead rise and are judged, because they did not believe in the resurrection of the dead—for all the creatures of the children of men shall rise.
For we are all the fruit of Adam, and through Adam we have died; for upon us all, because of the transgression of our father Adam, has come the judgment of death from the Lord.
And again, that we should be requited according to what we have done, we rise together with Adam our father; for through the ignorance of our father Adam, the world was enslaved to death.
And because of this we have been requited through the transgression of Adam, and our flesh has decayed in the grave, and our bones also have been crushed.
And the earth has drunk up our marrow, and it has perished, and our beauty has decayed into ashes, and our flesh has been buried in the dust, and our pleasant voice has been buried in bitterness.
Where now is the beauty of the goodly young men whom Adam fathered, and the loveliness and the sweetness of their voice? Where now is the greatness of the mighty ones?
And where now is the strength of the kings, and the honor of the princes, who were adorned with horses and decked with gold and silver, and adorned with the glittering ornaments of the field?
18:14
አይቴ፡ ሀሎጣዕመ፡ መባልዕት፡ ውስተ፡ ወይን፡ ጥዑም።
在那甘甜美酒之中珍饈的滋味，如今在哪裡呢？
Where now is the savor of the dainty foods amid the sweet wine?
