1 [16] The Gospel of Truth is a joy for those who’ve received grace from the Father of Truth, that they might know him through the power of the Word that came from the fullness – the one who’s in the thought and mind of the Father. They call him “Savior.” That’s the name of the work he’ll do to redeem those who had become [17] ignorant of the Father. And the term “the Gospel” is the revelation of hope, the discovery of those who search for him. (GTR) 2 Since all searched for the one from whom they had come – all were within him, the uncontainable, inconceivable one who’s beyond every thought – (and) since ignorance of the Father caused anguish and terror, and the anguish grew thick like a fog, so that no one could see – Error was strengthened. It worked on its own matter in vain, not knowing the Truth. (GTR)
