1 This is the way, beloved, in which we found our salvation, Jesus Christ [son of Mary, a messenger of GOD], [a teacher of] our offerings and [a guide in] our weakness. 2. Through him we fix our gaze on the heights of heaven, through him we [are reminded of] His faultless and lofty countenance, through him the eyes of our hearts were opened, through him our foolish and darkened understanding blossoms towards the light, through him the Master willed that we should taste the immortal knowledge. 3. For it is written thus: "Who maketh His angels spirits, and His ministers a flame of fire." 4. But of [Jesus] the Master said thus: "Thou art My [servant]: to-day have I [chosen] thee. Ask of Me, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession." 5. And again He says to him: "Sit thou on My right hand until I make thine enemies a footstool of thy feet." 6. Who then are the enemies? Those who are wicked and oppose His will.
