1Now those who will receive teaching [are] the living who are written in the Book of the Living.

2They receive teaching about themselves, and they receive it from the Father, returning to him again.

3Since the completion of all is in the Father, it’s necessary for all to go up to him.

4Then, if someone has knowledge, they receive what are their own, and he draws them to himself, because the one who’s ignorant is in need.

5And it’s a great need, since they need what will complete them.

6Since the completion of all is in the Father, it’s necessary for all to go up to him, and for each one to receive what are their own.

7He inscribed these things beforehand, having prepared them to give to those who came out from him.

8Those whose names he knew beforehand were called at the end, so that the one who has knowledge is the one whose name the Father has called, because those whose name hasn’t been spoken are ignorant.

9Indeed, how can someone hear if their name hasn’t been called?

10For the one who’s ignorant until the end is a delusion of forgetfulness, and they’ll dissolve with it.

11Otherwise, why do these miserable ones have no name?

12Why do they have no voice?

13So if someone has knowledge, they’re from above.

14If they’re called, they hear, they reply, and they turn to the one who calls them.

15And they go up to him, and they know how they are called.

16Having knowledge, they do the will of the one who called them, they want to please him, and they receive rest.

17Each one’s name becomes their own.

18The one who has knowledge like this knows where they come from and where they’re going.

19They know like one who, having been drunk, turns from their drunkenness, and having returned to themselves, restores what are their own.

20He’s returned many from Error.

21He went before them to the realms from which they had moved away.

22They had received Error because of the depth of the one who surrounds every realm, though nothing surrounds him.

23It’s a great wonder that they were in the Father, not knowing him, and that they were able to come out by themselves, since they weren’t able to grasp and know the one in whom they were.

24He revealed his will as knowledge in harmony with all that emanated from him.

25This is the knowledge of the living book which he revealed to the generations at the end, letters from him revealing how they’re not vowels or consonants, so that one might read them and think they’re meaningless, but they’re letters of the Truth – they speak and know themselves.

26Each letter is a complete thought, like a book that’s complete, since they’re letters written by the Unity, the Father having written them so that the generations, by means of his letters, might know the Father.
