Eugnostos, el Bendito, para los que son suyos.

Rejoice in this, that you know. Greetings! I want you to know that all men born from thefoundation of the world until now are dust. While they ha e in uired about God, who he is andwhat he is like, they ha e not found him. "he wisest among them ha e s#eculated about thetruth from the ordering of the world. $nd the s#eculation has not reached the truth. %or theordering is s#oken of in three &different' o#inions by all the #hiloso#hers( hence they do notagree. %or some of them say about the world that it was directed by itself. )thers, that it is#ro idence &that directs it'. )thers, that it is fate. But it is none of these. $gain, of three oicesthat I ha e just mentioned, none is true. %or whate er is from itself is an em#ty life( it is self*made. +ro idence is foolish. %ate is an undiscerning thing.

Algrate en esto, que t sa es. !Saludos" #uiero que sepas que todos los$o% res nacidos desde la &undaci'n del %undo $asta a$ora son polvo.(ientras $an preguntado acerca de Dios, quin es y c'%o es l, no lo $anencontrado. Los %)s sa ios de ellos $an especulado acerca de la verdad delordena%iento del %undo. * la especulaci'n no $a llegado a la verdad. +ues elordena%iento se $a la en tres di&erentes- dict)%enes de todos los &il'so&os por lo tanto, no est)n de acuerdo. Algunos de ellos dicen acerca del %undoque &ue dirigido por s/ %is%o. 0tros, que es la providencia que lo dirige-.

0tros, que es el destino. +ero nada de eso es. 1na ve2 %)s, de las tres vocesque aca o de %encionar, ninguna es verdadera. +orque todo lo que es de s/%is%o es una vida vac/a es $ec$o a s/ %is%o. +rovidencia es una tonter/a. Eldestino es una cosa sin discerni%iento.

Whoe er, then, is able to get free of these three oices I ha e just mentioned and come bymeans of another oice to confess the God of truth and agree in e erything concerning him, heis immortal dwelling in the midst of mortal men.

El que, por tanto, es capa2 de li erarse de estas tres voces que aca o de

%encionar y venir por %edio de otra vo2 para con&esar el Dios de verdad y

e*Who*Is is ineffable. -o #rinci#le knew him, no authority, no subjection, nor any creature fromthe foundation of the world, e ce#t he alone. %or he is immortal and eternal, ha ing no birth( fore eryone who has birth will #erish. e is unbegotten, ha ing no beginning( for e eryone whohas a beginning has an end. -o one rules o er him. e has no name( for whoe er has a nameis the creation of another. e is unnameable. e has no human form( for whoe er has humanform is the creation of another. e has his own semblance * not like the semblance we ha erecei ed and seen, but a strange semblance that sur#asses all things and is better than thetotalities. It looks to e ery side and sees itself from itself. e is infinite( he is incom#rehensible.

e is e er im#erishable &and' has no likeness &to anything'. e is unchanging good. e isfaultless. e is e erlasting. e is blessed. e is unknowable, while he &nonetheless' knowshimself. e is immeasurable. e is untraceable. e is #erfect, ha ing no defect. e isim#erishably blessed. e is called /%ather of the 0ni erse/.

Before anything is isible among those that are isible, the majesty and the authorities that arein him, he embraces the totalities of the totalities, and nothing embraces him. %or he is all mind,thought and reflecting, considering, rationality and #ower.

-ow a difference e isted among the im#erishable aeons. 3et us, then, consider &it' this way4E erything that came from the #erishable will #erish, since it came from the #erishable.Whate er came from im#erishableness will not #erish but will become im#erishable, since itcame from im#erishableness. 5o, many men went astray because they had not known thisdifference( that is, they died.

A$ora e6ist/a una di&erencia entre los eones i%perecederos. =aga%os, pues,considerar esto- de esta %anera> Todo lo que vino desde el corrupti le perecer), ya que ven/a de lo perecedero.

es decir, ellos %urieron.But this much is enough, since it is im#ossible for anyone to dis#ute the nature of the words Iha e just s#oken about the blessed, im#erishable, true God. -ow, if anyone wants to belie ethe words set down &here', let him go from what is hidden to the end of what is isible, and this"hought will instruct him how faith in those things that are not isible was found in what is

isible. "his is a #rinci#le of knowledge.

