Sorrows have passed away, and in the end the treasure of immortality is made manifest: The treasure spoken of here is immortality. Alternative models for this verse are:
• There will be no more sadness, and at last you will know [or, experience] the treasure of eternal life.
• … and at last you will receive that wonderful treasure eternal life.
