who] multiplies her Sons. (¹see www.metalog.org/files/ph_interlin/ph40.html; Pro 8, Isa 54:1, Lk 7:35, Th 49 101) 41. That which the Father possesses belongs to the Son. And also he himself, the Son, as long as he remains small, those (things) which are his are not entrusted to him. (But) when he matures¹, all that his Father possesses he bestows upon him. (¹literally ‘becomes a man’; Th 61b, Ph 2) 42. Those who stray are begotten by the Spirit, and they also go astray thru her. Thus by this same breath°, the fire blazes and is extinguished. (Pro 16:4, Isa 45:7, Lam 3:38, Jn 19:11!) 43. Wisdom¹ is one thing, and death² is another. ‘Wisdom’ (in Aramaic) is simply ‘wisdom’ (in Greek), yet the wisdom of death is (itself) dead. This which is the wisdom with death, which is from the acquaintance with death — this is called the minor wisdom. (¹Aram tmkx [khokmat] = Heb hmkx [khokmah]: wisdom; ²Heb twm [mut]: die) 44. There are animals submissive to mankind, such as the calf and the donkey and others of this kind. There are others not submissive,¹ isolated in the wilds. The human plows in the field by means of the submissive animals, and by this he feeds himself as well as the animals— whether domesticated or wild. (Pro 14:4) So it is with the Perfect Person: thru the submissive powers he plows, providing to cause the existence of everything. For because of this the entire place stands— whether the good or the evil, both the right and the left. The Sacred Spirit pastures everyone and commands all the powers, the submissive as well as the rebellious and isolated. For truly she continues [at all times] to control them [beyond] the abilities of their desire. [...] (¹asyndeton; Ecc 7:14, Ph 9 42 72) 45. [Adam] was formed (and¹) [he begot], (but¹) thou would [not] 60
have found his sons to be noble formations. (Ph 46) If he were not formed but rather begotten, thou would have found his seed to be made noble. Yet now he has been formed, (and¹) he has begotten. What nobility is this? (¹asyndeton; Gen 2:7 4:1) 46. Adultery occurred first, then murder. And (Cain°) was begotten in adultery, (for¹) he was the son of the serpent.² Therefore he became a manslayer just like his other³ father, and he killed his brother. Yet every mating which has occurred between those who are dissimilar is adultery. (¹asyndeton; ²i.e. born of the pretense called human, rather than divine, generation; ³i.e. other than his true Father, God; Gen 4:1-16, Ecl 11:5!!, Jn 8:31-59!, IJn 3:12!, Th 105; see ‘Theogenesis’, Comm.3) 47. God is a dyer. Just as the good pigments which are called colorfast then label the things which have been (permanently) dyed in them, so it is with those whom God has colored. Because his hues are imperishable, (those who are tinted) become immortal thru his hand's coloring. Yet whomever he baptizes°, God immerses in an inundation of waters.¹ (¹i.e. a flood of images; Ph 58) 48. It is not possible for anyone to see anything of those that are established, unless he has become like them. Not as with the person in the world: he sees the sun without being made a sun, and he sees the sky and the earth and all other things without having been made into them. (Ps 8:34) But in the truth it is thus— thou saw something of that place, thou came to be among those there. Thou saw the Spirit,¹ thou became spiritual; thou saw the Christ,¹ thou became christlike; thou saw [the Father,¹ thou] shall become paternal. Thus [in the world] thou indeed see everything and [thou] do not [see thy self], yet thou see thy self in that [place]. For what thou see, thou shall become. (¹asyndeta) 49. Faith receives,¹ love gives. [No one can receive] without faith,¹ 61
