About this reading layout
Source wording, punctuation, paragraph boundaries and supplied line breaks are retained. Long prose also has editorial reading breaks at sentence boundaries. Substantial passages already enclosed in double quotation marks are set apart; this does not identify their source or establish a connection.
These added breaks are reading aids, not claims about the original manuscript’s layout. Poetry is lineated only where the downloaded text supplies line breaks. References and edition notes remain with their text.
Chapter 1
⟦page 43⟧ 1. My son Rheginos, some wish to learn many things. This is their objective when preoccupied with questions whose answers they lack.
2. If they are successful with these, they tend to think of themselves as quite important.
3. I, however, do not believe they have attained to the word of truth.
4. Instead, they look out for their own satisfaction, when we have received (true satisfaction) through our Savior, our Lord Christ.
5. ⟦page 44⟧ We obtained it when we knew the truth and found our repose in it.
6. Since, however, you politely request what is the correct (interpretation) of the resurrection, I write to you what is essential.
7. Many surely put no faith in it. A few, however, find it. Let us then discuss the topic.
