Translation commentary on 2 Esdras 8:54

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.
