The lovers of the evils of the world will go away to hades, away from the face of Christ. They will be with Him and live with Him forever the lovers of virtue, who kept the betrothal of the Spirit unharmed; it is obvious that since they are with Him, they will also see well His Godly Beauty without obstacle. Because it is said in the Scriptures that “the Lord will be for you Light Eternal”, and “the God your Glory”. It is natural that the Lord wanted to say this, when we listen to Him saying, “Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also” [John 14.19].

οἱ μὲν τῶν ἐν κόσμῳ κακῶν ἐρασταὶ κατοιχήσονται πρὸς τὸν ᾅδην͵ καὶ ἐκ προσώπου γενήσονται Χριστοῦ· συνέσονται γεμὴν αὐτῷ καὶ συνδιαιτήσονται διὰ παντὸς οἱ τῆς ἀρετῆς ἐρασταὶ καὶ τὸν ἀῤῥαβῶνα τοῦ Πνεύματος ἀσινῆ τηρήσαντες͵ συνόντες δὲ δηλονότι καὶ τὸ θεοπρεπὲς αὐτοῦ κατόψονται κάλλος ἀδιακωλύτως· Ἔσται γάρ σοι͵ φησὶ͵ Κύριος φῶς αἰώνιον͵ καὶ ὁ Θεὸς δόξα σου· καὶ εἰκὸς δὲ τοῦτο βούλεσθαι δηλοῦν τὸν Κύριον͵ ὅταν ἀκούωμεν λέγοντος Ἔτι μικρὸν καὶ ὁ κόσμος με οὐκέτι θεωρεῖ͵ ὑμεῖς δὲ θεωρεῖτέ με͵ ὅτι ἐγὼ ζῶ καὶ ὑμεῖς ζήσεσθε
