Wisdom of Faith

Ler em portuguêsCompare PT / EN

And the First Mystery continued again and said unto the disciples: Pistis Sophia again continued in the song and said:

2My power, sing praises to the Light and forget not all the powers of the Light which it hath given unto thee.

3And the powers which are in thee, sing praises to the name of his holy mystery;

4Who forgiveth all thy transgression, who saveth thee from all the afflictions with which the emanations of Self-willed have constrained thee;

5Who hath saved thy light from the emanations of Self-willed which belong to destruction; who hath wreathed thee with light in his compassion, until he saved thee;

6Who hath filled thee with purified light; and thy beginning will renew itself as an invisible of the Height.

7With these words Pistis Sophia sang praises, because she was saved and remembered all things which I had done unto her.
