Gospel of Philip 15

1Those who say that they will die first and (then) rise are wrong. If they do not first receive the resurrection while they are alive, they will receive nothing when they die. It is the same when they speak about baptism and say, “Baptism is a great thing,” because those who receive it will live.

2… Jesus came from that place and brought food from there, and to those who wanted, he gave them [to eat, so that] they would not die.

3… The cup of prayer has wine and water, since it is laid down as the type of the blood over which they give thanks. It fills with the Holy Spirit, and it belongs to the completely perfect human. …

4In this world, union is between male and female, the place of power and weakness. In the (eternal) age, the union is like something else, but we refer to them by the same names. There are other names, however, that are above every name that is named, and they are better than the strong, because where there is force, there are those who are even more powerful. They are not (two) different things, but both are the same thing. …

5Is it not necessary for everyone who has everything to know themselves completely? Some who do not know themselves will not be able to enjoy what they have, but those who have come to understand themselves will enjoy them.

6Not only will they be unable to bind the perfect human, but they will also be unable to see them (the perfect human), because if they see them, they will bind them. …

7The holy man (priest) is completely holy, down to his (very) body, because if he receives the bread, he will make it holy, or the cup, or anything else that he takes and purifies. Why would he not also purify the body?

8… Spiritual love is fragrant wine. All those who will anoint themselves with it enjoy it. …

9Whoever is an unwilling servant will be able to become free. Whoever has become free by the grace of their master and has sold themselves (back) into slavery will no longer be able to become free.
