1 I, 1, 1 | fashioning of the entire Pleroma. By the conjunction of Logos
2 I, 1, 3 | invisible and spiritual Pleroma of theirs is tripartite,
3 I, 2, 4 | certainly remained within the Pleroma; but her enthymesis, with
4 I, 2, 5 | been placed outside of the Pleroma of the AEons, and its mother
5 I, 2, 5 | fortifying and strengthening the Pleroma, and who at the same time
6 I, 2, 6 | conferred on them, the whole Pleroma of the AEons, with one design
7 I, 2, 6 | beauty, the very star of the Pleroma, and the perfect fruit [
8 I, 3, 1 | what took place within the Pleroma; such the calamities that
9 I, 3, 4 | had been expelled from the Pleroma. This they also style the
10 I, 3, 6 | which they all give of their Pleroma, and of the formation of
11 I, 4, 1 | occurred outside of the Pleroma: The enthymesis of that
12 I, 4, 1 | being removed from the Pleroma, together with her passion,
13 I, 4, 1 | excluded from light and the Pleroma, and was without form or
14 I, 4, 1 | as being severed from the Pleroma, might be influenced by
15 I, 4, 5 | having returned to the Pleroma, and being probably unwilling
16 I, 5 | EVERYTHING OUTSIDE OF THE PLEROMA.~1.
17 I, 5, 2 | everything outside of the Pleroma, being the creator of all
18 I, 5, 2 | and primary Ogdoad as the Pleroma. They affirm, moreover,
19 I, 5, 3 | below and outside of the Pleroma, even to the end.~4.
20 I, 6, 4 | kind which leads into the Pleroma, but the seed sent forth
21 I, 7 | PERFECTED, SHALL PASS INTO THE PLEROMA, ACCOMPANIED BY THOSE MEN
22 I, 7, 1 | and enter in within the Pleroma, and shall receive as her
23 I, 7, 1 | is the full extent of the Pleroma. The spiritual seed, again,
24 I, 7, 1 | manner enter in within the Pleroma, and be bestowed as brides
25 I, 7, 1 | shall find admittance to the Pleroma. When these things have
26 I, 7, 2 | Saviour who belonged to the Pleroma, and was formed by the combined
27 I, 8, 1 | respect to the interior of the Pleroma.~2.
28 I, 8, 2 | things outside of their Pleroma, the following are some
29 I, 8, 2 | when she lay outside of the Pleroma as a kind of abortion, they
30 I, 8, 3 | seed, nor the AEons in the Pleroma. And that the Saviour received
31 I, 8, 4 | Achamoth wandered beyond the Pleroma, and received form from
32 I, 8, 4 | her stay outside of the Pleroma in a state of varied passion,
33 I, 8, 4 | them, was reinstated in Pleroma. They say, too, that Simeon, "
34 I, 8, 4 | conjunctions within the Pleroma, showing them forth by means
35 I, 8, 5 | that all things beyond the Pleroma received form from Him,
36 I, 8, 5 | the fruit of the entire Pleroma. For he styles Him a "light
37 I, 9, 2 | re-establishment of the Pleroma. Thus it is that, wresting
38 I, 9, 2 | never went outside of the Pleroma, but that Saviour [became
39 I, 10, 3 | this [fancied being], a Pleroma at one time supposed to
40 I, 11, 1 | Bythus and the rest of the Pleroma, and divides the created
41 I, 11, 1 | separates their mother from the Pleroma. Christ also was not produced
42 I, 11, 1 | from the AEons within the Pleroma, but was brought forth by
43 I, 11, 1 | himself, returned to the Pleroma; but his mother being left
44 I, 11, 1 | him who returned into the Pleroma, that is, from Christ; and
45 I, 11, 5 | Agennetos. This is the Pleroma of the first Ogdoad. They
46 I, 12, 4 | Eudocetos, because the whole Pleroma was well pleased through
47 I, 12, 4 | for the security of the Pleroma; and that on this account
48 I, 14, 4 | is among the AEons of the Pleroma consists of many parts,
49 I, 21, 2 | find admittance within the Pleroma, since this [regeneration]
50 I, 22, 1 | principle, nor power, nor pleroma,--He is the Father of our
51 II, pref, 1| image of their invisible Pleroma, and what they hold respecting
