1. A Hebrew person makes a (convert) Hebrew, who moreover is
called thus: a novice (proselyte). Yet a novice does not make
(another) novice. [Some persons] are as they are [...] and also
influence others [to become like themselves, while for the remainder]
it suffices to them that they shall be.
………………………….
A Hebrew makes a Hebrew, and such a person is called a convert. A
convert does not make a convert. [Some people] are as they [are] and
make others [like them], while others simply are.

2a The Slave only seeks to be Free, he does not expect to receive the property of his lord. The Son not only acts as a Son, but claims his father’s legacy for himself.
2b Those who inherit the dead are themselves dead, and so they inherit those dead. Those who inherit the living ones are alive and they inherit the living one along with those who are dead. The dead do not inherit anything, for how can someone who is dead inherit the dead? If he who is dead inherits the living he shall not die, but the dead shall be alive.
–Phillip Smith
The slave seeks only to be free, but he does not hope to acquire the estate of his master. But the son is not only a son but lays claim to the inheritance of the father. Those who are heirs to the dead are themselves dead, and they inherit the dead. Those who are heirs to what is living are alive, and they are heirs to both what is living and the dead. The dead are heirs to nothing. For how can he who is dead inherit? If he who is dead inherits what is living he will not die, but he who is dead will live even more.
–Isenburg
The slave desires freedom; the extent of his master’s wealth is of little importance.
The Son, he who is Son, posses the heritage of the Father. To inherit from the dead is to die, to inherit from the living is to live.
The Living One gives us birth and death as our heritage. The dead do not inherit; how could they inherit? If the dead were to inherit from the living, they would live.
–Leloup
2. The slave seeks only to be set free, yet he does not seek after the estate of his master. Yet the son not only acts as a son, but also the father ascribes the inheritance to him.
3. Those who inherit the dead are themselves dead, and they inherit the dead. Those who inherit the Living-One are alive, and they inherit both the living and the dead. The dead do not inherit anything. For how will the dead inherit? When the dead inherits the Living-One, he shall not die but rather the dead shall instead live.
–Patterson Brown
A slave longs for freedom
and doesn’t hope to own a master’s estate.
A child claims the father’s legacy,
But those who inherit the dead are dead.
Heirs to the living are alive
and are heirs to life and death.
The dead are heirs to nothing.
How can the dead inherit?
Yet if the dead inherits the living,
the living wont die and the dead will survive.
–Barnstone
A slave seeks only to be free and does not seek the master’s estate.
For a child it is not enough to be a child, but a child claims the father’s inheritance.
Heirs to the dead are dead, and what they inherit is dead. Heirs to the living are alive, and they inherit both the living and the dead. The dead inherit nothing, for how could a dead person inherit? If a dead person inherits the living, the living will not die and the dead will come to life.
–Meyer
