CHAPTER 143.
Project Gutenberg EPUB edition
Levi
40 Nathaniel said, Is it not well that all men should refrain from taking on themselves the marriage vow?
41 And Jesus said, Men are not pure because they are unmarried men. The man who lusts is an adulterer if he has wife or not.
42 And then he said to all, Some things men know by being told, while other things they know not till the gate of consciousness shall open up for them.
43 I speak a mystery that now you cannot understand; but you shall some day understand.
44 A eunuch is a man who does not lust; some men are eunuchs born, some men are eunuchs by the power of men, and some are eunuchs by the Holy Breath, who makes them free in God through Christ.
45 He who is able to receive the truth I speak, let him receive.
