Marcionists Κατὰ Μαρκιωνιστῶν ltκβgt τῆς δὲ ἀκολουθίας ltμβgt

4211 Marcion the founder of the Marcionists was influenced by the aforementioned Cerdo and himself came forth as a great snake into the world He deceived and continues to deceive many people in many different ways and opened a school

2 The sect may still be found in Rome and in Italy in Egypt and in Palestine in Arabia and in Syria in Cyprus and the Thebaid and even in Persia and other places

3 He was by birth Pontic that is to say he was from Helenopontus from the city of Sinope as many reports about him agree

4 In the first part of his life he practiced virginity for he was an ascetic and the son of a bishop of our holy Catholic church But in the course of time unfortunately he met a virgin deceived her and drew both her and himself down from that in which they had put their hopes Having seduced her he was expelled from the church by his own father

5 For his father was illustrious on account of his piety had a great concern for the church and was outstanding in his exercise of the episcopal office

6 Time and again Marcion begged and beseechcd his father for a chance to repent but did not get it for the notable old bishop took it hard that not only had his son lapsed but that he had also brought shame upon him

7 So as he could not wheedle out of him what he wanted and could not stand the mockery of the people he fled his city and went up to Rome itself after the death of Hyginus the bishop of Rome

421 Μαρκίων ἀφ οὗπερ οἱ Μαρκιωνισταί ἐκ τούτου τοῦ προειρημένου Κέρδωνος τὴν πρόφασιν εἰληφὼς καὶ αὐτὸς μέγας ὄφις προῆλθεν τῷ βίῳ πολὺ δὲ πλῆθος ἐξαπατήσας ἔτι εἰς δεῦρο εἰς πολλοὺς τρόπους προεστήσατο διδασκαλεῖον

7 ὡς τοίνυν οὐκ ἔτυχε παρ αὐτοῦ διὰ τῆς κολακείας ὧν ἐδέετο μὴ φέρων τὴν ἀπὸ τῶν πολλῶν χλεύην ἀποδιδράσκει τῆς πόλεως τῆς αὐτοῦ καὶ ἄνεισιν εἰς τὴν Ῥώμην αὐτήν μετὰ τὸ

(who was ninth after the apostles Peter and Paul) Meeting the elders who were still alive and and who had been instructed by the disciples of the apostles he asked to be admitted to communion but no one would allow him

8 Then finally seized by jealousy because he had obtained neither the leadership of nor admittance to the church he considered the matter and went over to the sect of the deceiver Cerdo

τελευτῆσαι Ὑγῖνον τὸν ἐπίσκοπον Ῥώμης (οὗτος δὲ ἔνατος ἦν ἀπὸ Πέτρου καὶ Παύλου τῶν ἀποστόλων) καὶ τοῖς ἔτι πρεσβύταις περιοῦσι καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν μαθητῶν τῶν ἀποστόλων ὁρμωμένοις συμβαλὼν ᾔτει συναχθῆναι καὶ οὐδεὶς αὐτῷ συγκεχώρηκε

8 ζήλῳ λοιπὸν ἐπαρθείς ὡς οὐκ ἀπείληφε τὴν προεδρίαν τε καὶ τὴν εἴσδυσιν τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἐπινοεῖ ἑαυτῷ καὶ προσφεύγει τῇ τοῦ ἀπατεῶνος Κέρδωνος αἱρέσει

4221 In posing his question to those who were then the elders he began so to speak at the very beginning and made the starting point of his inquiries the following Tell me what does this mean They do not put new wine into old skins or a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment otherwise the patch pulls away and will not fit the old material for a bigger tear will result

2 When the kindly and all-holy elders and teachers of the holy church of God heard the question they replied to him with kindness giving the reasonable and fitting explanation

3 Child the old skins represent the hearts of the Pharisees and scribes inveterate in sins and unreceptive of the preaching of the gospel

4 And the old garment is like Judas who was inveterate in avarice and did not accept the proclamation of hope in the new and holy and heavenly mystery even though he was associated with the eleven apostles and called by the Lord himself

5 He suffered a greater rupture through his own fault with no one else the cause of it because his mind was not in tune with the hope above and the heavenly calling of the future good things instead of with the things here and the pomp and the hope and pleasure in passing friendship

6 But Marcion denied this saying That is not so the meaning is different ltButgt since they refused

4221 Καὶ ἄρχεται ὡς εἰπεῖν ἐξ αὐτῆς τῆς ἀρχῆς καὶ ὡς ἀπὸ θυρῶν τῶν ζητημάτων προτείνειν τοῖς κατ ἐκεῖνο καιροῦ πρεσβυτέροις τοῦτο τὸ ζήτημα λέγων laquoεἴπατέ μοι τί ἐστι τό οὐ βάλλουσιν οἶνον νέον εἰς ἀσκοὺς παλαιοὺς οὐδὲ ἐπίβλημα ῥάκους ἀγνάφου ἐπὶ ἱματίῳ παλαιῷ εἰ δὲ μή γε καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αἴρει καὶ τῷ παλαιῷ οὐ συμφωνήσει μεῖζον γὰρ σχίσμα γενήσεταιraquo

to receive him ltforgt this reason he spoke plainly to them Why do you not want to accept me

7 They replied We cannot do that without the permission of your revered father There is one faith and one common mind and we cannot oppose your father our good fellow minister

8 Then in his jealousy becoming furiously angry and contemptuous he caused the rupture forming his own sect and saying I will rend your church and make a split in it forever And in fact he caused no small rupture rending not the church but himself and those who put their trust in him

4231 He was influenced by the aforementioned Cerdo a magician and deceiver He too proclaimed two principles but he added further to him to Cerdo that is and taught something different than he He said that there are three principles one the unnameable and invisible one which he wants to call as well the good God and which has created nothing in the world

2 another the visible God who is creator and demiurge and the third the devil who is as it were between the two others the visible and the invisible The creator and demiurge and visible God is of the Jews and is judge

3 Marcion also preaches virginity and fasting on Saturday He celebrates the sacraments with the catechumens looking on He uses water in the sacraments

4 He says to fast on Saturday for this reason since it is the time of rest for the God of the Jews who made the world and rested on the seventh day we should fast on that day lest we do what befits the God of the Jews

5 He rejects the resurrection of the flesh like

423 Ἔλαβε δὲ τὴν πρόφασιν παρὰ τοῦ προειρημένου Κέρδωνος γόητος καὶ ἀπατηλοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς μὲν γὰρ δύο κηρύττει ἀρχάς προςθεὶς δὲ πάλιν ἐκείνῳ φημὶ τῷ Κέρδωνι ἕτερόν τι παρ ἐκεῖνον δείκνυσι λέγων τρεῖς εἶναι ἀρχάς μίαν μὲν τὴν ἄνω ἀκατονόμαστον καὶ ἀόρατον ἣν καὶ ἀγαθὸν θεὸν βούλεται λέγειν μηδὲν δὲ τῶν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ κτίσασαν

4 τὸ δὲ σάββατον νηστεύειν διὰ τοιαύτην αἰτίαν φάσκει ἐπειδή φησί τοῦ θεοῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐστὶν ἡ ἀνάπαυσις τοῦ πεποιηκότος τὸν κόσμον καὶ ἐν τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀναπαυσαμένου ἡμεῖς νηστεύσωμεν ταύτην ἵνα μὴ τὸ καθῆκον τοῦ θεοῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐργαζώμεθα

5 τὴν τῆς σαρκὸς δὲ ἀθετεῖ ἀνάστασιν καθάπερ

many of the sects Resurrection life and salvation belong to the soul only he says

6 But he gives not just one sacred bath it is allowed by them to give up to three baths and more to those who want them as I have heard from many people

7 It came about that he allowed three or more baths to be given because of the mockery he suffered from his disciples who knew him on account of his lapse and his seduction of the virgin

8 Because he seduced the virgin in his own city fled and was detected in his great lapse the imposter thought up for himself a second bath saying that it is allowed to give up to three baths that is three baptisms to take away sins so that if one lapses after the first and repents he receives a second and a third likewise if he lapses after the second

9 In order to save himself from ridicule he offers as proof that after his fall he was once again purified and is now among the innocent a text which he argues wrongly is persuasive one which can deceive although it does not have the meaning he gives it

10 He says that the Lord who had been baptized by John used to say to his disciples I have a baptism with which to be baptized and how I wish that I had accomplished it and again I have a cup to drink and my only wish is to fill it And thus he taught the giving of several baptisms

πολλαὶ τῶν αἱρέσεων ψυχῆς δὲ ἀνάστασιν εἶναι λέγει καὶ ζωὴν καὶ σωτηρίαν μόνης

6 οὐ μόνον δὲ παρ αὐτῷ ἓν λουτρὸν δίδοται ἀλλὰ καὶ ἕως τριῶν λουτρῶν καὶ ἐπέκεινα ἔξεστι διδόναι παρ αὐτοῖς τῷ βουλομένῳ ὡς παρὰ πολλῶν ἀκήκοα

7 συμβέβηκε δὲ τοῦτο γενέσθαι αὐτῷ τὸ ἐφίεσθαι τρία ἢ καὶ πλείω λουτρὰ δίδοσθαι δι ἣν ὑπεῖχεν χλεύην παρὰ τῶν αὐτὸν ἐγνωκότων μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκ παραπτώματός τε καὶ φθορᾶς τῆς εἰς τὴν παρθένον γεγενημένης

8 ἐπειδὴ φθείρας ἐν τῇ ἑαυτοῦ πόλει τὴν παρθένον καὶ ἀποδράσας μὲν ἐν παραπτώματι μεγάλῳ εὑρέθη ἐπενόησεν ὁ ἀγύρτης ἑαυτῷ δεύτερον λουτρόν φήσας ὅτι ἔξεστιν ἕως τριῶν λουτρῶν τουτέστιν τριῶν βαπτισμῶν εἰς ἄφεσιν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν δίδοσθαι ἵν εἴ τις παρέπεσεν εἰς τὸ πρῶτον λάβῃ δεύτερον μετανοήσας καὶ τρίτον ὡσαύτως ἐὰν ἐν παραπτώματι μετὰ τὸ δεύτερον γένηται

9 φέρει δὲ δῆθεν ἵνα τὴν ἑαυτοῦ χλεύην ἀνασώσῃ εἰς παράστασιν αὐτοῦ ὅτι [τὸ] μετὰ τὸ αὐτοῦ παράπτωμα πάλιν ἐκαθαρίσθη καὶ λοιπὸν ἐν ἀθῴοις ὑπάρχει μαρτυρίαν περὶ τούτου ψευδηγορῶν ὡς πιθανήν δυναμένην ἐξαπατῆσαι οὐ τοῦτο δὲ σημαίνουσαν ὃ αὐτὸς λέγει

10 ὅτι φησί βαπτισθεὶς ὁ κύριος ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἰωάννου ἔλεγε τοῖς μαθηταῖς laquoβάπτισμα ἔχω βαπτισθῆναι καὶ τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη τετέλεκα αὐτόraquo καὶ πάλιν laquoποτήριον ἔχω πιεῖν καὶ τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη πληρώσω αὐτόraquo καὶ οὕτω τὸ διδόναι πλείω βαπτίσματα ἐδογμάτισεν

4241 Not only that but he also rejects the law and all the prophets saying that such people prophesied under the influence of the archon who made the world

4241 Οὐ μόνον δὲ τοῦτο ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸν νόμον ἀποβάλλει καὶ πάντας προφήτας λέγων ἐκ τοῦ ἄρχοντος τοῦ τὸν κόσμον πεποιηκότος τοὺς τοιούτους πεπροφητευκέναι

2 He says that Christ came down from above from the invisible and unnameable Father for the salvation of souls and the refutation of the God of the Jews the law the prophets and suchlike

2 Χριστὸν δὲ λέγει ἄνωθεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀοράτου καὶ ἀκατονομάστου πατρὸς καταβεβηκέναι ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ τῶν ψυχῶν καὶ ἐπὶ ἐλέγχῳ τοῦ θεοῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ νόμου καὶ προφητῶν καὶ τῶν τοιούτων

3 The Lord descended to the netherworld to save those associated with Cain Korah Dathan and Abiram as well as Esau and all the nations who did not know the God of the Jews

3 καὶ ἄχρι Ἅιδου καταβεβηκέναι τὸν κύριον ἵνα σώσῃ τοὺς περὶ Κάϊν καὶ Κορὲ καὶ Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβειρών Ἠσαῦ τε καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ μὴ ἐγνωκότα τὸν θεὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων

4 But those associated with Abel Enoch Noah Abraham Isaac Jacob and Moses David and Solomon he left there because he says they knew the God of the Jews who is maker and creator and did what he commanded and did not dedicate themselves to the invisible God

4 τοὺς δὲ περὶ Ἄβελ καὶ Ἐνὼχ καὶ Νῶε καὶ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ Μωυσέα Δαυίδ τε καὶ Σολομῶντα ἐκεῖ καταλελοιπέναι διότι ἐπέγνωσαν φησί τὸν θεὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὄντα ποιητὴν καὶ κτιστήν καὶ τὰ καθήκοντα αὐτοῦ πεποιήκασι καὶ οὐχὶ τῷ θεῷ τῷ ἀοράτῳ ἑαυτοὺς προσανέθεντο

5 He also allows women to baptize For with them all is ridicule and nothing else since they dare even to celebrate the sacraments in the sight of catechumens

5 δίδωσι καὶ ἐπιτροπὴν γυναιξὶ βάπτισμα διδόναι παρ αὐτοῖς γὰρ πάντα χλεύης ἔμπλεα καὶ οὐδὲν ἕτερον ὁπότε καὶ τὰ μυστήρια ἐνώπιον κατηχουμένων ἐπιτελεῖν τολμῶσιν

6 He says also as I mentioned that resurrection is not of bodies but of souls and he restricts salvation to them he does not allow it for the bodies And he talks likewise about transmigrations of souls and reincarnations from bodies to bodies

6 ἀνάστασιν δὲ ὡς εἶπον οὗτος λέγει οὐχὶ σωμάτων ἀλλὰ ψυχῶν καὶ σωτηρίαν ταύταις ὁρίζεται οὐχὶ τοῖς σώμασιν καὶ μεταγγισμοὺς ὁμοίως τῶν ψυχῶν καὶ μετενσωματώσεις ἀπὸ σωμάτων εἰς σώματα φάσκει

425 Πανταχόθεν δὲ πίπτει ἡ αὐτοῦ ματαία κενοφωνία ὡς ἤδη μοι ἐν ἄλλαις αἱρέσεσι πεπραγμάτευται πῶς γὰρ ἀναστήσεται ἡ μὴ πεπτωκυῖα ψυχή ἀνάστασις δὲ πῶς αὐτῆς κληθήσεται τῆς μὴ πεσούσης ψυχῆς πᾶν γὰρ τὸ πῖπτον ἀναστάσεως δεῖται πίπτει δὲ οὐχὶ ψυχή ἀλλὰ σῶμα ὅθεν καὶ δικαίως πτῶμα αὐτὸ ἡ συνήθεια εἴωθεν καλεῖν καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ κύριος εἰπὼν ὅτι laquoὅπου τὸ πτῶμα ἐκεῖ συναχθήσονται οἱ ἀετοίraquo καὶ γὰρ ἐν τοῖς μνήμασιν οὐ κατακλείομεν ψυχάς ἀλλὰ σώματα κατατιθέαμεν ἐν γῇ καταχώσαντες ὧν ἡ ἀνάστασις εἰς ἐλπίδα ἔχει τὸ κήρυγμα καθάπερ ὁ τοῦ σίτου κόκκος ὡς καὶ ὁ ἅγιος ἀπόστολος τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἤνεγκεν περὶ τοῦ κόκκου τοῦ σίτου καὶ τῶν ἄλλων σπερμάτων καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ κύριος ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ ὅτι laquoἐὰν μὴ πεσὼν ὁ κόκκος τοῦ σίτου ἀποθάνῃ μόνος μένειraquo ὁ δὲ ἅγιος ἀπόστολός φησιν laquoἄφρωνraquo (ἄφρονα γὰρ καλεῖ τὸν ἄπιστον τὸν ὅλως ἀμφιβάλλοντα καὶ λέγοντα laquoπῶς ἡ ἀνάστασις γίνεται ποίῳ δὲ σώματι ἔρχονταιraquo καὶ εὐθὺς πρὸς τοὺς τοιούτους φησίν) laquoἄφρων σὺ ὃ σπείρεις οὐ ζωογονεῖται ἐὰν μὴ ἀποθάνῃraquo καὶ ἔδειξεν ἐξ ἅπαντος ἡ γραφὴ τοῦ πεπτωκότος κόκκου τουτέστιν τοῦ σώματος τοῦ θαπτομένου καὶ οὐ ψυχῆς τὴν ἀνάστασιν γίνεσθαι πῶς δὲ ψυχὴ ἐλεύσεται μόνη πῶς δὲ βασιλεύσει μόνη ἡ ὁμοῦ σὺν σώματι ἐργασαμένη

τὸ δίκαιον ἢ τὸ φαῦλον ἔσται γὰρ ἐναντία καὶ οὐ δικαία ἡ κρίσις

4261 How will Marcions theory of the three principles hold together How will the one be found to be good who performs a work of salvation or of something else in the region of the one who is evil

4261 Πῶς δὲ συσταθήσεται ὁ παρ αὐτῷ τῷ Μαρκίωνι τριῶν ἀρχῶν λόγος πῶς δὲ [ὁ] ἀγαθὸς εὑρεθήσεται ltὁgt ἐν τοῖς τοῦ φαύλου μέρεσιν ἔργον ἐπιτελῶν ἢ σωτηρίας ἢ τῶν ἄλλων

2 For if the world is not his but he sent his only begotten into the world to take out of the world which is not his what he neither sowed nor made he will be found to be one who goes after what is not his or who suffers from poverty and has no possessions of his own but gives himself over to what belongs to another in order to provide for himself what he did not have before

2 εἰ γὰρ οὐκ αὐτοῦ τυγχάνει ὁ κόσμος ἀπέστειλεν δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ εἰς τὸν κόσμον λαβεῖν ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τοῦ ἀλλοτρίου ἃ μὴ αὐτὸς ἔσπειρεν μηδὲ ἐποίησεν εὑρεθήσεται ἢ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων ἐφιέμενος ἢ πενίαν ὑφιστάμενος καὶ ἴδια μὴ ἔχων ἐπὶ τὰ ἀλλότρια ἑαυτὸν ἐπιδιδούς ὅπως ἑαυτῷ προσπορίσηται ἃ μὴ πρότερον ἔχει

3 But how will the demiurge be a judge between the other two And whom can he judge For if he sits in judgment over the possessions of the one above he is more powerful than the one above since he brings into his court what belongs to the one above as Marcion teaches

3 πῶς δὲ κριτὴς ἀνὰ μέσον ἀμφοτέρων γενήσεται ὁ δημιουργός εἶτα τίνας ἔχει κρῖναι εἰ γὰρ τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἄνω σκευῶν δικαστὴς προκαθέζεται ἰσχύει ὑπὲρ τὸν ἄνω ἐπειδὴ φέρει εἰς μέσον τῶν αὐτοῦ κριτηρίων τὰ τοῦ ἄνω ὑπάρχοντα ὡς τῷ Μαρκίωνι ἔδοξε

4 And if he is really a judge he is just Now we will show from the word just that good and just mean the same

4 καὶ εἰ ὅλως κριτὴς τυγχάνει δίκαιός ἐστι δείξομεν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ δικαίου ὀνόματος ὅτι ταὐτόν ἐστι τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ τὸ δίκαιον

5 For whatever is just is also good For it is from being good that he grants with justice and truth what is good to the one who has done good and he will no longer be opposed to the one who is good in respect to what is good since he furnishes in justice what is good to the one who is good and the rebuke of punishment to the one who is wicked

5 πᾶν γὰρ ὃ δίκαιόν ἐστι τοῦτο καὶ ἀγαθόν ἀπὸ γὰρ τοῦ ἀγαθὸν εἶναι τὸ ἀγαθὸν χαρίζεται δικαίως μετὰ ἀληθείας τῷ ἀγαθὰ δράσαντι καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται πρὸς τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐναντίος τῷ ἀγαθῷ κατὰ δικαιοσύνην τὸ ἀγαθὸν τῷ ἀγαθῷ παρέχων καὶ τῷ φαύλῳ τὴν ἐπιτιμίαν τῆς τιμωρίας

6 Nor further will he be good who renders the good reward at the end to the one who is wicked and does not repent even if for the present he causes his sun to rise on the good and the bad and furnishes his moisture to both evil and good people because of their present freedom of will

6 οὐδὲ πάλιν ἀγαθὸς ἂν εἴη ὁ τῷ πονηρῷ τὸν ἀγαθὸν μισθὸν ἐπὶ τῷ τέλει ἀποδιδοὺς μὴ μετανοοῦντι εἰ καὶ ἐν τῷ παρόντι ἀνατέλλοι αὐτοῦ τὸν ἥλιον ἐπὶ ἀγαθοὺς καὶ φαύλους καὶ τὸν ὑετὸν αὐτοῦ παρέχοι διὰ τὸ νῦν αὐτεξούσιον τοῖς τε πονηροῖς καὶ ἀγαθοῖς ἀνθρώποις

7 For that nature cannot be good and just which belongs to the one who furnishes to the one who is evil the reward of salvation in the future age and does not rather hate what is wicked and evil

7 ἀγαθὴ γὰρ οὐκέτι ἔσται φύσις καὶ δικαία τοῦ τῷ πονηρῷ μισθὸν ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι αἰῶνι σωτηρίας παρέχοντος καὶ οὐ μᾶλλον μισοῦντος τὸ πονηρὸν καὶ φαῦλον

8 Now their third evil god if he has the power to do evil and to prevail against those in the world whether they are of those that are good from above or belong to the just one who is

8 ὁ δὲ τρίτος εὑρισκόμενος παρ αὐτῷ πονηρός εἰ ἔχει τὴν ἐξουσίαν τὰ πονηρὰ ἐργάζεσθαι καὶ κατισχύειν τῶν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἢ τῶν ἄνωθεν ἀγαθῶν ἢ τοῦ μέσου δικαίου εὑρεθήσεται

intermediate will turn out to be mightier than the two gods of whom Marcion speaks since he has the power to seize what is not his

ἰσχυρότερος οὗτος τῶν δύο θεῶν τῶν παρὰ Μαρκίωνι λεγομένων ἐπειδὴ ἐξουσιάζει ἁρπάζειν τὰ ἀλλότρια

9 And the other two will stand finally condemned as powerless in comparison with the one the one who is wicked since they cannot resist and rescue their possessions from the one who seizes them and converts them to wickedness

9 καὶ ἀδρανεῖς λοιπὸν καταψηφισθήσονται οἱ δύο παρὰ τὸν ἕνα πονηρόν οἱ μὴ δυνάμενοι ἀντέχειν καὶ ῥύεσθαι ἀπὸ τοῦ ἁρπάζοντος τὰ αὐτῶν ὄντα καὶ εἰς πονηρίαν μεταβάλλοντος

4271 Let us consider the matter in yet another way that we may bring to light the imposters empty-headed ridicule If the evil one is entirely evil but seizes those who are good from the good god and those who are just from the just god and does not seize only those who belong to himself then the evil one will turn out not to be evil since he grasps for those who are good and presses his claim to them as to those who are superior

