(his) abilities. His progeny are his sons who came forth thru (his) repose. Because of this, his power governs in his works, yet his repose is manifest in (his) sons. And thou will find that this penetrates unto the imagery. And this is the Mirrored Person: doing his works in his power, yet in repose begetting his Sons. (Jn 5:19, Th 50!) 94. In this world the slaves are forced to work for the free. In the Sovereignty of the Heavens the free shall act to serve the slaves: the Sons of the Bridal-Chamber shall serve the sons of marriage. The Sons of the Bridal-Chamber have [a single] name among them, the repose occurs among them mutually,¹ they are made to have no needs. [...] (Lk 20:34-36!, Ac 4:34-5, Ph 64; ¹asyndeton) 95. The contemplation° [of the imagery is aware]ness in greatness of glory.¹ [Truly there is immortal]ity within those in the [Holy Bridal-Chamber, who receive] the glories of those who [are fulfilled]. (¹cp. Aristotle, Metaphysics XII.7 1072b.23) 96. [He who goes down] into the water does not [...] go down to death,¹ [... for] (Christ) shall atone him [once he has gone] forth— namely those who were [called to be fulfilled] in his Name. For he says: [Thus] we must fulfill all righteousness. (=Mt 3:15!; ¹this appears to be an explicit rejection of Paul's doctrine in Rom 6:3-4) 97. Those who say that first they shall die and (then) they shall arise are confused. If they do not first receive the resurrection (while¹) they live,² they will receive nothing (when¹) they die. Thus also it is said regarding Baptism,³ (that¹) Baptism is great, (for¹) those who receive it shall live. (¹asyndeton; ²Jn 11:26, Ph 22; ³manuscript dittography here omitted) 98. Philip° the Apostle says: Joseph° the Carpenter planted a grove because he had needed wood for his craft. He himself made the cross from the trees that he had planted, and his heir° hung 72
on that which he had planted. His heir was Yeshua, yet the plant was the cross¹. But the tree of life (is) in the midst of paradise— and the olive tree, from the heart of which the Chrism came thru him of the resurrection. (¹anti-Gnostic; difficult to interpret: perhaps a parable composed by the Apostle Philip, wherein Joseph represents mankind and Christ is the Son of Mankind; Mt 13:55, Ex 30:2233, Dt 21:22-23, Rev/Ap 22:2) 99. This world devours corpse(s)— furthermore, those eaten in it themselves die. The true (person) consumes life— therefore no one nourished in [the truth shall] die. Yeshua came from within that place, and he brought nourishment from there. And to those whom he wished he gave their lives, so that they not perish. (Jn 6:53, Th 11 60, Ph 15) 100. God [created] a garden-paradise. Mankind [lived in the] garden, [... but] they were not in the [...] of God in [...] their hearts' [...] given desire. [...] This garden [is the place] where it will be said to me: [Thou may eat] this or not eat [this, according to thy] desire.¹ This is the place (where) I shall consume every different (thing)— there being there the tree of knowledge, which slew Adam. Yet (in) this place the tree of knowledge gave life to mankind. The Torah° was the tree. It has (the) capability in itself to bestow the knowledge of good and evil. It neither cured him of the evil nor preserved him in the good, but rather it caused those who had ingested it to die. For death originated because of its saying: Eat this, but do not eat (that)! (Th 113, Gen 2:1617; ¹Isak Dinesen, ‘Sorrow Acre’, Winter’s Tales: ‘The Garden of Eden, newly created; from every tree of which ... thou, my Adam, mayest freely eat.’) 101. The Chrism is made lord over the Baptism. (Mt 3:11) For from the Chrism we are called Christic(s, and¹) not because of the Baptism. And (he) was called the Christ because of the Chrism. For the Father anointed the Son, yet the Son anointed the Apostles, yet the Apostles anointed us. (Lk 4:18, Jn 20:21-22, Ac 6:5-6!!) He who 73
