Gospel of Thomas - Different Translation
Saying 2. Jesus said: He who seeks, let him not cease seeking until he finds; and when he finds, he will be troubled; and when he has been troubled, he will be amazed; and when he has been amazed, he will reign, and when he has reigned, he will rest.
Saying 3. Jesus said: If those who push you around say to you, Behold, the kingdom is in the sky, the birds of the sky would enter it before you. And if they say to you that it is under the earth in the watery abyss, then the fish of the sea would enter it before you. But the kingdom of God is both inside you and outside you. Whoever knows himself will find the kingdom, and when you know yourselves, then you will be known, and you will see that you are children of the living father. But if you do not know who you are, you will dwell in poverty and you will be that poverty.
From Samuel Zinner's translation of the, The Gospel of Thomas, based on the Coptic and Greek Texts