+ero esto es su&iciente, ya que es i%posi le que alguien cuestione lanaturale2a de las pala ras que $e $a lado acerca del endito, i%perecedero,

"he 3ord of the 0ni erse is not rightly called /%ather/ but /%orefather/. %or the %ather is thebeginning & or #rinci#le' of what is isible. %or he &the 3ord' is the beginningless %orefather. esees himself within himself, like a mirror, ha ing a##eared in his likeness as 5elf*%ather, that is,5elf*Begetter, and as 6onfronter, since he confronted 0nbegotten %irst E istent. e is indeed of e ual age with the one who is before him, but he is not e ual to him in #ower.

El Seor del 1niverso no es lla%ado con ra2'n 9+adre9, sino 9+adre Ancestral:. +orque el +adre es el principio o principio- de lo que es visi le. +ues l elSeor- es el +adre Ancestral sin principio.

-ow the 0nknowable is e er full of im#erishableness and ineffable joy. "hey are all at rest inhim, e er rejoicing in ineffable joy, o er the unchanging glory and the measureless jubilation thatwas ne er heard or known among all the aeons and their worlds. But this much is enough, lestwe go on endlessly. "his is another #rinci#le of knowledge from 15elf*2begotten.

A$ora y a travs de este =o% re se origin' la divinidad y el reino. +or lotanto &ue lla%ado 9Dios de dioses9, 9 ey de reyes9.

%irst 8an is /%aith/ &/#istis/' for those who will come afterward. e has, within, a uni ue mind andthought * just as he is it &thought' * reflecting and considering, rationality and #ower. $ll theattributes that e ist are #erfect and immortal. In res#ect to im#erishableness, they are indeede ual. &But' in res#ect to #ower, there is a difference, like the difference between father andson, and son and thought, and the thought and the remainder.

$s I said earlier, among the things that were created the monad is first, the dyad follows it, andthe triad, u# to the tenths. -ow the tenths rule the hundredths( the hundredths rule thethousandths( the thousands rule the ten thousands.

$gain it is this #attern that e ists among the immortals4 the monad and the thought are thosethings that belong to Immortal 8an.

9...: In the beginning, thought and thinkings a##eared from mind, then teachings from thinkings,counsels from teachings, and #ower from counsels. $nd after all the attributes, all that wasre ealed a##eared from his #owers. $nd from what was created, what was fashioned a##eared.

$nd what was formed a##eared from what was fashioned. What was named a##eared fromwhat was formed, while the difference among begotten things a##eared from what was named,from beginning to end, by #ower of all the aeons. -ow Immortal 8an is full of e eryim#erishable glory and ineffable joy. is whole kingdom rejoices in e erlasting rejoicing, thosewho ne er ha e been heard of or known in any aeon that came after them and its worlds.

Al principio, pensaron y pensa%ientos aparecieron de la %ente, luego lasensean2as de los pensa%ientos, conse8os de las ensean2as, y poderes de losconse8os. * despus de todos los atri utos, todo lo que &ue revelado apareci'de sus poderes. * a partir de lo que &ue creado, lo que esta a %odeladoapareci'. * lo qu se &or%' apareci' de lo que esta a %odelado.

$fterward another #rinci#le came from Immortal 8an, who is called /5elf*#erfected Begetter./When he recei ed the consent of his consort, Great 5o#hia, he re ealed that first*begottenandrogyne, who is called, /%irst*begotten 5on of God/. is female as#ect is /%irst*begotten

5o#hia, 8other of the 0ni erse,/ whom some call /3o e/. -ow, %irst*begotten, since he has hisauthority from his father, created angels, myriads without number, for retinue. "he wholemultitude of those angels are called /$ssembly of the oly )nes, the 5hadowless 3ights./ -owwhen these greet each other, their embraces become like angels like themsel es.
