19 I, 8, 3 | pointed out the three kinds of men as follows: the material,

34 I, 13, 4 | prophecy is not conferred on men by Marcus, the magician,
35 I, 13, 4 | as are commanded by these men, and speak when they desire
36 I, 14, 1 | any one either of gods or men. This was done in the following
37 I, 16, 3 | inflated wise folly! But those men are really worthy of being
38 I, 16, 3 | self-condemned; and these men Paul commands us, "after
39 I, 16, 3 | beyond all impiety, are these men, who assert that the Maker
40 I, 16, 3 | In like manner do these men, the more they seem to excel
41 I, 16, 3 | inflating the minds of these men with the notion of their
42 I, 19, 2 | being the white and the men of good understanding.~
43 I, 20, 1 | bewilder the minds of foolish men, and of such as are ignorant
44 I, 20, 2 | what they knew not, these men say that He promised to
45 I, 21, 1 | fitting-place, that this class of men have been instigated by
46 I, 22, 1 | their opinions, that these men have deviated from the truth;
47 I, 22, 1 | reluctant as they may be, these men shall one day rise again
48 I, 23, 1 | overpower multitudes of men. Such was his procedure
49 I, 23, 1 | called by whatsoever title men were pleased to address
50 I, 23, 3 | conferred salvation upon men, by making himself known
51 I, 23, 3 | that he might appear among men to be a man, while yet he
52 I, 23, 3 | live as they please; for men are saved through his grace,
53 I, 23, 3 | such precepts, to bring men into bondage. On this account,
54 I, 23, 5 | for the deliverance of men. The world was made by angels,
55 I, 24, 1 | Arising among these men, Saturninus (who was of
56 I, 24, 2 | affirm that two kinds of men were formed by the angels,--
57 I, 24, 2 | the destruction of evil men and of the demons, but for
58 I, 24, 5 | perfect indifference. These men, moreover, practise magic;
59 I, 25, 1 | and was just like other men, with the exception that
60 I, 25, 1 | passions which dwelt in men as a punishment [for their
61 I, 25, 3 | things that are in it. These men, even as the Gentiles, have
62 I, 25, 3 | in one way or another, men hearing the things which
63 I, 26, 1 | prudent, and wise than other men. Moreover, after his baptism,
64 I, 26, 3 | The character of these men is very plainly pointed
65 I, 27, 3 | and those other righteous men who sprang from the patriarch