52 II, 1, 2 | necessity that God, the Pleroma (Fulness) of all these,
53 II, 1, 2 | Him, He is not then the Pleroma of all, nor does He contain
54 II, 1, 2 | Him will be wanting to the Pleroma, or, [in other words,] to
55 II, 1, 2 | any way short, is not the Pleroma of all things. In such a
56 II, 1, 2 | and Proarche), with their Pleroma, and the good God of Marcion,
57 II, 1, 3 | declare to be outside of the Pleroma, into which they further
58 II, 1, 3 | every way necessary that the Pleroma either contains that which
59 II, 1, 3 | it will not be beyond the Pleroma; for if there is anything
60 II, 1, 3 | there is anything beyond the Pleroma, there will be a Pleroma
61 II, 1, 3 | Pleroma, there will be a Pleroma within this very Pleroma
62 II, 1, 3 | Pleroma within this very Pleroma which they declare to be
63 II, 1, 3 | declare to be outside of the Pleroma, and the Pleroma will be
64 II, 1, 3 | of the Pleroma, and the Pleroma will be contained by that
65 II, 1, 3 | is beyond: and with the Pleroma is understood also the first
66 II, 1, 3 | separated from each other--the Pleroma [I mean], and that which
67 II, 1, 3 | separates by immensity the Pleroma and that which is beyond
68 II, 1, 3 | be greater both than the Pleroma, and than that which is
69 II, 1, 4 | that there is a certain Pleroma or God above the Creator
70 II, 1, 4 | maintain that there is another Pleroma above the Pleroma, above
71 II, 1, 4 | another Pleroma above the Pleroma, above that again another,
72 II, 1, 4 | necessity to conceive of other Pleroma, and other Bythi, so as
73 II, 3 | III. THE BYTHUS AND PLEROMA OF THE VALENTINIANS, AS
74 II, 3, 1 | they conceive of with his Pleroma, and the God of Marcion,
75 II, 3, 1 | to be greater than their Pleroma. But it is inconsistent
76 II, 3, 1 | existence (below the spiritual Pleroma) in which this universe
77 II, 4, 2 | distance; but that, in the Pleroma, or in those things which
78 II, 4, 2 | degeneracy upon the entire Pleroma, since it might from the
79 II, 4, 3 | which is contained by the Pleroma, and by the light of the
80 II, 4, 3 | Propator, or within the Pleroma, which is not illuminated,
81 II, 4, 3 | necessity that, within the Pleroma, or within the Father of
82 II, 4, 3 | defect and error within the Pleroma, and into the bosom of the
83 II, 5, 1 | was formed outside of the Pleroma, or under a "good God; "
84 II, 5, 1 | that which is outside the Pleroma, in which, at the same time,
85 II, 5, 1 | or, as a portion of their Pleroma [is so described], the whole
86 II, 5, 1 | since they are within the Pleroma, or the charges in question
87 II, 5, 1 | fall against the entire Pleroma; and thus the Christ of
88 II, 5, 1 | cast her outside of the Pleroma; that is, He cut her off
89 II, 5, 1 | cast her outside of the Pleroma.~2.
90 II, 5, 2 | being within and without the Pleroma as implying knowledge and
91 II, 5, 2 | coming forth outside of the Pleroma, He imparted form to their
92 II, 5, 2 | whatever is outside [the Pleroma] is ignorant of all things,
93 II, 5, 2 | declare to be outside the Pleroma, inasmuch as we are outside
94 II, 5, 2 | really went forth beyond the Pleroma to seek after the sheep
95 II, 5, 2 | which was lost, but the Pleroma is [co-extensive with] knowledge,
96 II, 5, 2 | that what is outside the Pleroma is so in a local sense,
97 II, 5, 2 | they went forth beyond the Pleroma, that is, beyond the pale
98 II, 5, 3 | formed in the bosom of the Pleroma began by and by in fact
99 II, 6, 3 | Mother, nor her seed, nor the Pleroma of the AEons, nor the Propator,
100 II, 6, 3 | things which are within the Pleroma, the Saviour having secretly
101 II, 7 | AEONS WHO ARE WITHIN THE PLEROMA.~1.
102 II, 7, 1 | conferred honour upon the Pleroma by the creation [which he
