Chapter 4 / Mishnah 17 - Pirkei Avot translated into English
He used to say: more precious is one hour in repentance and good deeds in this world, than all the life of the world to come; And more precious is one hour of the tranquility of the world to come, than all the life of this world.
Description / commentaries - Pirkei Avot - Mishnah 17 - Chapter 4
He was wont to say: Better one hour for [purposes of] repentance and good deeds in this world than all of the life in the world to come. [For at that time repentance and good deeds are of no avail to a man. For the world to come serves only for the receiving of reward for what one fulfilled in this world.] And better one hour of pleasure in the world to come than all of the life in this world.
