Forgive the sins of these souls, blot out their unlawfulness, those which they did knowing, and those which they did not knowing, those which they did in fornication with adultery even until to-day: forgive them to them, and cause them to be worthy of being numbered in unto the kingdom of my Father, and be worthy of receiving out of this Oblation, my Father who (art) holy. If therefore my Father thou heardest me and forgavest the sins to these souls and blottedst out their unlawfulness, and thou causedst them to be worthy of being numbered in unto thy kingdom, thou shalt give to me a sign in this Oblation. And happened the sign which Jesus said. Said Jesus toward his disciples, Rejoice and be glad; because they forgave your sins, they blotted out your unlawfulness [335^a] and ye were numbered in unto the kingdom of my Father. But these having said them, the disciples rejoiced in great joy, said Jesus to them, This is the manner and this is the mystery which ye will do for the men who will believe you, having not guile in them, and hearkening to you in every word which is good. And their sins with their unlawfulness they will blot them out unto the day (in) which ye did this mystery.

Say therefore unto us their mystery, that we may inherit also the kingdom of thy Father. Said Jesus to them, These mysteries after which ye seek? There is not mystery more excellent than they, which is about to take your souls unto the Light of the Lights, unto the Places of the truth with the goodness, of the Place of him who is holy of all those who are holy, unto the Place in which there is not woman, nor is there male, nor is there shape in that Place, but [336^a] a light is being steadfast ineffable: there is not that which is more excellent therefore than those mysteries after which ye seek, except the mystery of the Seven Voices with their forty nine powers, and their tickets, and with the Name which is more excellent than all of them, the Name in which is becoming every name, and every light and every power. He who knoweth that Name, whenever he should come out of the body of the matter, shall
