Several Gentiles approached Jesus: I pick up where Jesus is talking to them concerning the soul being immortal.

The section where Socrates is quoted by the Gentiles and Jesus informs them of His answer.

"I solemnly tell you that the Greek master, although in the error of a false religion, was stating the truth saying that the soul is immortal. As a searcher after truth and a lover of Virtue, he heard the Voice of the unknown God whisper in the depth of his soul: the Voice of the True God, of the Only God: the Most High Father from Whom I come to take men to the Truth. Man has a soul, One, True, Eternal, Mistress, worthy of reward and of punishment. It is entirely his. Created by God it is destined in God's Thought to go back to God. You, Gentiles, devote yourselves too much to the cult of your bodies. The human body is really a wonderful work, on which there is the mark of the eternal Finger. You admire your minds too much; man's mind is a jewel enclosed in the coffer of his head from which it sends forth its sublime beams. A great celestial gift of God Creator, Who made you according to His Thought with regard to your figure, that is, a perfect work of organs and members, and He gave you His likeness with His Thought and Spirit.

"But the perfection of the likeness is in the Spirit."

"Because God has no members or dull flesh, as He is not subject to sensuality or incentive of lust. But He is a most pure Spirit, He is eternal, perfect, immutable, indefatigable in acting, continuosly reviving in His works, which He paternally in acting adapts to the ascensional march of His creature. The spirit, created in all men by the same Source of power and bounty, know no variation of the original perfection, but knows many of them after it is infused in the body. One only is the uncreated and most perfect Spirit, and it has always been such.

"Three are the spirits that were created perfect and.......

Gentiles speak: "You are one, Master...
Jesus speaks: "Not I. In My body I have the divine Spirit that was not created, but was generated by the Father through exuberance of Love. And I have the soul created for Me by the Father, as I am, now, the Man. A perfect soul as befits the Man God. But I am speaking of other spirits.

Gentiles speak: Which, then?

Jesus speaks: "The two first parents from whom the race descends; they were created perfect and then they voluntarily fell into imperfection.

"The third one, created for the delight of God and of the Universe, is too superior to the possibilites of thought and faith of the present world to be pointed out to you. The spirits, as I was saying, created by the same Source with the same degree of perfection, are subject, through their own will and merit, to a double metamorphosis.

Gentiles speak: 'So You admit a second life?'

Jesus speaks: "There is but one life. In it the soul, which was originally made in God's likeness, passes through justice faithfully practised in everything, to a more perfect likeness, I would say, to a second creation of itself, whereby it evolves towards a double likeness to its Creator, becoming capable of possessing holiness, which is perfection of justice and likeness of children to the Father. It is to be found in the blessed souls, that is the those who your Socrates says live in Hades.(Limbo) Whereas I say that when Wisdom will have spoken its words and signed them with its blood, they will be blessed souls in Paradise, that is, of the Kingdom of God.

Gentiles speak: And where are they now?
Jesus speaks: In expectation.
Gentiles: Of What?
Jesus: Of the Sacrifice. Of Forgiveness. Of Liberation.
