The Apocryphon of John (short version)
The short-version witness to the revelation text, preserved in Codex III and related to the Berlin Codex tradition.
Codex III moves through revelation, Sophia material, and instruction as a route into restoration.
Here cosmology is argued through teaching rather than creed, and restoration is treated as a knowledge problem before a doctrine problem.

Codex III of the Nag Hammadi Library contains a set of intensely liturgical and visionary texts associated with Sethian traditions, including the Gospel of the Egyptians, Eugnostos the Blessed, The Sophia of Jesus Christ, and The Dialogue of the Saviour.
These writings explore the hidden names of the divine, the emanations of the Pleroma, and the role of the great Seth in the restoration of the soul and the illumination of the incorruptible race.
Within Codex Reborn in The Vault, these texts are presented in a readable format for study and reflection. Formatting is intended to clarify structure and flow while keeping as close as possible to the content of the surviving manuscripts, so that readers can engage directly with the language and symbolism of the codex.
