Answered the Saviour, said he to Petros, Well (said), Petros, this is the explanation of her repentance.
Ye are happy (ones) beyond every man who is upon the earth, because [56 ] I revealed unto you these mysteries.
Verily verily I say to you, I shall complete you with every Pleroma from the mysteries of the inward part even unto the mysteries of the outward part; and I shall fill you with the spirit, that they should call you the spiritual (ones), completed with every Pleroma.
And verily verily I say to you, that I shall give to you all the mysteries of all the Places of my Father, and of all the Places of the First Mystery, that that which ye will accept upon the earth, they shall accept unto the Light of the Height, and they whom ye will reject upon the earth, they will reject in the kingdom of my Father which is in the heavens.
Nevertheless therefore hear and listen [57 ] unto all the repentances, these which said the Pistis Sophia.
She added also, she said the third Repentance, saying, O Light of the powers, take heed and deliver me: let them be diminished and be in the darkness, these who wish to take away my light in me.
Let them turn them unto the Chaos and be 31 ashamed, those who wish to take away my power.
Let them turn them unto the darkness quickly, these who afflict me, who say, We are lords over her.
Let them rejoice indeed and be cheerful, every one who seeketh for the Light, and let them say in every time, Let the Mystery be exalted, those who wish (for) thy mystery.
Me therefore now, O Light, deliver me, because I diminished (in) my light which they took away, and I am [57 ] lacking in my power which they took away from me.
Thou therefore, O Light, thou art my Saviour and thou art my deliverer, O Light, Hasten and deliver me from this Chaos.
But it happened, Jesus having finished saying these words unto his disciples, saying, This is the third repentance which said the Pistis Sophia: said he to them, He in whom was exalted the spirit of perception, let him come forward and say the meaning of the repentance which said the Pistis Sophia.
It happened therefore, before that finished speaking Jesus, came forward Martha, she prostrated at his feet, she kissed them, she cried out, she wept in a cry, and in humility saying My Lord have mercy on me and pity me, and let me [58 ] say the explanation of the repentance which said the Pistis Sophia.
And Jesus helped Martha, he said he to her, Happy is every man who is wont to humble himself, because he is he on whom they will have mercy.
Now therefore Martha thou art happy.
Nevertheless therefore utter the explanation of the meaning of the repentance of the Pistis Sophia.
But answered Martha, said she to Jesus in the midst of the disciples, Concerning the repentance which said, O my Lord Jesus, the Pistis Sophia, prophesied once thy power of Light which (is) in David in the sixty-ninth psalm saying, O Lord God take heed unto my help.
Let them [58 ] be ashamed and disgraced, those who seek after my soul.
Let them turn them henceforth and be ashamed, those who say to me, Well (done).
Well (done)!
Let them be glad and delighted over me, every one who seeketh after thee, and say at every time, Let God be exalted, even those who love thy salvation.
But I am poor I am miserable, O Lord help me.
Thou art my helper and my trust, O Lord, tarry not.
Eckhart's signature doctrine that the Father eternally begets the Son in the ground of the soul; the human interior as the actual site of the divine generative act, distinct from inner_light's static indwelling.
The passage explicitly states that the spirit of perception was exalted within David and that Martha is called to utter the explanation from her own inner state.
Pronoia — the doctrine that the divine actively orders the unfolding of the cosmos and human affairs toward intelligible ends, against pure chance or blind necessity.
The text describes God actively revealing mysteries and ordering the acceptance or rejection of those mysteries.
Final, collective cosmic judgment as an event in which the wicked are sentenced and the cosmos restored; distinct from psychopomp_journey (individual passage at death) and emphasising verdict where Zoroastrian frashokereti emphasises restoration.
The passage outlines a final decision where those accepted on earth are exalted in the Light of the Height and those rejected are rejected in the Kingdom of Heaven.
The felt condition of exile from one's divine origin — Rumi's reed flute torn from its bed, Plotinus's 'we have forgotten,' the Gnostic forgetfulness; the affective wound that complements return_to_source and gives the return its motive.
The Pistis Sophia laments being diminished in her light and power by those who seek to take it away.
The doctrine — central to Eastern Orthodox and Maximian theology — that the human person is progressively transformed into a partaker of the divine nature by grace, not merely justified or united in passing ecstasy.
Disciples are promised to be completed with every Pleroma and called spiritual ones by divine grace.
