Chapter 13  
     
1.
 And they brought him (Adam) into the shadow of death, in order that they might form (him) again from earth and water and fire and the spirit which originates in matter, which is the ignorance of darkness and desire, and their counterfeit spirit.
 
2.
 This is the tomb of the newly-formed body with which the robbers had clothed the man, the bond of forgetfulness; and he became a mortal man.
 
3.
 This is the first one who came down, and the first separation.
 
4.
 But the Epinoia of the light which was in him, she is the one who was to awaken his thinking.
 
5.
 And the archons took him and placed him in paradise.
 
6.
 And they said to him, Eat, that is at leisure, for their luxury is bitter and their beauty is depraved.
 
7.
 And their luxury is deception and their trees are godlessness and their fruit is deadly poison and their promise is death.
 
8.
 And the tree of their life they had placed in the midst of paradise.
 
9.
 And I shall teach you all what is the mystery of their life, which is the plan which they made together, which is the likeness of their spirit.
 
10.
 The root of this (tree) is bitter and its branches are death,
 
11.
 its shadow is hate and deception is in its leaves,
 
12.
 and its blossom is the ointment of evil,
 
13.
 and its fruit is death and desire is its seed,
 
14.
 and it sprouts in darkness.
 
15.
 The dwelling place of those who taste from it is Hades, and the darkness is their place of rest.
 
16.
 But what they call the tree of knowledge of good and evil, which is the Epinoia of the light, they stayed in front of it in order that he (Adam) might not look up to his fullness and recognize the nakedness of his shamefulness.
 
17.
 But it was I who brought about that they ate.
