Today, it is a delight to share excerpts from chapters 47 and 48 of “Pistis Sophia,” where even during oppression Pistis Sophia continues her deep repentance and maintains her strong faith in the “Light of Truth.”CHAPTER 47 Jesus leads Sophia to a less confined region, but without the commandment of the First Mystery.“Jesus continued again in the discourse and said unto His disciples: ‘[…] When this then took place, Pistis Sophia did not know that I was her helper; nor did she know me at all, but she continued and persisted withal singing praises to the Light of the Treasury, which she had seen aforetime and on which she had had faith, and she thought that it [the Light] also was her helper and it was the same to which she had sung praises, thinking it was the Light in truth.