103 II, 7, 1 | should exist beyond the Pleroma (in which external region
104 II, 7, 1 | things which are within the Pleroma), or that this world was
105 II, 7, 2 | order to the honour of the Pleroma. What a dissimilar, and
106 II, 7, 3 | AEons which are within the Pleroma, whose names, as these men
107 II, 7, 3 | comparative] smallness of their Pleroma, but they cannot do this
108 II, 7, 3 | themselves testify that their Pleroma consists of thirty AEons;
109 II, 7, 3 | the thirty AEons of the Pleroma, if indeed, as they declare,
110 II, 7, 4 | say that the angels of the Pleroma are numerous, and that those
111 II, 7, 4 | among the angels of the Pleroma, which are mutually opposed
112 II, 7, 4 | them, the angels of the Pleroma will have as images the
113 II, 7, 4 | remains in the image of the Pleroma, but so that the thirty
114 II, 8 | ARE NOT A SHADOW OF THE PLEROMA.~1.
115 II, 8, 3 | there can neither be any Pleroma into which they declare
116 II, 8, 3 | descended (so that the Pleroma itself, or the primary God,
117 II, 8, 3 | Father of all, and of this Pleroma, ceases and has an end.
118 II, 8, 3 | been formed within their Pleroma, since that is wholly spiritual.
119 II, 12, 4 | conjunctions, which are within the Pleroma, do not preserve unity,
120 II, 12, 5 | individually dwell in the same Pleroma. But it is impossible that
121 II, 12, 7 | these in the number of the Pleroma, nor the Saviour either,
122 II, 12, 7 | Propator himself in the Pleroma, and those too, who in succession
123 II, 12, 7 | existing with these in the same Pleroma, since they were produced
124 II, 12, 7 | have been numbered in the Pleroma of the~or that should be
125 II, 13, 8 | Nous) as fashioners of this Pleroma; while they conceive of
126 II, 14, 1 | which is outside of the Pleroma, calling it the second Ogdoad.
127 II, 14, 3 | things which are within the Pleroma real existences, just as
128 II, 14, 3 | those which are without the Pleroma have no true existence,
129 II, 14, 3 | are here outside of the Pleroma) into a place which has
130 II, 14, 4 | namely, which is within the Pleroma, but to animal beings the
131 II, 14, 6 | which are outside of the Pleroma. The [Pythagoreans] maintained
132 II, 14, 6 | with a reference to their Pleroma and Bythus. From the same
133 II, 14, 9 | took place outside of the Pleroma, and from what sort of a
134 II, 14, 9 | who were formed within the Pleroma. But I have of necessity
135 II, 15, 1 | AEons which are within the Pleroma, with other such nonsense
136 II, 15, 2 | reference to the entire Pleroma, what reason is there that
137 II, 15, 3 | questioned in turn respecting the Pleroma, either make mention of
138 II, 15, 3 | deciform, and duodeciform Pleroma (the image of which they
139 II, 15, 3 | if they declare that the Pleroma was so produced in accordance
140 II, 15, 3 | then it follows that the Pleroma can no longer be regarded
141 II, 15, 3 | greater honour than the Pleroma, if, for its sake, those
142 II, 16 | THINGS TO BE MADE, OR THE PLEROMA WAS FORMED AFTER THE IMAGE
143 II, 16, 1 | such a production of their Pleroma, they will of necessity
144 II, 16, 1 | confess that, above the Pleroma, there was some other system
145 II, 16, 1 | the image of which their Pleroma was formed. For if the Demiurge
146 II, 16, 1 | brought it about that the Pleroma should be possessed of a
147 II, 16, 1 | such a configuration to the Pleroma, then why may it not have
148 II, 16, 4 | their investigations to that Pleroma which is above the three
149 II, 17, 1 | which has respect to their Pleroma, and especially that part
150 II, 17, 3 | within the incorruptible Pleroma? Further, too, according
151 II, 17, 3 | therefore no longer speak of the Pleroma as being spiritual, or of
