21. "'And by thy commandment thou hast not suffered my fellow-emanations to
help me, nor hast thou suffered my pair to save me out of my afflictions.'

22. "This then is the fifth repentance which Pistis Sophia hath uttered in the chaos, when all
the material emanations of Self-willed had continued and oppressed her."

CHAPTER 42
1. When then Jesus had spoken these words unto his disciples, he said unto them: "Who
hath ears to hear, let him hear; and let him whose spirit seetheth up in him, come

forward and speak the solution of the thought of the fifth repentance of Pistis Sophia."
2. And when Jesus had finished saying these words, Philip started forward, held up and laid
down the book in his hand,--for he is the scribe of all the discourses which Jesus spake,

When it is then completed, thou art to come forward and proclaim what pleaseth thee.
4. Now, therefore, ye three have to write down all the discourses which I shall speak and

CHAPTER 43
1. When then Jesus had said this, he said unto his disciples: "Who hath ears to hear, let
him hear."
2. Mary started forward again, stepped into the midst, placed herself by Philip and said
unto Jesus: "My Lord, my in-dweller of light hath ears, and I am ready to hear with my

power, and I have understood the word which thou hast spoken. Now, therefore, my