4271 ἄλλως δὲ πάλιν νοήσωμεν ἵνα τὴν χλεύην τοῦ ἀγύρτου φωράσωμεν τῆς ματαιοφροσύνης εἰ γὰρ ὅλως ὁ πονηρὸς πονηρὸς ὑπάρχει ἁρπάζει δὲ τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ καὶ τοὺς δικαίους ἀπὸ τοῦ δικαίου ἰδίους δὲ οὐχ ἁρπάζει μόνους εὑρεθήσεται ὁ πονηρὸς οὐκέτι πονηρός τῶν ἀγαθῶν ὀρεγόμενος καὶ ἐπιδικαζόμενος ὡς βελτιόνων

2a And if as well he judges those who belong to him and exacts retribution from those who do wrong then he cannot be evil he who is judge of the evil

8 If the two principles act as citizens in the realm of the one the demiurge with the evil god ltcontinually activegt in the realm of the demiurge and the Christ of the good god resident there as well then the judge will turn out to be not only judge and demiurge but good as well since he allows the two to do as they like with his possessions Or else he will turn out to be powerless and unable to hinder the aliens who plunder his property

8 εἰ δὲ ἐν τοῖς τοῦ ἑνός λέγω δὴ τοῦ δημιουργοῦ αἱ δύο ἀρχαί εἰσιν ἐμπολιτευόμεναι ὅ τε πονηρὸς ἐν τοῖς τοῦ δημιουργοῦ dagger χώραις τε καὶ χώροις καὶ ὁ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ Χριστὸς ἐπιδημήσας οὐκέτι ἄρα κριτὴς καὶ δημιουργὸς μόνον ὁ κριτὴς εὑρεθήσεται ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀγαθός συγχωρῶν τοῖς δυσὶν εἰς τὰ ἴδια ποιεῖν ὃ βούλονται ἢ ἀδρανὴς εὑρεθήσεται καὶ μὴ ἰσχύων κωλῦσαι τῶν ἰδίων τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους ἅρπαγας

9 But if he is inferior in power then creation will turn out to be not something enduring but something that has long ago vanished since each day it is snatched away by the evil god to his own realm and by the good one to the realm above And how can creation still endure

9 εἰ δὲ καὶ ἥσσων τῇ δυνάμει ἐστίν οὐκέτι εὑρεθήσεται ἡ δημιουργία συνεστῶσα ἀλλ ἐξέλιπεν ἔκπαλαι ἀναρπαζομένη καθ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ὑπό τε τοῦ πονηροῦ εἰς τὸ ἴδιον μέρος καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ εἰς τὰ ἄνω

10 If you say that it will cease in time to exist and that through the care exercised by the good god it can cease to exist completely then will not the good god lie responsible for the damage done as he did not do long ago what he later deemed it good to accomplish nor for that matter do it from the outset before the majority were injured came to be detained by the judge and remained below

10 καὶ πῶς ἔτι ἡ δημιουργία σταθήσεται εἰ δὲ ὅτι χρόνῳ λήξει λέγεις καὶ δυνατὸν ταύτην ὅλως λήγειν διὰ τῆς τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ἐπιμελείας οὐκοῦν ὁ ἀγαθὸς αἴτιος τῆς βλάβης ἔσται ὁ μὴ πάλαι ποιήσας ὅπερ ὕστερον ἀγαθὸν ἔδοξεν ἐπιτελεῖν μήτε μὴν πεποιηκὼς ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνέκαθεν πρὶν ἢ τοὺς πλείους ἀδικηθῆναι καὶ ἐν καθέξει αὐτοὺς γενέσθαι τοῦ κριτοῦ καὶ κάτω μεμενηκέναι

4281 He also presents things from sacred scripture which he does not understand aright deceiving the simple when he twists the words of the apostle which run Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law having become a curse for us He says If we were his he would not have bought what was his

4281 Πάλιν δὲ τὰ τῆς θείας γραφῆς οὐκ ὀρθῶς νοῶν προφέρει καὶ τοὺς ἀκεραίους ἐξαπατᾷ διαστρέφων τὸ τοῦ ἀποστόλου ῥητόν ὅτι laquoΧριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάραraquo καί φησιν εἰ ἦμεν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἂν τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ἠγόραζεν

2 But when he bought us he came into an alien 2 ἀγοράσας δὲ εἰς ἀλλότριον κόσμον ἦλθεν ἡμᾶς

world to redeem us who did not belong to him For we were made by another and for that reason he purchased us for his own life

ἐξαγοράσαι τοὺς οὐκ ὄντας αὐτοῦ ποίημα γὰρ ἦμεν ἑτέρου καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἡμᾶς αὐτὸς ἠγόραζεν εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ζωήν

ἀγνοεῖ δὲ ὅλως ὁ ἠλίθιος ὅτι οὔτε Χριστὸς κατάρα γεγένηται (μὴ γένοιτο) ἀλλὰ τὴν κατάραν τὴν διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν ἀφεῖλεν ἑαυτὸν σταυρώσας καὶ γενόμενος θάνατος θανάτῳ [διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν] καὶ κατάρα αὐτὸς τῇ κατάρᾳ γενόμενος διὸ οὐκ ἔστι Χριστὸς κατάρα ἀλλὰ τῆς κατάρας λύσις εὐλογία δὲ πᾶσι τοῖς εἰς αὐτὸν ἀληθῶς πεπιστευκόσιν οὕτω καὶ τὸ laquoἐξηγόρασενraquo οὐκ εἶπεν laquoἠγόρασενraquo οὔτε γὰρ εἰς ἀλλότριον ἦλθεν ἁρπάσαι ἢ ἀγοράσαι εἰ γὰρ ἠγόρασεν μὴ ἔχων ἠγόρασε καὶ ὡς πτωχὸς ἃ μὴ εἶχεν ἐκτήσατο καὶ εἰ ὁ κεκτημένος ἡμᾶς πέπρακεν ἀπορήσας πέπρακεν ἀπό τινος ἄρα δανειστοῦ ἐλαυνόμενος ἀλλ οὐκ ἔχει οὕτως οὔτε γὰρ εἶπεν laquoἠγόρασενraquo ἀλλ laquoἐξηγόρασενraquo ὅμοιον δὲ τούτῳ ὁ αὐτὸς ἅγιος ἀπόστολός φησιν laquoἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσιraquo καὶ οὐχ ἡμέρας ἀγοράζομεν οὐδὲ τιμὴν ἡμερῶν δίδομεν ἀλλὰ τὸ δι ὑπομονὴν καὶ τὸ μελλητικὸν τῆς μακροθυμίας σημαίνων τοῦτο ἔφη ὥστε τὸ ἐξηγόρασε τὴν ὑπόθεσιν ὑπέφηνεν τῆς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἀναδοχῆς ἐν κόσμῳ ἐνσάρκου παρουσίας ltδιgt ἧς ἀνεδέξατο ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν παθεῖν ὁ ἀπαθὴς ὢν θεός μένων ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ ἀπαθείᾳ τῆς αὐτοῦ θεότητος καὶ αὐτὸ ὃ ἀνεδέξατο ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν παθεῖν οὐκ ἀγοράζων ἡμᾶς ἀπ ἀλλοτρίων ἀλλὰ τὴν ὑπόθεσιν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν τοῦ σταυροῦ ἀναδεξάμενος προαιρέσει καὶ οὐ μετ ἀνάγκης ὅθεν ἐλήλεγκται κατὰ πάντα τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ὁ λόγος καὶ πολλά ἐστι τὰ πρὸς ἀνατροπὴν τῆς τούτου μηχανῆς καὶ τραγῳδίας ἐξ εὐσεβοῦς λογισμοῦ καὶ εὐλόγου ὁρμώμενα ἐμφάσεως ἐν τῇ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀντιρρήσει

4291a I will now proceed to his writings or rather to his mischief

4291a Ἐλεύσομαι δὲ εἰς τὰ ὑπ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα μᾶλλον δὲ ἐρρᾳδιουργημένα

1b He has as a gospel only Lukes with the beginning removed because of the Saviors conception and incarnation

1b οὗτος γὰρ ἔχει εὐαγγέλιον μόνον τὸ κατὰ Λουκᾶν περικεκομμένον ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς διὰ τὴν τοῦ σωτῆρος σύλληψιν καὶ τὴν ἔνσαρκον αὐτοῦ παρουσίαν

2a But he cut off not just the beginning 2a οὐ μόνον δὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἀπέτεμεν hellip2b but removed as well much of the conclusion and of the words of truth that come between and added other things to what was written But this is the only writing he accepts Lukes Gospel

2b ὁ λυμηνάμενος ἑαυτὸν ltμᾶλλονgt ἤπερ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦ τέλους καὶ τῶν μέσων πολλὰ περιέκοψε τῶν τῆς ἀληθείας λόγων ἄλλα δὲ παρὰ τὰ γεγραμμένα προστέθεικεν μόνῳ δὲ

κέχρηται τούτῳ τῷ χαρακτῆρι τῷ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίῳ

3 He has as well ten letters of the holy apostle which are all he accepts but he does not accept everything written in them Some of their passages he removes and some he alters These are the two books he accepts but he composed other writings of his own for those whom he led astray

3 ἔχει δὲ καὶ ἐπιστολὰς παρ αὐτῷ τοῦ ἁγίου ἀποστόλου δέκα αἷς μόναις κέχρηται οὐ πᾶσι δὲ τοῖς ἐν αὐταῖς γεγραμμένοις ἀλλὰ τινὰ αὐτῶν περιτέμνων τινὰ δὲ ἀλλοιώσας κεφάλαια ταύταις δὲ ταῖς δυσὶ βίβλοις κέχρηται ἄλλα δὲ συντάγματα ἀφ ἑαυτοῦ συνέταξε τοῖς ὑπ αὐτοῦ πλανωμένοις hellip

4 The letters mentioned by him are first to the Galatians second to the Corinthians third the second letter to the Corinthians fourth to the Romans fifth to the Thessalonians sixth the second letter to the Thessaloni-ans seventh to the Ephesians eighth to the Colossians ninth to Philemon and tenth to the Philippians He also has parts of the letter called to the Laodiceans

4 αἱ δὲ ἐπιστολαὶ αἱ παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμεναί εἰσι πρώτη μὲν πρὸς Γαλάτας δευτέρα δὲ πρὸς Κορινθίους τρίτη πρὸς Κορινθίους δευτέρα τετάρτη πρὸς Ῥωμαίους πέμπτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς ἕκτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς δευτέρα ἑβδόμη πρὸς Ἐφεσίους ὀγδόη πρὸς Κολασσαεῖς ἐνάτη πρὸς Φιλήμονα δεκάτη πρὸς Φιλιππησίους ἔχει δὲ καὶ τῆς πρὸς Λαοδικέας λεγομένης μέρηἐξ οὗπερ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ παρ αὐτῷ σῳζομένου τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν τοῦ ἀποστόλου δεῖξαι αὐτὸν σὺν θεῷ ἔχομεν ἀπατεῶνα καὶ πεπλανημένον καὶ ἀκρότατα διελέγξαι ἐξ αὐτῶν γὰρ ἀναμφιβόλως τῶν παρ αὐτοῦ ὁμολογουμένων ἀνατραπήσεται ἐκ γὰρ τῶν αὐτῶν ἔτι παρ αὐτῷ λειψάνων τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν εὑρισκομένων δειχθήσεται ὁ Χριστὸς τοῖς συνετοῖς μὴ ἀλλότριος εἶναι παλαιᾶς διαθήκης καὶ οἱ προφῆται οὖν οὐκ ἀλλότριοι ὄντες τῆς τοῦ κυρίου ἐνδημίας καὶ ὅτι ἀνάστασιν σαρκὸς ὁ ἀπόστολος κηρύττει καὶ δικαίους τοὺς προφήτας ὀνομάζει καὶ ἐν σῳζομένοις ὑπάρχοντας τοὺς περὶ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶ τῆς ἁγίας τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκκλησίας σωτήριά τε καὶ ἅγια καὶ ἐκ θεοῦ ἐστηριγμένα ἔν τε τῇ πίστει καὶ ἐν τῇ γνώσει καὶ ἐν ἐλπίδι καὶ διδασκαλίᾳ

42101 I shall here insert the work which I composed against him before I devoted myself to this work which I undertook at your urging my brothers

4210 Παραθήσομαι δὲ καὶ ἣν ἐποιησάμην κατ αὐτοῦ πραγματείαν πρὶν τοῦ ταύτην μου τὴν σύνταξιν ἐσπουδακέναι διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν τῶν ἀδελφῶν προτροπῆς ποιήσασθαι

2 Many years ago when I was examining the deceptions and ridiculous teaching which Marcion had thought up and was reading the very books I just mentioned which lthe had mutilatedgt the one he calls a gospel and ltthe onegt he calls the letters of the apostle I picked out and listed in order the passages from the two books from which

2 ἀπὸ ἐτῶν ἱκανῶν ἀνερευνῶν τὴν τούτου τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ἐπινενοημένην ψευδηγορίαν καὶ ληρώδη διδασκαλίαν αὐτὰς δὴ τὰς τοῦ προειρημένου βίβλους ἃς dagger κέκτηται μετὰ χεῖρας λαβών τό τε παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμενον εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ltτὸgt ἀποστολικὸν καλούμενον παρ αὐτῷ ἐξανθισάμενος καὶ ἀναλεξάμενος καθ εἱρμὸν ἀπὸ

he may be refuted and made a sketch of a work in which I put the passages in sequence and listed each one as 1 2 3

τῶν προειρημένων δύο βιβλίων τὰ ἐλέγξαι αὐτὸν δυνάμενα ἐδάφιόν τι συντάξεως ἐποιησάμην ἀκολούθως τάξας κεφάλαια καὶ ἐπιγράψας ἑκάστῃ ῥήσει ltαgt ltβgt ltγgt

3 And in this way I went through to the end listing the places where the wretch even yet in the passages which remain preserves words of the Savior and of the apostle which speak against him

3 καὶ οὕτως ἕως τέλους διεξῆλθον ἐν οἷς φαίνεται ἠλιθίως καθ ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι ταύτας τὰς παραμεινάσας τοῦ τε σωτῆρος καὶ τοῦ ἀποστόλου λέξεις φυλάττων

4 For some of them he in his villainy alters to a form different from the text of Lukes Gospel and the wording of the letters of the apostle

4 αἱ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν παρηλλαγμένως ὑπ αὐτοῦ ἐρρᾳδιουργήθησαν καὶ ὡς οὐκ εἶχεν τοῦ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀντίγραφον οὔτε ἡ τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ χαρακτῆρος ἔμφασις

5 Others are just as they appear in the gospel and in the apostle not altered by him but suitable to refute him ones in which ltthegt Old Testament is shown to be in harmony with the New and the New with the Old

5 ἄλλα δὲ φύσει ὡς ἔχει καὶ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ὁ ἀπόστολος μὴ ἀλλαγέντα ὑπ αὐτοῦ δυνάμενα δὲ αὐτὸν διελέγχειν δι ὧν δείκνυται ltἡgt παλαιὰ διαθήκη συμφωνοῦσα πρὸς τὴν νέαν καὶ ἡ καινὴ πρὸς τὴν παλαιὰν διαθήκην

6 Still other passages from the books show that Christ came in the flesh and became a complete human being among us

6 ἄλλαι δὲ πάλιν λέξεις τῶν αὐτῶν βιβλίων ὑποφαίνουσαι Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθέναι καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν τελείως ἐνηνθρωπηκέναι

7 Others again acknowledge the resurrection of the dead and God the one almighty Lord of all himself maker of heaven and earth and all that comes to be on the earth and neither falsify the calling of the gospel nor deny the maker and creator of all but point to him who is clearly acknowledged by the apostolic writing and the gospel message

7 ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλαι πάλιν ὁμολογοῦσαι τὴν τῶν νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν καὶ τὸν θεὸν ἕνα ὄντα κύριον πάντων παντοκράτορα αὐτὸν ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς γενομένων καὶ οὔτε παραχαράσσουσαι τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τὴν κλῆσιν οὔτε μὴν ἀρνούμεναι τὸν ποιητὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν τῶν πάντων ἀλλὰ δηλοῦσαι τὸν σαφῶς ὡμολογημένον ὑπὸ τοῦ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελικοῦ κηρύγματος

8 We next insert our treatise 8 καὶ ἔστιν τὰ ἡμῖν πεπραγματευμένα ἐν ὑποκειμένοις παρατιθέμενα ἅτινά ἐστι τάδε

[HD2108] 111 Those who make it their practice to obtain accurate information about the spurious ideas of the deceiver Marcion and to distinguish the devices fabricated by his herd will not be slow to peruse this collection

11 Ὅτῳ φίλον ἐστὶ τὰς τοῦ ἀπατηλοῦ Μαρκίωνος νόθους ἐπινοίας ἀκριβοῦν καὶ τὰς ἐπιπλάστους τοῦ αὐτοῦ βοσκήματος μηχανὰς διαγινώσκειν τούτῳ τῷ συλλελεγμένῳ πονήματι ἐντυχεῖν μὴ κατοκνείτω

2 For we have devoted ourselves to arranging here those passages from his gospel which may be used in refutation of his cunning villainy so that those who desire to peruse this work may use it as an exercise in acuity with a view to refuting the strange utterances dreamed up by him 3 For although the document containing Lukes Gospel ltdoes contain the text of that gospelgt because it is mutilated and has no beginning

middle or end it is like a garment eaten by many moths 4 For at the very outset everything written by Luke at the beginning where he says Inasmuch as many have undertaken and so forth and about Elizabeth and the angel bringing the good news to the Virgin Mary about John and Zechariah and the birth in Bethlehem the genealogy and the account of the baptismmdash5 All this he removes and skips over and puts as the beginning of the gospel In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar [Luke 31] and so forth 6 This is where he begins and once again he does not preserve the continuity of the text but as I said he falsifies some things and adds others out of proper sequence not proceeding in a straight line but wandering all about carelessly The passages are as followsi [Luke 514] Go show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your purification as Moses commanded that it may be a testimony to you instead of which the Savior said a testimony to themii [524] That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earthiii [65] The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbathiv [616f] Judas Iscariot who turned traitor But instead of He came down with them he has He came down among themv [619f] And all the crowd was trying to touch him And raising his eyes and so forthvi [623] Your fathers treated the prophets in the same wayvii [79] I tell you not even in Israel have I found so much faithviii [723] He altered Blessed is he who is not scandalized in me for he look it as directed against Johnix [727] He it is about whom it was written Behold I send my messenger before you[HD2109] x [736 38] And entering the Pharisees house he reclined But the woman who was a sinner standing behind by his feet washed his feet with her tears and wiped and kissed themxi |744| Again She has washed my feet with her

downxxxix [1316] This daughter of Abraham whom Satan boundxl [1328] He also falsifies Then you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God Instead he puts When you see all the just in the kingdom of God but yourselves thrustmdashbut he puts heldmdashoutside there there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth[HD2113 ] xli [1329-35] He also falsifies They will come from the east and west and recline in the kingdom and The last will be first and The Pharisees came saying Go away from here for Herod wants to kill you and Ik-said Go tell that fox down to where he says It is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem and Jerusalem Jerusalem who kill the prophets and stone those sent and Often have I wanted to gather your children like a bird and Your house is left to you and You will not see me until you say blessed xlii [1511ff] He also falsifies the whole parable of the two sons the one who received the portion of the property and spent it in debauchery and the otherxliii [1616| The law and the prophets arc until John and everyone forces his way into the kingdomxliv [1622| About the rich man and Lazarus the poor man thai he was taken away by the angels to Abrahams bosomxlv |1625| Now he is consoled Lazarus that isxlvi [1629 31] Abraham said They have Moses and the prophets let them hear them for they will not even hear the one raised from the deadxlvii [1710] He falsifies Say We are useless slaves we have done what we were supposed to doxlviii [1712 14 427] When the ten lepers met him But he removes much of the passage and puts He sent them away saying Show yourselves to the priests And he substitutes certain words for others saying There were many lepers in the days of the prophet Elisha and none was cured [HD2114] except for Naaman the Syrian

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

(who was ninth after the apostles Peter and Paul) Meeting the elders who were still alive and and who had been instructed by the disciples of the apostles he asked to be admitted to communion but no one would allow him

4221 In posing his question to those who were then the elders he began so to speak at the very beginning and made the starting point of his inquiries the following Tell me what does this mean They do not put new wine into old skins or a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment otherwise the patch pulls away and will not fit the old material for a bigger tear will result

2 When the kindly and all-holy elders and teachers of the holy church of God heard the question they replied to him with kindness giving the reasonable and fitting explanation

3 Child the old skins represent the hearts of the Pharisees and scribes inveterate in sins and unreceptive of the preaching of the gospel

4 And the old garment is like Judas who was inveterate in avarice and did not accept the proclamation of hope in the new and holy and heavenly mystery even though he was associated with the eleven apostles and called by the Lord himself

5 He suffered a greater rupture through his own fault with no one else the cause of it because his mind was not in tune with the hope above and the heavenly calling of the future good things instead of with the things here and the pomp and the hope and pleasure in passing friendship

7 They replied We cannot do that without the permission of your revered father There is one faith and one common mind and we cannot oppose your father our good fellow minister

423 Ἔλαβε δὲ τὴν πρόφασιν παρὰ τοῦ προειρημένου Κέρδωνος γόητος καὶ ἀπατηλοῦ καὶ αὐτὸς μὲν γὰρ δύο κηρύττει ἀρχάς προςθεὶς δὲ πάλιν ἐκείνῳ φημὶ τῷ Κέρδωνι ἕτερόν τι παρ ἐκεῖνον δείκνυσι λέγων τρεῖς εἶναι ἀρχάς μίαν μὲν τὴν ἄνω ἀκατονόμαστον καὶ ἀόρατον ἣν καὶ ἀγαθὸν θεὸν βούλεται λέγειν μηδὲν δὲ τῶν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ κτίσασαν

2 ἄλλον δὲ εἶναι ὁρατὸν θεὸν καὶ κτιστὴν καὶ δημιουργόν διάβολον δὲ τρίτον ὡς εἰπεῖν καὶ μέσον τῶν δύο τούτων τοῦ τε ὁρατοῦ καὶ τοῦ ἀοράτου τὸν δὲ κτιστὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν καὶ ὁρατὸν θεὸν εἶναι τῶν Ἰουδαίων εἶναι δὲ αὐτὸν κριτήν

3 παρ αὐτῷ δὲ τῷ Μαρκίωνι καὶ παρθενία κηρύσσεται νηστείαν δὲ κατὰ τὸ σάββατον κηρύττει μυστήρια δὲ δῆθεν παρ αὐτῷ ἐπιτελεῖται τῶν κατηχουμένων ὁρώντων ὕδατι δὲ οὗτος ἐν τοῖς μυστηρίοις χρῆται

4 τὸ δὲ σάββατον νηστεύειν διὰ τοιαύτην αἰτίαν φάσκει ἐπειδή φησί τοῦ θεοῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐστὶν ἡ ἀνάπαυσις τοῦ πεποιηκότος τὸν κόσμον καὶ ἐν τῇ ἑβδόμῃ ἡμέρᾳ ἀναπαυσαμένου ἡμεῖς νηστεύσωμεν ταύτην ἵνα μὴ τὸ καθῆκον τοῦ θεοῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἐργαζώμεθα

5 τὴν τῆς σαρκὸς δὲ ἀθετεῖ ἀνάστασιν καθάπερ

many of the sects Resurrection life and salvation belong to the soul only he says

