Apocalypse of Peter (Combined Fragments) · Fragment 11 of 81 · 2 passages

1I asked him, “Lord, allow me to speak your word concerning sinners: It would have been better for them if they had not been created.”

2The Savior answered me, “Peter, why do you say that it would have been better for them not to have been created? You oppose God. You cannot have more compassion for his image than he does, for he created them and brought them forth from nonexistence. Your heart is troubled because you have seen the lamentation that will come upon sinners in the last days. But I will show you the deeds by which they have sinned against the Most High.”
