Version 1 (A word for word Coptic to English translation - before adjustments for proper English grammar)

Thomas 35:
No power has one to enter the house of the powerful and he take his arm
unless he ties his hands then he will turn outward his house

['tie up' = pre-occuppy = distract = Look over there!]

Thomas 21.b:
Therefore I say: If he knows i.e. the owner in house that he is coming ie the thief
he (the owner) will watch / guard before he (the thief) comes and
he (the owner) will not permit him (the thief) to carve inward to his house of his Sovereignty
to let the thief take his belongings.

And so then, you keep watch against the Beginning of the Cosmos (refer to #109)
Gird of yours upon your loins with your great power
so that will not the Robbers find paths/ways to come towards you.
Because the need that you see forth beginning (foresee) they (the Robbers) will find it
Let he become in your midst i.e. a man knowing, wise, prudent

Thomas 103:
Abliss is the man this who knows
that in what part which the thieves about to come inward so that he will arise
he musters his Sovereignty and he binds it upon his loins from the Beginning
before they come inward

[Meaning: We have to recognize who we were at the Beginning – Powerful Conceptual Sovereigns @ Conceptualizers
We should muster our sovereignty as Conceptualizers and Re-Conceptualize
and not become icon-ized i.e. fixated on / subjugated by concepts]

Version 2 (by Thomas Paterson Brown)

Thomas 35:
It is impossible for anyone to enter the house of the strong person to take it by force,
unless he binds his hands
—then he will plunder his house.

Thomas 21.b:
Therefore I say, if the householder ascertains that the thief is coming,
he will be alert before he arrives and
will not allow him to dig thru into the house of his domain to carry away his belongings.

Yet you, beware of the origin of the world
—gird up your loins with great strength
lest the bandits find a way to reach you,
for they will find the advantage which you anticipate.
Let there be among you a person of awareness.

Thomas 103:
Blest is the person who knows in [which] part the thieves enter,
so that he shall arise and collect his [belongings] and gird up his loins before they come in.

Thomas 35 + 21.b = 103 is thus a set of first principle-based imperative for Conceptual Sovereigns:
Be Self [Re]Agency-fied. Exercise your own agency with vigilance.
Be not self de-Agency-fied. Beware of & shun self incapacitation e.g. self intoxication (Thomas 28)

Now take a look at the Synoptics: (Note: click on the references)
Mark: Mark 3:27 = Thomas 35, but inserted into Mark 3:20-30 - a hodge podge

Similarly, hodge podged:
In Matthew: Matthew 12:29, Matthew 24:43

and in Luke: Luke 11:21, Luke 12:39

What happened to the first principled call for Self Re-Agency-fication?
Dis-assembled, de-contextualized and disappeared...
....for self de-agency-fication?
... and worse, self-subjugation, to produce:
'iconizers' = worshippers of icons
à la 'idolizers' = worshippers of idols
i.e. worshippers of man-made constructs?