6 But he gives not just one sacred bath it is allowed by them to give up to three baths and more to those who want them as I have heard from many people

7 It came about that he allowed three or more baths to be given because of the mockery he suffered from his disciples who knew him on account of his lapse and his seduction of the virgin

8 Because he seduced the virgin in his own city fled and was detected in his great lapse the imposter thought up for himself a second bath saying that it is allowed to give up to three baths that is three baptisms to take away sins so that if one lapses after the first and repents he receives a second and a third likewise if he lapses after the second

9 In order to save himself from ridicule he offers as proof that after his fall he was once again purified and is now among the innocent a text which he argues wrongly is persuasive one which can deceive although it does not have the meaning he gives it

10 He says that the Lord who had been baptized by John used to say to his disciples I have a baptism with which to be baptized and how I wish that I had accomplished it and again I have a cup to drink and my only wish is to fill it And thus he taught the giving of several baptisms

πολλαὶ τῶν αἱρέσεων ψυχῆς δὲ ἀνάστασιν εἶναι λέγει καὶ ζωὴν καὶ σωτηρίαν μόνης

6 οὐ μόνον δὲ παρ αὐτῷ ἓν λουτρὸν δίδοται ἀλλὰ καὶ ἕως τριῶν λουτρῶν καὶ ἐπέκεινα ἔξεστι διδόναι παρ αὐτοῖς τῷ βουλομένῳ ὡς παρὰ πολλῶν ἀκήκοα

7 συμβέβηκε δὲ τοῦτο γενέσθαι αὐτῷ τὸ ἐφίεσθαι τρία ἢ καὶ πλείω λουτρὰ δίδοσθαι δι ἣν ὑπεῖχεν χλεύην παρὰ τῶν αὐτὸν ἐγνωκότων μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκ παραπτώματός τε καὶ φθορᾶς τῆς εἰς τὴν παρθένον γεγενημένης

8 ἐπειδὴ φθείρας ἐν τῇ ἑαυτοῦ πόλει τὴν παρθένον καὶ ἀποδράσας μὲν ἐν παραπτώματι μεγάλῳ εὑρέθη ἐπενόησεν ὁ ἀγύρτης ἑαυτῷ δεύτερον λουτρόν φήσας ὅτι ἔξεστιν ἕως τριῶν λουτρῶν τουτέστιν τριῶν βαπτισμῶν εἰς ἄφεσιν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν δίδοσθαι ἵν εἴ τις παρέπεσεν εἰς τὸ πρῶτον λάβῃ δεύτερον μετανοήσας καὶ τρίτον ὡσαύτως ἐὰν ἐν παραπτώματι μετὰ τὸ δεύτερον γένηται

9 φέρει δὲ δῆθεν ἵνα τὴν ἑαυτοῦ χλεύην ἀνασώσῃ εἰς παράστασιν αὐτοῦ ὅτι [τὸ] μετὰ τὸ αὐτοῦ παράπτωμα πάλιν ἐκαθαρίσθη καὶ λοιπὸν ἐν ἀθῴοις ὑπάρχει μαρτυρίαν περὶ τούτου ψευδηγορῶν ὡς πιθανήν δυναμένην ἐξαπατῆσαι οὐ τοῦτο δὲ σημαίνουσαν ὃ αὐτὸς λέγει

10 ὅτι φησί βαπτισθεὶς ὁ κύριος ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἰωάννου ἔλεγε τοῖς μαθηταῖς laquoβάπτισμα ἔχω βαπτισθῆναι καὶ τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη τετέλεκα αὐτόraquo καὶ πάλιν laquoποτήριον ἔχω πιεῖν καὶ τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη πληρώσω αὐτόraquo καὶ οὕτω τὸ διδόναι πλείω βαπτίσματα ἐδογμάτισεν

4241 Not only that but he also rejects the law and all the prophets saying that such people prophesied under the influence of the archon who made the world

4241 Οὐ μόνον δὲ τοῦτο ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸν νόμον ἀποβάλλει καὶ πάντας προφήτας λέγων ἐκ τοῦ ἄρχοντος τοῦ τὸν κόσμον πεποιηκότος τοὺς τοιούτους πεπροφητευκέναι

2 He says that Christ came down from above from the invisible and unnameable Father for the salvation of souls and the refutation of the God of the Jews the law the prophets and suchlike

2 Χριστὸν δὲ λέγει ἄνωθεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀοράτου καὶ ἀκατονομάστου πατρὸς καταβεβηκέναι ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ τῶν ψυχῶν καὶ ἐπὶ ἐλέγχῳ τοῦ θεοῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ νόμου καὶ προφητῶν καὶ τῶν τοιούτων

3 The Lord descended to the netherworld to save those associated with Cain Korah Dathan and Abiram as well as Esau and all the nations who did not know the God of the Jews

3 καὶ ἄχρι Ἅιδου καταβεβηκέναι τὸν κύριον ἵνα σώσῃ τοὺς περὶ Κάϊν καὶ Κορὲ καὶ Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβειρών Ἠσαῦ τε καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ μὴ ἐγνωκότα τὸν θεὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων

4 But those associated with Abel Enoch Noah Abraham Isaac Jacob and Moses David and Solomon he left there because he says they knew the God of the Jews who is maker and creator and did what he commanded and did not dedicate themselves to the invisible God

4 τοὺς δὲ περὶ Ἄβελ καὶ Ἐνὼχ καὶ Νῶε καὶ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ Μωυσέα Δαυίδ τε καὶ Σολομῶντα ἐκεῖ καταλελοιπέναι διότι ἐπέγνωσαν φησί τὸν θεὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὄντα ποιητὴν καὶ κτιστήν καὶ τὰ καθήκοντα αὐτοῦ πεποιήκασι καὶ οὐχὶ τῷ θεῷ τῷ ἀοράτῳ ἑαυτοὺς προσανέθεντο

5 He also allows women to baptize For with them all is ridicule and nothing else since they dare even to celebrate the sacraments in the sight of catechumens

5 δίδωσι καὶ ἐπιτροπὴν γυναιξὶ βάπτισμα διδόναι παρ αὐτοῖς γὰρ πάντα χλεύης ἔμπλεα καὶ οὐδὲν ἕτερον ὁπότε καὶ τὰ μυστήρια ἐνώπιον κατηχουμένων ἐπιτελεῖν τολμῶσιν

6 He says also as I mentioned that resurrection is not of bodies but of souls and he restricts salvation to them he does not allow it for the bodies And he talks likewise about transmigrations of souls and reincarnations from bodies to bodies

6 ἀνάστασιν δὲ ὡς εἶπον οὗτος λέγει οὐχὶ σωμάτων ἀλλὰ ψυχῶν καὶ σωτηρίαν ταύταις ὁρίζεται οὐχὶ τοῖς σώμασιν καὶ μεταγγισμοὺς ὁμοίως τῶν ψυχῶν καὶ μετενσωματώσεις ἀπὸ σωμάτων εἰς σώματα φάσκει

425 Πανταχόθεν δὲ πίπτει ἡ αὐτοῦ ματαία κενοφωνία ὡς ἤδη μοι ἐν ἄλλαις αἱρέσεσι πεπραγμάτευται πῶς γὰρ ἀναστήσεται ἡ μὴ πεπτωκυῖα ψυχή ἀνάστασις δὲ πῶς αὐτῆς κληθήσεται τῆς μὴ πεσούσης ψυχῆς πᾶν γὰρ τὸ πῖπτον ἀναστάσεως δεῖται πίπτει δὲ οὐχὶ ψυχή ἀλλὰ σῶμα ὅθεν καὶ δικαίως πτῶμα αὐτὸ ἡ συνήθεια εἴωθεν καλεῖν καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ κύριος εἰπὼν ὅτι laquoὅπου τὸ πτῶμα ἐκεῖ συναχθήσονται οἱ ἀετοίraquo καὶ γὰρ ἐν τοῖς μνήμασιν οὐ κατακλείομεν ψυχάς ἀλλὰ σώματα κατατιθέαμεν ἐν γῇ καταχώσαντες ὧν ἡ ἀνάστασις εἰς ἐλπίδα ἔχει τὸ κήρυγμα καθάπερ ὁ τοῦ σίτου κόκκος ὡς καὶ ὁ ἅγιος ἀπόστολος τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἤνεγκεν περὶ τοῦ κόκκου τοῦ σίτου καὶ τῶν ἄλλων σπερμάτων καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ κύριος ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ ὅτι laquoἐὰν μὴ πεσὼν ὁ κόκκος τοῦ σίτου ἀποθάνῃ μόνος μένειraquo ὁ δὲ ἅγιος ἀπόστολός φησιν laquoἄφρωνraquo (ἄφρονα γὰρ καλεῖ τὸν ἄπιστον τὸν ὅλως ἀμφιβάλλοντα καὶ λέγοντα laquoπῶς ἡ ἀνάστασις γίνεται ποίῳ δὲ σώματι ἔρχονταιraquo καὶ εὐθὺς πρὸς τοὺς τοιούτους φησίν) laquoἄφρων σὺ ὃ σπείρεις οὐ ζωογονεῖται ἐὰν μὴ ἀποθάνῃraquo καὶ ἔδειξεν ἐξ ἅπαντος ἡ γραφὴ τοῦ πεπτωκότος κόκκου τουτέστιν τοῦ σώματος τοῦ θαπτομένου καὶ οὐ ψυχῆς τὴν ἀνάστασιν γίνεσθαι πῶς δὲ ψυχὴ ἐλεύσεται μόνη πῶς δὲ βασιλεύσει μόνη ἡ ὁμοῦ σὺν σώματι ἐργασαμένη

τὸ δίκαιον ἢ τὸ φαῦλον ἔσται γὰρ ἐναντία καὶ οὐ δικαία ἡ κρίσις

4261 How will Marcions theory of the three principles hold together How will the one be found to be good who performs a work of salvation or of something else in the region of the one who is evil

4261 Πῶς δὲ συσταθήσεται ὁ παρ αὐτῷ τῷ Μαρκίωνι τριῶν ἀρχῶν λόγος πῶς δὲ [ὁ] ἀγαθὸς εὑρεθήσεται ltὁgt ἐν τοῖς τοῦ φαύλου μέρεσιν ἔργον ἐπιτελῶν ἢ σωτηρίας ἢ τῶν ἄλλων

2 For if the world is not his but he sent his only begotten into the world to take out of the world which is not his what he neither sowed nor made he will be found to be one who goes after what is not his or who suffers from poverty and has no possessions of his own but gives himself over to what belongs to another in order to provide for himself what he did not have before

2 εἰ γὰρ οὐκ αὐτοῦ τυγχάνει ὁ κόσμος ἀπέστειλεν δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ εἰς τὸν κόσμον λαβεῖν ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τοῦ ἀλλοτρίου ἃ μὴ αὐτὸς ἔσπειρεν μηδὲ ἐποίησεν εὑρεθήσεται ἢ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων ἐφιέμενος ἢ πενίαν ὑφιστάμενος καὶ ἴδια μὴ ἔχων ἐπὶ τὰ ἀλλότρια ἑαυτὸν ἐπιδιδούς ὅπως ἑαυτῷ προσπορίσηται ἃ μὴ πρότερον ἔχει

3 But how will the demiurge be a judge between the other two And whom can he judge For if he sits in judgment over the possessions of the one above he is more powerful than the one above since he brings into his court what belongs to the one above as Marcion teaches

3 πῶς δὲ κριτὴς ἀνὰ μέσον ἀμφοτέρων γενήσεται ὁ δημιουργός εἶτα τίνας ἔχει κρῖναι εἰ γὰρ τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἄνω σκευῶν δικαστὴς προκαθέζεται ἰσχύει ὑπὲρ τὸν ἄνω ἐπειδὴ φέρει εἰς μέσον τῶν αὐτοῦ κριτηρίων τὰ τοῦ ἄνω ὑπάρχοντα ὡς τῷ Μαρκίωνι ἔδοξε

4 And if he is really a judge he is just Now we will show from the word just that good and just mean the same

4 καὶ εἰ ὅλως κριτὴς τυγχάνει δίκαιός ἐστι δείξομεν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ δικαίου ὀνόματος ὅτι ταὐτόν ἐστι τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ τὸ δίκαιον

5 For whatever is just is also good For it is from being good that he grants with justice and truth what is good to the one who has done good and he will no longer be opposed to the one who is good in respect to what is good since he furnishes in justice what is good to the one who is good and the rebuke of punishment to the one who is wicked

5 πᾶν γὰρ ὃ δίκαιόν ἐστι τοῦτο καὶ ἀγαθόν ἀπὸ γὰρ τοῦ ἀγαθὸν εἶναι τὸ ἀγαθὸν χαρίζεται δικαίως μετὰ ἀληθείας τῷ ἀγαθὰ δράσαντι καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται πρὸς τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐναντίος τῷ ἀγαθῷ κατὰ δικαιοσύνην τὸ ἀγαθὸν τῷ ἀγαθῷ παρέχων καὶ τῷ φαύλῳ τὴν ἐπιτιμίαν τῆς τιμωρίας

6 Nor further will he be good who renders the good reward at the end to the one who is wicked and does not repent even if for the present he causes his sun to rise on the good and the bad and furnishes his moisture to both evil and good people because of their present freedom of will

6 οὐδὲ πάλιν ἀγαθὸς ἂν εἴη ὁ τῷ πονηρῷ τὸν ἀγαθὸν μισθὸν ἐπὶ τῷ τέλει ἀποδιδοὺς μὴ μετανοοῦντι εἰ καὶ ἐν τῷ παρόντι ἀνατέλλοι αὐτοῦ τὸν ἥλιον ἐπὶ ἀγαθοὺς καὶ φαύλους καὶ τὸν ὑετὸν αὐτοῦ παρέχοι διὰ τὸ νῦν αὐτεξούσιον τοῖς τε πονηροῖς καὶ ἀγαθοῖς ἀνθρώποις

7 For that nature cannot be good and just which belongs to the one who furnishes to the one who is evil the reward of salvation in the future age and does not rather hate what is wicked and evil

7 ἀγαθὴ γὰρ οὐκέτι ἔσται φύσις καὶ δικαία τοῦ τῷ πονηρῷ μισθὸν ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι αἰῶνι σωτηρίας παρέχοντος καὶ οὐ μᾶλλον μισοῦντος τὸ πονηρὸν καὶ φαῦλον

8 Now their third evil god if he has the power to do evil and to prevail against those in the world whether they are of those that are good from above or belong to the just one who is

8 ὁ δὲ τρίτος εὑρισκόμενος παρ αὐτῷ πονηρός εἰ ἔχει τὴν ἐξουσίαν τὰ πονηρὰ ἐργάζεσθαι καὶ κατισχύειν τῶν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἢ τῶν ἄνωθεν ἀγαθῶν ἢ τοῦ μέσου δικαίου εὑρεθήσεται

intermediate will turn out to be mightier than the two gods of whom Marcion speaks since he has the power to seize what is not his

ἰσχυρότερος οὗτος τῶν δύο θεῶν τῶν παρὰ Μαρκίωνι λεγομένων ἐπειδὴ ἐξουσιάζει ἁρπάζειν τὰ ἀλλότρια

9 And the other two will stand finally condemned as powerless in comparison with the one the one who is wicked since they cannot resist and rescue their possessions from the one who seizes them and converts them to wickedness

9 καὶ ἀδρανεῖς λοιπὸν καταψηφισθήσονται οἱ δύο παρὰ τὸν ἕνα πονηρόν οἱ μὴ δυνάμενοι ἀντέχειν καὶ ῥύεσθαι ἀπὸ τοῦ ἁρπάζοντος τὰ αὐτῶν ὄντα καὶ εἰς πονηρίαν μεταβάλλοντος

4271 Let us consider the matter in yet another way that we may bring to light the imposters empty-headed ridicule If the evil one is entirely evil but seizes those who are good from the good god and those who are just from the just god and does not seize only those who belong to himself then the evil one will turn out not to be evil since he grasps for those who are good and presses his claim to them as to those who are superior

4271 ἄλλως δὲ πάλιν νοήσωμεν ἵνα τὴν χλεύην τοῦ ἀγύρτου φωράσωμεν τῆς ματαιοφροσύνης εἰ γὰρ ὅλως ὁ πονηρὸς πονηρὸς ὑπάρχει ἁρπάζει δὲ τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ καὶ τοὺς δικαίους ἀπὸ τοῦ δικαίου ἰδίους δὲ οὐχ ἁρπάζει μόνους εὑρεθήσεται ὁ πονηρὸς οὐκέτι πονηρός τῶν ἀγαθῶν ὀρεγόμενος καὶ ἐπιδικαζόμενος ὡς βελτιόνων

2a And if as well he judges those who belong to him and exacts retribution from those who do wrong then he cannot be evil he who is judge of the evil

2a εἰ δὲ καὶ τοὺς ἰδίους κρίνει τιμωρίαν τε τοὺς ἀδικήσαντας ἀπαιτεῖ οὐκέτι πονηρὸς ἔσται ὁ πονηρῶν δικαστὴς ὑπάρχων

2b καὶ εὑρεθήσεται κατὰ πάντα τρόπον ἡ αὐτοῦ ὑπόθεσις ἑαυτὴν ἀνατρέπουσα3 Πόθεν δὲ εἰλήφασι τὸ εἶναι αἱ τρεῖς ἀρχαί πάλιν λέγε τίς δὲ ὁ ταύταις ὁρισμὸν συστησάμενος εἰ μὲν γὰρ ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ τόπῳ περιορίζεται οὐκέτι τέλεια τὰ τρία εὑρεθήσεται ὁριζόμενα ἔν τισι περιεκτικοῖς τόποις εὑρεθήσεται δὲ τὸ ἑκάστου περιεκτικὸν μεῖζον τοῦ περιεχομένου καὶ οὐκέτι τὸ περιεχόμενον θεὸς ἂν κληθείη ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον ἡ περιεκτικὴ ὁροθεσία4 εἰ δὲ καὶ εἰς ταὐτὸν ἀλλήλοις γενόμενοι ἕκαστος κατὰ δίεσιν τὸν ἴδιον ἐκληρώθη τόπον καὶ ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ ὢν τῷ ἑτέρῳ οὐκ ἐντρίβεται οὐδὲ ἐπέρχεται οὐκέτι αἱ ἀρχαὶ ἀλλήλαις ἐναντίαι οὐδέ τις αὐτῶν φαύλη εὑρεθήσεται διὰ τὸ κατὰ τὸ δίκαιον καὶ ἥσυχον καὶ εὐσταθὲς τῶν ἰδίων ἐπιμέλεσθαι καὶ μὴ περαιτέρω βαίνειν ἐπιβάλλεσθαι5 εἰ δὲ ὁ μὲν πονηρὸς ὑπὸ τοῦ ἄνω κατισχύεται καὶ βιάζεται καὶ καταπονεῖται μεμερισμένος ὢν καὶ ἐν ἰδίῳ τόπῳ ὑπάρχων οὗ τόπου τῷ ἄνω ἀγαθῷ οὐδὲν προσήκει οὐδέ τι ὑπ αὐτοῦ κέκτισται τῶν ἐνταῦθα (λέγω ἐν τῷ τοῦ πονηροῦ τόπῳ) τυραννικώτερος μᾶλλον εὑρεθήσεται ὁ ἄνω καὶ οὐκέτι ἀγαθός τὸν ἴδιον υἱὸν εἴτ οὖν

Χριστὸν ἀποστείλας ἵνα τὰ ἀλλότρια λάβῃ6 καὶ ποῦ ὁ ὅρος ὁ διορίζων τὰς τρεῖς ἀρχὰς κατὰ τὸν τοῦ ἀγύρτου τῆς ὑποθέσεως λόγον ζητηθήσεται γὰρ τέταρτός τις ἐπιεικέστατος καὶ τῶν τριῶν σοφώτερος ὁριογνώμων τε καὶ ἐπιστήμων ὃς τὰ μέτρα ἑκάστῳ διένειμέν τε καὶ τοὺς τρεῖς εἰρηνοποίησεν ἵνα μὴ στασιάσαιεν πρὸς ἀλλήλους μηδὲ εἰς τὰ ἄλλου ἄλλος ἀποστέλλοι7 καὶ οὗτος μὲν πείσας τὰς τρεῖς ἀρχὰς εὑρεθήσεται τέταρτος καὶ σοφώτερος καὶ ἐπιεικέστερος καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ἐν ἰδίῳ τόπῳ πάλιν ζητηθήσεται ἀφ οὗπερ εἰς μέσον ἦλθεν τῶν τριῶν καὶ ἑκάστῳ τὸ μέρος σοφῶς διώρισεν ἵνα μὴ ἀλλήλους ἀδικοῖεν

8 If the two principles act as citizens in the realm of the one the demiurge with the evil god ltcontinually activegt in the realm of the demiurge and the Christ of the good god resident there as well then the judge will turn out to be not only judge and demiurge but good as well since he allows the two to do as they like with his possessions Or else he will turn out to be powerless and unable to hinder the aliens who plunder his property

8 εἰ δὲ ἐν τοῖς τοῦ ἑνός λέγω δὴ τοῦ δημιουργοῦ αἱ δύο ἀρχαί εἰσιν ἐμπολιτευόμεναι ὅ τε πονηρὸς ἐν τοῖς τοῦ δημιουργοῦ dagger χώραις τε καὶ χώροις καὶ ὁ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ Χριστὸς ἐπιδημήσας οὐκέτι ἄρα κριτὴς καὶ δημιουργὸς μόνον ὁ κριτὴς εὑρεθήσεται ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀγαθός συγχωρῶν τοῖς δυσὶν εἰς τὰ ἴδια ποιεῖν ὃ βούλονται ἢ ἀδρανὴς εὑρεθήσεται καὶ μὴ ἰσχύων κωλῦσαι τῶν ἰδίων τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους ἅρπαγας

9 But if he is inferior in power then creation will turn out to be not something enduring but something that has long ago vanished since each day it is snatched away by the evil god to his own realm and by the good one to the realm above And how can creation still endure

9 εἰ δὲ καὶ ἥσσων τῇ δυνάμει ἐστίν οὐκέτι εὑρεθήσεται ἡ δημιουργία συνεστῶσα ἀλλ ἐξέλιπεν ἔκπαλαι ἀναρπαζομένη καθ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ὑπό τε τοῦ πονηροῦ εἰς τὸ ἴδιον μέρος καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ εἰς τὰ ἄνω

10 If you say that it will cease in time to exist and that through the care exercised by the good god it can cease to exist completely then will not the good god lie responsible for the damage done as he did not do long ago what he later deemed it good to accomplish nor for that matter do it from the outset before the majority were injured came to be detained by the judge and remained below

10 καὶ πῶς ἔτι ἡ δημιουργία σταθήσεται εἰ δὲ ὅτι χρόνῳ λήξει λέγεις καὶ δυνατὸν ταύτην ὅλως λήγειν διὰ τῆς τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ἐπιμελείας οὐκοῦν ὁ ἀγαθὸς αἴτιος τῆς βλάβης ἔσται ὁ μὴ πάλαι ποιήσας ὅπερ ὕστερον ἀγαθὸν ἔδοξεν ἐπιτελεῖν μήτε μὴν πεποιηκὼς ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνέκαθεν πρὶν ἢ τοὺς πλείους ἀδικηθῆναι καὶ ἐν καθέξει αὐτοὺς γενέσθαι τοῦ κριτοῦ καὶ κάτω μεμενηκέναι

