14. "The word then which thy light-power hath spoken through Solomon: 'I am saved from
the bonds and am fled unto thee, O Lord,'--it is the word which Pistis Sophia hath

spoken: 'I am loosed from the bonds of the darkness and am come unto thee, O Light.'
15. "And the word which thy power hath spoken: 'Thou wert on my right hand, saving and
helping me,'--it is again the word which Pistis Sophia hath spoken: 'Thou art become a
light on all sides of me, [saving me] and helping me.'
16. "And the word which thy light-power hath spoken: 'Thou hast hindered my adversaries
and they have not been revealed,'--it is the word which Pistis Sophia hath spoken: 'And

the emanations of Self-willed which fought against me, thou hast hindered through thy
light, and they could not come nigh me.'
17. "And the word which thy power hath spoken: 'Thy face was with me, saving me in thy
grace,'--it is the word which Pistis Sophia hath spoken: 'Thy light was with me, saving me

in thy light-stream.'

18. "And the word which thy power hath spoken: 'I was despised in the sight of many and
cast out,'--it is the word which Pistis Sophia hath spoken:
19. The emanations of Self-willed constrained me and took my power from me, and I have
been despised before them and cast out into the chaos, with no light in me.'

20. "And the word which thy power hath spoken:
21. I have become as lead in their sight,'--it is the word which Pistis Sophia hath spoken:
'When they had taken my light from me, I became as heavy-weighing matter before

them.'
22. "And moreover the word which thy power hath spoken: 'Through thee I have gotten a
power for me which helped me,'--it is again the word which Pistis Sophia hath spoken:
'And thereafter came a light-power unto me through thee which saved me.'

23. "And the word which thy power hath spoken: 'Thou hast set lamps on my right and on

my left, so that no side of me may be without light,'--it is the word which Pistis Sophia
hath spoken:
24. 'Thy power shone on my right and on my left and surrounded me on all sides of me, so
that no part of me was without light.'

25. "And the word which thy power hath spoken:
26. 'Thou hast overshadowed me with the shadow of thy grace,'--it is again the word which
Pistis Sophia hath spoken: 'And thou hast covered me with the light of the stream.'
27. "And the word which thy power hath spoken: I was relieved of the coats of skin,'--it is
again the word which Pistis Sophia hath spoken: 'And they have purified me of all my

evil matters, and I raised myself above them in thy light.'
