I went up into the Light of Truth as into a chariot: And the Truth led me and brought me:
2And carried me across hollows and gulfs, And from the cliffs and reefs it preserved me;
3And became to me a Haven of Salvation; And set me on the arms of immortal life.
4And it went with me and made me rest and suffered me not to err; Because it was and is the Truth;
5And I ran no risk because I walked with Him; And I made no error in anything, because I obeyed Him.
6For Error fled away from Him: And would not meet Him:
7But Truth was proceeding in the right way; And whatever I did not know He made clear to me:
8All the drugs of Error and the plagues of death which are considered to be sweet (beverage).
9And I saw the Destroyer of the Corruptor when the Bride who was being corrupted was adorned, Along with the Bridegroom who corrupts and is corrupted.
10And I asked the Truth, Who are these? and He said to me: This is the Deceiver and the Error:
11And they imitate the Beloved and His Bride: And they lead astray and corrupt the world.
12And they invite many to the Banquet, And give them to drink of the wine of their intoxication;
13And they make them vomit up their wisdom and intelligence; And they deprive them of understanding;
14And then they leave them; And so these go about like madmen and corrupt; Since they are without heart; And do not seek after it.
15And I was made wise so as not to fall into the hands of the Deceiver; And I congratulated myself that the Truth had gone with me;
16And I was established and lived and was redeemed; And my foundations were laid by the Lord; For He planted me.
17For He set the root: And watered it and fixed it and blessed it: And its fruits will be for ever.
18It struck deep and sprang up and spread wide, And it was full and was enlarged.
19And the Lord alone was glorified, In His planting and His husbandry:
20In His care and in the blessing of His lips; In the beautiful planting of His right hand.
21And in the splendour of His planting, And in the thought of His mind. Hallelujah.