4281 He also presents things from sacred scripture which he does not understand aright deceiving the simple when he twists the words of the apostle which run Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law having become a curse for us He says If we were his he would not have bought what was his

4281 Πάλιν δὲ τὰ τῆς θείας γραφῆς οὐκ ὀρθῶς νοῶν προφέρει καὶ τοὺς ἀκεραίους ἐξαπατᾷ διαστρέφων τὸ τοῦ ἀποστόλου ῥητόν ὅτι laquoΧριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάραraquo καί φησιν εἰ ἦμεν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἂν τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ἠγόραζεν

2 But when he bought us he came into an alien 2 ἀγοράσας δὲ εἰς ἀλλότριον κόσμον ἦλθεν ἡμᾶς

world to redeem us who did not belong to him For we were made by another and for that reason he purchased us for his own life

ἐξαγοράσαι τοὺς οὐκ ὄντας αὐτοῦ ποίημα γὰρ ἦμεν ἑτέρου καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἡμᾶς αὐτὸς ἠγόραζεν εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ζωήν

ἀγνοεῖ δὲ ὅλως ὁ ἠλίθιος ὅτι οὔτε Χριστὸς κατάρα γεγένηται (μὴ γένοιτο) ἀλλὰ τὴν κατάραν τὴν διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν ἀφεῖλεν ἑαυτὸν σταυρώσας καὶ γενόμενος θάνατος θανάτῳ [διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν] καὶ κατάρα αὐτὸς τῇ κατάρᾳ γενόμενος διὸ οὐκ ἔστι Χριστὸς κατάρα ἀλλὰ τῆς κατάρας λύσις εὐλογία δὲ πᾶσι τοῖς εἰς αὐτὸν ἀληθῶς πεπιστευκόσιν οὕτω καὶ τὸ laquoἐξηγόρασενraquo οὐκ εἶπεν laquoἠγόρασενraquo οὔτε γὰρ εἰς ἀλλότριον ἦλθεν ἁρπάσαι ἢ ἀγοράσαι εἰ γὰρ ἠγόρασεν μὴ ἔχων ἠγόρασε καὶ ὡς πτωχὸς ἃ μὴ εἶχεν ἐκτήσατο καὶ εἰ ὁ κεκτημένος ἡμᾶς πέπρακεν ἀπορήσας πέπρακεν ἀπό τινος ἄρα δανειστοῦ ἐλαυνόμενος ἀλλ οὐκ ἔχει οὕτως οὔτε γὰρ εἶπεν laquoἠγόρασενraquo ἀλλ laquoἐξηγόρασενraquo ὅμοιον δὲ τούτῳ ὁ αὐτὸς ἅγιος ἀπόστολός φησιν laquoἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσιraquo καὶ οὐχ ἡμέρας ἀγοράζομεν οὐδὲ τιμὴν ἡμερῶν δίδομεν ἀλλὰ τὸ δι ὑπομονὴν καὶ τὸ μελλητικὸν τῆς μακροθυμίας σημαίνων τοῦτο ἔφη ὥστε τὸ ἐξηγόρασε τὴν ὑπόθεσιν ὑπέφηνεν τῆς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἀναδοχῆς ἐν κόσμῳ ἐνσάρκου παρουσίας ltδιgt ἧς ἀνεδέξατο ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν παθεῖν ὁ ἀπαθὴς ὢν θεός μένων ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ ἀπαθείᾳ τῆς αὐτοῦ θεότητος καὶ αὐτὸ ὃ ἀνεδέξατο ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν παθεῖν οὐκ ἀγοράζων ἡμᾶς ἀπ ἀλλοτρίων ἀλλὰ τὴν ὑπόθεσιν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν τοῦ σταυροῦ ἀναδεξάμενος προαιρέσει καὶ οὐ μετ ἀνάγκης ὅθεν ἐλήλεγκται κατὰ πάντα τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ὁ λόγος καὶ πολλά ἐστι τὰ πρὸς ἀνατροπὴν τῆς τούτου μηχανῆς καὶ τραγῳδίας ἐξ εὐσεβοῦς λογισμοῦ καὶ εὐλόγου ὁρμώμενα ἐμφάσεως ἐν τῇ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀντιρρήσει

4291a I will now proceed to his writings or rather to his mischief

4291a Ἐλεύσομαι δὲ εἰς τὰ ὑπ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα μᾶλλον δὲ ἐρρᾳδιουργημένα

1b He has as a gospel only Lukes with the beginning removed because of the Saviors conception and incarnation

1b οὗτος γὰρ ἔχει εὐαγγέλιον μόνον τὸ κατὰ Λουκᾶν περικεκομμένον ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς διὰ τὴν τοῦ σωτῆρος σύλληψιν καὶ τὴν ἔνσαρκον αὐτοῦ παρουσίαν

2a But he cut off not just the beginning 2a οὐ μόνον δὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἀπέτεμεν hellip2b but removed as well much of the conclusion and of the words of truth that come between and added other things to what was written But this is the only writing he accepts Lukes Gospel

2b ὁ λυμηνάμενος ἑαυτὸν ltμᾶλλονgt ἤπερ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦ τέλους καὶ τῶν μέσων πολλὰ περιέκοψε τῶν τῆς ἀληθείας λόγων ἄλλα δὲ παρὰ τὰ γεγραμμένα προστέθεικεν μόνῳ δὲ

κέχρηται τούτῳ τῷ χαρακτῆρι τῷ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίῳ

3 He has as well ten letters of the holy apostle which are all he accepts but he does not accept everything written in them Some of their passages he removes and some he alters These are the two books he accepts but he composed other writings of his own for those whom he led astray

4 The letters mentioned by him are first to the Galatians second to the Corinthians third the second letter to the Corinthians fourth to the Romans fifth to the Thessalonians sixth the second letter to the Thessaloni-ans seventh to the Ephesians eighth to the Colossians ninth to Philemon and tenth to the Philippians He also has parts of the letter called to the Laodiceans

42101 I shall here insert the work which I composed against him before I devoted myself to this work which I undertook at your urging my brothers

4210 Παραθήσομαι δὲ καὶ ἣν ἐποιησάμην κατ αὐτοῦ πραγματείαν πρὶν τοῦ ταύτην μου τὴν σύνταξιν ἐσπουδακέναι διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν τῶν ἀδελφῶν προτροπῆς ποιήσασθαι

2 Many years ago when I was examining the deceptions and ridiculous teaching which Marcion had thought up and was reading the very books I just mentioned which lthe had mutilatedgt the one he calls a gospel and ltthe onegt he calls the letters of the apostle I picked out and listed in order the passages from the two books from which

2 ἀπὸ ἐτῶν ἱκανῶν ἀνερευνῶν τὴν τούτου τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ἐπινενοημένην ψευδηγορίαν καὶ ληρώδη διδασκαλίαν αὐτὰς δὴ τὰς τοῦ προειρημένου βίβλους ἃς dagger κέκτηται μετὰ χεῖρας λαβών τό τε παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμενον εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ltτὸgt ἀποστολικὸν καλούμενον παρ αὐτῷ ἐξανθισάμενος καὶ ἀναλεξάμενος καθ εἱρμὸν ἀπὸ

he may be refuted and made a sketch of a work in which I put the passages in sequence and listed each one as 1 2 3

τῶν προειρημένων δύο βιβλίων τὰ ἐλέγξαι αὐτὸν δυνάμενα ἐδάφιόν τι συντάξεως ἐποιησάμην ἀκολούθως τάξας κεφάλαια καὶ ἐπιγράψας ἑκάστῃ ῥήσει ltαgt ltβgt ltγgt

3 And in this way I went through to the end listing the places where the wretch even yet in the passages which remain preserves words of the Savior and of the apostle which speak against him

3 καὶ οὕτως ἕως τέλους διεξῆλθον ἐν οἷς φαίνεται ἠλιθίως καθ ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι ταύτας τὰς παραμεινάσας τοῦ τε σωτῆρος καὶ τοῦ ἀποστόλου λέξεις φυλάττων

4 For some of them he in his villainy alters to a form different from the text of Lukes Gospel and the wording of the letters of the apostle

4 αἱ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν παρηλλαγμένως ὑπ αὐτοῦ ἐρρᾳδιουργήθησαν καὶ ὡς οὐκ εἶχεν τοῦ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀντίγραφον οὔτε ἡ τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ χαρακτῆρος ἔμφασις

5 Others are just as they appear in the gospel and in the apostle not altered by him but suitable to refute him ones in which ltthegt Old Testament is shown to be in harmony with the New and the New with the Old

5 ἄλλα δὲ φύσει ὡς ἔχει καὶ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ὁ ἀπόστολος μὴ ἀλλαγέντα ὑπ αὐτοῦ δυνάμενα δὲ αὐτὸν διελέγχειν δι ὧν δείκνυται ltἡgt παλαιὰ διαθήκη συμφωνοῦσα πρὸς τὴν νέαν καὶ ἡ καινὴ πρὸς τὴν παλαιὰν διαθήκην

6 Still other passages from the books show that Christ came in the flesh and became a complete human being among us

6 ἄλλαι δὲ πάλιν λέξεις τῶν αὐτῶν βιβλίων ὑποφαίνουσαι Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθέναι καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν τελείως ἐνηνθρωπηκέναι

7 Others again acknowledge the resurrection of the dead and God the one almighty Lord of all himself maker of heaven and earth and all that comes to be on the earth and neither falsify the calling of the gospel nor deny the maker and creator of all but point to him who is clearly acknowledged by the apostolic writing and the gospel message

7 ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλαι πάλιν ὁμολογοῦσαι τὴν τῶν νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν καὶ τὸν θεὸν ἕνα ὄντα κύριον πάντων παντοκράτορα αὐτὸν ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς γενομένων καὶ οὔτε παραχαράσσουσαι τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τὴν κλῆσιν οὔτε μὴν ἀρνούμεναι τὸν ποιητὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν τῶν πάντων ἀλλὰ δηλοῦσαι τὸν σαφῶς ὡμολογημένον ὑπὸ τοῦ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελικοῦ κηρύγματος

8 We next insert our treatise 8 καὶ ἔστιν τὰ ἡμῖν πεπραγματευμένα ἐν ὑποκειμένοις παρατιθέμενα ἅτινά ἐστι τάδε

[HD2108] 111 Those who make it their practice to obtain accurate information about the spurious ideas of the deceiver Marcion and to distinguish the devices fabricated by his herd will not be slow to peruse this collection

11 Ὅτῳ φίλον ἐστὶ τὰς τοῦ ἀπατηλοῦ Μαρκίωνος νόθους ἐπινοίας ἀκριβοῦν καὶ τὰς ἐπιπλάστους τοῦ αὐτοῦ βοσκήματος μηχανὰς διαγινώσκειν τούτῳ τῷ συλλελεγμένῳ πονήματι ἐντυχεῖν μὴ κατοκνείτω

2 For we have devoted ourselves to arranging here those passages from his gospel which may be used in refutation of his cunning villainy so that those who desire to peruse this work may use it as an exercise in acuity with a view to refuting the strange utterances dreamed up by him 3 For although the document containing Lukes Gospel ltdoes contain the text of that gospelgt because it is mutilated and has no beginning

middle or end it is like a garment eaten by many moths 4 For at the very outset everything written by Luke at the beginning where he says Inasmuch as many have undertaken and so forth and about Elizabeth and the angel bringing the good news to the Virgin Mary about John and Zechariah and the birth in Bethlehem the genealogy and the account of the baptismmdash5 All this he removes and skips over and puts as the beginning of the gospel In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar [Luke 31] and so forth 6 This is where he begins and once again he does not preserve the continuity of the text but as I said he falsifies some things and adds others out of proper sequence not proceeding in a straight line but wandering all about carelessly The passages are as followsi [Luke 514] Go show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your purification as Moses commanded that it may be a testimony to you instead of which the Savior said a testimony to themii [524] That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earthiii [65] The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbathiv [616f] Judas Iscariot who turned traitor But instead of He came down with them he has He came down among themv [619f] And all the crowd was trying to touch him And raising his eyes and so forthvi [623] Your fathers treated the prophets in the same wayvii [79] I tell you not even in Israel have I found so much faithviii [723] He altered Blessed is he who is not scandalized in me for he look it as directed against Johnix [727] He it is about whom it was written Behold I send my messenger before you[HD2109] x [736 38] And entering the Pharisees house he reclined But the woman who was a sinner standing behind by his feet washed his feet with her tears and wiped and kissed themxi |744| Again She has washed my feet with her

given to it But he does not have the part about Nineveh the queen of the South and Solomonxxvi [1142] Instead of You disregard the judgment of God he has You disregard the call of God [κλησιν ldquocallrdquo instead of κρισιν ldquojudgementrdquo][HD2111] xxvii [1147] Woe to you for you build the tombs of the prophets and your fathers killed themxxviii [ll49ff] He does not have For this reason the Wisdom of God said I am sending them prophets or the part about the blood of ccha riah and Abel and the prophets that it will IK- required of (his generationxxix [124ff| I say to my friends do not (ear those who kill the body fear the one who after killing has power to cast into Gehenna He does not have Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies And not one of them is forgotten in Gods sightxxx [128] Instead of he will acknowledge in the presence of Gods angels he says in the presence of Godxxxi [1228] He does not have God clothes the grassxxxii [1230] Your Father knows that you need these things these things of the flesh noticexxxiii [1231] But seek the kingdom of God and all these things will be given you besidesxxxiv [1232] Instead of your Father he has the Father[HD2112 ] xxxv [1238] Instead of in the second or third watch he has in the evening watchxxxvi [1246] The master of that slave will arrive and cut him up and place his portion with the unbelieversxxxvii [1258] Lest he drag you off to the judge and the judge hand you over to the officerxxxviii [131-9] He falsifies the part from where it says Some people came and told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices down to where he speaks of the eighteen people in Siloam who died in the tower as well as the words unless you repent and ltwhat followsgt down to the parable of the fig tree about which the vinedresser said I will dig and lay down manure and if it does not bear fruit cut it

downxxxix [1316] This daughter of Abraham whom Satan boundxl [1328] He also falsifies Then you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God Instead he puts When you see all the just in the kingdom of God but yourselves thrustmdashbut he puts heldmdashoutside there there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth[HD2113 ] xli [1329-35] He also falsifies They will come from the east and west and recline in the kingdom and The last will be first and The Pharisees came saying Go away from here for Herod wants to kill you and Ik-said Go tell that fox down to where he says It is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem and Jerusalem Jerusalem who kill the prophets and stone those sent and Often have I wanted to gather your children like a bird and Your house is left to you and You will not see me until you say blessed xlii [1511ff] He also falsifies the whole parable of the two sons the one who received the portion of the property and spent it in debauchery and the otherxliii [1616| The law and the prophets arc until John and everyone forces his way into the kingdomxliv [1622| About the rich man and Lazarus the poor man thai he was taken away by the angels to Abrahams bosomxlv |1625| Now he is consoled Lazarus that isxlvi [1629 31] Abraham said They have Moses and the prophets let them hear them for they will not even hear the one raised from the deadxlvii [1710] He falsifies Say We are useless slaves we have done what we were supposed to doxlviii [1712 14 427] When the ten lepers met him But he removes much of the passage and puts He sent them away saying Show yourselves to the priests And he substitutes certain words for others saying There were many lepers in the days of the prophet Elisha and none was cured [HD2114] except for Naaman the Syrian

xlix [1722] Days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Manl [1818ff] Someone said to him Good master what must I do to inherit eternal life But he said Do not call me good There is one who is good and that is God He adds the Father and instead of you know the commandments he says I know the commandmentsli [1835 38 42] It-happened that as he was approaching Jericho a blind man called out Jesus son of David have pity on me And when he was cured he said Your faith has saved you lii [1831-33] he falsifies Taking aside the Twelve he said Behold we are going up to Jerusalem and all that is written in the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished For he will be handed over and killed and on the third day rise All this he falsifies[HD2115] liii [1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house will be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of robbersliv [2019] And they sought to lay hands on him and they were afraidIv [209ff 17] He also removes what is said about the vineyard given over to vinedressers and the words What is the meaning of the stone which the builders rejected Ivi [2037f] He removes But that the dead are raised Moses shows at the bush when he speaks of the Lord the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob He is God of the living and of the deadIvii [2037f] He does not have But that the dead are raised Moses as well shows when he speaks of the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob the God of the livingIviii [2118] He also falsifies not a hair of your head will perishlix [2121f] He also falsifies then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains and so forth because of the words that follow until at that is written is fulfilledIx [224] He spoke with the officers about how he could betray him to themIxi [228] And he said to Peter and the rest Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover

Ixii [2214f| And he reclined and the twelve apostles were with him and he said Greatly have I desired to eat this Passover with you before I sufferIxiii [2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God[HD2116] Ixiv [2235 37] He falsifies When I sent you out did you lack anything and so forth because of the words This as well which is written must be accomplished And he was reckoned with the lawless Ixv [2241] He withdrew from them about a stones throw knelt down and prayedIxvi [2247f] And Judas approached to kiss him and saidIxvii [2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priests servantIxviii [2263f] Those who were guarding him made fun of him beating and striking him and saying Prophesy who it was that struck you Ixix [232] After We found this man stirring up the people he adds and doing away with the law and the prophetsIxx [232] After forbidding taxes to be paid he adds and turning away the women and the childrenIxxi [2333f 44] And coming to a place called Place of the Skull they crucified him and divided up his clothing and the sun was darkenedIxxii [2343] He falsifies Today you will be with me in ParadiseIxxiii [2346] And giving a loud cry he expiredIxxiv [2350 53] And behold a man named Joseph took down the body wrapped it in a sheet and placed it in a tomb cut in stoneIxxv [2356] And the women returned and reposed on the Sabbath according to the law[HD2117] Ixxvi [245-7] Those in bright clothes said Why are you looking for the living with the dead He had been raised remember what he said while he was still with you that the Son of Man must suffer and be handed over Ixxvii [2425 31] He falsifies what was said to Cleopas and the other when he met them O senseless and slow to believe all that the prophets

spoke Was it not necessary to suffer these things And instead of what the prophets spoke he puts what I spoke to you But he is refuted by When he broke the bread their eyes were opened and they recognized himIxxviii [24381| Why are you disturbed See my hands and my feet because a spirit does not have bones as you see I have7 We have also in opposition to the heresiarch included in this work of ours against him those ltremnants of the truthgt of which we have found him in possession as well in his arbitrary version of the letters of the apostle Paul not of all of them but of some (the names of which are listed by us at the very end of the treatise as they are contained in his collection of Pauls letters) 8 these letters as well having been mutilated in accordance with his usual mischief ltThese remnants are still preserved in them gt just as remnants of the true gospel ltmay be foundgt in the so-called gospel cited above if truth be told even though he has falsified everything quite [HD2118] ruthlesslyFrom the Letter to the Romans fourth in his list but first among Pauls lettersi (xxviii) [The numbers in parentheses refer to the sequence within Marcions collection of Paulrsquos letters] [Rom 212f] Those who have sinned apart from the law will perish apart from the law and those who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law For it is not those who hear the law who are just in Gods sight but those who keep the law who will be justifiedii (xxvix) [225] For circumcision is of benefit if you keep the law But if you transgress the law your circumcision has become uncircumcisioniii (xxx) [220] Having the very shape of knowledge and truth in the lawiv (xxxi) [56] For while we were still powerless at that very time Christ died for the impiousv (xxxii) [712] So that the law is holy and the commandment holy and just and goodvi (xxxiii) [84] That the precept of the law may be fulfilled in usvii (xxxiv) [104] For the end of the law is Christ for the justice of everyone who believesviii (xxxv) [138] He who loves his neighbor has

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

[2183]hellip 141 Ἔτι δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπεμνήσθημεν ὡς τινὲς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν Μαρκιωνιστῶν εἰς βυθὸν βλασφημίας παραπεπτωκότες

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

9 φέρει δὲ δῆθεν ἵνα τὴν ἑαυτοῦ χλεύην ἀνασώσῃ εἰς παράστασιν αὐτοῦ ὅτι [τὸ] μετὰ τὸ αὐτοῦ παράπτωμα πάλιν ἐκαθαρίσθη καὶ λοιπὸν ἐν ἀθῴοις ὑπάρχει μαρτυρίαν περὶ τούτου ψευδηγορῶν ὡς πιθανήν δυναμένην ἐξαπατῆσαι οὐ τοῦτο δὲ σημαίνουσαν ὃ αὐτὸς λέγει

10 ὅτι φησί βαπτισθεὶς ὁ κύριος ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἰωάννου ἔλεγε τοῖς μαθηταῖς laquoβάπτισμα ἔχω βαπτισθῆναι καὶ τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη τετέλεκα αὐτόraquo καὶ πάλιν laquoποτήριον ἔχω πιεῖν καὶ τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη πληρώσω αὐτόraquo καὶ οὕτω τὸ διδόναι πλείω βαπτίσματα ἐδογμάτισεν

4241 Not only that but he also rejects the law and all the prophets saying that such people prophesied under the influence of the archon who made the world

4241 Οὐ μόνον δὲ τοῦτο ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸν νόμον ἀποβάλλει καὶ πάντας προφήτας λέγων ἐκ τοῦ ἄρχοντος τοῦ τὸν κόσμον πεποιηκότος τοὺς τοιούτους πεπροφητευκέναι

2 He says that Christ came down from above from the invisible and unnameable Father for the salvation of souls and the refutation of the God of the Jews the law the prophets and suchlike

2 Χριστὸν δὲ λέγει ἄνωθεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀοράτου καὶ ἀκατονομάστου πατρὸς καταβεβηκέναι ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ τῶν ψυχῶν καὶ ἐπὶ ἐλέγχῳ τοῦ θεοῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ νόμου καὶ προφητῶν καὶ τῶν τοιούτων

3 The Lord descended to the netherworld to save those associated with Cain Korah Dathan and Abiram as well as Esau and all the nations who did not know the God of the Jews

3 καὶ ἄχρι Ἅιδου καταβεβηκέναι τὸν κύριον ἵνα σώσῃ τοὺς περὶ Κάϊν καὶ Κορὲ καὶ Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβειρών Ἠσαῦ τε καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ μὴ ἐγνωκότα τὸν θεὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων

4 But those associated with Abel Enoch Noah Abraham Isaac Jacob and Moses David and Solomon he left there because he says they knew the God of the Jews who is maker and creator and did what he commanded and did not dedicate themselves to the invisible God

4 τοὺς δὲ περὶ Ἄβελ καὶ Ἐνὼχ καὶ Νῶε καὶ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ Μωυσέα Δαυίδ τε καὶ Σολομῶντα ἐκεῖ καταλελοιπέναι διότι ἐπέγνωσαν φησί τὸν θεὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὄντα ποιητὴν καὶ κτιστήν καὶ τὰ καθήκοντα αὐτοῦ πεποιήκασι καὶ οὐχὶ τῷ θεῷ τῷ ἀοράτῳ ἑαυτοὺς προσανέθεντο

5 He also allows women to baptize For with them all is ridicule and nothing else since they dare even to celebrate the sacraments in the sight of catechumens

5 δίδωσι καὶ ἐπιτροπὴν γυναιξὶ βάπτισμα διδόναι παρ αὐτοῖς γὰρ πάντα χλεύης ἔμπλεα καὶ οὐδὲν ἕτερον ὁπότε καὶ τὰ μυστήρια ἐνώπιον κατηχουμένων ἐπιτελεῖν τολμῶσιν

