And then every soul that shall be born in a body with Az and Lust, and shall bear Az and Lust and not cast them off, and become self-indulgent and greedy, and keep [the creatures of] Ahramen, he shall be bound with Ahramen [and] the demons in the eternal prison. (395) And he who shall do the will of the gods [and] be a travelling-companion and helper [of the religious], and he too who is well-disposed towards them, (400) shall be with the gods in Paradise [ . . . ]. [And to the] evil-doers [in] the grievous burning, they will answer and be repentant and distressed.
