The Word

The Gospel of Truth (I 16, 31-43, 24) 22.38-39, 23.1-35, 24.1-9
This is the knowledge of the living book, which he revealed to the aeons at the end as [his letters], revealing how they are not vowels nor are they consonants, so that one might read them and think of something foolish, but they are letters of the truth, which they alone speak who know them. Each letter is a complete [thought], like a complete book, since they are letters written by the Unity, the Father having written them for the aeons, in order that by means of his letters they should know the Father.
While his wisdom contemplates the Word, and his teaching utters it, his knowledge has revealed [it]. While forebearance is a crown upon it, and his gladness is in harmony with it, his glory has exalted it, his image has revealed it, his repose has received it into itself, his love has made a body over it, his fidelity has embraced it. In this way, the Word of the Father goes forth in the totality, as the fruit of his heart and an impression of his will. But it supports the totality; it chooses them and also receives the impression of the totality, purifying them, bringing them back into the Father, into the Mother, Jesus of the infinite sweetness.
