                          18. "'He hath led up my soul out of the pit of misery and out of the filthy mire; he
                              hath set my feet on a rock and made straight my steps.
                          19. "'He hath put in my mouth a new song, a song of praise for our God. Many will
                              see and be afraid and hope in the Lord.'"
                   20. It came to pass then, when Andrew had set forth the thought of Pistis Sophia, that the
                       First Mystery said unto him: "Well said, Andrew, blessed one."





               CHAPTER 75
                   1.  And he continued again in the discourse and said unto the disciples: "These are all
                       adventures which have befallen Pistis Sophia.
                   2.  It came to pass then, when I had led her to the region which is below the thirteenth
                       æon, and was about to go unto the Light and depart from her, that she said unto me:
                          3.  "'O Light of lights, thou wilt go to the Light and depart from me.

                          4.  And Tyrant Adamas will know that thou hast departed from me and will know
                              that my saviour is not at hand.
                          5.  And he will come again to this region, he and all his rulers who hate me, and Self-
                              willed also will bestow power unto his lion-faced emanation, so that they all will

                              come and constrain me all together and take my whole light from me, in order

                              that they may not be able to constrain me from now on.'
                   7.  "It came to pass then, when I heard these words which Pistis Sophia had spoken unto
                       me, that I answered her, saying: 'My Father, who hath emanated me, hath not yet given

                       also seal the regions of Adamas and of his rulers, so that none of them may be able to
                       fight with thee, until their time is completed and the season cometh that my Father give

                       me commandment to take their light from them.'




               CHAPTER 76
                   1.  "And thereafter I said again unto her: 'Hearken that I may speak with thee about their
                       time, when this which I have said unto thee, will come to pass. It will come to pass when
