2 Esdras 7:69-71

Revised Standard Version

⁶⁹ And if we were not to come into judgment after death, perhaps it would have been better for us.”

⁷⁰ He answered me and said, “When the Most High made the world and Adam and all who have come from him, he first prepared the judgment and the things that pertain to the judgment. ⁷¹ And now understand from your own words, for you have said that the mind grows with us.
