5. "And that mystery of the Ineffable is moreover also a one and only word, which existeth
in the speech of the Ineffable, and it is the economy of the solution of all the words

which I have spoken unto you.
6. "And he who will receive the one and only word of that mystery which I shall now say
unto you, and all its types and all its figures, and the manner of accomplishing its
mystery,--for ye are perfect and all-perfect and ye will accomplish the whole gnosis of
that mystery with its whole economy, for unto you all mysteries are entrusted,--
hearken, therefore, now, that I may tell you that mystery, which is [ . . .?].

7. "He then, who shall receive the one and only word of that mystery, which I have told
you, if he cometh forth out of the body of the matters of the rulers, and if the
retributive receivers come and free him from the body of matter of the rulers,--that is

those [receivers] who free from the body all out-going souls,--when, therefore, the
retributive receivers free the soul which hath received this one and only mystery of the
Ineffable, which I have just told you, then will it straightway, if it be set free from the
body of matter, become a great light-stream in the midst of those receivers, and the
receivers will be exceedingly afraid of the light of that soul, and the receivers will be
made powerless and fall down and desist altogether for fear of the great light which

they have seen.
8. "And the soul which receiveth the mystery of the Ineffable, will soar into the height,
being a great light-stream, and the receivers will not be able to seize it and will not know
how the way is fashioned upon which it will go. For it becometh a great light-stream and

soareth into the height, and no power is able to hold it down at all, nor will they be able
to come nigh it at all.
9. "But it will pass through all the regions of the rulers and all the regions of the
emanations of the Light, and it will not give answers in any region, nor giveth it any
apologies, nor giveth it any tokens; neither will any power of the rulers nor any power of
the emanations of the Light be able to come nigh that soul. But all the regions of the

rulers and all the regions of the emanations of the Light,--every one singeth unto it
praises in their regions, in fear of the light of the stream which envelopeth that soul,
until it passeth through them all, and goeth to the region of the inheritance of the
mystery which it hath received,--that is to the mystery of the One and Only, the
Ineffable,--and until it becometh one with its Limbs. Amēn, I say unto you: It will be in all

the regions in the time a man shooteth an arrow.

10. "Now, therefore, amēn, I say unto you: Every man who will receive that mystery of the
Ineffable and accomplish it in all its types and all its figures,--he is a man in the world,
but he towereth above all angels and will tower still more above them all.
