Saying 86: Foxes and Birds
Jesus said, "[The foxes have dens] and the birds have nests, but the Son of Humanity has nowhere to lay his head and rest."
tsisa hinegise, "tsuladi uhase atalesvdine ale tsisquadi uhase unesgilvsvdine, aseno uwetsi yvwi-anehv vhnai tla uhase hananine atlodi utseli asgoline ale atsawesolvsdi."

Saying 85: Adam Wasn't Worthy
Jesus said, "Adam came into being from a great power and great wealth, but he didn't become worthy of you. If he had been worthy, [he wouldn't have tasted] death."
tsisa hinegise, "adawi didolagise gesvi equa ulanigvgv nidvlenvda ale equa nuwehnavi nidvlenvda, aseno atsvyai tla didolagise tsugvwalodiya nihi vhnai. iyuno atsvyai gesvise tsugvwalodiya, atsvyai tla nusdv-agisdise ayohuhisdine."

Note: Sayings 84 and 85 are connected by the linking phrase "came into being." There are hundreds of such catchwords and catch-phrases in GTh. They are usually considered to be a characteristic of the stage of orality. Nevertheless, DeConick considers Saying 85 to be an accretion.
Saying 84: Our Previous Images
Jesus said, "When you see your likeness, you rejoice. But when you see your images that came into being before you did – which don't die, and aren't revealed – how much you'll have to bear!"
tsisa hinegise, "hilayvi nihi gowatase nihi nasginaine, nihi alihelisdase. aseno hilayvi nihi gowatose nihi nasginaidine na didolagise udalulv nihi didolagise, hilago utsati nihi uduladose alisoqualvdi!

Saying 83: Light and Images
Jesus said, "Images are revealed to people, but the light within them is hidden in the image of the Father's light. He'll be revealed, but his image will be hidden by his light."
tsisa hinegise, "nasgiyaidi gesvase agadudesdita yvwi didla, aseno ulvsadv nasgidv hawini gesvase adisgalodita nasgiyai hawina ulvsadv edoda vhnai. nasgi gesvose agadudesdita, aseno utseli nasgiyai gesvose adisgalodita utseli ulvsadv gvdodi."

Saying 81: Riches and Renunciation (1)
Jesus said, "Whoever has become rich should become a ruler, and whoever has power should renounce it."
tsisa hinegise, "nasgiquo-yigi didolagise uwenai aseuse didolagi asdawadvsdosgi, ale nasgiquo-yigi uhase ulanigvgvne, aseuse diyohisdi nasgine.
ᏥᏌ ᎯᏁᎩᏎ, "ᎾᏍᎩᏉ-ᏱᎩ ᏗᏙᎳᎩᏎ ᎤᏪᎾᎢ ᎠᏎᎤᏎ ᏗᏙᎳᎩ ᎠᏍᏓᏩᏛᏍᏙᏍᎩ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩᏉ-ᏱᎩ ᎤᎭᏎ ᎤᎳᏂᎬᎬᏁ, ᎠᏎᎤᏎ ᏗᏲᎯᏍᏗ ᎾᏍᎩᏁ.
Saying 82: Jesus and Fire (2)
Jesus said, "Whoever is near me is near the fire, and whoever is far from me is far from the kingdom."
tsisa hinegise, "nasgiquo-yigi gesvase navnige ayv gesvase navnige atsilv, ale nasgiquo-yigi gwsvase inv ayv nidvblenvda gesvase inv ugvwiyuhiyi nidvlenvda."
ᏥᏌ ᎯᏁᎩᏎ, "ᎾᏍᎩᏉ-ᏱᎩ ᎨᏒᎠᏎ ᎾᎥᏂᎨ ᎠᏴ ᎨᏒᎠᏎ ᎾᎥᏂᎨ ᎠᏥᎸ, ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩᏉ-ᏱᎩ gwᏒᎠᏎ ᎢᏅ ᎠᏴ ᏂᏛbᎴᏅᏓ ᎨᏒᎠᏎ ᎢᏅ ᎤᎬᏫᏳᎯᏱ ᏂᏛᎴᏅᏓ."
Today I walked on the beach without you,
for the first time in the four months since you passed,
and I found it very hard.
So many beaches, so many memories,
beaches on four continents,
beaches all over the world,
for forty-five years.
It's not that I have no one to walk with,
that isn't true.
In fact, you may have sent me someone,
but that someone
isn't you.
