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 10
1. So, O Rheginos, think not in partial (truths), and live not according to this flesh for the sake of agreeing (with others).
2. Instead, flee divisions and bondages, and you will experience the resurrection now.
3. Because if what is mortal knows that it will die, even though it passes many years in this life, it arrives at this: Why not consider yourself as risen and having arrived?
4. If you possess the resurrection, why continue acting as if you will still die?
5. You should know that you are already dead.
6. You ignore this because of your lack of training.
7. It is appropriate for everyone to train in various ways, and they shall be released from this element so that they will not fall into error, but shall receive again what was from the beginning.
