shining throughout; and the light-powers also in Pistis Sophia, which the emanations of
Self-willed had not taken, became joyful again and filled themselves with light.

7. And the lights which were poured into Pistis Sophia, quickened the body of her matter,
in which no light was present, and which was on the point of perishing or perished.
8. And they raised up all her powers which were on the point of being dissolved.
9. And they took unto themselves a light-power and became again as they were before,
and they increased again in their sense of the Light.
10. And all the light-powers of Sophia knew themselves mutually through my light-stream

and were saved through the light of that stream.
11. And my light-stream, when it had taken away the lights from the emanations of Self-
willed, which they had taken away from Pistis Sophia, poured them into Pistis Sophia,
and turned itself about and went up out of the chaos."

12. When then the First Mystery said this to the disciples, that it had befallen Pistis Sophia
in the chaos, he answered and said unto them: "Understand ye in what manner I
discourse with you?"

CHAPTER 65
1. Peter came forward and said: "My Lord, concerning the solution of the words which
thou hast spoken, thus hath thy light-power prophesied aforetime through Solomon in

his Odes:
2. "'A stream came forth and became a great wide flood.
3. "'It tore away all to itself and turned itself against the temple.
4. "'Dams and buildings could not hold it, nor could the art of them who hold the
waters.
5. "'It was led over the whole land and laid hold of all.

6. "'They who were on the dry sand, drank; their thirst was quieted and quenched,
when the draught from the hand of the Highest was given.
7. "'Blessed are the ministers of that draught, to whom the water of the Lord is
entrusted.

8. "'They have refreshed parched lips; they whose power was taken away, have
gotten joy of heart and they have laid hold of souls, having poured in the breath,
so that they should not die.
9. "'They have raised up limbs which were fallen; they have given power to their
openness and light unto their eyes.
10. "'For they all have known themselves in the Lord and are saved through the

water of Life eternal.'
