2 Esdras 7:94-96
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
94 The third order, they see the witness that he who formed them bears concerning them, that throughout their life they kept the law with which they were entrusted. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest that they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory waiting for them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible and shall inherit what is to come; and besides, they see the straits and toil[a] from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty that they are to receive and enjoy in immortality.