6 He says also as I mentioned that resurrection is not of bodies but of souls and he restricts salvation to them he does not allow it for the bodies And he talks likewise about transmigrations of souls and reincarnations from bodies to bodies

6 ἀνάστασιν δὲ ὡς εἶπον οὗτος λέγει οὐχὶ σωμάτων ἀλλὰ ψυχῶν καὶ σωτηρίαν ταύταις ὁρίζεται οὐχὶ τοῖς σώμασιν καὶ μεταγγισμοὺς ὁμοίως τῶν ψυχῶν καὶ μετενσωματώσεις ἀπὸ σωμάτων εἰς σώματα φάσκει

425 Πανταχόθεν δὲ πίπτει ἡ αὐτοῦ ματαία κενοφωνία ὡς ἤδη μοι ἐν ἄλλαις αἱρέσεσι πεπραγμάτευται πῶς γὰρ ἀναστήσεται ἡ μὴ πεπτωκυῖα ψυχή ἀνάστασις δὲ πῶς αὐτῆς κληθήσεται τῆς μὴ πεσούσης ψυχῆς πᾶν γὰρ τὸ πῖπτον ἀναστάσεως δεῖται πίπτει δὲ οὐχὶ ψυχή ἀλλὰ σῶμα ὅθεν καὶ δικαίως πτῶμα αὐτὸ ἡ συνήθεια εἴωθεν καλεῖν καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ κύριος εἰπὼν ὅτι laquoὅπου τὸ πτῶμα ἐκεῖ συναχθήσονται οἱ ἀετοίraquo καὶ γὰρ ἐν τοῖς μνήμασιν οὐ κατακλείομεν ψυχάς ἀλλὰ σώματα κατατιθέαμεν ἐν γῇ καταχώσαντες ὧν ἡ ἀνάστασις εἰς ἐλπίδα ἔχει τὸ κήρυγμα καθάπερ ὁ τοῦ σίτου κόκκος ὡς καὶ ὁ ἅγιος ἀπόστολος τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἤνεγκεν περὶ τοῦ κόκκου τοῦ σίτου καὶ τῶν ἄλλων σπερμάτων καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ κύριος ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ ὅτι laquoἐὰν μὴ πεσὼν ὁ κόκκος τοῦ σίτου ἀποθάνῃ μόνος μένειraquo ὁ δὲ ἅγιος ἀπόστολός φησιν laquoἄφρωνraquo (ἄφρονα γὰρ καλεῖ τὸν ἄπιστον τὸν ὅλως ἀμφιβάλλοντα καὶ λέγοντα laquoπῶς ἡ ἀνάστασις γίνεται ποίῳ δὲ σώματι ἔρχονταιraquo καὶ εὐθὺς πρὸς τοὺς τοιούτους φησίν) laquoἄφρων σὺ ὃ σπείρεις οὐ ζωογονεῖται ἐὰν μὴ ἀποθάνῃraquo καὶ ἔδειξεν ἐξ ἅπαντος ἡ γραφὴ τοῦ πεπτωκότος κόκκου τουτέστιν τοῦ σώματος τοῦ θαπτομένου καὶ οὐ ψυχῆς τὴν ἀνάστασιν γίνεσθαι πῶς δὲ ψυχὴ ἐλεύσεται μόνη πῶς δὲ βασιλεύσει μόνη ἡ ὁμοῦ σὺν σώματι ἐργασαμένη

τὸ δίκαιον ἢ τὸ φαῦλον ἔσται γὰρ ἐναντία καὶ οὐ δικαία ἡ κρίσις

4261 How will Marcions theory of the three principles hold together How will the one be found to be good who performs a work of salvation or of something else in the region of the one who is evil

4261 Πῶς δὲ συσταθήσεται ὁ παρ αὐτῷ τῷ Μαρκίωνι τριῶν ἀρχῶν λόγος πῶς δὲ [ὁ] ἀγαθὸς εὑρεθήσεται ltὁgt ἐν τοῖς τοῦ φαύλου μέρεσιν ἔργον ἐπιτελῶν ἢ σωτηρίας ἢ τῶν ἄλλων

2 For if the world is not his but he sent his only begotten into the world to take out of the world which is not his what he neither sowed nor made he will be found to be one who goes after what is not his or who suffers from poverty and has no possessions of his own but gives himself over to what belongs to another in order to provide for himself what he did not have before

2 εἰ γὰρ οὐκ αὐτοῦ τυγχάνει ὁ κόσμος ἀπέστειλεν δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ εἰς τὸν κόσμον λαβεῖν ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τοῦ ἀλλοτρίου ἃ μὴ αὐτὸς ἔσπειρεν μηδὲ ἐποίησεν εὑρεθήσεται ἢ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων ἐφιέμενος ἢ πενίαν ὑφιστάμενος καὶ ἴδια μὴ ἔχων ἐπὶ τὰ ἀλλότρια ἑαυτὸν ἐπιδιδούς ὅπως ἑαυτῷ προσπορίσηται ἃ μὴ πρότερον ἔχει

3 But how will the demiurge be a judge between the other two And whom can he judge For if he sits in judgment over the possessions of the one above he is more powerful than the one above since he brings into his court what belongs to the one above as Marcion teaches

3 πῶς δὲ κριτὴς ἀνὰ μέσον ἀμφοτέρων γενήσεται ὁ δημιουργός εἶτα τίνας ἔχει κρῖναι εἰ γὰρ τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἄνω σκευῶν δικαστὴς προκαθέζεται ἰσχύει ὑπὲρ τὸν ἄνω ἐπειδὴ φέρει εἰς μέσον τῶν αὐτοῦ κριτηρίων τὰ τοῦ ἄνω ὑπάρχοντα ὡς τῷ Μαρκίωνι ἔδοξε

4 And if he is really a judge he is just Now we will show from the word just that good and just mean the same

4 καὶ εἰ ὅλως κριτὴς τυγχάνει δίκαιός ἐστι δείξομεν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ δικαίου ὀνόματος ὅτι ταὐτόν ἐστι τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ τὸ δίκαιον

5 For whatever is just is also good For it is from being good that he grants with justice and truth what is good to the one who has done good and he will no longer be opposed to the one who is good in respect to what is good since he furnishes in justice what is good to the one who is good and the rebuke of punishment to the one who is wicked

5 πᾶν γὰρ ὃ δίκαιόν ἐστι τοῦτο καὶ ἀγαθόν ἀπὸ γὰρ τοῦ ἀγαθὸν εἶναι τὸ ἀγαθὸν χαρίζεται δικαίως μετὰ ἀληθείας τῷ ἀγαθὰ δράσαντι καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται πρὸς τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐναντίος τῷ ἀγαθῷ κατὰ δικαιοσύνην τὸ ἀγαθὸν τῷ ἀγαθῷ παρέχων καὶ τῷ φαύλῳ τὴν ἐπιτιμίαν τῆς τιμωρίας

6 Nor further will he be good who renders the good reward at the end to the one who is wicked and does not repent even if for the present he causes his sun to rise on the good and the bad and furnishes his moisture to both evil and good people because of their present freedom of will

6 οὐδὲ πάλιν ἀγαθὸς ἂν εἴη ὁ τῷ πονηρῷ τὸν ἀγαθὸν μισθὸν ἐπὶ τῷ τέλει ἀποδιδοὺς μὴ μετανοοῦντι εἰ καὶ ἐν τῷ παρόντι ἀνατέλλοι αὐτοῦ τὸν ἥλιον ἐπὶ ἀγαθοὺς καὶ φαύλους καὶ τὸν ὑετὸν αὐτοῦ παρέχοι διὰ τὸ νῦν αὐτεξούσιον τοῖς τε πονηροῖς καὶ ἀγαθοῖς ἀνθρώποις

7 For that nature cannot be good and just which belongs to the one who furnishes to the one who is evil the reward of salvation in the future age and does not rather hate what is wicked and evil

7 ἀγαθὴ γὰρ οὐκέτι ἔσται φύσις καὶ δικαία τοῦ τῷ πονηρῷ μισθὸν ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι αἰῶνι σωτηρίας παρέχοντος καὶ οὐ μᾶλλον μισοῦντος τὸ πονηρὸν καὶ φαῦλον

8 Now their third evil god if he has the power to do evil and to prevail against those in the world whether they are of those that are good from above or belong to the just one who is

8 ὁ δὲ τρίτος εὑρισκόμενος παρ αὐτῷ πονηρός εἰ ἔχει τὴν ἐξουσίαν τὰ πονηρὰ ἐργάζεσθαι καὶ κατισχύειν τῶν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἢ τῶν ἄνωθεν ἀγαθῶν ἢ τοῦ μέσου δικαίου εὑρεθήσεται

intermediate will turn out to be mightier than the two gods of whom Marcion speaks since he has the power to seize what is not his

ἰσχυρότερος οὗτος τῶν δύο θεῶν τῶν παρὰ Μαρκίωνι λεγομένων ἐπειδὴ ἐξουσιάζει ἁρπάζειν τὰ ἀλλότρια

9 And the other two will stand finally condemned as powerless in comparison with the one the one who is wicked since they cannot resist and rescue their possessions from the one who seizes them and converts them to wickedness

9 καὶ ἀδρανεῖς λοιπὸν καταψηφισθήσονται οἱ δύο παρὰ τὸν ἕνα πονηρόν οἱ μὴ δυνάμενοι ἀντέχειν καὶ ῥύεσθαι ἀπὸ τοῦ ἁρπάζοντος τὰ αὐτῶν ὄντα καὶ εἰς πονηρίαν μεταβάλλοντος

4271 Let us consider the matter in yet another way that we may bring to light the imposters empty-headed ridicule If the evil one is entirely evil but seizes those who are good from the good god and those who are just from the just god and does not seize only those who belong to himself then the evil one will turn out not to be evil since he grasps for those who are good and presses his claim to them as to those who are superior

4271 ἄλλως δὲ πάλιν νοήσωμεν ἵνα τὴν χλεύην τοῦ ἀγύρτου φωράσωμεν τῆς ματαιοφροσύνης εἰ γὰρ ὅλως ὁ πονηρὸς πονηρὸς ὑπάρχει ἁρπάζει δὲ τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ καὶ τοὺς δικαίους ἀπὸ τοῦ δικαίου ἰδίους δὲ οὐχ ἁρπάζει μόνους εὑρεθήσεται ὁ πονηρὸς οὐκέτι πονηρός τῶν ἀγαθῶν ὀρεγόμενος καὶ ἐπιδικαζόμενος ὡς βελτιόνων

2a And if as well he judges those who belong to him and exacts retribution from those who do wrong then he cannot be evil he who is judge of the evil

2a εἰ δὲ καὶ τοὺς ἰδίους κρίνει τιμωρίαν τε τοὺς ἀδικήσαντας ἀπαιτεῖ οὐκέτι πονηρὸς ἔσται ὁ πονηρῶν δικαστὴς ὑπάρχων

2b καὶ εὑρεθήσεται κατὰ πάντα τρόπον ἡ αὐτοῦ ὑπόθεσις ἑαυτὴν ἀνατρέπουσα3 Πόθεν δὲ εἰλήφασι τὸ εἶναι αἱ τρεῖς ἀρχαί πάλιν λέγε τίς δὲ ὁ ταύταις ὁρισμὸν συστησάμενος εἰ μὲν γὰρ ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ τόπῳ περιορίζεται οὐκέτι τέλεια τὰ τρία εὑρεθήσεται ὁριζόμενα ἔν τισι περιεκτικοῖς τόποις εὑρεθήσεται δὲ τὸ ἑκάστου περιεκτικὸν μεῖζον τοῦ περιεχομένου καὶ οὐκέτι τὸ περιεχόμενον θεὸς ἂν κληθείη ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον ἡ περιεκτικὴ ὁροθεσία4 εἰ δὲ καὶ εἰς ταὐτὸν ἀλλήλοις γενόμενοι ἕκαστος κατὰ δίεσιν τὸν ἴδιον ἐκληρώθη τόπον καὶ ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ ὢν τῷ ἑτέρῳ οὐκ ἐντρίβεται οὐδὲ ἐπέρχεται οὐκέτι αἱ ἀρχαὶ ἀλλήλαις ἐναντίαι οὐδέ τις αὐτῶν φαύλη εὑρεθήσεται διὰ τὸ κατὰ τὸ δίκαιον καὶ ἥσυχον καὶ εὐσταθὲς τῶν ἰδίων ἐπιμέλεσθαι καὶ μὴ περαιτέρω βαίνειν ἐπιβάλλεσθαι5 εἰ δὲ ὁ μὲν πονηρὸς ὑπὸ τοῦ ἄνω κατισχύεται καὶ βιάζεται καὶ καταπονεῖται μεμερισμένος ὢν καὶ ἐν ἰδίῳ τόπῳ ὑπάρχων οὗ τόπου τῷ ἄνω ἀγαθῷ οὐδὲν προσήκει οὐδέ τι ὑπ αὐτοῦ κέκτισται τῶν ἐνταῦθα (λέγω ἐν τῷ τοῦ πονηροῦ τόπῳ) τυραννικώτερος μᾶλλον εὑρεθήσεται ὁ ἄνω καὶ οὐκέτι ἀγαθός τὸν ἴδιον υἱὸν εἴτ οὖν

Χριστὸν ἀποστείλας ἵνα τὰ ἀλλότρια λάβῃ6 καὶ ποῦ ὁ ὅρος ὁ διορίζων τὰς τρεῖς ἀρχὰς κατὰ τὸν τοῦ ἀγύρτου τῆς ὑποθέσεως λόγον ζητηθήσεται γὰρ τέταρτός τις ἐπιεικέστατος καὶ τῶν τριῶν σοφώτερος ὁριογνώμων τε καὶ ἐπιστήμων ὃς τὰ μέτρα ἑκάστῳ διένειμέν τε καὶ τοὺς τρεῖς εἰρηνοποίησεν ἵνα μὴ στασιάσαιεν πρὸς ἀλλήλους μηδὲ εἰς τὰ ἄλλου ἄλλος ἀποστέλλοι7 καὶ οὗτος μὲν πείσας τὰς τρεῖς ἀρχὰς εὑρεθήσεται τέταρτος καὶ σοφώτερος καὶ ἐπιεικέστερος καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ἐν ἰδίῳ τόπῳ πάλιν ζητηθήσεται ἀφ οὗπερ εἰς μέσον ἦλθεν τῶν τριῶν καὶ ἑκάστῳ τὸ μέρος σοφῶς διώρισεν ἵνα μὴ ἀλλήλους ἀδικοῖεν

8 If the two principles act as citizens in the realm of the one the demiurge with the evil god ltcontinually activegt in the realm of the demiurge and the Christ of the good god resident there as well then the judge will turn out to be not only judge and demiurge but good as well since he allows the two to do as they like with his possessions Or else he will turn out to be powerless and unable to hinder the aliens who plunder his property

8 εἰ δὲ ἐν τοῖς τοῦ ἑνός λέγω δὴ τοῦ δημιουργοῦ αἱ δύο ἀρχαί εἰσιν ἐμπολιτευόμεναι ὅ τε πονηρὸς ἐν τοῖς τοῦ δημιουργοῦ dagger χώραις τε καὶ χώροις καὶ ὁ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ Χριστὸς ἐπιδημήσας οὐκέτι ἄρα κριτὴς καὶ δημιουργὸς μόνον ὁ κριτὴς εὑρεθήσεται ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀγαθός συγχωρῶν τοῖς δυσὶν εἰς τὰ ἴδια ποιεῖν ὃ βούλονται ἢ ἀδρανὴς εὑρεθήσεται καὶ μὴ ἰσχύων κωλῦσαι τῶν ἰδίων τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους ἅρπαγας

9 But if he is inferior in power then creation will turn out to be not something enduring but something that has long ago vanished since each day it is snatched away by the evil god to his own realm and by the good one to the realm above And how can creation still endure

9 εἰ δὲ καὶ ἥσσων τῇ δυνάμει ἐστίν οὐκέτι εὑρεθήσεται ἡ δημιουργία συνεστῶσα ἀλλ ἐξέλιπεν ἔκπαλαι ἀναρπαζομένη καθ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ὑπό τε τοῦ πονηροῦ εἰς τὸ ἴδιον μέρος καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ εἰς τὰ ἄνω

10 If you say that it will cease in time to exist and that through the care exercised by the good god it can cease to exist completely then will not the good god lie responsible for the damage done as he did not do long ago what he later deemed it good to accomplish nor for that matter do it from the outset before the majority were injured came to be detained by the judge and remained below

10 καὶ πῶς ἔτι ἡ δημιουργία σταθήσεται εἰ δὲ ὅτι χρόνῳ λήξει λέγεις καὶ δυνατὸν ταύτην ὅλως λήγειν διὰ τῆς τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ἐπιμελείας οὐκοῦν ὁ ἀγαθὸς αἴτιος τῆς βλάβης ἔσται ὁ μὴ πάλαι ποιήσας ὅπερ ὕστερον ἀγαθὸν ἔδοξεν ἐπιτελεῖν μήτε μὴν πεποιηκὼς ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνέκαθεν πρὶν ἢ τοὺς πλείους ἀδικηθῆναι καὶ ἐν καθέξει αὐτοὺς γενέσθαι τοῦ κριτοῦ καὶ κάτω μεμενηκέναι

4281 He also presents things from sacred scripture which he does not understand aright deceiving the simple when he twists the words of the apostle which run Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law having become a curse for us He says If we were his he would not have bought what was his

4281 Πάλιν δὲ τὰ τῆς θείας γραφῆς οὐκ ὀρθῶς νοῶν προφέρει καὶ τοὺς ἀκεραίους ἐξαπατᾷ διαστρέφων τὸ τοῦ ἀποστόλου ῥητόν ὅτι laquoΧριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάραraquo καί φησιν εἰ ἦμεν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἂν τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ἠγόραζεν

2 But when he bought us he came into an alien 2 ἀγοράσας δὲ εἰς ἀλλότριον κόσμον ἦλθεν ἡμᾶς

world to redeem us who did not belong to him For we were made by another and for that reason he purchased us for his own life

ἐξαγοράσαι τοὺς οὐκ ὄντας αὐτοῦ ποίημα γὰρ ἦμεν ἑτέρου καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἡμᾶς αὐτὸς ἠγόραζεν εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ζωήν

ἀγνοεῖ δὲ ὅλως ὁ ἠλίθιος ὅτι οὔτε Χριστὸς κατάρα γεγένηται (μὴ γένοιτο) ἀλλὰ τὴν κατάραν τὴν διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν ἀφεῖλεν ἑαυτὸν σταυρώσας καὶ γενόμενος θάνατος θανάτῳ [διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν] καὶ κατάρα αὐτὸς τῇ κατάρᾳ γενόμενος διὸ οὐκ ἔστι Χριστὸς κατάρα ἀλλὰ τῆς κατάρας λύσις εὐλογία δὲ πᾶσι τοῖς εἰς αὐτὸν ἀληθῶς πεπιστευκόσιν οὕτω καὶ τὸ laquoἐξηγόρασενraquo οὐκ εἶπεν laquoἠγόρασενraquo οὔτε γὰρ εἰς ἀλλότριον ἦλθεν ἁρπάσαι ἢ ἀγοράσαι εἰ γὰρ ἠγόρασεν μὴ ἔχων ἠγόρασε καὶ ὡς πτωχὸς ἃ μὴ εἶχεν ἐκτήσατο καὶ εἰ ὁ κεκτημένος ἡμᾶς πέπρακεν ἀπορήσας πέπρακεν ἀπό τινος ἄρα δανειστοῦ ἐλαυνόμενος ἀλλ οὐκ ἔχει οὕτως οὔτε γὰρ εἶπεν laquoἠγόρασενraquo ἀλλ laquoἐξηγόρασενraquo ὅμοιον δὲ τούτῳ ὁ αὐτὸς ἅγιος ἀπόστολός φησιν laquoἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσιraquo καὶ οὐχ ἡμέρας ἀγοράζομεν οὐδὲ τιμὴν ἡμερῶν δίδομεν ἀλλὰ τὸ δι ὑπομονὴν καὶ τὸ μελλητικὸν τῆς μακροθυμίας σημαίνων τοῦτο ἔφη ὥστε τὸ ἐξηγόρασε τὴν ὑπόθεσιν ὑπέφηνεν τῆς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἀναδοχῆς ἐν κόσμῳ ἐνσάρκου παρουσίας ltδιgt ἧς ἀνεδέξατο ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν παθεῖν ὁ ἀπαθὴς ὢν θεός μένων ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ ἀπαθείᾳ τῆς αὐτοῦ θεότητος καὶ αὐτὸ ὃ ἀνεδέξατο ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν παθεῖν οὐκ ἀγοράζων ἡμᾶς ἀπ ἀλλοτρίων ἀλλὰ τὴν ὑπόθεσιν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν τοῦ σταυροῦ ἀναδεξάμενος προαιρέσει καὶ οὐ μετ ἀνάγκης ὅθεν ἐλήλεγκται κατὰ πάντα τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ὁ λόγος καὶ πολλά ἐστι τὰ πρὸς ἀνατροπὴν τῆς τούτου μηχανῆς καὶ τραγῳδίας ἐξ εὐσεβοῦς λογισμοῦ καὶ εὐλόγου ὁρμώμενα ἐμφάσεως ἐν τῇ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀντιρρήσει

4291a I will now proceed to his writings or rather to his mischief

4291a Ἐλεύσομαι δὲ εἰς τὰ ὑπ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα μᾶλλον δὲ ἐρρᾳδιουργημένα

1b He has as a gospel only Lukes with the beginning removed because of the Saviors conception and incarnation

1b οὗτος γὰρ ἔχει εὐαγγέλιον μόνον τὸ κατὰ Λουκᾶν περικεκομμένον ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς διὰ τὴν τοῦ σωτῆρος σύλληψιν καὶ τὴν ἔνσαρκον αὐτοῦ παρουσίαν

2a But he cut off not just the beginning 2a οὐ μόνον δὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἀπέτεμεν hellip2b but removed as well much of the conclusion and of the words of truth that come between and added other things to what was written But this is the only writing he accepts Lukes Gospel

2b ὁ λυμηνάμενος ἑαυτὸν ltμᾶλλονgt ἤπερ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦ τέλους καὶ τῶν μέσων πολλὰ περιέκοψε τῶν τῆς ἀληθείας λόγων ἄλλα δὲ παρὰ τὰ γεγραμμένα προστέθεικεν μόνῳ δὲ

κέχρηται τούτῳ τῷ χαρακτῆρι τῷ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίῳ

3 He has as well ten letters of the holy apostle which are all he accepts but he does not accept everything written in them Some of their passages he removes and some he alters These are the two books he accepts but he composed other writings of his own for those whom he led astray

3 ἔχει δὲ καὶ ἐπιστολὰς παρ αὐτῷ τοῦ ἁγίου ἀποστόλου δέκα αἷς μόναις κέχρηται οὐ πᾶσι δὲ τοῖς ἐν αὐταῖς γεγραμμένοις ἀλλὰ τινὰ αὐτῶν περιτέμνων τινὰ δὲ ἀλλοιώσας κεφάλαια ταύταις δὲ ταῖς δυσὶ βίβλοις κέχρηται ἄλλα δὲ συντάγματα ἀφ ἑαυτοῦ συνέταξε τοῖς ὑπ αὐτοῦ πλανωμένοις hellip

