אמר לו ר"ע רבך לא אמר כך אלא ברא צדיקים ברא רשעים ברא גן עדן ברא גיהנם כל אחד ואחד יש לו ב' חלקים אחד בגן עדן ואחד בגיהנם זכה צדיק נטל חלקו וחלק חברו בגן עדן נתחייב רשע נטל חלקו וחלק חברו בגיהנם

"Rabbi Akiva, your teacher, did not say like that. Rather [he said], 'He created righteous; He created wicked. He created the Garden of Eden; He created Gehinnom. Everyone has two parts: One in the Garden of Eden, and one in Gehinnom. If he merited [to be judged] righteous, he takes his share and his fellow's share in the Garden of Eden. If he was found guilty [of being] wicked, he takes his share and his fellow's share in Gehinnom.'"
