The Refutation of All Heresies

Chapter XVII.--The Sethian Doctrines to Be Learned from the "Paraphrase of Seth."

The opinion of the Sethians appears to us to have been sufficiently elucidated. If, however, any one is desirous of learning the entire doctrine according to them, let him read a book inscribed Paraphrase of Seth; for all their secret tenets he will find deposited there. But since we have explained the opinions entertained by the Sethians, let us see also what are the doctrines advanced by Justinus.

22.

Uns scheint nun die Lehre der Sethianer genügend erklärt zu sein. Wenn aber jemand ihr ganzes Tun und Treiben kennen lernen will, der lese das Buch, das den Titel trägt: Paraphrasis Seth; alle ihre Geheimnisse wird er dort niedergelegt finden. Aber nachdem wir das die Sethianer Betreffende auseinandergesetzt haben, wollen wir sehen, was die Ansichten des Justinus sind.