4 The letters mentioned by him are first to the Galatians second to the Corinthians third the second letter to the Corinthians fourth to the Romans fifth to the Thessalonians sixth the second letter to the Thessaloni-ans seventh to the Ephesians eighth to the Colossians ninth to Philemon and tenth to the Philippians He also has parts of the letter called to the Laodiceans

4 αἱ δὲ ἐπιστολαὶ αἱ παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμεναί εἰσι πρώτη μὲν πρὸς Γαλάτας δευτέρα δὲ πρὸς Κορινθίους τρίτη πρὸς Κορινθίους δευτέρα τετάρτη πρὸς Ῥωμαίους πέμπτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς ἕκτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς δευτέρα ἑβδόμη πρὸς Ἐφεσίους ὀγδόη πρὸς Κολασσαεῖς ἐνάτη πρὸς Φιλήμονα δεκάτη πρὸς Φιλιππησίους ἔχει δὲ καὶ τῆς πρὸς Λαοδικέας λεγομένης μέρηἐξ οὗπερ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ παρ αὐτῷ σῳζομένου τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν τοῦ ἀποστόλου δεῖξαι αὐτὸν σὺν θεῷ ἔχομεν ἀπατεῶνα καὶ πεπλανημένον καὶ ἀκρότατα διελέγξαι ἐξ αὐτῶν γὰρ ἀναμφιβόλως τῶν παρ αὐτοῦ ὁμολογουμένων ἀνατραπήσεται ἐκ γὰρ τῶν αὐτῶν ἔτι παρ αὐτῷ λειψάνων τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν εὑρισκομένων δειχθήσεται ὁ Χριστὸς τοῖς συνετοῖς μὴ ἀλλότριος εἶναι παλαιᾶς διαθήκης καὶ οἱ προφῆται οὖν οὐκ ἀλλότριοι ὄντες τῆς τοῦ κυρίου ἐνδημίας καὶ ὅτι ἀνάστασιν σαρκὸς ὁ ἀπόστολος κηρύττει καὶ δικαίους τοὺς προφήτας ὀνομάζει καὶ ἐν σῳζομένοις ὑπάρχοντας τοὺς περὶ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶ τῆς ἁγίας τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκκλησίας σωτήριά τε καὶ ἅγια καὶ ἐκ θεοῦ ἐστηριγμένα ἔν τε τῇ πίστει καὶ ἐν τῇ γνώσει καὶ ἐν ἐλπίδι καὶ διδασκαλίᾳ

42101 I shall here insert the work which I composed against him before I devoted myself to this work which I undertook at your urging my brothers

4210 Παραθήσομαι δὲ καὶ ἣν ἐποιησάμην κατ αὐτοῦ πραγματείαν πρὶν τοῦ ταύτην μου τὴν σύνταξιν ἐσπουδακέναι διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν τῶν ἀδελφῶν προτροπῆς ποιήσασθαι

2 Many years ago when I was examining the deceptions and ridiculous teaching which Marcion had thought up and was reading the very books I just mentioned which lthe had mutilatedgt the one he calls a gospel and ltthe onegt he calls the letters of the apostle I picked out and listed in order the passages from the two books from which

2 ἀπὸ ἐτῶν ἱκανῶν ἀνερευνῶν τὴν τούτου τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ἐπινενοημένην ψευδηγορίαν καὶ ληρώδη διδασκαλίαν αὐτὰς δὴ τὰς τοῦ προειρημένου βίβλους ἃς dagger κέκτηται μετὰ χεῖρας λαβών τό τε παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμενον εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ltτὸgt ἀποστολικὸν καλούμενον παρ αὐτῷ ἐξανθισάμενος καὶ ἀναλεξάμενος καθ εἱρμὸν ἀπὸ

he may be refuted and made a sketch of a work in which I put the passages in sequence and listed each one as 1 2 3

τῶν προειρημένων δύο βιβλίων τὰ ἐλέγξαι αὐτὸν δυνάμενα ἐδάφιόν τι συντάξεως ἐποιησάμην ἀκολούθως τάξας κεφάλαια καὶ ἐπιγράψας ἑκάστῃ ῥήσει ltαgt ltβgt ltγgt

3 And in this way I went through to the end listing the places where the wretch even yet in the passages which remain preserves words of the Savior and of the apostle which speak against him

3 καὶ οὕτως ἕως τέλους διεξῆλθον ἐν οἷς φαίνεται ἠλιθίως καθ ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι ταύτας τὰς παραμεινάσας τοῦ τε σωτῆρος καὶ τοῦ ἀποστόλου λέξεις φυλάττων

4 For some of them he in his villainy alters to a form different from the text of Lukes Gospel and the wording of the letters of the apostle

4 αἱ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν παρηλλαγμένως ὑπ αὐτοῦ ἐρρᾳδιουργήθησαν καὶ ὡς οὐκ εἶχεν τοῦ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀντίγραφον οὔτε ἡ τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ χαρακτῆρος ἔμφασις

5 Others are just as they appear in the gospel and in the apostle not altered by him but suitable to refute him ones in which ltthegt Old Testament is shown to be in harmony with the New and the New with the Old

5 ἄλλα δὲ φύσει ὡς ἔχει καὶ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ὁ ἀπόστολος μὴ ἀλλαγέντα ὑπ αὐτοῦ δυνάμενα δὲ αὐτὸν διελέγχειν δι ὧν δείκνυται ltἡgt παλαιὰ διαθήκη συμφωνοῦσα πρὸς τὴν νέαν καὶ ἡ καινὴ πρὸς τὴν παλαιὰν διαθήκην

6 Still other passages from the books show that Christ came in the flesh and became a complete human being among us

6 ἄλλαι δὲ πάλιν λέξεις τῶν αὐτῶν βιβλίων ὑποφαίνουσαι Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθέναι καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν τελείως ἐνηνθρωπηκέναι

7 Others again acknowledge the resurrection of the dead and God the one almighty Lord of all himself maker of heaven and earth and all that comes to be on the earth and neither falsify the calling of the gospel nor deny the maker and creator of all but point to him who is clearly acknowledged by the apostolic writing and the gospel message

7 ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλαι πάλιν ὁμολογοῦσαι τὴν τῶν νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν καὶ τὸν θεὸν ἕνα ὄντα κύριον πάντων παντοκράτορα αὐτὸν ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς γενομένων καὶ οὔτε παραχαράσσουσαι τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τὴν κλῆσιν οὔτε μὴν ἀρνούμεναι τὸν ποιητὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν τῶν πάντων ἀλλὰ δηλοῦσαι τὸν σαφῶς ὡμολογημένον ὑπὸ τοῦ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελικοῦ κηρύγματος

2 For we have devoted ourselves to arranging here those passages from his gospel which may be used in refutation of his cunning villainy so that those who desire to peruse this work may use it as an exercise in acuity with a view to refuting the strange utterances dreamed up by him 3 For although the document containing Lukes Gospel ltdoes contain the text of that gospelgt because it is mutilated and has no beginning

middle or end it is like a garment eaten by many moths 4 For at the very outset everything written by Luke at the beginning where he says Inasmuch as many have undertaken and so forth and about Elizabeth and the angel bringing the good news to the Virgin Mary about John and Zechariah and the birth in Bethlehem the genealogy and the account of the baptismmdash5 All this he removes and skips over and puts as the beginning of the gospel In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar [Luke 31] and so forth 6 This is where he begins and once again he does not preserve the continuity of the text but as I said he falsifies some things and adds others out of proper sequence not proceeding in a straight line but wandering all about carelessly The passages are as followsi [Luke 514] Go show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your purification as Moses commanded that it may be a testimony to you instead of which the Savior said a testimony to themii [524] That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earthiii [65] The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbathiv [616f] Judas Iscariot who turned traitor But instead of He came down with them he has He came down among themv [619f] And all the crowd was trying to touch him And raising his eyes and so forthvi [623] Your fathers treated the prophets in the same wayvii [79] I tell you not even in Israel have I found so much faithviii [723] He altered Blessed is he who is not scandalized in me for he look it as directed against Johnix [727] He it is about whom it was written Behold I send my messenger before you[HD2109] x [736 38] And entering the Pharisees house he reclined But the woman who was a sinner standing behind by his feet washed his feet with her tears and wiped and kissed themxi |744| Again She has washed my feet with her

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

[2183]hellip 141 Ἔτι δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπεμνήσθημεν ὡς τινὲς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν Μαρκιωνιστῶν εἰς βυθὸν βλασφημίας παραπεπτωκότες

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

τινὲς γὰρ αὐτῶν τετολμήκασιν ὡς ἔφην αὐτὸν τὸν κύριον εἶναι υἱὸν τοῦ πονηροῦ λέγειν οὐκ αἰσχυνόμενοι ἄλλοι δὲ οὐχί ἀλλὰ τοῦ κριτοῦ τε καὶ δημιουργοῦ

[HD2185] 167 If (Christ) had not fled as Marcion says to the God above the good God would have had no one to send if conflict had not arisen between the father of Christ and his own son as Marcion says

many of the sects Resurrection life and salvation belong to the soul only he says

6 But he gives not just one sacred bath it is allowed by them to give up to three baths and more to those who want them as I have heard from many people

7 It came about that he allowed three or more baths to be given because of the mockery he suffered from his disciples who knew him on account of his lapse and his seduction of the virgin

8 Because he seduced the virgin in his own city fled and was detected in his great lapse the imposter thought up for himself a second bath saying that it is allowed to give up to three baths that is three baptisms to take away sins so that if one lapses after the first and repents he receives a second and a third likewise if he lapses after the second

9 In order to save himself from ridicule he offers as proof that after his fall he was once again purified and is now among the innocent a text which he argues wrongly is persuasive one which can deceive although it does not have the meaning he gives it

10 He says that the Lord who had been baptized by John used to say to his disciples I have a baptism with which to be baptized and how I wish that I had accomplished it and again I have a cup to drink and my only wish is to fill it And thus he taught the giving of several baptisms

πολλαὶ τῶν αἱρέσεων ψυχῆς δὲ ἀνάστασιν εἶναι λέγει καὶ ζωὴν καὶ σωτηρίαν μόνης

6 οὐ μόνον δὲ παρ αὐτῷ ἓν λουτρὸν δίδοται ἀλλὰ καὶ ἕως τριῶν λουτρῶν καὶ ἐπέκεινα ἔξεστι διδόναι παρ αὐτοῖς τῷ βουλομένῳ ὡς παρὰ πολλῶν ἀκήκοα

7 συμβέβηκε δὲ τοῦτο γενέσθαι αὐτῷ τὸ ἐφίεσθαι τρία ἢ καὶ πλείω λουτρὰ δίδοσθαι δι ἣν ὑπεῖχεν χλεύην παρὰ τῶν αὐτὸν ἐγνωκότων μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ἐκ παραπτώματός τε καὶ φθορᾶς τῆς εἰς τὴν παρθένον γεγενημένης

8 ἐπειδὴ φθείρας ἐν τῇ ἑαυτοῦ πόλει τὴν παρθένον καὶ ἀποδράσας μὲν ἐν παραπτώματι μεγάλῳ εὑρέθη ἐπενόησεν ὁ ἀγύρτης ἑαυτῷ δεύτερον λουτρόν φήσας ὅτι ἔξεστιν ἕως τριῶν λουτρῶν τουτέστιν τριῶν βαπτισμῶν εἰς ἄφεσιν τῶν ἁμαρτιῶν δίδοσθαι ἵν εἴ τις παρέπεσεν εἰς τὸ πρῶτον λάβῃ δεύτερον μετανοήσας καὶ τρίτον ὡσαύτως ἐὰν ἐν παραπτώματι μετὰ τὸ δεύτερον γένηται

9 φέρει δὲ δῆθεν ἵνα τὴν ἑαυτοῦ χλεύην ἀνασώσῃ εἰς παράστασιν αὐτοῦ ὅτι [τὸ] μετὰ τὸ αὐτοῦ παράπτωμα πάλιν ἐκαθαρίσθη καὶ λοιπὸν ἐν ἀθῴοις ὑπάρχει μαρτυρίαν περὶ τούτου ψευδηγορῶν ὡς πιθανήν δυναμένην ἐξαπατῆσαι οὐ τοῦτο δὲ σημαίνουσαν ὃ αὐτὸς λέγει

10 ὅτι φησί βαπτισθεὶς ὁ κύριος ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἰωάννου ἔλεγε τοῖς μαθηταῖς laquoβάπτισμα ἔχω βαπτισθῆναι καὶ τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη τετέλεκα αὐτόraquo καὶ πάλιν laquoποτήριον ἔχω πιεῖν καὶ τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη πληρώσω αὐτόraquo καὶ οὕτω τὸ διδόναι πλείω βαπτίσματα ἐδογμάτισεν

4241 Not only that but he also rejects the law and all the prophets saying that such people prophesied under the influence of the archon who made the world

4241 Οὐ μόνον δὲ τοῦτο ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸν νόμον ἀποβάλλει καὶ πάντας προφήτας λέγων ἐκ τοῦ ἄρχοντος τοῦ τὸν κόσμον πεποιηκότος τοὺς τοιούτους πεπροφητευκέναι

2 He says that Christ came down from above from the invisible and unnameable Father for the salvation of souls and the refutation of the God of the Jews the law the prophets and suchlike

2 Χριστὸν δὲ λέγει ἄνωθεν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀοράτου καὶ ἀκατονομάστου πατρὸς καταβεβηκέναι ἐπὶ σωτηρίᾳ τῶν ψυχῶν καὶ ἐπὶ ἐλέγχῳ τοῦ θεοῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων καὶ νόμου καὶ προφητῶν καὶ τῶν τοιούτων

3 The Lord descended to the netherworld to save those associated with Cain Korah Dathan and Abiram as well as Esau and all the nations who did not know the God of the Jews

3 καὶ ἄχρι Ἅιδου καταβεβηκέναι τὸν κύριον ἵνα σώσῃ τοὺς περὶ Κάϊν καὶ Κορὲ καὶ Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβειρών Ἠσαῦ τε καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ μὴ ἐγνωκότα τὸν θεὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων

4 But those associated with Abel Enoch Noah Abraham Isaac Jacob and Moses David and Solomon he left there because he says they knew the God of the Jews who is maker and creator and did what he commanded and did not dedicate themselves to the invisible God

4 τοὺς δὲ περὶ Ἄβελ καὶ Ἐνὼχ καὶ Νῶε καὶ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ Μωυσέα Δαυίδ τε καὶ Σολομῶντα ἐκεῖ καταλελοιπέναι διότι ἐπέγνωσαν φησί τὸν θεὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὄντα ποιητὴν καὶ κτιστήν καὶ τὰ καθήκοντα αὐτοῦ πεποιήκασι καὶ οὐχὶ τῷ θεῷ τῷ ἀοράτῳ ἑαυτοὺς προσανέθεντο

5 He also allows women to baptize For with them all is ridicule and nothing else since they dare even to celebrate the sacraments in the sight of catechumens

5 δίδωσι καὶ ἐπιτροπὴν γυναιξὶ βάπτισμα διδόναι παρ αὐτοῖς γὰρ πάντα χλεύης ἔμπλεα καὶ οὐδὲν ἕτερον ὁπότε καὶ τὰ μυστήρια ἐνώπιον κατηχουμένων ἐπιτελεῖν τολμῶσιν

6 He says also as I mentioned that resurrection is not of bodies but of souls and he restricts salvation to them he does not allow it for the bodies And he talks likewise about transmigrations of souls and reincarnations from bodies to bodies

6 ἀνάστασιν δὲ ὡς εἶπον οὗτος λέγει οὐχὶ σωμάτων ἀλλὰ ψυχῶν καὶ σωτηρίαν ταύταις ὁρίζεται οὐχὶ τοῖς σώμασιν καὶ μεταγγισμοὺς ὁμοίως τῶν ψυχῶν καὶ μετενσωματώσεις ἀπὸ σωμάτων εἰς σώματα φάσκει

425 Πανταχόθεν δὲ πίπτει ἡ αὐτοῦ ματαία κενοφωνία ὡς ἤδη μοι ἐν ἄλλαις αἱρέσεσι πεπραγμάτευται πῶς γὰρ ἀναστήσεται ἡ μὴ πεπτωκυῖα ψυχή ἀνάστασις δὲ πῶς αὐτῆς κληθήσεται τῆς μὴ πεσούσης ψυχῆς πᾶν γὰρ τὸ πῖπτον ἀναστάσεως δεῖται πίπτει δὲ οὐχὶ ψυχή ἀλλὰ σῶμα ὅθεν καὶ δικαίως πτῶμα αὐτὸ ἡ συνήθεια εἴωθεν καλεῖν καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ κύριος εἰπὼν ὅτι laquoὅπου τὸ πτῶμα ἐκεῖ συναχθήσονται οἱ ἀετοίraquo καὶ γὰρ ἐν τοῖς μνήμασιν οὐ κατακλείομεν ψυχάς ἀλλὰ σώματα κατατιθέαμεν ἐν γῇ καταχώσαντες ὧν ἡ ἀνάστασις εἰς ἐλπίδα ἔχει τὸ κήρυγμα καθάπερ ὁ τοῦ σίτου κόκκος ὡς καὶ ὁ ἅγιος ἀπόστολος τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἤνεγκεν περὶ τοῦ κόκκου τοῦ σίτου καὶ τῶν ἄλλων σπερμάτων καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ κύριος ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ ὅτι laquoἐὰν μὴ πεσὼν ὁ κόκκος τοῦ σίτου ἀποθάνῃ μόνος μένειraquo ὁ δὲ ἅγιος ἀπόστολός φησιν laquoἄφρωνraquo (ἄφρονα γὰρ καλεῖ τὸν ἄπιστον τὸν ὅλως ἀμφιβάλλοντα καὶ λέγοντα laquoπῶς ἡ ἀνάστασις γίνεται ποίῳ δὲ σώματι ἔρχονταιraquo καὶ εὐθὺς πρὸς τοὺς τοιούτους φησίν) laquoἄφρων σὺ ὃ σπείρεις οὐ ζωογονεῖται ἐὰν μὴ ἀποθάνῃraquo καὶ ἔδειξεν ἐξ ἅπαντος ἡ γραφὴ τοῦ πεπτωκότος κόκκου τουτέστιν τοῦ σώματος τοῦ θαπτομένου καὶ οὐ ψυχῆς τὴν ἀνάστασιν γίνεσθαι πῶς δὲ ψυχὴ ἐλεύσεται μόνη πῶς δὲ βασιλεύσει μόνη ἡ ὁμοῦ σὺν σώματι ἐργασαμένη

τὸ δίκαιον ἢ τὸ φαῦλον ἔσται γὰρ ἐναντία καὶ οὐ δικαία ἡ κρίσις

4261 How will Marcions theory of the three principles hold together How will the one be found to be good who performs a work of salvation or of something else in the region of the one who is evil

4261 Πῶς δὲ συσταθήσεται ὁ παρ αὐτῷ τῷ Μαρκίωνι τριῶν ἀρχῶν λόγος πῶς δὲ [ὁ] ἀγαθὸς εὑρεθήσεται ltὁgt ἐν τοῖς τοῦ φαύλου μέρεσιν ἔργον ἐπιτελῶν ἢ σωτηρίας ἢ τῶν ἄλλων

2 For if the world is not his but he sent his only begotten into the world to take out of the world which is not his what he neither sowed nor made he will be found to be one who goes after what is not his or who suffers from poverty and has no possessions of his own but gives himself over to what belongs to another in order to provide for himself what he did not have before

2 εἰ γὰρ οὐκ αὐτοῦ τυγχάνει ὁ κόσμος ἀπέστειλεν δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ εἰς τὸν κόσμον λαβεῖν ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τοῦ ἀλλοτρίου ἃ μὴ αὐτὸς ἔσπειρεν μηδὲ ἐποίησεν εὑρεθήσεται ἢ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων ἐφιέμενος ἢ πενίαν ὑφιστάμενος καὶ ἴδια μὴ ἔχων ἐπὶ τὰ ἀλλότρια ἑαυτὸν ἐπιδιδούς ὅπως ἑαυτῷ προσπορίσηται ἃ μὴ πρότερον ἔχει

3 But how will the demiurge be a judge between the other two And whom can he judge For if he sits in judgment over the possessions of the one above he is more powerful than the one above since he brings into his court what belongs to the one above as Marcion teaches

3 πῶς δὲ κριτὴς ἀνὰ μέσον ἀμφοτέρων γενήσεται ὁ δημιουργός εἶτα τίνας ἔχει κρῖναι εἰ γὰρ τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἄνω σκευῶν δικαστὴς προκαθέζεται ἰσχύει ὑπὲρ τὸν ἄνω ἐπειδὴ φέρει εἰς μέσον τῶν αὐτοῦ κριτηρίων τὰ τοῦ ἄνω ὑπάρχοντα ὡς τῷ Μαρκίωνι ἔδοξε

4 And if he is really a judge he is just Now we will show from the word just that good and just mean the same

4 καὶ εἰ ὅλως κριτὴς τυγχάνει δίκαιός ἐστι δείξομεν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ δικαίου ὀνόματος ὅτι ταὐτόν ἐστι τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ τὸ δίκαιον

5 For whatever is just is also good For it is from being good that he grants with justice and truth what is good to the one who has done good and he will no longer be opposed to the one who is good in respect to what is good since he furnishes in justice what is good to the one who is good and the rebuke of punishment to the one who is wicked

5 πᾶν γὰρ ὃ δίκαιόν ἐστι τοῦτο καὶ ἀγαθόν ἀπὸ γὰρ τοῦ ἀγαθὸν εἶναι τὸ ἀγαθὸν χαρίζεται δικαίως μετὰ ἀληθείας τῷ ἀγαθὰ δράσαντι καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται πρὸς τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐναντίος τῷ ἀγαθῷ κατὰ δικαιοσύνην τὸ ἀγαθὸν τῷ ἀγαθῷ παρέχων καὶ τῷ φαύλῳ τὴν ἐπιτιμίαν τῆς τιμωρίας

6 Nor further will he be good who renders the good reward at the end to the one who is wicked and does not repent even if for the present he causes his sun to rise on the good and the bad and furnishes his moisture to both evil and good people because of their present freedom of will

6 οὐδὲ πάλιν ἀγαθὸς ἂν εἴη ὁ τῷ πονηρῷ τὸν ἀγαθὸν μισθὸν ἐπὶ τῷ τέλει ἀποδιδοὺς μὴ μετανοοῦντι εἰ καὶ ἐν τῷ παρόντι ἀνατέλλοι αὐτοῦ τὸν ἥλιον ἐπὶ ἀγαθοὺς καὶ φαύλους καὶ τὸν ὑετὸν αὐτοῦ παρέχοι διὰ τὸ νῦν αὐτεξούσιον τοῖς τε πονηροῖς καὶ ἀγαθοῖς ἀνθρώποις

7 For that nature cannot be good and just which belongs to the one who furnishes to the one who is evil the reward of salvation in the future age and does not rather hate what is wicked and evil

7 ἀγαθὴ γὰρ οὐκέτι ἔσται φύσις καὶ δικαία τοῦ τῷ πονηρῷ μισθὸν ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι αἰῶνι σωτηρίας παρέχοντος καὶ οὐ μᾶλλον μισοῦντος τὸ πονηρὸν καὶ φαῦλον

