                              splendour the whole day long.

                          13. "'Cast me not away in the time of age; if my soul fades, forsake me not.
                          14. "'For mine enemies have spoken evil against me and they who lay in wait for my
                              soul, have taken counsel against my soul,
                          15. "'Saying together: God hath forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is no

                   1.  The Saviour answered and said unto Peter: "Finely, Peter; this is the solution of her

                       repentance. Blessed are ye before all men on the earth, because I have revealed unto

                   3.  And, amēn, amēn, I say unto you:

                              regions of the First Mystery, so that he whom ye shall admit on earth, shall be
                              admitted into the Light of the height; and he whom ye shall expel on earth, shall
                              be expelled from the kingdom of my Father in the heaven.

                   5.  But hearken, therefore, and give ear attentively to all the repentances which Pistis
                       Sophia hath uttered.
                   6.  She continued again and uttered the third repentance, saying:
                          7.  "'O Light of powers, give heed and save me.

                          8.  "'May they who would take away my light, lack and be in the darkness. May they
                              who would take away my power, turn into chaos and be put to shame.
                          9.  "'May they turn quickly to darkness, who press me sore and say: We have
                              become lords over her.
                          10. "'May rather all those who seek the Light, rejoice and exult, and they who desire
