1. "The mystery of marriage is a great one." - Philip 112:31-32.
2. "All who go into the bridal chamber will beget the Light. For
they do not beget in the manner of marriages which happen in the
night." - Philip 133:32-35.
3. "The woman is united to her husband in the bridal chamber and
will no longer be separated. - Philip 118:17-22.
4. "And the lover of Jesus is Mary Magdalene. The Lord loved Mary
more than all the disciples, and kissed her on the mouth often." -
Philip 111:32-37.
5. "When Eve was in Adam, there was no death; but when she was
separated from him, death came into being. Again, if she goes in, and
he will take her to himself, death will no longer exist." - Philip
116:22-26.
6. "If anyone becomes a son of the bridal chamber, he will receive
the Light. If anyone does not receive it while he is in the world, he
will not receive it in the other place. When he goes out of the
world, he has already received the truth in the images (of inner
Light)." - Philip 134:4-17.
7. "If the woman had not separated from the man, she would not die
with the man. His separation became the beginning of death. Because
of this, Christ came, in order that he might remove the separation
which was from the beginning, and again unite the two; and that he
might give life to those who died in the separation, and unite
them." - Philip 118:9-17.
8. "Those who say they will die first and rise again, are in error.
If they do not first receive the Ressurection while they live, when
they die, they will receive nothing." - Philip 121:1-5.
9. "The bridal chamber invites us in. When it is revealed, then the
perfect Light will pour upon everyone. Then the slaves will be freed
and the captives delivered."