8 Now their third evil god if he has the power to do evil and to prevail against those in the world whether they are of those that are good from above or belong to the just one who is

8 ὁ δὲ τρίτος εὑρισκόμενος παρ αὐτῷ πονηρός εἰ ἔχει τὴν ἐξουσίαν τὰ πονηρὰ ἐργάζεσθαι καὶ κατισχύειν τῶν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἢ τῶν ἄνωθεν ἀγαθῶν ἢ τοῦ μέσου δικαίου εὑρεθήσεται

intermediate will turn out to be mightier than the two gods of whom Marcion speaks since he has the power to seize what is not his

ἰσχυρότερος οὗτος τῶν δύο θεῶν τῶν παρὰ Μαρκίωνι λεγομένων ἐπειδὴ ἐξουσιάζει ἁρπάζειν τὰ ἀλλότρια

9 And the other two will stand finally condemned as powerless in comparison with the one the one who is wicked since they cannot resist and rescue their possessions from the one who seizes them and converts them to wickedness

9 καὶ ἀδρανεῖς λοιπὸν καταψηφισθήσονται οἱ δύο παρὰ τὸν ἕνα πονηρόν οἱ μὴ δυνάμενοι ἀντέχειν καὶ ῥύεσθαι ἀπὸ τοῦ ἁρπάζοντος τὰ αὐτῶν ὄντα καὶ εἰς πονηρίαν μεταβάλλοντος

4271 Let us consider the matter in yet another way that we may bring to light the imposters empty-headed ridicule If the evil one is entirely evil but seizes those who are good from the good god and those who are just from the just god and does not seize only those who belong to himself then the evil one will turn out not to be evil since he grasps for those who are good and presses his claim to them as to those who are superior

4271 ἄλλως δὲ πάλιν νοήσωμεν ἵνα τὴν χλεύην τοῦ ἀγύρτου φωράσωμεν τῆς ματαιοφροσύνης εἰ γὰρ ὅλως ὁ πονηρὸς πονηρὸς ὑπάρχει ἁρπάζει δὲ τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ καὶ τοὺς δικαίους ἀπὸ τοῦ δικαίου ἰδίους δὲ οὐχ ἁρπάζει μόνους εὑρεθήσεται ὁ πονηρὸς οὐκέτι πονηρός τῶν ἀγαθῶν ὀρεγόμενος καὶ ἐπιδικαζόμενος ὡς βελτιόνων

2a And if as well he judges those who belong to him and exacts retribution from those who do wrong then he cannot be evil he who is judge of the evil

2a εἰ δὲ καὶ τοὺς ἰδίους κρίνει τιμωρίαν τε τοὺς ἀδικήσαντας ἀπαιτεῖ οὐκέτι πονηρὸς ἔσται ὁ πονηρῶν δικαστὴς ὑπάρχων

2b καὶ εὑρεθήσεται κατὰ πάντα τρόπον ἡ αὐτοῦ ὑπόθεσις ἑαυτὴν ἀνατρέπουσα3 Πόθεν δὲ εἰλήφασι τὸ εἶναι αἱ τρεῖς ἀρχαί πάλιν λέγε τίς δὲ ὁ ταύταις ὁρισμὸν συστησάμενος εἰ μὲν γὰρ ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ τόπῳ περιορίζεται οὐκέτι τέλεια τὰ τρία εὑρεθήσεται ὁριζόμενα ἔν τισι περιεκτικοῖς τόποις εὑρεθήσεται δὲ τὸ ἑκάστου περιεκτικὸν μεῖζον τοῦ περιεχομένου καὶ οὐκέτι τὸ περιεχόμενον θεὸς ἂν κληθείη ἀλλὰ μᾶλλον ἡ περιεκτικὴ ὁροθεσία4 εἰ δὲ καὶ εἰς ταὐτὸν ἀλλήλοις γενόμενοι ἕκαστος κατὰ δίεσιν τὸν ἴδιον ἐκληρώθη τόπον καὶ ἕκαστος ἐν τῷ ἰδίῳ ὢν τῷ ἑτέρῳ οὐκ ἐντρίβεται οὐδὲ ἐπέρχεται οὐκέτι αἱ ἀρχαὶ ἀλλήλαις ἐναντίαι οὐδέ τις αὐτῶν φαύλη εὑρεθήσεται διὰ τὸ κατὰ τὸ δίκαιον καὶ ἥσυχον καὶ εὐσταθὲς τῶν ἰδίων ἐπιμέλεσθαι καὶ μὴ περαιτέρω βαίνειν ἐπιβάλλεσθαι5 εἰ δὲ ὁ μὲν πονηρὸς ὑπὸ τοῦ ἄνω κατισχύεται καὶ βιάζεται καὶ καταπονεῖται μεμερισμένος ὢν καὶ ἐν ἰδίῳ τόπῳ ὑπάρχων οὗ τόπου τῷ ἄνω ἀγαθῷ οὐδὲν προσήκει οὐδέ τι ὑπ αὐτοῦ κέκτισται τῶν ἐνταῦθα (λέγω ἐν τῷ τοῦ πονηροῦ τόπῳ) τυραννικώτερος μᾶλλον εὑρεθήσεται ὁ ἄνω καὶ οὐκέτι ἀγαθός τὸν ἴδιον υἱὸν εἴτ οὖν

Χριστὸν ἀποστείλας ἵνα τὰ ἀλλότρια λάβῃ6 καὶ ποῦ ὁ ὅρος ὁ διορίζων τὰς τρεῖς ἀρχὰς κατὰ τὸν τοῦ ἀγύρτου τῆς ὑποθέσεως λόγον ζητηθήσεται γὰρ τέταρτός τις ἐπιεικέστατος καὶ τῶν τριῶν σοφώτερος ὁριογνώμων τε καὶ ἐπιστήμων ὃς τὰ μέτρα ἑκάστῳ διένειμέν τε καὶ τοὺς τρεῖς εἰρηνοποίησεν ἵνα μὴ στασιάσαιεν πρὸς ἀλλήλους μηδὲ εἰς τὰ ἄλλου ἄλλος ἀποστέλλοι7 καὶ οὗτος μὲν πείσας τὰς τρεῖς ἀρχὰς εὑρεθήσεται τέταρτος καὶ σοφώτερος καὶ ἐπιεικέστερος καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ἐν ἰδίῳ τόπῳ πάλιν ζητηθήσεται ἀφ οὗπερ εἰς μέσον ἦλθεν τῶν τριῶν καὶ ἑκάστῳ τὸ μέρος σοφῶς διώρισεν ἵνα μὴ ἀλλήλους ἀδικοῖεν

8 If the two principles act as citizens in the realm of the one the demiurge with the evil god ltcontinually activegt in the realm of the demiurge and the Christ of the good god resident there as well then the judge will turn out to be not only judge and demiurge but good as well since he allows the two to do as they like with his possessions Or else he will turn out to be powerless and unable to hinder the aliens who plunder his property

8 εἰ δὲ ἐν τοῖς τοῦ ἑνός λέγω δὴ τοῦ δημιουργοῦ αἱ δύο ἀρχαί εἰσιν ἐμπολιτευόμεναι ὅ τε πονηρὸς ἐν τοῖς τοῦ δημιουργοῦ dagger χώραις τε καὶ χώροις καὶ ὁ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ Χριστὸς ἐπιδημήσας οὐκέτι ἄρα κριτὴς καὶ δημιουργὸς μόνον ὁ κριτὴς εὑρεθήσεται ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀγαθός συγχωρῶν τοῖς δυσὶν εἰς τὰ ἴδια ποιεῖν ὃ βούλονται ἢ ἀδρανὴς εὑρεθήσεται καὶ μὴ ἰσχύων κωλῦσαι τῶν ἰδίων τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους ἅρπαγας

9 But if he is inferior in power then creation will turn out to be not something enduring but something that has long ago vanished since each day it is snatched away by the evil god to his own realm and by the good one to the realm above And how can creation still endure

9 εἰ δὲ καὶ ἥσσων τῇ δυνάμει ἐστίν οὐκέτι εὑρεθήσεται ἡ δημιουργία συνεστῶσα ἀλλ ἐξέλιπεν ἔκπαλαι ἀναρπαζομένη καθ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ὑπό τε τοῦ πονηροῦ εἰς τὸ ἴδιον μέρος καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ εἰς τὰ ἄνω

10 If you say that it will cease in time to exist and that through the care exercised by the good god it can cease to exist completely then will not the good god lie responsible for the damage done as he did not do long ago what he later deemed it good to accomplish nor for that matter do it from the outset before the majority were injured came to be detained by the judge and remained below

10 καὶ πῶς ἔτι ἡ δημιουργία σταθήσεται εἰ δὲ ὅτι χρόνῳ λήξει λέγεις καὶ δυνατὸν ταύτην ὅλως λήγειν διὰ τῆς τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ἐπιμελείας οὐκοῦν ὁ ἀγαθὸς αἴτιος τῆς βλάβης ἔσται ὁ μὴ πάλαι ποιήσας ὅπερ ὕστερον ἀγαθὸν ἔδοξεν ἐπιτελεῖν μήτε μὴν πεποιηκὼς ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνέκαθεν πρὶν ἢ τοὺς πλείους ἀδικηθῆναι καὶ ἐν καθέξει αὐτοὺς γενέσθαι τοῦ κριτοῦ καὶ κάτω μεμενηκέναι

4281 He also presents things from sacred scripture which he does not understand aright deceiving the simple when he twists the words of the apostle which run Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law having become a curse for us He says If we were his he would not have bought what was his

4281 Πάλιν δὲ τὰ τῆς θείας γραφῆς οὐκ ὀρθῶς νοῶν προφέρει καὶ τοὺς ἀκεραίους ἐξαπατᾷ διαστρέφων τὸ τοῦ ἀποστόλου ῥητόν ὅτι laquoΧριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάραraquo καί φησιν εἰ ἦμεν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἂν τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ἠγόραζεν

2 But when he bought us he came into an alien 2 ἀγοράσας δὲ εἰς ἀλλότριον κόσμον ἦλθεν ἡμᾶς

world to redeem us who did not belong to him For we were made by another and for that reason he purchased us for his own life

ἐξαγοράσαι τοὺς οὐκ ὄντας αὐτοῦ ποίημα γὰρ ἦμεν ἑτέρου καὶ διὰ τοῦτο ἡμᾶς αὐτὸς ἠγόραζεν εἰς τὴν ἑαυτοῦ ζωήν

ἀγνοεῖ δὲ ὅλως ὁ ἠλίθιος ὅτι οὔτε Χριστὸς κατάρα γεγένηται (μὴ γένοιτο) ἀλλὰ τὴν κατάραν τὴν διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν ἀφεῖλεν ἑαυτὸν σταυρώσας καὶ γενόμενος θάνατος θανάτῳ [διὰ τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἡμῶν] καὶ κατάρα αὐτὸς τῇ κατάρᾳ γενόμενος διὸ οὐκ ἔστι Χριστὸς κατάρα ἀλλὰ τῆς κατάρας λύσις εὐλογία δὲ πᾶσι τοῖς εἰς αὐτὸν ἀληθῶς πεπιστευκόσιν οὕτω καὶ τὸ laquoἐξηγόρασενraquo οὐκ εἶπεν laquoἠγόρασενraquo οὔτε γὰρ εἰς ἀλλότριον ἦλθεν ἁρπάσαι ἢ ἀγοράσαι εἰ γὰρ ἠγόρασεν μὴ ἔχων ἠγόρασε καὶ ὡς πτωχὸς ἃ μὴ εἶχεν ἐκτήσατο καὶ εἰ ὁ κεκτημένος ἡμᾶς πέπρακεν ἀπορήσας πέπρακεν ἀπό τινος ἄρα δανειστοῦ ἐλαυνόμενος ἀλλ οὐκ ἔχει οὕτως οὔτε γὰρ εἶπεν laquoἠγόρασενraquo ἀλλ laquoἐξηγόρασενraquo ὅμοιον δὲ τούτῳ ὁ αὐτὸς ἅγιος ἀπόστολός φησιν laquoἐξαγοραζόμενοι τὸν καιρόν ὅτι αἱ ἡμέραι πονηραί εἰσιraquo καὶ οὐχ ἡμέρας ἀγοράζομεν οὐδὲ τιμὴν ἡμερῶν δίδομεν ἀλλὰ τὸ δι ὑπομονὴν καὶ τὸ μελλητικὸν τῆς μακροθυμίας σημαίνων τοῦτο ἔφη ὥστε τὸ ἐξηγόρασε τὴν ὑπόθεσιν ὑπέφηνεν τῆς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἀναδοχῆς ἐν κόσμῳ ἐνσάρκου παρουσίας ltδιgt ἧς ἀνεδέξατο ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν παθεῖν ὁ ἀπαθὴς ὢν θεός μένων ἐν τῇ ἰδίᾳ ἀπαθείᾳ τῆς αὐτοῦ θεότητος καὶ αὐτὸ ὃ ἀνεδέξατο ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν παθεῖν οὐκ ἀγοράζων ἡμᾶς ἀπ ἀλλοτρίων ἀλλὰ τὴν ὑπόθεσιν ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν τοῦ σταυροῦ ἀναδεξάμενος προαιρέσει καὶ οὐ μετ ἀνάγκης ὅθεν ἐλήλεγκται κατὰ πάντα τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ὁ λόγος καὶ πολλά ἐστι τὰ πρὸς ἀνατροπὴν τῆς τούτου μηχανῆς καὶ τραγῳδίας ἐξ εὐσεβοῦς λογισμοῦ καὶ εὐλόγου ὁρμώμενα ἐμφάσεως ἐν τῇ πρὸς αὐτὸν ἀντιρρήσει

4291a I will now proceed to his writings or rather to his mischief

4291a Ἐλεύσομαι δὲ εἰς τὰ ὑπ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα μᾶλλον δὲ ἐρρᾳδιουργημένα

1b He has as a gospel only Lukes with the beginning removed because of the Saviors conception and incarnation

1b οὗτος γὰρ ἔχει εὐαγγέλιον μόνον τὸ κατὰ Λουκᾶν περικεκομμένον ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς διὰ τὴν τοῦ σωτῆρος σύλληψιν καὶ τὴν ἔνσαρκον αὐτοῦ παρουσίαν

2a But he cut off not just the beginning 2a οὐ μόνον δὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἀπέτεμεν hellip2b but removed as well much of the conclusion and of the words of truth that come between and added other things to what was written But this is the only writing he accepts Lukes Gospel

2b ὁ λυμηνάμενος ἑαυτὸν ltμᾶλλονgt ἤπερ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦ τέλους καὶ τῶν μέσων πολλὰ περιέκοψε τῶν τῆς ἀληθείας λόγων ἄλλα δὲ παρὰ τὰ γεγραμμένα προστέθεικεν μόνῳ δὲ

κέχρηται τούτῳ τῷ χαρακτῆρι τῷ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίῳ

3 He has as well ten letters of the holy apostle which are all he accepts but he does not accept everything written in them Some of their passages he removes and some he alters These are the two books he accepts but he composed other writings of his own for those whom he led astray

3 ἔχει δὲ καὶ ἐπιστολὰς παρ αὐτῷ τοῦ ἁγίου ἀποστόλου δέκα αἷς μόναις κέχρηται οὐ πᾶσι δὲ τοῖς ἐν αὐταῖς γεγραμμένοις ἀλλὰ τινὰ αὐτῶν περιτέμνων τινὰ δὲ ἀλλοιώσας κεφάλαια ταύταις δὲ ταῖς δυσὶ βίβλοις κέχρηται ἄλλα δὲ συντάγματα ἀφ ἑαυτοῦ συνέταξε τοῖς ὑπ αὐτοῦ πλανωμένοις hellip

4 The letters mentioned by him are first to the Galatians second to the Corinthians third the second letter to the Corinthians fourth to the Romans fifth to the Thessalonians sixth the second letter to the Thessaloni-ans seventh to the Ephesians eighth to the Colossians ninth to Philemon and tenth to the Philippians He also has parts of the letter called to the Laodiceans

4 αἱ δὲ ἐπιστολαὶ αἱ παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμεναί εἰσι πρώτη μὲν πρὸς Γαλάτας δευτέρα δὲ πρὸς Κορινθίους τρίτη πρὸς Κορινθίους δευτέρα τετάρτη πρὸς Ῥωμαίους πέμπτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς ἕκτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς δευτέρα ἑβδόμη πρὸς Ἐφεσίους ὀγδόη πρὸς Κολασσαεῖς ἐνάτη πρὸς Φιλήμονα δεκάτη πρὸς Φιλιππησίους ἔχει δὲ καὶ τῆς πρὸς Λαοδικέας λεγομένης μέρηἐξ οὗπερ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ παρ αὐτῷ σῳζομένου τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν τοῦ ἀποστόλου δεῖξαι αὐτὸν σὺν θεῷ ἔχομεν ἀπατεῶνα καὶ πεπλανημένον καὶ ἀκρότατα διελέγξαι ἐξ αὐτῶν γὰρ ἀναμφιβόλως τῶν παρ αὐτοῦ ὁμολογουμένων ἀνατραπήσεται ἐκ γὰρ τῶν αὐτῶν ἔτι παρ αὐτῷ λειψάνων τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν εὑρισκομένων δειχθήσεται ὁ Χριστὸς τοῖς συνετοῖς μὴ ἀλλότριος εἶναι παλαιᾶς διαθήκης καὶ οἱ προφῆται οὖν οὐκ ἀλλότριοι ὄντες τῆς τοῦ κυρίου ἐνδημίας καὶ ὅτι ἀνάστασιν σαρκὸς ὁ ἀπόστολος κηρύττει καὶ δικαίους τοὺς προφήτας ὀνομάζει καὶ ἐν σῳζομένοις ὑπάρχοντας τοὺς περὶ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶ τῆς ἁγίας τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκκλησίας σωτήριά τε καὶ ἅγια καὶ ἐκ θεοῦ ἐστηριγμένα ἔν τε τῇ πίστει καὶ ἐν τῇ γνώσει καὶ ἐν ἐλπίδι καὶ διδασκαλίᾳ

42101 I shall here insert the work which I composed against him before I devoted myself to this work which I undertook at your urging my brothers

4210 Παραθήσομαι δὲ καὶ ἣν ἐποιησάμην κατ αὐτοῦ πραγματείαν πρὶν τοῦ ταύτην μου τὴν σύνταξιν ἐσπουδακέναι διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν τῶν ἀδελφῶν προτροπῆς ποιήσασθαι

2 Many years ago when I was examining the deceptions and ridiculous teaching which Marcion had thought up and was reading the very books I just mentioned which lthe had mutilatedgt the one he calls a gospel and ltthe onegt he calls the letters of the apostle I picked out and listed in order the passages from the two books from which

2 ἀπὸ ἐτῶν ἱκανῶν ἀνερευνῶν τὴν τούτου τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ἐπινενοημένην ψευδηγορίαν καὶ ληρώδη διδασκαλίαν αὐτὰς δὴ τὰς τοῦ προειρημένου βίβλους ἃς dagger κέκτηται μετὰ χεῖρας λαβών τό τε παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμενον εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ltτὸgt ἀποστολικὸν καλούμενον παρ αὐτῷ ἐξανθισάμενος καὶ ἀναλεξάμενος καθ εἱρμὸν ἀπὸ

he may be refuted and made a sketch of a work in which I put the passages in sequence and listed each one as 1 2 3

τῶν προειρημένων δύο βιβλίων τὰ ἐλέγξαι αὐτὸν δυνάμενα ἐδάφιόν τι συντάξεως ἐποιησάμην ἀκολούθως τάξας κεφάλαια καὶ ἐπιγράψας ἑκάστῃ ῥήσει ltαgt ltβgt ltγgt

3 And in this way I went through to the end listing the places where the wretch even yet in the passages which remain preserves words of the Savior and of the apostle which speak against him

3 καὶ οὕτως ἕως τέλους διεξῆλθον ἐν οἷς φαίνεται ἠλιθίως καθ ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι ταύτας τὰς παραμεινάσας τοῦ τε σωτῆρος καὶ τοῦ ἀποστόλου λέξεις φυλάττων

4 For some of them he in his villainy alters to a form different from the text of Lukes Gospel and the wording of the letters of the apostle

4 αἱ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν παρηλλαγμένως ὑπ αὐτοῦ ἐρρᾳδιουργήθησαν καὶ ὡς οὐκ εἶχεν τοῦ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀντίγραφον οὔτε ἡ τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ χαρακτῆρος ἔμφασις

5 Others are just as they appear in the gospel and in the apostle not altered by him but suitable to refute him ones in which ltthegt Old Testament is shown to be in harmony with the New and the New with the Old

5 ἄλλα δὲ φύσει ὡς ἔχει καὶ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ὁ ἀπόστολος μὴ ἀλλαγέντα ὑπ αὐτοῦ δυνάμενα δὲ αὐτὸν διελέγχειν δι ὧν δείκνυται ltἡgt παλαιὰ διαθήκη συμφωνοῦσα πρὸς τὴν νέαν καὶ ἡ καινὴ πρὸς τὴν παλαιὰν διαθήκην

6 Still other passages from the books show that Christ came in the flesh and became a complete human being among us

6 ἄλλαι δὲ πάλιν λέξεις τῶν αὐτῶν βιβλίων ὑποφαίνουσαι Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθέναι καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν τελείως ἐνηνθρωπηκέναι

7 Others again acknowledge the resurrection of the dead and God the one almighty Lord of all himself maker of heaven and earth and all that comes to be on the earth and neither falsify the calling of the gospel nor deny the maker and creator of all but point to him who is clearly acknowledged by the apostolic writing and the gospel message

7 ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλαι πάλιν ὁμολογοῦσαι τὴν τῶν νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν καὶ τὸν θεὸν ἕνα ὄντα κύριον πάντων παντοκράτορα αὐτὸν ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς γενομένων καὶ οὔτε παραχαράσσουσαι τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τὴν κλῆσιν οὔτε μὴν ἀρνούμεναι τὸν ποιητὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν τῶν πάντων ἀλλὰ δηλοῦσαι τὸν σαφῶς ὡμολογημένον ὑπὸ τοῦ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελικοῦ κηρύγματος

8 We next insert our treatise 8 καὶ ἔστιν τὰ ἡμῖν πεπραγματευμένα ἐν ὑποκειμένοις παρατιθέμενα ἅτινά ἐστι τάδε

[HD2108] 111 Those who make it their practice to obtain accurate information about the spurious ideas of the deceiver Marcion and to distinguish the devices fabricated by his herd will not be slow to peruse this collection

11 Ὅτῳ φίλον ἐστὶ τὰς τοῦ ἀπατηλοῦ Μαρκίωνος νόθους ἐπινοίας ἀκριβοῦν καὶ τὰς ἐπιπλάστους τοῦ αὐτοῦ βοσκήματος μηχανὰς διαγινώσκειν τούτῳ τῷ συλλελεγμένῳ πονήματι ἐντυχεῖν μὴ κατοκνείτω

