no one can give without love. Therefore we believe so that indeed we shall receive, yet we give so that we shall love. Otherwise, if one is accustomed to give without love, he derives no benefit from having given. (¹asyndeta) 50. Whoever has not received the Lord, continues still with the Hebrews. (Th 43, Ph 6 108) 51. The Apostles who preceded us called (him) thus: Yeshua the Nazirite° Messiah— this is Yeshua the Nazirite Christ The last name is the Christ, the first is Yeshua, that in the middle is the Nazirite. ‘Messiah’ has two references: both the anointed and also the measured°. ‘Yeshua’ in Hebrew is the atonement. ‘Nazara’ is the truth, therefore the Nazirite is the true. The Christ is the measured, the Nazirite and Yeshua are the measurement. (Num 6:1-8, Jud 13:5 → Mt 2:23, Ph 20) 52. The pearl which is cast down into the mire is not despised, nor if it is anointed with balsam oil is it (more) valued. But rather it has its great worth to its owner at all times. So it is with the Sons/Daughters of God— whatever happens to them, in their heart they still have the great value to their Father. (Job 30:19, Jer 38:6) 53. If thou are accustomed to say ‘I'm a Jew’— no one will be moved. If thou say ‘I'm a Roman’— no one will be disturbed. If thou say ‘I'm a Greek, a barbarian, a slave, a freeman’— no one will be troubled. If thou [say] ‘I'm a Christic°’— [everyone] shall heed. (Th 2!) May it occur that I have [received from him] in this manner, this which [the worldly] shall not be able to withstand when [they hear] this name! (Ac 5:41 versus 22:25) 54. (A) god is a cannibal. Because of this, mankind [is sacrificed] to it. Before mankind was sacrificed, animals were being sacrificed. For these to which they are sacrificed are not divinities. 62
(Isa 44:9-20!, Ph 14) 55. Vessels of glass and vessels of pottery always come forth thru fire. But if glass vessels break they are recast, (for¹) they had come to be by means of a breath². Yet if pottery vessels break they are destroyed, for they had come to be without breath. (¹asyndeton; ²=spirit; ceramics can only be recast before firing: Jer 18:4-10 19:11) 56. A donkey turning at a millstone did a hundred miles walking. (When¹) it had been released, it found itself still in the same place. There are persons who take many journeys and make no progress anywhere. When evening came upon them, they discerned neither city nor village, neither creation nor nature, neither power nor angel. In vain did the wretches toil! (Ps 127:2, Ecl 2:11; ¹asyndeton; Clement of Alexandria, in Stromata I.8.41, attributes to the Savior this saying: ‘These are they who ply their looms and weave nothing.’) 57. The Eucharist is Yeshua. For in Aramaic they call him farisatha (#rp)— this is, the outspread. For Yeshua came to crucify the world. (Odes of St Solomon 27:1-2— ‘I stretched out my hands and sanctified my Lord; for the extension of my hands is his sign.’) 58. The Lord went into the dyeworks of Levi°. He took 72 complexions°,¹ he threw them into the vat. He brought them all up white, and he says: This is how the Son of Mankind has come to you— he acts as (a) dyer.² (¹asyndeton; ²of the images; Ph 47; cp. ‘equalization’ in Th 61b; Gen 10 LXX lists 72 nations in all the world; also, Lk 10:1 in MSS p75 B D[05] mentions 72 Disciples) 59. The wisdom which (humans) call barren is herself the Mother of the Angels. (Pro 8:12+32, Lk 7:35!!, Ph 40) And the Companion° of the [Christ] is Mariam the Magdalene. The [Lord loved] Mariam more than [all the (other)] Disciples, [and he] kissed her often on her [mouth].¹ The other [women] saw his love for Mariam,² they say to him: Why do thou love [her] more than all of us? || The Savior° 63
