1 There are two Sources – Jehovih and Matter, Light and darkness, Good and evil – in all ways quite opposite, for they share nothing with each other, Jehovih being good and having nothing in common with evil.

2 In ancient times there were no heavens and no earths – only Light and dark existed, one apart from the other.

3 The nature of the Light is Wisdom, the nature of the dark is ignorance; in all their movement and in all their rest there is no case where these two Principles are not opposed.

4 Jehovih excels more in Good than Matter in evil.

5 For while the Light is like a good Tree full of good fruits, Matter is an evil tree bearing fruits consistent with its root.

6 Now the fruits of that evil root are fornications, adulteries, murders, avarice, and all evil deeds which the Father of Greatness has not planned.

7 It is as when two kings are fighting against each other, being enemies from the first, and having each his own property.

8 Now the Good Source dwells in the Region of Light, and His name is Jehovih the Father of Greatness, and His Five Tabernacles are dwelling with Him: Reason, Mind, Intelligence, Thought, Understanding; and there is no limit to the Light from above, nor to the right or left.

9 And aligned with Jehovih, there are other Powers, just like handmaids, all good: the Bright and the Light and the Above – all these are with the Creator.

10 But the evil source, the beast named the King of Darkness, dwells in its dark earth, in its five worlds: Smoke and Fire and Hot Wind and Danger-Water and Gloom; nor is there a limit to the darkness from below, either to right or to left. And with Matter are Dim and the Dark and the Below and others like them, all evil.
