Chapter 3  
     
1.
 Light and Darkness, life and death, right and left, are brothers of one another. They are inseparable.
 
2.
 Because of this neither are the good good, nor evil evil, nor is life life, nor death death.
 
3.
 For this reason each one will dissolve into its earliest origin.
 
4.
 But those who are exalted above the world are indissoluble, eternal.
 
5.
 Names given to the worldly are very deceptive, for they divert our thoughts from what is correct to what is incorrect.
 
6.
 Thus one who hears the word God does not perceive what is correct, but perceives what is incorrect.
 
7.
 So also with the term Father and the term Son and the term Holy Spirit and the term life and the term light and the term resurrection and term the Church; and all the rest –
 
8.
 People do not perceive what is correct but they perceive what is incorrect, unless they have come to know what is correct.
 
9.
 The names which are heard are in the world [...] deceive.
 
10.
 If they were in the age, they would at no time be used as names in the world.
 
11.
 Nor were they set among worldly things. They have an end in the age.
