3. 'O Light, by what shall I know when the three times will take place, so that I may be glad
and rejoice that the time is near for thee to bring me to my region, and moreover

rejoice therein that the time is come when thou wilt take the light-power from all them
which hate me, because I have had faith in thy light?'
4. "And I answered and said unto her: 'If thou seest the gate of the Treasury of the Great
Light which is opened after the thirteenth æon, and that is the left [one],--when that
gate is opened, then are the three times completed.'
5. "Pistis Sophia again answered and said: 'O Light, by what shall I know,--for I am in this

region,--that that gate is opened?'
6. "And I answered and said unto her:
7. 'When that gate is opened, they who are in all the æons will know because of
the Great Light which will obtain in all their regions.

8. But see, I have now settled that they shall venture no ill against thee, until the
three times are completed.
9. And thou wilt have the power of going down into their twelve æons, when it
pleaseth thee, and also of returning and going into thy region, which is below the
thirteenth æon, and in which thou now art.
10. But thou wilt not have the power of passing through the gate of the Height

which is in the thirteenth æon, so as to enter into thy region whence thou didst
come down.
11. Moreover, if then the three times are completed, Self-willed and all his rulers will
again constrain thee, to take thy light from thee, being enraged against thee and

thinking that thou hast imprisoned his power in the chaos, and thinking that
thou hast taken its light from it.
12. He will then be embittered against thee, to take from thee thy light, in order that
he may send it down into the chaos and it may get down to that emanation of
his, so that it may be able to come up out of the chaos and go to his region.
Adamas will attempt this.

13. But I will take all thy powers from him and give them unto thee, and I will come
to take them.
14. Now, therefore, if they constrain thee at that time, then sing praises to the Light,
and I will not delay to help thee. And I will quickly come unto thee to the regions
which are below thee. And I will come down to their regions to take their light

from them. And I will come to this region whither I have removed thee, and
which is below the thirteenth æon, until I bring thee to thy region whence thou
art come.'
15. "It came to pass then, when Pistis Sophia had heard me say these words unto her, that
she rejoiced with great joy. But I removed her to the region which is below the

thirteenth æon. I went to the Light and departed from her."
