I:1-2 The Power of the Logos - from the Pleroma
1. The gospel of truth is joy to those who have received from the Father of truth the gift of knowing him by the power of the Logos, who has come from the Pleroma and who is in the thought and the mind of the Father; he it is who is called "the Savior," since that is the name of the work which he must do for the redemption of those who have not known the Father.
2. For the name of the gospel is the manifestation of hope, since that is the discovery of those who seek him, because the All sought him from whom it had come forth. You see, the All had been inside of him, that illimitable, inconceivable one, who is better than every thought.
II:1-6 Ignorance of the Father Brought About Terror and Fear.
1. This ignorance of the Father brought about terror and fear. And terror became dense like a fog, that no one was able to see.
2. Because of this, error became strong.
3. But it worked on its hylic substance vainly, because it did not know the truth.
4. It was in a fashioned form while it was preparing, in power and in beauty, the equivalent of truth.
5. This then, was not a humiliation for him, that illimitable, inconceivable one.
6. For they were as nothing, this terror and this forgetfulness and this figure of falsehood, whereas this established truth is unchanging, unperturbed and completely beautiful.
*III:1-6 ....do not take error too seriously...it had no root, it was in a fog as regards the Father...It did not become light beside the Father...did not exist with the Father, although it existed because of him....in him is knowledge, which was revealed...if they then come to know the Father, from that moment on forgetfulness will cease to exist.
1. For this reason, do not take error too seriously.
2. Thus, since it had no root, it was in a fog as regards the Father, engaged in preparing works and forgetfulnesses and fears in order, by these means, to beguile those of the middle and to make them captive.
3. The forgetfulness of error was not revealed.
4. It did not become light beside the Father.
5. Forgetfulness did not exist with the Father, although it existed because of him.
6. What exists in him is knowledge, which was revealed so that forgetfulness might be destroyed and that they might know the Father, Since forgetfulness existed because they did not know the Father, if they then come to know the Father, from that moment on forgetfulness will cease to exist.
*IV:1-8 That is the gospel of him whom they seek, which he has revealed to the perfect... as the hidden mystery, Jesus the Christ. Through him he enlightened those who were in darkness ...For this reason error was angry with him, so it persecuted him. ... so it made him powerless. He was nailed to a cross.
1. That is the gospel of him whom they seek, which he has revealed to the perfect through the mercies of the Father as the hidden mystery, Jesus the Christ.
2. Through him he enlightened those who were in darkness because of forgetfulness.
3. He enlightened them and gave them a path. And that path is the truth which he taught them.
4. For this reason error was angry with him, so it persecuted him. It was distressed by him, so it made him powerless.
5. He was nailed to a cross.
6. He became a fruit of the knowledge of the Father.
7. He did not, however, destroy them because they ate of it.
8. He rather caused those who ate of it to be joyful because of this discovery.
*V:1-5 And as for him, them he found in himself, and him they found in themselves, that illimitable, inconceivable one, that perfect Father who made the all, in whom the All is, and whom the All lacks, since he retained in himself their perfection, which he had not given to the all.
1. And as for him, them he found in himself, and him they found in themselves, that illimitable, inconceivable one, that perfect Father who made the all, in whom the All is, and whom the All lacks, since he retained in himself their perfection, which he had not given to the all.
2. The Father was not jealous. What jealousy, indeed, is there between him and his members?
3. For, even if the Aeon had received their perfection, they would not have been able to approach the perfection of the Father, because he retained their perfection in himself, giving it to them as a way to return to him and as a knowledge unique in perfection.
4. He is the one who set the All in order and in whom the All existed and whom the All lacked. As one of whom some have no knowledge, he desires that they know him and that they love him.
5. For what is it that the All lacked, if not the knowledge of the Father?
*VI:1-10 He became a guide ... In the middle of a school he ... spoke the Word, as a teacher. They hated him because they really were not wise men.
1. He became a guide, quiet and in leisure.
2. In the middle of a school he came and spoke the Word, as a teacher.
3. Those who were wise in their own estimation came to put him to the test.
4. But he discredited them as empty-headed people.
5. They hated him because they really were not wise men.
6. After all these came also the little children, those who possess the knowledge of the Father.
7. When they became strong they were taught the aspects of the Father's face.
8. They came to know and they were known.
9. They were glorified and they gave glory.
10. In their heart, the living book of the Living was manifest, the book which was written in the thought and in the mind of the Father and, from before the foundation of the All, is in that incomprehensible part of him.
"God Through Anne Terri With The Holy Spirit: At this point, the Seventh Paragraph of the Gospel of Truth degenerates into the subject of condoned Martyrism, in relation to Jesus' Crucifixion. This section is written as if the only way to Receive Revelations for My Book, is to be slain.
Anne, continue to place the appropriate Colors of The Third Testament, to Signify My Indications.
AMEN"
VII:1-6 This is the book which no one found possible to take, No one was able to be manifest from those who believed in salvation as long as that book had not appeared... the fortune of the deceased master of the house is hidden... for this reason Jesus appeared. He took that book as his own.
1. This is the book which no one found possible to take,
since it was reserved for him who will take it and be slain.
2. No one was able to be manifest from those who believed in salvation as long as that book had not appeared.
3. For this reason, the compassionate, faithful Jesus was patient
in his sufferings until he took that book since he knew that his death meant life for many.
4. Just as in the case of a will which has not yet been opened, for the fortune of the deceased master of the house is hidden,
so also in the case of the All which had been hidden as long as the Father of the All was invisible and unique in himself, in whom every space has its source.
5. For this reason Jesus appeared. He took that book as his own.
6. He was nailed to a cross. He affixed the edict of the Father to the cross.
VIII:1-4 He abases himself even unto death, though he is clothed in eternal life...he clothed himself in incorruptibility, which no one could possibly take from him... proclaiming the things that are in the heart of the Father, ...those who are to be taught, the living who are inscribed in the book of the living, learn for themselves, receiving instructions from the Father...
1. Oh, such great teaching! He abases himself even unto death, though he is clothed in eternal life.
2. Having divested himself of these perishable rags, he clothed himself in incorruptibility, which no one could possibly take from him.
3. Having entered into the empty territory of fears, he passed before those who were stripped by forgetfulness, being both knowledge and perfection, proclaiming the things that are in the heart of the Father, so that he became the wisdom of those who have received instruction.
4. But those who are to be taught, the living who are inscribed in the book of the living, learn for themselves, receiving instructions from the Father, turning to him again.
IX:1-5 Since the perfection of the All is in the Father, it is necessary for the All to ascend to him... he who is ignorant, is deficient... since he lacks that which will make him perfect...He registered them first, having prepared them to be given to those who came from him.
1. Since the perfection of the All is in the Father, it is necessary for the All to ascend to him.
2. Therefore, if one has knowledge, he gets what belongs to him and draws it to himself.
3. For he who is ignorant, is deficient, and it is a great deficiency, since he lacks that which will make him perfect.
4. Since the perfection of the All is in the Father, it is necessary for the All to ascend to him. and for each one to get the things which are his.
5. He registered them first, having prepared them to be given to those who came from him.
*X:1-11 Those whose name he knew first were called last, so that the one who has knowledge is he whose name the Father has pronounced.
1. Those whose name he knew first were called last, so that the one who has knowledge is he whose name the Father has pronounced. For he whose name has not been spoken is ignorant.
2. Indeed, how shall one hear if his name has not been uttered?
3. For he who remains ignorant until the end is a creature of forgetfulness and will perish with it.
4. If this is not so, why have these wretches no name, why do they have no sound?
5. Hence, if one has knowledge, he is from above.
6. If he is called, he hears, he replies, and he turns toward him who called him and he ascends to him and he knows what he is called.
7. Since he has knowledge, he does the will of him who called him.
8. He desires to please him and he finds rest.
9. He receives a certain name.
10. He who thus is going to have knowledge knows whence he came and whither he is going.
11. He knows it as a person who, having become intoxicated, has turned from his drunkenness and having come to himself, has restored what is his own.
because he is the Father. Children of this kind are those whom he loves.

