(25) " Blessed art thou, Lord of righteousness and God of the ages ; And may He bless thee beyond all the generations of men. May He give thee, my son, the path of righteous- ness, And reveal righteousness to thy seed.

(46) Of these births or genitures I will here write, and shew to the children of the last world what God is; not out of any boasting or pride, thereby to disgrace or reproach anybody! No; the spirit will instruct thee, meekly and friendly, as a father does his children; for the work is not from my fleshly reason, but the Holy Ghost's dear revelation, or breaking through in the flesh.

(19) And may the Lord God be a father to thee and thou the first-born son, and to the people alway. Go in peace, my son."

(7) Take me into understanding from grief, and take me from understanding and grief. Receive me into yourselves from other places ugly and destroyed. And steal from the good even in their ugliness. Out of shame take me to yourselves shamelessly. Without shame and with shame, rebuke what is mine in you and come to me, you who know me and you who know my members, and make great ones among small first creatures. Come to childhood and don't despise it, because it is small and tiny. Don't turn away the great in parts from the small, for the small is known from the great. Why do you curse and honor me? You wound me and have mercy. Don't separate me from the first you have known. Don't cast out or turn away, turn away and not know. . . . I know the first ones, and those after them know me. I am perfect mind and rest. . . . I am the knowledge of my search, the finding of those who look for me, the command of those who ask about me, the power of powers in my knowledge of angels sent at my word, and of gods in their seasons sent by my counsel, and of spirits of all who exist with me and of women who live in me.

(25) And may He make thy sons many during thy life, And may they arise according to the number of the months of the year. And may their sons become many and great beyond the stars of heaven, And their numbers be more than the sand of the sea.

(31) And I know, my son, that thou hast come on my account, and may this day be blessed on which thou hast seen me alive, and I also have seen thee, my son.

(1) And they will all be called children of the living God, and every angel and every spirit will know, yea, they will know that these are My children, and that I am their Father in uprightness and righteousness, and that I love them.

(105) I swear unto you, that in heaven the angels remember you for good before the glory of the Great One: and your names are written before the glory of the Great One.

(1) And their souls will cleave to Me and to all My commandments, and they will fulfil My commandments, and I shall be their Father and they will be My children.

(19) Add still further to thy kindness to him, And let thine eyes be upon him in love ; For he will be a blessing unto us on the earth from henceforth unto all generations of the earth.

(70) Therefore the Father loveth this his only begotten or innate Son so heartily, because he is the light and the meek beneficent welldoing in his body, through whose power the Father's joy and delight riseth up.

(19) Let thy hands be strong And let thy heart rejoice in thy son Jacob ; For I have loved him far beyond all my sons. He will be blessed for ever, And his seed will fill the whole earth.
