1 “And from the twelfth mountain, which was white, those who believed are people like this: they are like infants into whose hearts no deceit enters, and they have not learned what wickedness is, but have always remained like infants. 2 People like this live in God’s kingdom without question, because they did not defile the commandments of God in any way, but continued as children all their days with the same mind. 3 So all of you,” he said, “who remain like infants, without deceit, will be more glorious than all those mentioned before; for all infants are glorious in God’s sight, and come first in His sight. So blessed are all of you who have rid yourselves of wickedness and have clothed yourselves in innocence; you will live for God first of all.” 4 When he finished the parables of the mountains, I said to him, “Sir, now explain to me about the stones that were taken from the plain and placed in the building in place of the ones taken from the tower, and about the round stones that were placed in the building, and about those that still remain round.”