152 II, 17, 5 | attach alike to their whole Pleroma, since [all its members]
153 II, 17, 5 | lights which are within the Pleroma will alike remain for ever
154 II, 17, 5 | one light in the entire Pleroma? And if any one calls them
155 II, 17, 8 | God, she who is within the Pleroma, inasmuch as she has been
156 II, 18, 1 | moreover, not call their entire Pleroma spiritual, if this AEon
157 II, 18, 5 | the same substance as the Pleroma; but the entire Pleroma
158 II, 18, 5 | Pleroma; but the entire Pleroma was of the Father. Now,
159 II, 18, 5 | AEon was produced by the Pleroma of the same substance as
160 II, 18, 6 | AEon who was within the Pleroma, a wholly spiritual being,
161 II, 19, 2 | acquainted with the spiritual Pleroma, because that man who dwells
162 II, 19, 2 | anything connected with the Pleroma.~3.
163 II, 19, 4 | which proceeds from the Pleroma was the cause to a spiritual
164 II, 20, 2 | AEon was cast out of the Pleroma, and that another was produced,
165 II, 20, 5 | which are outside of the Pleroma, after the image of those
166 II, 20, 5 | those which are within the Pleroma, is said at last to have
167 II, 20, 5 | received by them into the Pleroma, and, according to [the
168 II, 21, 1 | the AEons who are in the Pleroma) might have chosen other
169 II, 21, 1 | those AEons existing in the Pleroma, would never have constituted
170 II, 21, 1 | AEons that exist in the Pleroma.~2.
171 II, 22, 1 | one time found within the Pleroma, and then again too many [
172 II, 22, 1 | Saviour] Himself from the Pleroma of all. Moreover, they affirm
173 II, 22, 6 | ranks with Bythus in the Pleroma; of which beings Homer the
174 II, 23, 2 | of what took place in the Pleroma, the type ought to be preserved
175 II, 24, 1 | indicating number in the Pleroma, Soter, as being a Greek
176 II, 24, 1 | forth the mystery of the Pleroma. But the case is not so,
177 II, 24, 1 | way correspond with their Pleroma; the account, therefore,
178 II, 24, 1 | give of transactions in the Pleroma cannot be true.~2.
179 II, 24, 2 | with the Aeons of their Pleroma, inasmuch as, according
180 II, 24, 2 | and rectification of their Pleroma. The Father, too, in the
181 II, 24, 3 | things which are in the Pleroma, they should have taken
182 II, 24, 3 | or of the rest of their Pleroma. What of the candlestick,
183 II, 24, 3 | and illuminates the whole Pleroma. They have carefully enumerated
184 II, 24, 3 | out of harmony with their Pleroma, consisting, as it did,
185 II, 24, 3 | type of the things in the Pleroma; while [the truth is, that]
186 II, 24, 4 | manifestation of the things in the Pleroma, [yet has a wide prevalence,]
187 II, 24, 5 | thirtieth part of the entire Pleroma, while in the other they
188 II, 24, 5 | case really stands, their Pleroma is divided into thirty parts,
189 II, 24, 5 | month a type of the entire Pleroma, but the year a type only
190 II, 24, 5 | Duodecad which exists in the Pleroma; for it was more fitting
191 II, 24, 5 | parts, even as the whole Pleroma is divided, but the month
192 II, 24, 5 | as the Aeons are in their Pleroma. Moreover, they divide the
193 II, 24, 5 | they divide the entire Pleroma into three portions,--namely,
194 II, 29, 1 | mother shall re-enter the Pleroma, and receive the Saviour
195 II, 29, 3 | all means enter into the Pleroma because it is spiritual,
196 II, 29, 3 | shall enter within their Pleroma? For they maintain that
197 II, 29, 3 | left to enter in within the Pleroma. For the intellect of man--
198 II, 29, 3 | remain to enter into the Pleroma? For they themselves, in
199 II, 30, 2 | they enter in within the Pleroma, while He remains in the
200 II, 30, 3 | things which are within the Pleroma, and of all those beings
