47. God is a dyer. Just as the good pigments which are called permanent then label the things which have been dyed in them, so it is with those whom God has colored. Because his hues are imperishable, (those who are tinted) become immortal thru his hand's coloring. Yet God immerses whomever he baptizes by an inundation of waters.

47. Dios es tintorero. Tal como los buenos tintes que son llamados permanentes así dan nombre a las cosas que han sido teñidas en ellos, lo mismo ocurre con quienes Dios ha teñido. Puesto que sus tintes son imperecederos, (los teñidos) se hacen inmortales por la coloración de su mano. Pues Dios sumerge a quienes bautiza por una inundación de aguas.
