55 II, 5, 1 | placed her beyond the pale of knowledge, when He cast her outside
56 II, 5, 2 | the Pleroma as implying knowledge and ignorance respectively,
57 II, 5, 2 | them do (since he who has knowledge is within that which knows),
58 II, 5, 2 | situated beyond the pale of the knowledge of all things; that is,
59 II, 5, 2 | then could He communicate knowledge to her, when He Himself
60 II, 5, 2 | Himself was beyond the pale of knowledge? For we, too, they declare
61 II, 5, 2 | as we are outside of the knowledge which they possess. And
62 II, 5, 2 | Pleroma is [co-extensive with] knowledge, then He placed Himself
63 II, 5, 2 | Himself beyond the pale of knowledge, that is, in ignorance.
64 II, 5, 2 | which is within in regard to knowledge, and of that which is without
65 II, 5, 2 | that is, beyond the pale of knowledge, in order to impart form
66 II, 6, 3 | they have attained to a knowledge of Him before those angels
67 II, 7, 2 | formed by Him. But if He has knowledge, it necessarily follows
68 II, 9, 2 | as being possessed of the knowledge of all things, are found
69 II, 10, 2 | order that they may know "knowledge" itself (yet not learning
70 II, 10, 3 | that thus they have sublime knowledge on account of which they
71 II, 13, 1 | by [the same sphere of] knowledge, and are expressed together
72 II, 13, 2 | thinks of it, he has also knowledge regarding it; and when he
73 II, 14, 7 | was [already] known to the knowledge of those who knew it? If,
74 II, 14, 7 | yourselves alone possess that knowledge which is above all things,
75 II, 14, 7 | style ignorance of the truth knowledge: and Paul well says [of
76 II, 14, 7 | novelties of words of false knowledge." For that knowledge of
77 II, 14, 7 | false knowledge." For that knowledge of theirs is truly found
78 II, 17, 1 | desire all men to come to the knowledge of the truth, as well as
79 II, 17, 9 | forth] utterly blind to the knowledge and greatness of the Father.
80 II, 17, 10 | produce along with him the knowledge of the Father? As ye affirm
81 II, 17, 11 | production of Christ? For the knowledge which through Christ He
82 II, 17, 11 | rest and attain perfect knowledge through learning [at last]
83 II, 17, 11 | surely have possessed this knowledge before they became involved
84 II, 18, 6 | being placed within the knowledge of Him,--are thus involved
85 II, 18, 6 | but rather attain to the knowledge and apprehension of truth.
86 II, 19, 1 | the Demiurge without his knowledge, in order that through his
87 II, 19, 3 | very same seed conveyed knowledge and perfection to the souls
88 II, 20, 3 | from the Father, back to knowledge and to His fellowship. The
89 II, 20, 3 | suffered, and bestowing the knowledge of the Father, conferred
90 II, 21, 2 | stirred up men), without the knowledge of the Demiurge, to give
91 II, 24, 1 | character of their [professed] knowledge. For, transferring the name
92 II, 25, 3 | proportion is he, as respects knowledge and the faculity of investigating

95 II, 26, 1 | reason Paul exclaimed, "Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth:"
96 II, 26, 1 | to inveigh against a true knowledge of God, for in that case
97 II, 26, 1 | puffed up by the pretence of knowledge, fall away from the love
98 II, 26, 1 | they feel on account of knowledge of this kind, he says, "
99 II, 26, 1 | of this kind, he says, "Knowledge puffeth up, but love edifieth."
100 II, 26, 1 | that one should have no knowledge whatever of any one reason
101 II, 26, 1 | that, puffed up through knowledge of this kind, he should
102 II, 26, 1 | should search after no other knowledge except [the knowledge of]
103 II, 26, 1 | other knowledge except [the knowledge of] Jesus Christ the Son
104 II, 26, 3 | shall be made, escapes the knowledge of God, but that through
105 II, 26, 3 | exercise of transcendent knowledge, and that it was an admirable
106 II, 26, 3 | inferior to God; but, by the knowledge which he imagines himself
107 II, 27, 1 | and has subjected to our knowledge, and will make advancement

