2 Esdras 7:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ The entrances of the greater world, however, are spacious and secure, and they generate the fruit of immortality. ¹⁴ If those who live don’t enter these narrow and empty places, they can’t receive the things that are in store. ¹⁵ Therefore, why are you disturbed, being corruptible, and why are you upset, being mortal?
