1.1 He Who Is, is ineffable. No principle knows him, no authority, no subjection, nor any creature from the foundation of the world until now, except he alone, and anyone to whom he wills to reveal himself through him who is from Infinite Light. Forevermore, I offer this great Salvation.
1.2 He Who Is, is immortal and eternal, having never been born. Everything that is born will perish. He is unbegotten, having no beginning. Everything that has a beginning has an end.
1.3 Because no one rules over him he has no name. Whatever has a name is the creation of another. He is unperceivable. He has no form. Whatever has form is the creation of another.
1.4 He has a semblance of his own— not like any you have perceived or thought— but a strange semblance that surpasses all things and is greater than the universe. It looks to every side and sees itself from itself.
1.5 He is infinite and ever incomprehensible. He is unchanging good. He is faultless. He is timeless. He is imperishable and has no likeness to anything. He is eternally blessed. 1.6 He is not knowable, yet he ever knows himself. He is immeasurable. He is untraceable. He is perfect, having no defect.
1.7 He is called, “Father of the Universe."
