Odes of Solomon

1But again Grace was swift and dismissed the Corruptor, and descended upon him to renounce him.

2And he caused utter destruction before him, and corrupted all his work.

3And he stood on the peak of a summit and cried aloud from one end of the earth to the other.

4Then he drew to him all those who obeyed him, for he did not appear as the Evil One.

5However, the perfect Virgin stood, who was preaching and summoning and saying:

6O you sons of men, return, and you their daughters, come.

7And leave the ways of that Corruptor, and approach me.

8And I will enter into you, and bring you forth from destruction, and make you wise in the ways of truth.

9Be not corrupted nor perish.

10Obey me and be saved, for I am proclaiming unto you the grace of God.

11And through me you will be saved and become blessed. I am your judge;

12And they who have put me on shall not be falsely accused, but they shall possess incorruption in the new world.

13My elect ones have walked with me, and my ways I will make known to them who seek me; and I will promise them my name.

14Hallelujah.
