Chapter 6
1 The ends of the world will profit me nothing, nor the kingdoms of this age. It is better for me to die for Christ Jesus than to reign over the ends of the earth.
2 For what does it profit a human being if he gains the whole world but loses his soul? I long for the Lord, the Son of the true God and Father, Jesus Christ. I seek him who died for us and rose again. Bear with me, brothers.
3 Don’t hinder me from reaching life, for Jesus is the life of the faithful. Don’t wish me to die, for life without Christ is death.
4 Don’t hand me over to the world when I want to belong to God. Let me receive the pure light; when I arrive there I will be a human being of God. Permit me to be an imitator of the passion of my God, Christ.
5 If anyone has him in himself, let him understand what I want, and let him sympathize with me, knowing the things that constrain me.
