1Those who say that they'll die first and (then) they'll rise are wrong.

2If they don't first receive the resurrection while they're living, they won't receive anything when they die.

3It's the same when they talk about baptism and they say "Baptism is a great thing," because those who receive it will live.

4Philip the apostle said, "Joseph the carpenter planted a garden because he needed wood for his trade.

5It was he who made the cross from the trees he planted, and his offspring hung from what he planted.

6His offspring was Jesus, and the plant was the cross." But the Tree of Life is in the middle of Paradise, and from the olive tree came the chrism, and from that the resurrection.

7This world eats corpses.

8All that are eaten in it die also.

9Truth eats life, so no one nourished by [Truth] will die.

10Jesus came from that place, he brought food from there, and to those who wanted, he gave them [to eat, so that] they won't die.

11[God …] a Paradise, [human …] Paradise, there are […] and […] of God […] those in [it …] I wish that [Paradise …] they'll say to me, "[… eat] this," or "don't eat [that …] wish." The tree of knowledge is the place where I'll eat everything.

12It killed Adam, but here it makes humanity live.

13The Law was the tree.

14It has the power to give the knowledge of good and evil.

15It neither kept them from evil nor placed them in the good, but it created death for those who ate from it; because when it said, "Eat this, don't eat that," it became the beginning of death.

16The chrism is better than baptism, since we're called "Christians" because of the chrism, not because of baptism.

17And it was because of the chrism that Christ was named, because the Father anointed the Son, and the Son anointed the apostles, and the apostles anointed us.

18Whoever is anointed has everything: the resurrection, the light, the cross, the Holy Spirit.

19The Father gave this to him in the bridal chamber, and he received it.

20The Father was in the Son and the Son in the Father.

21This is [the kingdom] of heaven.

22The Lord said [it] well: "Some went to the kingdom of heaven laughing and they came out […] a Christian […] and as soon as [… went down] into the water and he […] everything about […] it's [a] game, [but … disregard] this […] to the kingdom of [heaven …] if they disregard […] and if they scorn it as a game, [… out] laughing.

23It's the same way with the bread and the cup and the oil, though there's one better than these.

24The world came into being through a transgression, because the one who created it wanted to create it imperishable and immortal.

25He fell away and didn't get what he wanted, because the world wasn't imperishable, and the one who created it wasn't imperishable; because things aren't imperishable, but rather children.

26Nothing will be able to receive imperishability without becoming a child.

27But whoever can't receive, how much more will they be unable to give?

28The cup of prayer has wine and water, since it's laid down as the type of the blood over which they give thanks.

29It fills with the Holy Spirit, and it belongs to the completely perfect human.

30Whenever we drink this, we'll receive the perfect human.

31The living water is a body.

32It's necessary for us to put on the living human.

33So coming down to the water, they strip themselves so that they'll put on that one.

34A horse begets a horse, a human begets a human, and a god begets god.

35It's the same way with [the groom] and [brides too].

36They [come into being] from the […] No Jew […] from […] exists and […] from the Jews […] the Christians […] called these […] "the chosen race of […]" and "the true human" and "the Son of the Human" and "the seed of the Son of the Human." This true race is known in the world.

37These are the places where the children of the bridal chamber exist.

38In this world, union is between male and female, the place of power and weakness; in the (eternal) age, the union is like something else, but we refer to them by the same names.

39There are other names, however, that are above every name that's named, and they're better than the strong, because where there's force, there are those who are even more powerful.

40They're not (two) different things, but they're both the same thing.

41This is what won't be able to come down upon the fleshly heart.

42Isn't it necessary for everyone who has everything to know themselves completely?

43Some who don't know themselves won't be able to enjoy what they have, but those who've come to understand themselves will enjoy them.

44Not only won't they be able to bind the perfect human, they won't be able to see them (the perfect human), because if they see them they'll bind them.

45There's no other way for someone to acquire this grace for themselves [except by] putting on the perfect light [and] becoming the perfect [light.

46Whoever has put it on] themselves will go […] this is the perfect […] for us to become […] before we came to […] whoever receives everything […] these places, they'll be able to […] that place, but they'll [… the middle] as incomplete.

47Only Jesus knows the end of this one.

48The holy man (priest) is completely holy, down to his (very) body, because if he receives the bread he'll make it holy, or the cup, or anything else that he takes and purifies.

49Why won't he purify the body too?

50As Jesus perfected the water of baptism, that's the way he poured out death.

51So we go down into the water, but we don't go down into death, so that we won't be poured out into the spirit of the world.

52When it blows, the winter comes.

53When the Holy Spirit breathes, the summer comes.

54Whoever knows the truth is a free person, and the free person doesn't sin, because "whoever sins is the slave of sin." Truth is the Mother, but knowledge is the joining.

55Those who aren't given to sin are called "free" by the world.

56These who aren't given to sin are made proud by the knowledge of the truth.

57That's what makes them free and exalts them over everything.

58But "love builds up," and whoever has been made free through knowledge is a slave because of love for those who aren't yet able to attain [the] freedom of knowledge, [but] knowledge makes them able [to] become free.

59Love […] anything its own […] it […] its own.

60It never [says "…"] or "this is mine," [but "…] are yours." Spiritual love is wine with fragrance.

61All those who will anoint themselves with it enjoy it.

62While those who are anointed stay around, those who are nearby also enjoy it.

63If those who are anointed with ointment leave them and go, those who aren't anointed but are only nearby remain in their stench.

64The Samaritan didn't give anything to the wounded man except wine with oil.

65It wasn't anything but the ointment, and it healed the wounds, because "love covers a multitude of sins."

66The children to whom a woman gives birth will look like the man she loves.

67If it's her husband, they look like her husband; if it's an adulterer, they look like the adulterer.

68Often, if a woman sleeps with her husband because she has to, but her heart is with the adulterer with whom she is intimate and she bears a child, the child she bears looks like the adulterer.

69But you who exist with the Son of God, don't love the world; rather, love the Lord, so that those you'll beget may not come to look like the world, but will come to look like the Lord.

70The human unites with the human, the horse unites with the horse, the donkey unites with the donkey.

71Species unite [with] similar species.

72That's what it's like when spirit unites with spirit, the [Word] is intimate with the Word, [and light is] intimate [with light.

73If you] become human, [it's the human who will] love you.

74If you become [spirit], it's the Spirit who will unite with you. [If] you become Word, it's the Word that will unite with you.

75If [you] become light, it's the light which will be intimate with you.

76If you become one of those from above, those from above will rest upon you.

77If you become horse or donkey or calf or dog or sheep or any other of the animals which are outside or below, neither human nor spirit nor Word nor light nor those from above nor those inside will be able to love you.

78They won't be able to rest within you, and you'll have no part in them.

79Whoever is an unwilling slave will be able to be made free.

80Whoever has become free by the grace of their master and has sold themselves (back) into slavery won't be able to be made free any longer.