67 I, 30, 10 | again, being incensed with men, because they did not worship
68 I, 30, 11 | admonishing and reminding men of the incorruptible light,
69 I, 30, 11 | that emissions of two men took place, the one from
70 I, 30, 12 | righteous than all other men: Christ united to Sophia
71 I, 30, 15 | and implanted knowledge in men, for which reason the serpent
72 I, 31, 2 | like Carpocrates, that men cannot be saved until they
73 I, 31, 3 | the wicked tenets of these men, look with contempt upon
74 II, 1, 1 | are therein (whom these men blasphemously style the
75 II, 2, 3 | knowledge, as some [of these men] think, the angels, or the
76 II, 4, 2 | subsequently receive it? Or how can men say that they are called
77 II, 4, 2 | are the causes from which men derive their origin--either
78 II, 4, 2 | did at last take pity upon men, and bestow on them perfection,
79 II, 4, 2 | perfection. In this way, men too would verily have shared
80 II, 6, 2 | the coming of our Lord, men were saved both from most
81 II, 7, 1 | incorruptible?--since, even among men who are themselves mortal,
82 II, 7, 3 | Pleroma, whose names, as these men fix them, I have set forth
83 II, 7, 3 | as they declare that some men are wicked by nature, and
84 II, 7, 5 | that, in regard to mere men, one will allow that they
85 II, 7, 6 | which, according to these men, are spiritual; unless these
86 II, 7, 6 | spiritual. If, however, these men maintain that they are spiritual,
87 II, 9, 1 | itself sufficient,--all men, in fact, consenting to
88 II, 10, 2 | Him for the salvation of men. And that they may be deemed
89 II, 10, 4 | which are impossible with men are possible with God."
90 II, 10, 4 | possible with God." While men, indeed, cannot make anything
91 II, 10, 4 | proeminently superior to men, that He Himself called
92 II, 11, 2 | But since these men delight in attacking us,
93 II, 13, 3 | be said to hold good in men, since they are compound
94 II, 13, 3 | and mental tendencies of men, while they [thus prove
95 II, 13, 3 | those things which apply to men to the Father of all, whom
96 II, 13, 3 | doubt, that God is not as men are; and that His thoughts
97 II, 13, 3 | not like the thoughts of men. For the Father of all is
98 II, 13, 3 | passions which operate among men. He is a simple, uncompounded
99 II, 13, 4 | like the understanding of men; and He may most properly
100 II, 13, 8 | affirmed with respect to men. But in Him who is God over
101 II, 13, 8 | generation of the word to which men gave utterance to the eternal
102 II, 13, 8 | differ from the word of men, if He follows the same
103 II, 13, 9 | possible and proper for men to hear and to speak of
104 II, 13, 10 | the things which happen to men, and whatsoever they recognise
105 II, 14, 1 | order of the gods. These men (the heretics), adopting
106 II, 14, 2 | the gods: this idea these men have transferred to Bythus
107 II, 14, 2 | This thought, too, these men have transferred to "the
108 II, 14, 3 | not. In like manner, these men call those things which
109 II, 14, 3 | exemplar, and God. These men, following those distinctions,
110 II, 14, 5 | says respecting her, these men insinuate concerning the
111 II, 14, 7 | on the other hand, these men did not know it, then how
112 II, 14, 7 | points, they declare that men indeed did not know the
113 II, 14, 7 | mysteries of truth through such men, even as also through the
114 II, 14, 7 | intelligible to no one; for the men themselves knew what they
115 II, 14, 8 | please; so also do these men gradually and gently persuading [
116 II, 17, 1 | and since I desire all men to come to the knowledge
117 II, 17, 1 | overturning [the views of] these men.~2.

233 III, 12, 10 | apostles, and who, of all men, was the first to follow
234 III, 12, 11 | and, inasmuch as these men have no works of their father
235 III, 12, 13 | could they have spoken to men in accordance with old-established
236 III, 12, 14 | faith. For when certain men had come down from Judea
237 III, 12, 14 | Peter thus addressed them: "Men, brethren, ye know how that
238 III, 12, 14 | James spoke as follows: "Men, brethren, Simon hath declared

249 III, 14, 4 | as of course, that these men must either receive the

251 III, 16, 1 | comprehended, not only by men, but not even by those powers
252 III, 16, 1 | is the practice of these men to say that there was one
253 III, 16, 2 | foretold; not, as these men assert, that Jesus was He
254 III, 16, 4 | He was already despoiling men, by removing their ignorance,
255 III, 16, 7 | also the reason why, when men were often desirous to take
256 III, 16, 8 | state of degeneracy. Such men are to outward appearance
257 III, 17, 4 | all the doctrines of these men who have invented putative
258 III, 17, 4 | proved falsehoods. These men do, in fact, set the Spirit
259 III, 17, 4 | abroad the speeches of these men: for, speaking things resembling
260 III, 18, 4 | asked the disciples, "Who do men say that I, the Son of man,
261 III, 18, 4 | Christ as the generality of men supposed [that the Christ

264 III, 18, 5 | confess His name before men; but declared that He would

266 III, 18, 7 | Mediator between God and men, by His relationship to
267 III, 19, 1 | gods; but ye shall die like men." He speaks undoubtedly
268 III, 19, 2 | His own right, beyond all men who ever lived, God, and
269 III, 19, 2 | clouds as the Judge of all men;--all these things did the
270 III, 20, 2 | God also revealed through men. And therefore Paul declares, "

492 V, 15, 3 | had been made manifest to men: and declaring the original
493 V, 15, 4 | Himself in these last times to men, formed visual organs (visionem)
494 V, 17, 1 | Mediator between God and men;" propitiating indeed for
495 V, 17, 2 | who gave such power unto men." What God, then, did the
