Mary said: "My Lord, if a man hath received the mysteries of the Light and thereafter hath fallen back into sin and died without repenting, what will befall him?"

2Jesus answered: "A man who hath received the mysteries and hath turned back unto wickedness, his judgment is greater than the judgment of all others.

3"For he hath known the way of truth and hath trodden underfoot the holy mystery. The receivers of the First Mystery will take his soul and cast it into the deepest chaos.

4"And no mystery will avail him, save only the supreme mystery of the Ineffable, if he turneth with tears and profound lamentation."
