23. "And the word which thy power hath spoken: 'They have quickened souls, having
poured in the breath, so that they should not die,'--that is: When they had poured the

lights into Pistis Sophia, they quickened the body of her matter, from which they had
before taken its lights, and which was on the point of perishing.
24. "And again the word which thy power hath spoken: 'They have raised up limbs which
were fallen, or that they should not fall,'--that is: When they poured into her her lights,
they raised up all her powers which were on the point of being dissolved.
25. "And again as thy light-power hath spoken: They have received again their light and

have become as they were before '; and again the word which it hath spoken: 'They
have given light unto their eyes,'--that is: They have received sense in the Light and
known the light-stream, that it belongeth to the Height.
26. "And again the word which it hath spoken: 'They all have known themselves in the

Lord,'--that is: All the powers of Pistis Sophia have known one another through the light-
stream.
27. "And again the word which it hath spoken: 'They are saved through water of Life
eternal,'--that is: They are saved through the whole light-stream.
28. "And again the word which it hath spoken: 'The light-stream tore all to itself and drew it
over the temple,'--that is: When the light-stream had taken all the light-powers of Pistis

Sophia and had spoiled them from the emanations of Self-willed, it poured them into
Pistis Sophia and turned itself about and went out of the chaos and came over thee,--
thou who art the temple.
29. "This is the solution of all the words which thy light-power hath spoken through the Ode

of Solomon."

30. It came to pass then, when the First Mystery had heard Peter speak these words, that
he said unto him: "Well said, blessed Peter. This is the solution of the words which have
been spoken."

CHAPTER 66
1. And the First Mystery continued again in the discourse and said: "It came to pass then,
before I had led forth Pistis Sophia out of the chaos, because it was not yet commanded
me through my Father, the First Mystery which looketh within,--at that time then, after
the emanations of Self-willed had perceived that my light-stream had taken from them
the light-powers which they had taken from Pistis Sophia, and had poured them into
Pistis Sophia, and when they again had seen Pistis Sophia, that she shone as she had

done from the beginning, that they were enraged against Pistis Sophia and cried out
again to their Self-willed, that he should come and help them, so that they might take
away the powers in Pistis Sophia anew.
