                                    135kingdom of the Light, which have purified you and made you into refined light, exceedingly purified, and ye have become purified light.9. \therefore, said unto you: Ye are to seek after the mysteries of the Light, which purify the body of matter and make it into refined light exceedingly purified.10. \torn myself asunder and brought unto them all the mysteries of the Light, that I may purify them, for they are the refuse of the whole matter of their matter; else would no soul of the total race of men have been saved, and they would not be able to inherit the kingdom of the Light, if I had not brought unto them the purifying mysteries.11. \but it is the race of men which hath need of them, because they all are material refuse.For this cause, therefore, have I said unto you aforetime: 'The healthy have no need of the physician, but the sick,'--that is: Those of the Light have no need of the mysteries, for they are purified lights; but it is the race of men which hath need of them, for [they] are material refuse [pl.].12. \day and night, until ye find the purifying mysteries; and say unto the race of men: Renounce the whole world and the whole matter therein.
