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 9
1. Yet what am I telling you? Those who are alive shall die? How do they live in an illusion?
2. The rich have become poor, and the kings are cast down.
3. Everything is subject to change.
4. The world is an illusion, if in fact I do not exaggerate the situation.
5. The resurrection, however, does not have that (illusory, passing) nature, because it is the reality that remains firm.
6. It is the revelation of what exists, even the transfiguration of things, and a transformation into what is new.
7. Because imperishability ⟦page 49⟧ [will descend] on the perishable.
8. The light will flow down on the darkness, swallowing it up.
9. The Fullness then will fill the Deficiency.
10. These are symbols and images of the resurrection. This makes for what is good.
