And he continued again in the discourse and said unto the disciples: These are all adventures which have befallen Pistis Sophia. It came to pass then, when I had led her to the region which is below the thirteenth æon, and was about to go unto the Light and depart from her, that she said unto me:
2O Light of lights, thou wilt go to the Light and depart from me. And Tyrant Adamas will know that thou hast departed from me and will know that my saviour is not at hand. And he will come again to this region, he and all his rulers who hate me, and Self-willed also will bestow power unto his lion-faced emanation and will come and constrain me anew and take all the light from me, so that I become powerless and have no light. Now, therefore, O Light of lights, take the power of their light from them, so that they may not be able to constrain me from this hour on.
3It came to pass then, when I heard these words which Pistis Sophia had spoken unto me, that I answered and said unto her: Thy father Self-willed hath not yet spent all his power. But hearken that I may speak with thee: I will seal the regions of Self-willed and all his rulers, and I will command them that they should not fight against thee, until their time is completed and until the command of the First Mystery is fulfilled.
