… the red is called "spiritual" instead of God. God is light, but the red is both of his own light and of the blood of the cross. But he himself (is) before all things, as the apostle said, whom the Father avoided (displaying?) to us his power so that he himself may become first in everything. Therefore the firstborn has become what remains. But since the firstborn of the dead, as the apostle said, went up into the heavens, I am pleased with the glorious God, who is called Lord of the Powers. This one, he is the Almighty. For the Sabaoth, being translated "Lord of the Powers," by which even the Son was lifted up. But he himself said, "I will draw everyone to myself, and all of my things are yours, and your things are mine." For he himself is not lesser than the Father in all things and in all truth. For this reason also he treads upon the heaven of heaven; instead he becomes much higher (than) the whole of the heavens. And again he went to his Father. But in any way whatever are you asking all things …

[For allegorically, "my little brother/beloved (is) white and] red" instead of "God." Now the white is called the light, for red denotes the blood of the cross. But he himself is before all things, as the apostle said, whom the Father has exalted even more in his power, so that in everything he may be first, from which he has become the firstborn. Through our sins he has become the firstborn of the dead, as the apostle said, he has gone up into the heavens. I am pleased with the glorious God, who is Lord of the Powers. This one is the Lord of Armies. And Lord Sabaoth, being translated "Lord of the Powers,"" by which even the Son was lifted up. But he himself said "I will draw everyone to myself," and "All my things are yours and your things are mine." For he himself is the image of the Father in all things and all truth. For this reason he treads upon the heaven of heaven, instead he becomes higher than the whole of the heavens. And again he went to the Father. But in any way whatever are you asking all things …
