1The world is farmed through four things.

2They gather into barns through water, earth, wind, and light.

3And in the same way, God farms through four things too: through faith, hope, love, and knowledge.

4Our earth is the faith in which we're rooted. [And] the [water] is the hope through which [we're] nourished.

5The wind is the love through which we grow.

6And the light [is] the knowledge through which we [ripen].

7Grace exists in [four kinds.

8It's] earthly, it's [heavenly, …] the heaven of the heaven […] through [….] Blessed is the one who hasn't […] a soul.

9This one is Jesus Christ.

10He went all over the place and didn't burden anyone.

11So, blessed is someone like this; they're a perfect person, because the Word tells us about how hard it is to keep up.

12How will we be able to achieve such a great thing?

13How will he give rest to everyone?

14First and foremost, it's not right to cause anyone grief – whether great or small, or faithless or faithful – and then give rest to those who are (already) at rest among those who are well off.

15There are some who benefit from giving rest to the one who's well off.

16Whoever does good can't give rest to them because they can't just do whatever they want; they can't cause grief because they can't cause distress, but sometimes the one who's well off causes them grief.

17They're not like that, but it's their (own) evil that causes them grief.

18Whoever has the nature (of the perfect person) gives joy to the one who's good, but some grieve terribly at this.

19A householder acquired everything, whether child or slave or cattle or dog or pig or wheat [or] barley or straw or hay or […] or meat and acorn. [But they're] wise and understand what to feed each [one].

20To the children they served bread […] but [… the] slaves they served […], and to the cattle [they threw barley] and straw and hay.

21To [the] dogs they threw bones [and] to [the pigs] they threw acorns and slops.

22That's what it's like with the disciple of God.

23If they're wise, they understand what it means to be a disciple.

24The bodily forms won't deceive them, but they'll look at the condition of the soul of each one and speak with them.

25There are many animals in the world that are made in human form.

26They (the disciple) recognizes them.

27To the pigs they'll throw acorns, but to the cattle they'll throw barley with straw and hay.

28To the dogs they'll throw bones, to the slaves they'll give the appetizer, and to the children they'll give the perfect (food).

29There's the Son of Humanity, and there's the son of the Son of Humanity.

30The Lord is the Son of Humanity, and the son of the Son of Humanity is the one who creates through the Son of Humanity.

31The Son of Humanity received from God the ability to create.

32He (also) has the ability to beget.

33The one who received the ability to create is a creature; the one who received the ability to beget is begotten.

34The one who creates can't beget; the one who begets can create.

35They say, "The one who creates, begets." But what they beget is a creature. [So] their begotten aren't their children, but they're […].

36The one who creates works [publicly], and are themselves [revealed].

37The one who begets, begets [secretly], and they're hidden […] the image. [Again], the one who [creates, creates] publicly, but the one who begets, [begets] children secretly.

38No [one will be able to] know [when the husband] and the wife are intimate with each other, except they themselves, because the marriage of the world is a mystery for those who have married.

39If the defiled marriage is hidden, how much more is the undefiled marriage a true mystery!

40It's not fleshly, but pure.

41It isn't of desire, but of the will.

42It isn't of the darkness or the night, but it's of the day and the light.

43If a marriage is stripped naked, it becomes pornography – not only if the bride receives the seed of another man, but even if she leaves the chamber and is seen, she commits adultery.

44Let her reveal herself to her father, her mother, the best man, and the groom's children.

45They're allowed to enter the bridal chamber every day.

46But let the others yearn just to hear her voice and enjoy her perfume, and, like dogs, let them eat the crumbs that fall from the table.

47Grooms and brides belong to the bridal chamber.

48No one will be able to see the groom and the bride unless [they become] such.
