...to praise. Everything [he] quickens, [even] the death for you; [to the] lawless [it is]... [unsearchable]; [unmoved]; and [what] is your form [as] light [shining]; [that which] is not manifest... [we] are transformed.

Come, let us [keep] the Passover, not only the burning [of the lamb], and [that which is] more naked than the old. For the legal Passover—I dare even to say—was a type of a type, [only] dimmer. But later [it is] fuller, more perfect, and purer. [It is] time [that] the Word [should] instruct the [understanding]... the one [who]... his flesh, [he] will dig up all [things]... [and] being taught [they] witness... for this [is] holy... that which is to be offered... The Passover

What [is] the disposition and condition? Why [was] the month to be learned [about]? [He] desired to teach and communicate to his own disciples the Law. For the instruction is prophetic, and the manner... [the] blood, [this is] precious, [that] we are transformed [by] the change. Let us not [offer]... [but] the whole [lamb]... let us not [offer] all things, nor [only] partially... let us [offer] [the] above metropolis; not the body which is under the [visible]... but the [one] which is glorified above.

I will say the greatest [thing]: let us sacrifice ourselves to God Theos. Or rather, let us sacrifice [ourselves] every day, and every movement. We accept all things for the sake of the Word. [Let us] imitate [his] suffering with [our] suffering. With blood, [the] blood... let us [go] to the cross eagerly. Sweet are the nails, and [though] they are small, [they are] great; the [great] Passover, [the offering] for Christ Christos. [He] is greater than any [sacrifice]...

Let us become [those] of the Lord; let us lift up the [unbloody]... [that] we may rejoice with... we shall acknowledge God Theos... If [you] were thought [to be] evil because of you and your sin, [forgive] the [one]... worship the one who was hung for you. As [he] was hanging, [gain] the [reward]... and past the wickedness. [Let] not the death [be] the... [Let us] go to the paradise with Jesus Iesous, so that [we] may learn that... and the diggings [of the grave]... [for] the [one] having been buried with him [will rise] with Jesus Iesous...
