was

For thus it was from the beginning and will be to the end, that nothing should be His adversary, and nothing should stand up against Him.

And thirst was relieved and quenched: for from the Most High the draught was given.

And thirst was relieved and quenched: for from the Most High the draught was given.

He was reckoned like myself in order that I might put Him on;

And I trembled not when I saw Him: because He was gracious to me:

And He who created me when yet I was not knew what I should do when I came into being:

For by Him it was wrought, and He was resting in the Son, and for its salvation He will take hold of everything;

For by Him it was wrought, and He was resting in the Son, and for its salvation He will take hold of everything;

And peace was prepared for you, before ever your war was.

And peace was prepared for you, before ever your war was.

And they that are saved in Him that was saved;

I was strengthened and made mighty and took the world captive;

And I was unpolluted by my love for them, because they confessed me in high places: and the traces of the light were set upon their heart:

My heart was cloven and its flower appeared; and grace sprang up in it: and it brought forth fruit to the Lord,

And I was established upon the rock of truth, where He had set me up:

And I drank and was inebriated with the living water that doth not die;

And my inebriation was not one without knowledge, but I forsook vanity and turned to the Most High my God,

And I was enriched by His bounty, and I forsook the folly which is diffused over the earth; and I stripped it off and cast it from me:

And the Lord was like the sun shining on the face of the land;

And from it came love and concord; and they spake one to the other whatever was theirs; and they were penetrated by the Word;

And their alternations one to the other speak the beauty of God: IS And there is nothing that is without the Lord; for He was before any thing came into being:

I was crowned by my God: my crown is living:

And I was justified in my Lord: my incorruptible salvation is He.

I was loosed from vanity, and I was not condemned:

I was loosed from vanity, and I was not condemned:

The choking bonds were cut off by her hands: I received the face and the fashion of a new person: and I walked in it and was saved;

And all that have seen me were amazed: and I was regarded by them as a strange person:

Nothing appeared closed to me: because I was the door of everything.

And I imparted my knowledge without grudging: and my prayer was in my love:

And they were gathered to me and were saved; because they were to me as my own members and I was their head. Glory to thee our head, the Lord Messiah. Hallelujah.

My heart was lifted up in the love of the Most High and was enlarged: that I might praise Him for His name's sake.

My heart was lifted up in the love of the Most High and was enlarged: that I might praise Him for His name's sake.

And they supposed of that vain thing that it was something great;

A cup of milk was offered to me: and I drank it in the sweetness of the delight of the Lord.

The Son is the cup, and He who was milked is the Father:

And the Holy Spirit milked Him: because His breasts were full, and it was necessary for Him that His milk should be sufficiently released;

And because she was not sufficiently prepared, and she had not sought a midwife (for He brought her to bear) she brought forth, as if she were a man, of her own will;

And increasingly helpful to me was the thought of the Lord, and His fellowship in incorruption:

And I was lifted up in His light; and I served before Him,

My heart ran over and was found in my mouth: and it arose upon my lips; and the exultation of the Lord increased on my face, and His praise likewise. Hallelujah.

Thou wast there and didst help me, and in every place thy name was a rampart me

Thy way was without corruption, and thy face; thou didst bring thy world to corruption: that everything might be dissolved, and then renewed,

And His thought was like a letter; His will descended from on high, and it was sent like an arrow which is violently shot from the bow:

And His thought was like a letter; His will descended from on high, and it was sent like an arrow which is violently shot from the bow:

And it escaped their fingers and they were affrighted at it and at the seal that was upon it.

Because it was not permitted to them to loose its seal: for the power that was over the seal was greater than they.

Because it was not permitted to them to loose its seal: for the power that was over the seal was greater than they.

Because it was not permitted to them to loose its seal: for the power that was over the seal was greater than they.

And there was with it a sign of the Kingdom and of the Government:

The head went down to the feet, for down to the feet ran the wheel, and that which was a sign upon it.

