Part III — the restoration
Harold W. Attridge / Elaine H. Pagels (composite, abridged) · Public domain / scholarly composite. Reproduced for educational and religious commentary.
1When the time of the world is fulfilled, the Saviour shall come a second time. He shall raise the spiritual into the Pleroma. He shall translate the soulish, who have followed him, into the place of rest. The material shall return to matter; they shall not be punished, but they shall not ascend.
2The Logos who fell shall be restored; the emission shall be drawn back; the Pleroma shall be made whole. The world below shall be dissolved.
3The Father shall be all in all. The Aeons shall sing one praise. The spiritual race shall be united with their bridegrooms. There shall be no more division.
4This is the great mystery — the going forth of the All from the Father, and the return of the All to the Father. He who has gnosis of this mystery is at rest. He who is at rest is in the Father. He who is in the Father has nothing more to seek.