109 II, 28 | XXVIII. PERFECT KNOWLEDGE CANNOT BE ATTAINED IN THE
110 II, 28, 1 | cast away the firm and true knowledge of God. But it is much more
111 II, 28, 2 | account destitute of the knowledge of His mysteries. And there
112 II, 28, 2 | contact with) transcend out knowledge, so that even these we must
113 II, 28, 2 | He should excel all [in knowledge]. For how stands the case,
114 II, 28, 2 | this world, escapes our knowledge. What explanation, again,
115 II, 28, 3 | there are some things [the knowledge of] Which belongs only to
116 II, 28, 3 | in the range of our own knowledge, what ground is there for
117 II, 28, 6 | not ashamed to ascribe the knowledge of that day to the Father
118 II, 28, 6 | nor powers [possess this knowledge], but the Father only who
119 II, 28, 7 | but we should leave such knowledge in the hands of God Himself.
120 II, 28, 7 | therefore, to leave the knowledge of this matter to God, even
121 II, 28, 8 | to excel with respect to knowledge; for this reason, that we,
122 II, 28, 8 | world, should leave perfect knowledge, and such questions [as
123 II, 28, 9 | partial, but a universal, knowledge of all that exists,--being
124 II, 28, 9 | he has acquired greater knowledge than others with respect
125 II, 31, 1 | or by angels having no knowledge of the Propator, who is
126 II, 32, 2 | study of medicine, and the knowledge of plants, so as to become
127 II, 33, 2 | Plato, dost thou obtain the knowledge of this fact (since thy
128 II, 33, 3 | oblivion, could have no knowledge of anything else than that
129 II, 33, 4 | but it never loses the knowledge which properly belongs to
130 II, 33, 4 | body, it neither loses the knowledge of them, nor the memory
131 II, 33, 5 | things of which she has no knowledge, nor [once] knew things
132 III, 1, 1 | they possessed "perfect knowledge," as some do even venture
133 III, 1, 1 | gifts], and had perfect knowledge: they departed to the ends
134 III, 2, 2 | unsulliedly, and purely, have knowledge of the hidden mystery: this
135 III, 5, 2 | these, is driven out by knowledge. Wherefore the Lord used
136 III, 5, 2 | the Lord used to impart knowledge to His disciples, by which
137 III, 9, 1 | Jesus, has called us to the knowledge of Himself, from the worship
138 III, 9, 3 | and might, the spirit of knowledge and piety, and the spirit
139 III, 10, 1 | been in possession of the knowledge of any other more perfect
140 III, 10, 2 | prepare HiS ways; to give knowledge of salvation to His people,
141 III, 10, 2 | their sins." For this is the knowledge of salvation which was wanting
142 III, 10, 2 | This, therefore, was the knowledge of salvation; but [it did
143 III, 10, 2 | lower) Ogdoad: but the knowledge of salvation was the knowledge
144 III, 10, 2 | knowledge of salvation was the knowledge of the Son of God, who is
145 III, 10, 2 | and dwelt among us." This knowledge of salvation, therefore,
146 III, 11, 1 | who are an offset of that "knowledge" falsely so called, that
147 III, 11, 6 | means of the Son, gives knowledge of His Son to those who
148 III, 12, 3 | thus leading Israel into knowledge, and through Jesus preaching
149 III, 12, 5 | of God. For this was the knowledge of salvation, which renders
150 III, 12, 7 | is, in truth, God. the knowledge of the Son was, however,
151 III, 12, 7 | possession of the perfect knowledge which these men discovered
152 III, 12, 12 | with the false name of "knowledge," do certainly recognise

171 IV, 5, 1 | without God, to come to a knowledge of God, He teaches men,

177 IV, 6, 2 | those believing on Him a knowledge of the Father, He said to
178 IV, 6, 6 | Him no man can attain the knowledge of God. For the Son is the
179 IV, 6, 6 | God. For the Son is the knowledge of the Father; but the knowledge
180 IV, 6, 6 | knowledge of the Father; but the knowledge of the Son is in the Father,

182 IV, 11, 4 | coming, did not spread the knowledge of another Father, but of
183 IV, 12, 2 | the love of God, neither knowledge avails anything, nor the

185 IV, 20, 3 | established the heaven. By His knowledge the depths burst forth,
186 IV, 26, 1 | consummation, until many learn, and knowledge be completed. For at that
187 IV, 27, 2 | after [we have come to] the knowledge of Christ, if we do things
188 IV, 29, 1 | fit to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate
189 IV, 31, 1 | concupiscence, nor having any knowledge or thought of anything of
190 IV, 33, 7 | who furnishes us with a knowledge of the truth, and has set
191 IV, 33, 8 | True knowledge is [that which consists
192 IV, 33, 8 | which is more precious than knowledge, more glorious than prophecy,
193 IV, 35, 2 | perfection, and the Spirit of knowledge, while that from the Demiurge
194 IV, 35, 2 | exists perfection and defect, knowledge and ignorance, error and
195 IV, 35, 2 | becoming the teacher at once of knowledge and of ignorance; nor would
196 IV, 35, 3 | their mother derive his knowledge of the mysteries within
197 IV, 35, 3 | being beyond the pale of knowledge, that is, ignorance. How,
198 IV, 35, 3 | possess the power of declaring knowledge ? Or how did the mother
199 IV, 35, 3 | doors as an abortion, obtain knowledge of the mysteries within
200 IV, 35, 3 | that is, beyond the pale of knowledge? Then, again, when they
201 IV, 36, 4 | not because He reveals the knowledge of another Father, as I

203 IV, 38, 4 | God, having received the knowledge of good and evil.~
204 IV, 39, 1 | Man has received the knowledge of good and evil. It is
205 IV, 39, 1 | twofold experience, possessing knowledge of both kinds, that with
