³² He who takes another man's wife is without all sense: he who does it is the cause of destruction to his soul.

¹⁶ Whoever is simple, let him come in here: and to him who is without sense, she says:

²⁵ At that time Jesus made answer and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children.

⁷ The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.

¹³⁰ The opening of your words gives light; it gives good sense to the simple.

²² How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?

¹⁷ For you say, I have wealth, and have got together goods and land, and have need of nothing; and you are not conscious of your sad and unhappy condition, that you are poor and blind and without clothing.

¹⁸ If you are wise you will get from me gold tested by fire, so that you may have true wealth; and white robes to put on, so that your shame may not be seen; and oil for your eyes, so that you may see.

¹⁷ And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him who gives ear, say, Come. And let him who is in need come; and let everyone desiring it take of the water of life freely.
