123. Grace causes [the humble soul of the] person of earth to be made sovereign [over ...] what is above the sky. They [received] thru [Him who] is blest; this one by his [Logos truly uplifts] their souls.

123. La gracia causa [al alma humilde de la] persona terrenal, que se haga soberana [sobre ...] lo que está arriba del cielo. [Recibieron] por medio de [Él que] es bendito; éste por su [Logos en verdad alza] sus almas.

1Till's Coptic text: w-till-26.gif.

2Liddell-Scott Greek Lexicon (Biblio.22): εν (sense III), ‘of the instrument, means or manner’.

3This compound is exceedingly difficult to interpret. Till has the second l as dotted (i.e. uncertain), but the preceding l indicates (P010.2) that the following letter should be l as well. One would have expected 6m.pe3.logos (P271.3). Or perhaps the doubled l is simply a dittography.
