The Mystery of Marriage
1[The] mystery of marriage [is] great, because [without] it the world would [not exist]; because [the] structure of [the world …], but the structure [… the marriage].
2Think about the [intimate …] defiled, because it has […] power.
3Its image exists in a [defilement].
4The impure spirits take male and female [forms].
5The males are those that are intimate with the souls which dwell in a female form, and the females are those that mingle with those in a male form through disobedience.
6No one will be able to escape being bound by them without receiving a male power and a female one – the groom and the bride – in the image of the bridal chamber.
7When the foolish females see a male sitting alone, they jump on him, play with him, and defile him.
8In the same way, when the foolish males see a beautiful female sitting alone, they seduce and coerce her, wanting to defile her.
9But if they see the husband and his wife sitting together, the females can't go inside the husband, nor the males inside the wife.
10That's what it's like when the image unites with the angel; no one will be able to dare to go inside the [male] or the female.
