1 Eternal Life also ‹with› his Will, and Mind with Precognition, attended and extolled the unseen Spirit and Barbelo, given that they had come into being on her account.
2 The holy Spirit also completed the self-generated God, his Son, together with Barbelo, so that he would attend the great and unseen, virginal Spirit of the self-generated God, the Christ, whom he had extolled with a loud voice.
3 He issued forth by means of Providence, and the unseen, virginal Spirit appointed the truly self-generated God over the All.
4 He also subjected every authority under him, as well as the truth to be inside him, so that he would know the All, he who had been named with a name exalted above every name, because that name will be spoken to those who deserve it,
5 given that from Light, which is Christ, and Indestructibilty, by means of the gift of the Spirit from the self-generated God [...]. He waited for them to attend him,
6 even the three: Will, Idea, and Life,
7 even the four powers: Understanding, Grace, Perception, Discretion.
8 Further, Grace pertains to the light-aeon Armozel — who is the first angel — and there are three more aeons together with this aeon: Grace, Truth, Form;
9 also the second light, Oriael, who had been appointed over the second aeon.
10 Further, there are three more aeons together with him: Reflection, Perception, Memory.
11 Further, the third light is Daveithai, who has been appointed over the third aeon, and there are three more aeons together with him: Understanding, Love, Ideal Form.
12 Further, the fourth aeon was appointed over the fourth light, Eleleth.
13 Further, there are three more aeons together with him: Perfection, Peace, Sophia.
14 These are the four lights who attend the self-generated God.
15 These are the twelve aeons who attend the Son of the Mighty One, the self-generated, Christ, by means of the will and the gift of the unseen Spirit, and the twelve aeons pertain to the self-generated Son.
16 Further, everything was established by means of the will of the holy Spirit, by means of the self-generated one.
