28. "And the word which thy power hath spoken through Solomon: 'It is thy right hand
which hath raised me up, and hath taken the sickness from me,'--it is the word which

Pistis Sophia hath spoken: 'And it is thy light-stream which hath raised me up in thy light
and hath taken from me the emanations of Self-willed which constrained me.'
29. "And the word which thy power hath spoken: 'I have become powerful in thy truth and
purified in thy righteousness,'--it is the word which Pistis Sophia hath spoken: 'I have
become powerful in thy light and purified light in thy stream.'
30. And the word which thy power hath spoken: 'My adversaries have withdrawn

themselves from me,'--it is the word which Pistis Sophia hath spoken: 'The emanations
of Self-willed which constrained me, have withdrawn themselves from me.'
31. "And the word which thy power hath spoken through Solomon: 'And I am justified in thy
goodness, for thy rest endureth unto all eternity,'--it is the word which Pistis Sophia

hath spoken: 'I am saved in thy goodness; for thou savest every one.'

32. "This then, O my Lord, is the whole solution of the repentance which Pistis Sophia hath
uttered, when she was saved out of the chaos and loosed from the bonds of the
darkness."

CHAPTER 70
1. It came to pass then when the First Mystery had heard Thomas say these words, that he
said unto him: "Well said, finely, Thomas, blessed one. This is the solution of the song
which Pistis Sophia hath uttered."
2. And the First Mystery continued again and said unto the disciples: "And Pistis Sophia
continued and sang praises unto me, saying:
3. "'I sing a song unto thee; through thy commandment hast thou led me down out

of the higher æon which is above, and hast led me up to the regions which are
below.
4. "'And again through thy commandment thou hast saved me out of the regions
which are below, and through thee hast thou taken there the matter in my light-

powers, and I have seen it.
5. "'And thou hast scattered far from me the emanations of Self-willed which
constrained me and were hostile to me, and hast bestowed power on me to
loose myself from the bonds of the emanations of Adamas.
6. "'And thou hast smitten the basilisk with the seven heads and cast it out with my
hands and hast set me above its matter. Thou hast destroyed it, so that its seed

may not raise itself up from now on.