aeon:
aeon has several meanings. It can be spelled as eon or æon.
Its original meaning was 'life' and or 'being'.
We use the word eon to mean, age, or eternity.
This is a Latin transliteration, which came from the koine Greek word
?
? (ho aion), from the archaic ?? (aiwon). If you read Homer, they define aeon as life to one's lifespan.
For our purposes, we need to see this word in terms of Gnosticism, for this is a Gnostic Gospel.
Aeon in their definition means one of a class of powers or beings conceived as emanating from the Supreme Being, and performing various functions in the operations of the universe.
hylic: made of matter, or relating to matter.
Pleroma generally refers to the totality of divine powers.

*JESUS TEACHES:
Matthew 5: 43-48 ''Love thy neighbor ....'' ''Your Father Which is in Heaven Is perfect.''
43: Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44: But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46: For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47: And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48: Be ye therefore perfect, even as your
Father which is in heaven is perfect.

*JESUS TEACHES: Why callest thou me good?
Mark 10:17-22 (Jesus Recites God's Commandments Teaching A Follower)
17: And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him,
Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
18: And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God.
19: Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
20: And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
21: Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven:
and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22: And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.

"Be wary if anywhere within The New Testament where it is written of Jesus or his Twelve Apostles sitting Judgment over the Twelve Tribes of Israel. This is one of the sad embellishments within, and is unfortunately mixed with the Truth, such as in this section Matthew 19:27-30 Peter's question of reward - judging the twelve tribes of Israel
Below are Good Lessons. We are here to Show the meaning of the first shall be last and the last first, as it is written above in paragraph X:1.
However be careful of paragraph X:3-4 for this was written without full knowledge of My Intent for those whom are chosen, and those who have yet to be called or Awakened.

MATTHEW 20 - STUDY GUIDE
Matthew Chapter 20: 1-16 – The Parable: The Kingdom of Heaven -Householder Hiring Vineyard Labourers
1: For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2: And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3: And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
4: And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
5: Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
6: And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7: They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.
8: So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9: And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10: But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
11: And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house,
12: Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
13: But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14: Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
15: Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
16: So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.
AMEN”
JESUS TEACHES ON JUDGMENT
Luke 12:13-15 Man, who made me a judge or divider over you?
13: And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14: And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
15: And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
John 8: 1-16 ''He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her ....Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man''
1: Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2: And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3: And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4: They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5: Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6: This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7: So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8: And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9: And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10: When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11: She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12: Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13: The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14: Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15: Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16: And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
John 12: 44-47 (Not To Judge, but to Save The World)
44: Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45: And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46: I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47: And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48: He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49: For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50: And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
