Mead, [1921]\nThe second repentance of Sophia.Jesus continued again in the discourse and said: \"Pistis Sophia again continued and still sang praises in a second repentance, saying thus:\n\"'1. Light of lights, in whom I have had faith, leave me not in the darkness until the end of my time.\n\"'2. Help me and save me through thy mysteries; incline thine ear unto me and save me.\n\"'3. May the power of thy light save me and carry me to the higher \u00e6ons; for thou wilt save me and lead me into the height of thy \u00e6ons.\n\"'4. Save me, O Light, from the hand of this lion-faced power and from the hands of the emanations of god Self-willed.\n\"'5. For it is thou, O Light, in whose light I have had faith and in whose light I have trusted from the beginning.\n\"'6. And I have had faith in it from the time when it emanated me, and thou thyself didst make me to emanate; and I have had faith in thy light from the beginning.\n\"'7. And when I had faith in thee, the rulers of the \u00e6ons mocked at me, saying: She hath ceased in her mystery. Thou art |57. my saviour and thou art my deliverer and thou art my mystery, O Light.\n\"'8. My mouth was filled with glorifying, that I may tell of the mystery of thy grandeur at all times.\n\"'9. Now, therefore, O Light, leave me not in the chaos for the completion of my whole time; forsake me not, O Light.\n\"'10. For all the emanations of Self-willed have taken from me my whole light-power and have surrounded me. They desired to take away my whole light from me utterly and have set a watch on my power,\n\"'11. Saying one to another together: The Light hath forsaken her, let us seize her and take away the whole light in her.\n\"'12. Therefore then, O Light, cease not from me; turn thee, O Light, and save me from the hands of the merciless.\n\"'13. May they who would take away my power, fall down and become powerless. May they who would take away my light-power from me, be enwrapped in darkness and sink into powerlessness.'\n\"This then is the second repentance which Pistis Sophia hath uttered, singing praises to the Light.\"","title":"Pistis Sophia: The First Book of Pistis Sophia: Chapter 35","type":"page"}
