1 Eternal Life together with Will, and Mind together with Precognition, attended and extolled the unseen Spirit and Barbelo, given that they had come into being on her account.
2 He also completed by the Spirit, the eternal self-generated God, the Son of Barbelo, so that he would attend him, the eternal, virginal, unseen Spirit, the self-generated God, the Christ, whom he had praised with great praise,
3 because he had come into being from his Primal Thought, he whom the unseen Spirit appointed as God over the All, as true God.
4 He bestowed on him all authority, and subjected to him the truth that is inside him, so that he would know the All, he whose name will be spoken to those who deserve it.
5 However, from Light, which is Christ, and Indestructibility, by means of the divine [Spirit, the] four great lights approached from the self-generated God to attend him.
6 The three are: Will, [and] Idea, and Life.
7 However, the four are: Grace, Understanding, Perception, Discretion.
8 Grace: with the first light, Harmozel, who is the angel of light dwelling in the first aeon, with whom there dwell three aeons: Grace, Truth, Form.
9 The second light: Oroiael, whom he appointed over the second aeon,
10 with whom dwell three aeons: Providence, Perception, Memory.
11 The third light: Daveithe, whom he appointed over the third aeon, with whom dwell three aeons: Understanding, Love, [Ideal Form].
12 However, the fourth light: [Ele]leth, whom he appointed over the fourth aeon,
13 with whom dwell three aeons: Perfection, Peace, Sophia.
14 These are the four lights who attend the self-generating God,
15 the twelve aeons who attend the Son, the great self-generated Christ, by means of the good will of the unseen divine Spirit. The twelve aeons pertain to the Son of the self-generate one.
16 By means of the will of the holy Spirit, by means of the self-generated one, was everything established.
