1I went up to the light of Truth as to a chariot, and the Truth guided me and made me come.
2And made me pass over chasms and gulfs, and saved me from cliffs and valleys.
3And became for me a haven of salvation, and set me on the place of immortal life.
4And he went with me and made me rest and did not permit me to err; because he was and is the Truth.
5And there was no danger to me because I walked constantly with him; and I did not err in anything because I obeyed him.
6For Error fled from him, and never met him.
7But Truth was proceeding in the right way, and whatever I did not understand he exhibited to me:
8All the poisons of error, and the pains of death which are considered sweetness.
9And the corruption of the Corruptor, I saw when the bride who was being corrupted was adorned, and the bridegroom who corrupts and is corrupted.
10And I asked the Truth, Who are these? And he said to me: This is the Deceiver and the Error.
11And they imitate the Beloved and his Bride, and make the world err and corrupt it.
12And they invite many to the wedding feast, and let them drink the wine of their intoxication;
13Then make them vomit up their wisdom and knowledge, and prepare for them lack of understanding.
14Then they abandon them; and thus they stumble about like mad and corrupted men.
15Since there is no understanding in them, neither do they seek it.
16But I was made wise so as not to fall into the hands of the Deceivers, and I myself rejoiced because the Truth had gone with me.
17For I was established and lived and was redeemed, and my foundations were laid on account of the hand of the Lord; because he planted me.
18For he set the root, and watered it and endowed it and blessed it, and its fruits shall be forever.
19It penetrated deeply and sprang up and spread abroad, and was full and enlarged.
20And the Lord alone was glorified, in his planting and in his cultivation;
21In his care and in the blessing of his lips, in the beautiful planting of his right hand;
22And in the attainment of his planting, and in the understanding of his mind. Hallelujah.