The letter was one of command, for there were included in it all districts;

And there was seen at its head, the head which was revealed even the Son of Truth from the Most High Father,

And there was seen at its head, the head which was revealed even the Son of Truth from the Most High Father,

And He inherited and took possession of everything. And the thought of many was brought to nought.

And the letter was a great volume, which was wholly written by the. finger of God:

And the letter was a great volume, which was wholly written by the. finger of God:

And the name of the Father was on it, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, to rule for ever and ever. Hallelujah.

The Dove fluttered over the Messiah, because He was her head; and she sang over Him and her voice was heard:

The Dove fluttered over the Messiah, because He was her head; and she sang over Him and her voice was heard:

And no food was given to them, because it did not belong to them;

For they were corrupt from the beginning; and the end of their corruption was life:

And every one of them that was imperfect perished: for it was not possible to give them a word that they might remain:

And every one of them that was imperfect perished: for it was not possible to give them a word that they might remain:

For they who in their hearts were lifted up were deficient in wisdom, and so they were rejected, because the truth was not with them.

I was rescued from my bonds and unto thee, my God, I fled:

And I shall see him no more: because thy face was with me, which saved me by thy grace.

But I was despised and rejected in the eye of many: and I was in their eyes like lead,

But I was despised and rejected in the eye of many: and I was in their eyes like lead,

And strength was mine from thyself and help.

And I was clothed with the covering of thy Spirit, and thou didst remove from me my raiment of skin;

And I became admirable by the name of the Lord, and was justified by His gentleness, and His rest is for ever and ever. Hallelujah.

I believed; therefore I was at rest; for faithful is He in whom I have believed:

They who saw me marvelled at me, because I was persecuted, and they supposed that I was swallowed up: for I seemed to them as one of the lost;

They who saw me marvelled at me, because I was persecuted, and they supposed that I was swallowed up: for I seemed to them as one of the lost;

And my oppression became my salvation; and I was their reprobation because there was no zeal in me;

And my oppression became my salvation; and I was their reprobation because there was no zeal in me;

Because I did good to every man I was hated,

But I was carrying water in my right hand, and their bitterness I endured by my sweetness;

And I did not perish, for I was not their brother nor was my birth like theirs.

And I did not perish, for I was not their brother nor was my birth like theirs.

And they sought for my death and did not find it: for I was older than the memorial of them;

They sought to destroy the memorial of him who was before them.

And it came infinitely and invisibly: and until it was set in the midst they did not know it:

The abysses were dissolved before the Lord: and darkness was destroyed by His appearance:

Error went astray and perished at His hand: and folly found no path to walk in, and was submerged by the truth of the Lord.

And His face was justified, for thus His holy Father had given to Him.

And they made me a debtor when I rose up, me who had been a debtor: and they divided my spoil, though nothing was due to them.

But I endured and held my peace and was silent, as if not, moved by them.

And words from the Truth, who was self-originate: for He is strengthened by the holy power of the Most High: and He is unperturbed for ever and ever. Hallelujah.

But there stood a perfect virgin who was proclaiming and calling and saying,

It was to me for salvation: everything was shaken and they were affrighted;

It was to me for salvation: everything was shaken and they were affrighted;

And there came forth from them a smoke and a judgment; and I was keeping quiet in the order of the Lord:

More than shelter was He to me, and more than foundation.

And I was carried like a child by his mother: and He gave me milk, the dew of the Lord:

And I spread out my hands in the lifting up of my soul: and I was made right with the Most High, and I was redeemed with Him. Hallelujah.

And I spread out my hands in the lifting up of my soul: and I was made right with the Most High, and I was redeemed with Him. Hallelujah.

And made me stand on my feet in the height of the Lord, before His perfection and His glory, while I was praising Him by the composition of His songs.

The Spirit brought me forth before the face of the Lord: and, although a son of man, I was named the Illuminate, the Son of God:

While I praised amongst the praising ones, and great was I amongst the mighty ones.
