A song after giving birth to her first child without a man.
Nag Hammadi Codex
On the Origin of the World
114, 4-24
Eve is the first virgin, and she gave birth to her first child without a man. She was her own physician. For this reason, she is said to have declared:
I am part of my mother, and I am the mother.
I am the wife, and I am the virgin.
I am pregnant, I am the physician.
I am the comforter of birth pains.
My husband produced me, and I am his mother,
and he is my father and lord.
He is my strength,
he speaks of what he wants reasonably.
I am becoming,
but I have given birth to a lordly person.
