On the Origin of the World 7

1After this, he created an assembly of angels—countless thousands and tens of thousands—which looked like the assembly in the eighth heaven. He also created a firstborn called “Israel,” that is, “the Man Who Sees God,” and another being called “Jesus Christ.” This being looks like the savior who lives above in the eighth heaven and sits at his right hand on a holy throne. At his left hand, the Virgin of the holy Spirit sits on a throne, glorifying him. The seven virgins stand before her, holding thirty harps, lyres, and [] trumpets and glorifying him. All the angelic hosts glorify him and praise him.

2The place where he sits is a throne of light <in a> great cloud that covers him. No one lived with him inside the cloud except Sophia, <the daughter of> Pistis. She taught him about all the beings that exist within the eighth heaven so that he could create likenesses of them and his reign could last until the consummation of the heavens of Chaos and their hosts.

3Now Pistis Sophia separated him from the darkness and called him to her right, and she placed the Primal Parent at her left. From that day on, the right has been called “justice,” and the left has been called “evil.” Because of this, all of them received an aeon in the assembly of justice, and evil stands over every created being .
