But that there is\r\nthis distinction between the habitation of those who produce\r\nan hundred-fold, and that of those who produce sixty-fold,\r\nand that of those who produce thirty-fold; for the first will\r\nbe taken up into the heavens, the second class will dwell in\r\nParadise, and the last will inhabit the city; and that on this\r\naccount the Lord said, “In my Father’s house are many\r\nmansions:”<a id=\"r1799\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f1799\"><sup>[1799]</sup></a> for all things belong to God, who supplies all\r\nwith a suitable dwelling-place, even as His word says, that a\r\nshare is given to all by the Father,<a id=\"r1800\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f1800\"><sup>[1800]</sup></a> according as each one is\r\nor shall be worthy.

The\r\npresbyters, the disciples of the apostles, say that this is the\r\ngradation and arrangement of those who are saved, and that\r\nthey advance through steps of this nature; and that, moreover,\r\nthey ascend through the Spirit to the Son, and through\r\nthe Son to the Father; and that in due time the Son will\r\nyield up His work to the Father, even as it is said by the\r\napostle, “For He must reign till He hath put all enemies\r\nunder His feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is\r\ndeath.”<a id=\"r1802\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f1802\"><sup>[1802]</sup></a> For in the times of the kingdom the just man who\r\nis on the earth shall forget to die. “But when He saith all\r\nthings are put under Him, it is manifest that He is excepted\r\nwhich did put all things under Him. And when all things\r\nshall be subdued unto Him, then shall the Son also Himself\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_445\">445</span>be subject unto Him that put all things under Him, that God\r\nmay be all in all.”<a id=\"r1803\"></a><a class=\"c009 pginternal\" href=\"#f1803\"><sup>[1803]</sup></a></p>","headings":["The Writings of the Apostolic Fathers","FRAGMENTS OF PAPIAS.","INTRODUCTORY NOTICE.","V."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg77576-paragraph-792"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"12cd784af19c71f7ea3b7ec716f4c53b6d80a6b86066d86fa3d6c78c05e7a81b","edition_title":"The writings of the Apostolic Fathers","edition_translators":["Alexander Roberts","James Donaldson","Frederick Crombie"],"edition_year":1870,"explicit_reference_candidates":[],"headings":[],"id":"pg77576-f1798","license_url":"https://www.gutenberg.org/policy/license.html","public_import_allowed":false,"record_kind":"original-editor-translator-note","review_required":["work and recension attribution","original-work chronology","Bible reference numbering and citation kind","English edition rights and attribution"],"review_status":"needs_review","rights_evidence":"Project Gutenberg metadata: Public domain in the USA.
