Final Logion: 114

Simon Peter said to them all,
"Mary should leave us,
for women are not worthy of this Life."

Yeshua said,

"Then, I myself will lead her,
making her male if she must become worthy like you males!
I will transform her into a living spirit
because any woman changed in this way
will enter the divine Realm."


This is the Good News According to Thomas

Logion 113: Kingdom

His students asked him,
"On what day will the kingdom arrive? "

"Its coming cannot be perceived from the outside," he said.
"You cannot say, 'Look, it's over there,'
or 'No, here it is.'
The Father's realm is spreading out
across the face of the earth,
and humanity is not able to perceive it. "

Logion 112: Awaken

Yeshua says...

Wretched is the flesh
that is dependent upon the soul,
and the soul that is dependent on the flesh.

Logion 111: Closer

Yeshua says...

Heaven and earth will completely disappear
in your presence,
and the one who lives by means of the Living One
will not see death,
because, as Yeshua says,
'The cosmos is not worthy
of the one who discovers the true Self.'

Logion 110: Mastery

Yeshua says...

Whoever finds the cosmos and becomes rich
must ultimately let the cosmos go.

Logion 109: Treasure

Yeshua says...

The divine Realm is like a man
who owned a field with treasure hidden away in it.
Unaware of it he died, leaving it to his son
who also knew nothing about it.
After taking possession of the land
the son practically gave it away for nothing.
But the one who bought it began plowing
and discovered the treasure,
and immediately started lending money at interest
to whomever he pleased.
