Some [mystery] of [the one] becoming flesh and not being changed. So that [we might] be made dense. We were mingled together so that we might rise together, eat together; since we were corrupted together, we were glorified together. Since [there is] a fellow-warrior; but let [the one] fight back.

[Of] the time of the miracle; God being lifted up; the sun being darkened; and by humiliation being inflamed. For such [things] [are] sympathetic even of the creation.

Earth shaking; rocks splitting; the dead rising for the faith of the last and common resurrection. The signs at the tomb; the things after the tomb; which someone might worthily praise.

For I rejoice in all these names; [they are] the stripping of the Great One, and my impulse and seal. As the greatest Word, and the [treasury] of [the] wealth, which from the Father having put on the fullness of power. You remember this word, as the firstfruits, but woven together, of our fruit-bearing. The same is a thanksgiving and a supplication.

If we are cleansed by you, if we are made to rest worthily of your God, and it shall be given to the evening tents, to the vessels, and to God himself. It will be needed.
