not, and it is by His Will that they are....
This is the Father, Ineffable, Unspeakable, Beyond Knowledge,
Invisible, Immeasurable, Infinite. He has produced those that are in
Him within Himself. The Thought of His Greatness has He brought forth
from non-being that He might make them to be. Incomprehensible is He
in His limbs. A Space has He made for His limbs that they might dwell
in Him and know Him for their Sire. From His First Thought (8) has He
made them come forth, and she has become a Space for them and given
them being....

In this wise has He created the Temple of the Pleroma. At the four
gates of the [Temple of] the Pleroma are four Monads, a Monad at each
gate, and six Supporters at each gate, in all four and twenty
Supporters, and four and twenty myriads of powers at each gate, nine
Enneads at each gate, ten Decads at each gate, twelve Dodecads at each
gate, and five Pentads of Powers at each gate. At each gate there is
an Overseer of triple aspect having countenances Ingenerable, True, and
Ineffable. Of these faces one gazes upon the external aeons without the
gate; another beholds Setheus, and the third looks upward to the
Sonship contained in every Monad. There it is that Aphredon is
discovered with his twelve Holy Ones and the Forefather, and in that
Space abides also Adam, the Man of the Light, with his three hundred
aeons. There also is the Perfect Mind. All these surround a Basket (9)
that knows no death. The Ineffable face of the Overseer, who is the
Warden of the Holy Place, gazes into the Holy of Holies upon the
Boundless One. Now this Warden has faces twain. One is disclosed from
the side of the Deep, the other from the side of the Overseer called
the Child (or Servant). For there is a Deep [within the Holy of
Holies] which is named "Light" (10), or "He who gives the Light," and
in this Abyss there is concealed an Alone-begotten Son. He it is who
manifests the Three Powers, who is mighty amongst all Powers.

This (? the Holy of Holies) is the Indivisible One, [the atom--Body or
Church] that can never be divided, in whom the All is discovered,
because all powers are hers.

He who is the Triple Power has three faces, an Aphredonian face that is
called Aphredon Pexos, in which is found a latent Only-begotten One.

When the (?) Idea comes out of the Deep, Aphredon takes the Thought to
conduct her to the Alone-begotten of Alone-begottens, to lead her to
the Child, so that she may
