LITERATURE OF GNOSTIC WISDOMSong 12
He filled me with words of truth that I may speak the same.
Like flows of waters, truth flows from my mouth,
and my lips reveal its harvest.
It gives me the gold of knowledge,
for the mouth of the lord is the true word
and the door of his light.
The highest one gave the words to his worlds,
which interpret his beauty,
recite his praise, confess his thought
as heralds of his mind and instructors of his deeds.
The quickness of his words is unsayable,
and like his statement it is sharp.
Its course knows no end and never fails.
It stands. Its descent and ways are incomprehensible.
Like his work is its end,
which is the light and dawn of thought.
Through it worlds converse and the silent acquire speech.
From it came love and concord and candor,
and the word penetrated them and knew him who made it.
They came into concord.
The mouth of the highest one spoke to them,
and that word made him clear.
The dwelling place of the word is you,
and its truth is love.
Blessings on you who by it have learned everything
and have known the lord in his truth.Song 13
Look, the lord is our mirror.
Open your eyes and see your eyes in him.
And learn the way of your face
and praise his spirit.
Wipe the makeup from your face
and love his holiness. Dress in him.
Then at all times, dressed in him,
you will be stainless.
