1. When the Holy Spirit came, he revealed to us the path of Truth, he taught us that two Natures exist, that of the Light and that of the Darkness, separate from one another since the beginning. While the Kingdom of the Light exists in five Greatnesses, namely the Father and His twelve Aeons, and the Aeons of the Aeons, the Living Air, the Land of Light, with the great Spirit breathing in them (and) nourishing them with His Light the Kingdom of Darkness exists in five storehouses, namely the Smoke and Fire and Wind and Water and Darkness, their Counsel creeping in them, moving them, and inciting them to make war on one another.
2. Now then, as they were warring on each other, they dared to make a raid on the Land of Light, thinking in themselves that they would be able to conquer it. But they do not know that what they have thought against it they will bring down upon them-selves.
3. There was a host of Angels in the Land of Light, having the power to come out to 'subdue the Enemy of the Father, who was pleased that He should send Himself through His Word to subdue Rebels who desired to raise themselves over the one higher than they. Like a shepherd who shall see a lion coming to destroy his sheepfold: for he plays a trick and takes a lamb and sets it as a decoy that he may catch it thereby, for by means of a single lamb he saves his sheepfold, (and) afterwards he heals the lamb that has been wounded by the lion. The same is the method
 of the Father, who has sent His strong Son, and he in turn produced from himself his Maiden furnished with live powers she might give fight against the five abysses of the Darkness.
4. When the Watcher had stood up in the boundaries of the Light, he showed them his Maiden who is his Soul; they moved themselves in their abyss  wishing to lift themselves upon her, they opened their mouth desiring to swallow her. He controlled
her power, she spread her over them like nets over fishes, she made her rain down upon them like purified clouds of water; she thrust herself into them like a piercing lightning, she crept within them and bound them all unawares. When the First Man had finished his war the Father sent His second Son; he came and gave a hand to his brother out of the Abyss.
5. He established this whole universe out of the mixture of the Light and the Darkness that had occurred. He spread out all the Powers of the Abyss to ten heavens and eight earth’s, he enclosed them in this universe together; he made it both a prison for all the Powers of the Darkness, while it is also a place of purifying for the Soul that had plunged (?) into them. The Sun and the Moon were established, were placed on high, so that they might purify the Soul; the refined part they daily carry up on high, while they sweep out the dregs . . . mixed (?),they convey above and below.
 6. This whole universe standing firm for a while as a great Building is being built outside this universe.
In the hour that that Builder shall finish, the universe shall be all dissolved and set on fire, so that it may k smelted away. All life, the remnant of the Light which is in every place, he will gather to himself and fashion of it a Statue; while as for the Counsel of Death, the whole Darkness, he shall gather it in and make it into a picture of its own self, it and the slaves of the Ruler.
7. The Living Spirit comes in a moment; . . . he will give hand to the Light, but the Counsel of Death and the Darkness he will confine in the storehouse that was established for it, for it shall be bound therein for ever. There is no means of binding the Enemy
 save this means, for he shall not be received to the Light because he is a stranger to it, nor again can they leave him in his land of Darkness, lest he should wage a (new) war greater than the first. A new Aeon will be built instead of this universe, which shall dissolve that the Powers of Light may reign within it, because they have done, have fulfilled, the Father's whole will, they have subdued the Hated One, they have trampled on him for ever.
8. This is Mani's Knowledge let us worship him and bless him. Hail to everyone who shall trust in him, for he is the one who shall live with all the Righteous (MP. 9 : 2 11: 23).
