When Salome inquired of the Lord: How long shall death prevail? the Lord said: So long as ye women bear children.
2And when Salome said unto him: Did I well, then, in not bearing children? the Lord answered and said: Eat thou of every herb, but eat not of that which hath bitterness.
3And when Salome inquired when the things concerning which she asked should be known, the Lord said: When ye have trampled on the garment of shame, and when the two become one, and the male with the female is neither male nor female.
4And the Savior himself said: I came to destroy the works of the female; by female meaning the lust of the flesh, and by works meaning birth and corruption.
5And it is written concerning the soul that it is very hard to perceive and comprehend, for it changeth into diverse forms, as is set forth in the Gospel according to the Egyptians.
6And in the same Gospel it is recorded as from the person of the Savior, when he instructed his disciples, showing them that the same person is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
