Today, it is a pleasure to share excerpts from Chapters 44 to 46 of “Pistis Sophia,” where we will learn of Pistis Sophia’s deep remorse for her past sins and longing for salvation. CHAPTER 45 Andrew Interprets the Sixth Repentance from Psalm 129. “Jesus Commends Andrew. […] Jesus said unto him: ‘Well said, Andrew, blessed one. This is the solution of her repentance. Amēn, amēn, I say unto you: I will perfect you in all mysteries of the Light and all gnoses from the interiors of the interiors to the exteriors of the exteriors, from the Ineffable down to the darkness of darknesses, from the Light of lights down to the . . . . of matter, from all the gods down to the demons, from all the lords down to the decans, from all the authorities down to the servitors, from the creation of men down to [that] of the wild-creatures, of the cattle and of the reptiles, in order that ye may be called perfect, perfected in all fulness. Amēn, amēn, I say unto you: In the region where I shall be in the kingdom of my Father, ye will also be with me. […]’” CHAPTER 46 The Repentance of Sophia Is Not Yet Accepted. “The Seventh Repentance of Sophia. When then she saw that […], she grieved exceedingly and lifted up her voice. ‘O Light, I have lifted up my power unto Thee, my Light. […] O Light, show me Thy ways, and I shall be saved in them; and show me Thy paths, whereby I shall be saved out of the chaos. And guide me in Thy light, and let me know, O Light, that Thou are my savior. On Thee will I trust the whole of my time.’ ‘For good and sincere is the Light. For this cause will it grant me my way, to be saved out of my transgression; And for my powers, which are diminished through the fear of the material emanations of Self-willed, will it draw near after its commandment, and will teach my powers, which are diminished because of the merciless, its gnosis. For all gnoses of the Light are saving means and are mysteries for all who seek the regions of its Inheritance and its mysteries.’”