201 II, 30, 5 | and penetrate within the Pleroma to their own husbands (for,
202 II, 30, 7 | to the things within the Pleroma. For that inner man which
203 II, 30, 9 | imagined; nor is there a Pleroma of thirty Aeons, which has
204 II, 31, 1 | have advanced against their Pleroma, and with respect to those
205 III, 2, 2 | and yet again from the Pleroma, but that they themselves,
206 III, 5, 1 | Him who was without the Pleroma as Him who was within it.
207 III, 10, 2 | Father, nor Bythus, nor the Pleroma of thirty Aeons, nor the
208 III, 10, 3 | he, [the Christ of the Pleroma,] descended upon him as
209 III, 11, 1 | flew back again into His Pleroma; and that Monogenes was
210 III, 11, 1 | reference to those within their Pleroma. For if their Pleroma do
211 III, 11, 1 | their Pleroma. For if their Pleroma do indeed contain these,
212 III, 11, 1 | if they are outside the Pleroma, which indeed appeared impossible,
213 III, 11, 1 | in that case, that their Pleroma cannot be "all things:"
214 III, 11, 1 | creation is not outside [the Pleroma].~2.
215 III, 11, 3 | did again ascend into the Pleroma. Some, however, make the
216 III, 12, 12 | of those Aeons within the Pleroma, but from that defect which
217 III, 12, 12 | been expelled beyond the Pleroma. Ignorance of the Scriptures
218 III, 15, 2 | unspeakable mystery of their Pleroma. But they are altogether
219 III, 15, 2 | he has passed within the Pleroma; and having already embraced
220 III, 15, 2 | refreshing which is within their Pleroma.~3.
221 III, 16, 1 | Father He entered into the Pleroma in an incomprehensible and
222 III, 16, 1 | Christ and of the entire Pleroma; confessing, indeed, in
223 III, 16, 1 | the confirmation of the Pleroma; but that another, the Saviour,
224 III, 16, 1 | Saviour who returned into the Pleroma. I judge it necessary therefore
225 III, 17, 4 | truly did ascend to the Pleroma, but the other remained
226 III, 24, 2 | god beyond God, or another Pleroma, or another dispensation.
227 III, 25, 6 | their Mother is beyond the Pleroma, that is beyond the knowledge
228 III, 25, 6 | permit her to enter the Pleroma: for the Spirit (Achamoth)
229 IV, pref, 4| taking place within the Pleroma, plunge those that believe
230 IV, 12, 5 | suffering and apostasy; nor the Pleroma of the thirty AEons, which
231 IV, 19, 1 | celestial things and of another Pleroma, and [to say] that God is
232 IV, 19, 3 | Him there exists another Pleroma of AEons, and another Father;
233 IV, 19, 3 | things which are beyond the Pleroma, but that, on the other
234 IV, 19, 3 | not reach so far as the Pleroma; and thus they represent
235 IV, 19, 3 | world formed outside of the Pleroma, and the latter in respect
236 IV, 19, 3 | which was formed within the Pleroma; and [therefore] neither
237 IV, 33, 3 | a later period than the Pleroma of the Aeons, and that His
238 IV, 35, 1 | spoken at one time from the Pleroma (a summitate) through means
239 IV, 35, 1 | which the things in the Pleroma might be perfectly proclaimed.
240 IV, 35, 2 | while yet existing in the Pleroma, would He have appointed
241 IV, 35, 2 | But if, when within the Pleroma, He availed Himself of those
242 IV, 35, 2 | and if the Spirit from the Pleroma was, according to these
243 IV, 35, 2 | influence which pertains to the Pleroma; or, on the other hand,
244 IV, 35, 3 | the mysteries within the Pleroma, and power to discourse
245 IV, 35, 3 | mother, while beyond the Pleroma, did bring forth this very
246 IV, 35, 3 | but what is beyond the Pleroma they represent as being
247 IV, 35, 3 | the mysteries within the Pleroma, she who was organized outside
248 IV, 35, 3 | who remains outside the Pleroma till the consummation [of
249 IV, 35, 4 | these, were spoken from the Pleroma, but are confuted by those
