4b Ye were also in the beginning with the Father; that which is Spirit, even the Spirit of truth; and truth is knowledge of things as they are, and as they were, and as they are to come; and whatsoever is more or less than this, is the spirit of that wicked one, who was a liar from the beginning.
4c The Spirit of truth is of God. I am the Spirit of truth.
4d And John bore record of me, saying, He received a fullness of truth; yea, even of all truth, and no man receiveth a fullness unless he keepeth his commandments.
4e He that keepeth his commandments, receiveth truth and light, until he is glorified in truth, and knoweth all things.
5a Man was also in the beginning with God. Intelligence, or the light of truth, was not created or made, neither indeed can be.
5b All truth is independent in that sphere in which God has placed it, to act for itself, as all intelligence also, otherwise there is no existence.
5c Behold, here is the agency of man, and here is the condemnation of man, because that which was from the beginning is plainly manifest unto them, and they receive not the light.
5d And every man whose spirit receiveth not the light is under condemnation, for man is spirit.
5e The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receiveth a fullness of joy; and when separated, man cannot receive a fullness of joy.
5f The elements are the tabernacle of God; yea, man is the tabernacle of God, even temples; and whatsoever temple is defiled, God shall destroy that temple.
6a The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth; and light and truth forsaketh that evil one.
