The elder to the elect Cyria, and to her children, whom in truth I love with divine love; and not I, but also those having known the truth;

And now I entreat thee, O Cyria, not as writing to thee a new commandment, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another with divine love.

Take heed to yourselves, that you may not destroy those things which you have wrought, but may receive a full reward.

If any one comes to you, and does not bring this doctrine; do not receive him into your house, and do not bid him God speed:

Having many things to write to you, I would not write them with paper and ink: but I hope to come to you, and mouth to mouth to speak to you, in order that our joy may be full.