2 For we have devoted ourselves to arranging here those passages from his gospel which may be used in refutation of his cunning villainy so that those who desire to peruse this work may use it as an exercise in acuity with a view to refuting the strange utterances dreamed up by him 3 For although the document containing Lukes Gospel ltdoes contain the text of that gospelgt because it is mutilated and has no beginning

middle or end it is like a garment eaten by many moths 4 For at the very outset everything written by Luke at the beginning where he says Inasmuch as many have undertaken and so forth and about Elizabeth and the angel bringing the good news to the Virgin Mary about John and Zechariah and the birth in Bethlehem the genealogy and the account of the baptismmdash5 All this he removes and skips over and puts as the beginning of the gospel In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar [Luke 31] and so forth 6 This is where he begins and once again he does not preserve the continuity of the text but as I said he falsifies some things and adds others out of proper sequence not proceeding in a straight line but wandering all about carelessly The passages are as followsi [Luke 514] Go show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your purification as Moses commanded that it may be a testimony to you instead of which the Savior said a testimony to themii [524] That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earthiii [65] The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbathiv [616f] Judas Iscariot who turned traitor But instead of He came down with them he has He came down among themv [619f] And all the crowd was trying to touch him And raising his eyes and so forthvi [623] Your fathers treated the prophets in the same wayvii [79] I tell you not even in Israel have I found so much faithviii [723] He altered Blessed is he who is not scandalized in me for he look it as directed against Johnix [727] He it is about whom it was written Behold I send my messenger before you[HD2109] x [736 38] And entering the Pharisees house he reclined But the woman who was a sinner standing behind by his feet washed his feet with her tears and wiped and kissed themxi |744| Again She has washed my feet with her

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

3 The Lord descended to the netherworld to save those associated with Cain Korah Dathan and Abiram as well as Esau and all the nations who did not know the God of the Jews

3 καὶ ἄχρι Ἅιδου καταβεβηκέναι τὸν κύριον ἵνα σώσῃ τοὺς περὶ Κάϊν καὶ Κορὲ καὶ Δαθὰν καὶ Ἀβειρών Ἠσαῦ τε καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔθνη τὰ μὴ ἐγνωκότα τὸν θεὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων

4 But those associated with Abel Enoch Noah Abraham Isaac Jacob and Moses David and Solomon he left there because he says they knew the God of the Jews who is maker and creator and did what he commanded and did not dedicate themselves to the invisible God

4 τοὺς δὲ περὶ Ἄβελ καὶ Ἐνὼχ καὶ Νῶε καὶ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ Μωυσέα Δαυίδ τε καὶ Σολομῶντα ἐκεῖ καταλελοιπέναι διότι ἐπέγνωσαν φησί τὸν θεὸν τῶν Ἰουδαίων ὄντα ποιητὴν καὶ κτιστήν καὶ τὰ καθήκοντα αὐτοῦ πεποιήκασι καὶ οὐχὶ τῷ θεῷ τῷ ἀοράτῳ ἑαυτοὺς προσανέθεντο

5 He also allows women to baptize For with them all is ridicule and nothing else since they dare even to celebrate the sacraments in the sight of catechumens

5 δίδωσι καὶ ἐπιτροπὴν γυναιξὶ βάπτισμα διδόναι παρ αὐτοῖς γὰρ πάντα χλεύης ἔμπλεα καὶ οὐδὲν ἕτερον ὁπότε καὶ τὰ μυστήρια ἐνώπιον κατηχουμένων ἐπιτελεῖν τολμῶσιν

6 He says also as I mentioned that resurrection is not of bodies but of souls and he restricts salvation to them he does not allow it for the bodies And he talks likewise about transmigrations of souls and reincarnations from bodies to bodies

6 ἀνάστασιν δὲ ὡς εἶπον οὗτος λέγει οὐχὶ σωμάτων ἀλλὰ ψυχῶν καὶ σωτηρίαν ταύταις ὁρίζεται οὐχὶ τοῖς σώμασιν καὶ μεταγγισμοὺς ὁμοίως τῶν ψυχῶν καὶ μετενσωματώσεις ἀπὸ σωμάτων εἰς σώματα φάσκει

τὸ δίκαιον ἢ τὸ φαῦλον ἔσται γὰρ ἐναντία καὶ οὐ δικαία ἡ κρίσις

4261 How will Marcions theory of the three principles hold together How will the one be found to be good who performs a work of salvation or of something else in the region of the one who is evil

4261 Πῶς δὲ συσταθήσεται ὁ παρ αὐτῷ τῷ Μαρκίωνι τριῶν ἀρχῶν λόγος πῶς δὲ [ὁ] ἀγαθὸς εὑρεθήσεται ltὁgt ἐν τοῖς τοῦ φαύλου μέρεσιν ἔργον ἐπιτελῶν ἢ σωτηρίας ἢ τῶν ἄλλων

2 For if the world is not his but he sent his only begotten into the world to take out of the world which is not his what he neither sowed nor made he will be found to be one who goes after what is not his or who suffers from poverty and has no possessions of his own but gives himself over to what belongs to another in order to provide for himself what he did not have before

2 εἰ γὰρ οὐκ αὐτοῦ τυγχάνει ὁ κόσμος ἀπέστειλεν δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ εἰς τὸν κόσμον λαβεῖν ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τοῦ ἀλλοτρίου ἃ μὴ αὐτὸς ἔσπειρεν μηδὲ ἐποίησεν εὑρεθήσεται ἢ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων ἐφιέμενος ἢ πενίαν ὑφιστάμενος καὶ ἴδια μὴ ἔχων ἐπὶ τὰ ἀλλότρια ἑαυτὸν ἐπιδιδούς ὅπως ἑαυτῷ προσπορίσηται ἃ μὴ πρότερον ἔχει

3 But how will the demiurge be a judge between the other two And whom can he judge For if he sits in judgment over the possessions of the one above he is more powerful than the one above since he brings into his court what belongs to the one above as Marcion teaches

3 πῶς δὲ κριτὴς ἀνὰ μέσον ἀμφοτέρων γενήσεται ὁ δημιουργός εἶτα τίνας ἔχει κρῖναι εἰ γὰρ τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἄνω σκευῶν δικαστὴς προκαθέζεται ἰσχύει ὑπὲρ τὸν ἄνω ἐπειδὴ φέρει εἰς μέσον τῶν αὐτοῦ κριτηρίων τὰ τοῦ ἄνω ὑπάρχοντα ὡς τῷ Μαρκίωνι ἔδοξε

4 And if he is really a judge he is just Now we will show from the word just that good and just mean the same

4 καὶ εἰ ὅλως κριτὴς τυγχάνει δίκαιός ἐστι δείξομεν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ δικαίου ὀνόματος ὅτι ταὐτόν ἐστι τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ τὸ δίκαιον

5 For whatever is just is also good For it is from being good that he grants with justice and truth what is good to the one who has done good and he will no longer be opposed to the one who is good in respect to what is good since he furnishes in justice what is good to the one who is good and the rebuke of punishment to the one who is wicked

5 πᾶν γὰρ ὃ δίκαιόν ἐστι τοῦτο καὶ ἀγαθόν ἀπὸ γὰρ τοῦ ἀγαθὸν εἶναι τὸ ἀγαθὸν χαρίζεται δικαίως μετὰ ἀληθείας τῷ ἀγαθὰ δράσαντι καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται πρὸς τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐναντίος τῷ ἀγαθῷ κατὰ δικαιοσύνην τὸ ἀγαθὸν τῷ ἀγαθῷ παρέχων καὶ τῷ φαύλῳ τὴν ἐπιτιμίαν τῆς τιμωρίας

6 Nor further will he be good who renders the good reward at the end to the one who is wicked and does not repent even if for the present he causes his sun to rise on the good and the bad and furnishes his moisture to both evil and good people because of their present freedom of will

6 οὐδὲ πάλιν ἀγαθὸς ἂν εἴη ὁ τῷ πονηρῷ τὸν ἀγαθὸν μισθὸν ἐπὶ τῷ τέλει ἀποδιδοὺς μὴ μετανοοῦντι εἰ καὶ ἐν τῷ παρόντι ἀνατέλλοι αὐτοῦ τὸν ἥλιον ἐπὶ ἀγαθοὺς καὶ φαύλους καὶ τὸν ὑετὸν αὐτοῦ παρέχοι διὰ τὸ νῦν αὐτεξούσιον τοῖς τε πονηροῖς καὶ ἀγαθοῖς ἀνθρώποις

7 For that nature cannot be good and just which belongs to the one who furnishes to the one who is evil the reward of salvation in the future age and does not rather hate what is wicked and evil

7 ἀγαθὴ γὰρ οὐκέτι ἔσται φύσις καὶ δικαία τοῦ τῷ πονηρῷ μισθὸν ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι αἰῶνι σωτηρίας παρέχοντος καὶ οὐ μᾶλλον μισοῦντος τὸ πονηρὸν καὶ φαῦλον

8 Now their third evil god if he has the power to do evil and to prevail against those in the world whether they are of those that are good from above or belong to the just one who is

8 ὁ δὲ τρίτος εὑρισκόμενος παρ αὐτῷ πονηρός εἰ ἔχει τὴν ἐξουσίαν τὰ πονηρὰ ἐργάζεσθαι καὶ κατισχύειν τῶν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἢ τῶν ἄνωθεν ἀγαθῶν ἢ τοῦ μέσου δικαίου εὑρεθήσεται

intermediate will turn out to be mightier than the two gods of whom Marcion speaks since he has the power to seize what is not his

ἰσχυρότερος οὗτος τῶν δύο θεῶν τῶν παρὰ Μαρκίωνι λεγομένων ἐπειδὴ ἐξουσιάζει ἁρπάζειν τὰ ἀλλότρια

9 And the other two will stand finally condemned as powerless in comparison with the one the one who is wicked since they cannot resist and rescue their possessions from the one who seizes them and converts them to wickedness

9 καὶ ἀδρανεῖς λοιπὸν καταψηφισθήσονται οἱ δύο παρὰ τὸν ἕνα πονηρόν οἱ μὴ δυνάμενοι ἀντέχειν καὶ ῥύεσθαι ἀπὸ τοῦ ἁρπάζοντος τὰ αὐτῶν ὄντα καὶ εἰς πονηρίαν μεταβάλλοντος

4271 Let us consider the matter in yet another way that we may bring to light the imposters empty-headed ridicule If the evil one is entirely evil but seizes those who are good from the good god and those who are just from the just god and does not seize only those who belong to himself then the evil one will turn out not to be evil since he grasps for those who are good and presses his claim to them as to those who are superior

4271 ἄλλως δὲ πάλιν νοήσωμεν ἵνα τὴν χλεύην τοῦ ἀγύρτου φωράσωμεν τῆς ματαιοφροσύνης εἰ γὰρ ὅλως ὁ πονηρὸς πονηρὸς ὑπάρχει ἁρπάζει δὲ τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ καὶ τοὺς δικαίους ἀπὸ τοῦ δικαίου ἰδίους δὲ οὐχ ἁρπάζει μόνους εὑρεθήσεται ὁ πονηρὸς οὐκέτι πονηρός τῶν ἀγαθῶν ὀρεγόμενος καὶ ἐπιδικαζόμενος ὡς βελτιόνων

2a And if as well he judges those who belong to him and exacts retribution from those who do wrong then he cannot be evil he who is judge of the evil

2a εἰ δὲ καὶ τοὺς ἰδίους κρίνει τιμωρίαν τε τοὺς ἀδικήσαντας ἀπαιτεῖ οὐκέτι πονηρὸς ἔσται ὁ πονηρῶν δικαστὴς ὑπάρχων

8 If the two principles act as citizens in the realm of the one the demiurge with the evil god ltcontinually activegt in the realm of the demiurge and the Christ of the good god resident there as well then the judge will turn out to be not only judge and demiurge but good as well since he allows the two to do as they like with his possessions Or else he will turn out to be powerless and unable to hinder the aliens who plunder his property

8 εἰ δὲ ἐν τοῖς τοῦ ἑνός λέγω δὴ τοῦ δημιουργοῦ αἱ δύο ἀρχαί εἰσιν ἐμπολιτευόμεναι ὅ τε πονηρὸς ἐν τοῖς τοῦ δημιουργοῦ dagger χώραις τε καὶ χώροις καὶ ὁ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ Χριστὸς ἐπιδημήσας οὐκέτι ἄρα κριτὴς καὶ δημιουργὸς μόνον ὁ κριτὴς εὑρεθήσεται ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀγαθός συγχωρῶν τοῖς δυσὶν εἰς τὰ ἴδια ποιεῖν ὃ βούλονται ἢ ἀδρανὴς εὑρεθήσεται καὶ μὴ ἰσχύων κωλῦσαι τῶν ἰδίων τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους ἅρπαγας

9 But if he is inferior in power then creation will turn out to be not something enduring but something that has long ago vanished since each day it is snatched away by the evil god to his own realm and by the good one to the realm above And how can creation still endure

9 εἰ δὲ καὶ ἥσσων τῇ δυνάμει ἐστίν οὐκέτι εὑρεθήσεται ἡ δημιουργία συνεστῶσα ἀλλ ἐξέλιπεν ἔκπαλαι ἀναρπαζομένη καθ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ὑπό τε τοῦ πονηροῦ εἰς τὸ ἴδιον μέρος καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ εἰς τὰ ἄνω

10 If you say that it will cease in time to exist and that through the care exercised by the good god it can cease to exist completely then will not the good god lie responsible for the damage done as he did not do long ago what he later deemed it good to accomplish nor for that matter do it from the outset before the majority were injured came to be detained by the judge and remained below

10 καὶ πῶς ἔτι ἡ δημιουργία σταθήσεται εἰ δὲ ὅτι χρόνῳ λήξει λέγεις καὶ δυνατὸν ταύτην ὅλως λήγειν διὰ τῆς τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ἐπιμελείας οὐκοῦν ὁ ἀγαθὸς αἴτιος τῆς βλάβης ἔσται ὁ μὴ πάλαι ποιήσας ὅπερ ὕστερον ἀγαθὸν ἔδοξεν ἐπιτελεῖν μήτε μὴν πεποιηκὼς ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνέκαθεν πρὶν ἢ τοὺς πλείους ἀδικηθῆναι καὶ ἐν καθέξει αὐτοὺς γενέσθαι τοῦ κριτοῦ καὶ κάτω μεμενηκέναι

4281 He also presents things from sacred scripture which he does not understand aright deceiving the simple when he twists the words of the apostle which run Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law having become a curse for us He says If we were his he would not have bought what was his

4281 Πάλιν δὲ τὰ τῆς θείας γραφῆς οὐκ ὀρθῶς νοῶν προφέρει καὶ τοὺς ἀκεραίους ἐξαπατᾷ διαστρέφων τὸ τοῦ ἀποστόλου ῥητόν ὅτι laquoΧριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάραraquo καί φησιν εἰ ἦμεν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἂν τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ἠγόραζεν

2 But when he bought us he came into an alien 2 ἀγοράσας δὲ εἰς ἀλλότριον κόσμον ἦλθεν ἡμᾶς

world to redeem us who did not belong to him For we were made by another and for that reason he purchased us for his own life

4291a I will now proceed to his writings or rather to his mischief

4291a Ἐλεύσομαι δὲ εἰς τὰ ὑπ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα μᾶλλον δὲ ἐρρᾳδιουργημένα

1b He has as a gospel only Lukes with the beginning removed because of the Saviors conception and incarnation

1b οὗτος γὰρ ἔχει εὐαγγέλιον μόνον τὸ κατὰ Λουκᾶν περικεκομμένον ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς διὰ τὴν τοῦ σωτῆρος σύλληψιν καὶ τὴν ἔνσαρκον αὐτοῦ παρουσίαν

2a But he cut off not just the beginning 2a οὐ μόνον δὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἀπέτεμεν hellip2b but removed as well much of the conclusion and of the words of truth that come between and added other things to what was written But this is the only writing he accepts Lukes Gospel

2b ὁ λυμηνάμενος ἑαυτὸν ltμᾶλλονgt ἤπερ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦ τέλους καὶ τῶν μέσων πολλὰ περιέκοψε τῶν τῆς ἀληθείας λόγων ἄλλα δὲ παρὰ τὰ γεγραμμένα προστέθεικεν μόνῳ δὲ

κέχρηται τούτῳ τῷ χαρακτῆρι τῷ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίῳ

3 He has as well ten letters of the holy apostle which are all he accepts but he does not accept everything written in them Some of their passages he removes and some he alters These are the two books he accepts but he composed other writings of his own for those whom he led astray

3 ἔχει δὲ καὶ ἐπιστολὰς παρ αὐτῷ τοῦ ἁγίου ἀποστόλου δέκα αἷς μόναις κέχρηται οὐ πᾶσι δὲ τοῖς ἐν αὐταῖς γεγραμμένοις ἀλλὰ τινὰ αὐτῶν περιτέμνων τινὰ δὲ ἀλλοιώσας κεφάλαια ταύταις δὲ ταῖς δυσὶ βίβλοις κέχρηται ἄλλα δὲ συντάγματα ἀφ ἑαυτοῦ συνέταξε τοῖς ὑπ αὐτοῦ πλανωμένοις hellip

4 The letters mentioned by him are first to the Galatians second to the Corinthians third the second letter to the Corinthians fourth to the Romans fifth to the Thessalonians sixth the second letter to the Thessaloni-ans seventh to the Ephesians eighth to the Colossians ninth to Philemon and tenth to the Philippians He also has parts of the letter called to the Laodiceans

4 αἱ δὲ ἐπιστολαὶ αἱ παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμεναί εἰσι πρώτη μὲν πρὸς Γαλάτας δευτέρα δὲ πρὸς Κορινθίους τρίτη πρὸς Κορινθίους δευτέρα τετάρτη πρὸς Ῥωμαίους πέμπτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς ἕκτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς δευτέρα ἑβδόμη πρὸς Ἐφεσίους ὀγδόη πρὸς Κολασσαεῖς ἐνάτη πρὸς Φιλήμονα δεκάτη πρὸς Φιλιππησίους ἔχει δὲ καὶ τῆς πρὸς Λαοδικέας λεγομένης μέρηἐξ οὗπερ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ παρ αὐτῷ σῳζομένου τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν τοῦ ἀποστόλου δεῖξαι αὐτὸν σὺν θεῷ ἔχομεν ἀπατεῶνα καὶ πεπλανημένον καὶ ἀκρότατα διελέγξαι ἐξ αὐτῶν γὰρ ἀναμφιβόλως τῶν παρ αὐτοῦ ὁμολογουμένων ἀνατραπήσεται ἐκ γὰρ τῶν αὐτῶν ἔτι παρ αὐτῷ λειψάνων τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν εὑρισκομένων δειχθήσεται ὁ Χριστὸς τοῖς συνετοῖς μὴ ἀλλότριος εἶναι παλαιᾶς διαθήκης καὶ οἱ προφῆται οὖν οὐκ ἀλλότριοι ὄντες τῆς τοῦ κυρίου ἐνδημίας καὶ ὅτι ἀνάστασιν σαρκὸς ὁ ἀπόστολος κηρύττει καὶ δικαίους τοὺς προφήτας ὀνομάζει καὶ ἐν σῳζομένοις ὑπάρχοντας τοὺς περὶ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶ τῆς ἁγίας τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκκλησίας σωτήριά τε καὶ ἅγια καὶ ἐκ θεοῦ ἐστηριγμένα ἔν τε τῇ πίστει καὶ ἐν τῇ γνώσει καὶ ἐν ἐλπίδι καὶ διδασκαλίᾳ

42101 I shall here insert the work which I composed against him before I devoted myself to this work which I undertook at your urging my brothers

4210 Παραθήσομαι δὲ καὶ ἣν ἐποιησάμην κατ αὐτοῦ πραγματείαν πρὶν τοῦ ταύτην μου τὴν σύνταξιν ἐσπουδακέναι διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν τῶν ἀδελφῶν προτροπῆς ποιήσασθαι

2 Many years ago when I was examining the deceptions and ridiculous teaching which Marcion had thought up and was reading the very books I just mentioned which lthe had mutilatedgt the one he calls a gospel and ltthe onegt he calls the letters of the apostle I picked out and listed in order the passages from the two books from which

2 ἀπὸ ἐτῶν ἱκανῶν ἀνερευνῶν τὴν τούτου τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ἐπινενοημένην ψευδηγορίαν καὶ ληρώδη διδασκαλίαν αὐτὰς δὴ τὰς τοῦ προειρημένου βίβλους ἃς dagger κέκτηται μετὰ χεῖρας λαβών τό τε παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμενον εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ltτὸgt ἀποστολικὸν καλούμενον παρ αὐτῷ ἐξανθισάμενος καὶ ἀναλεξάμενος καθ εἱρμὸν ἀπὸ

he may be refuted and made a sketch of a work in which I put the passages in sequence and listed each one as 1 2 3

τῶν προειρημένων δύο βιβλίων τὰ ἐλέγξαι αὐτὸν δυνάμενα ἐδάφιόν τι συντάξεως ἐποιησάμην ἀκολούθως τάξας κεφάλαια καὶ ἐπιγράψας ἑκάστῃ ῥήσει ltαgt ltβgt ltγgt

3 And in this way I went through to the end listing the places where the wretch even yet in the passages which remain preserves words of the Savior and of the apostle which speak against him

3 καὶ οὕτως ἕως τέλους διεξῆλθον ἐν οἷς φαίνεται ἠλιθίως καθ ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι ταύτας τὰς παραμεινάσας τοῦ τε σωτῆρος καὶ τοῦ ἀποστόλου λέξεις φυλάττων

4 For some of them he in his villainy alters to a form different from the text of Lukes Gospel and the wording of the letters of the apostle

4 αἱ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν παρηλλαγμένως ὑπ αὐτοῦ ἐρρᾳδιουργήθησαν καὶ ὡς οὐκ εἶχεν τοῦ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀντίγραφον οὔτε ἡ τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ χαρακτῆρος ἔμφασις

5 Others are just as they appear in the gospel and in the apostle not altered by him but suitable to refute him ones in which ltthegt Old Testament is shown to be in harmony with the New and the New with the Old

5 ἄλλα δὲ φύσει ὡς ἔχει καὶ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ὁ ἀπόστολος μὴ ἀλλαγέντα ὑπ αὐτοῦ δυνάμενα δὲ αὐτὸν διελέγχειν δι ὧν δείκνυται ltἡgt παλαιὰ διαθήκη συμφωνοῦσα πρὸς τὴν νέαν καὶ ἡ καινὴ πρὸς τὴν παλαιὰν διαθήκην

6 Still other passages from the books show that Christ came in the flesh and became a complete human being among us

6 ἄλλαι δὲ πάλιν λέξεις τῶν αὐτῶν βιβλίων ὑποφαίνουσαι Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθέναι καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν τελείως ἐνηνθρωπηκέναι

7 Others again acknowledge the resurrection of the dead and God the one almighty Lord of all himself maker of heaven and earth and all that comes to be on the earth and neither falsify the calling of the gospel nor deny the maker and creator of all but point to him who is clearly acknowledged by the apostolic writing and the gospel message

7 ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλαι πάλιν ὁμολογοῦσαι τὴν τῶν νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν καὶ τὸν θεὸν ἕνα ὄντα κύριον πάντων παντοκράτορα αὐτὸν ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς γενομένων καὶ οὔτε παραχαράσσουσαι τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τὴν κλῆσιν οὔτε μὴν ἀρνούμεναι τὸν ποιητὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν τῶν πάντων ἀλλὰ δηλοῦσαι τὸν σαφῶς ὡμολογημένον ὑπὸ τοῦ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελικοῦ κηρύγματος

8 We next insert our treatise 8 καὶ ἔστιν τὰ ἡμῖν πεπραγματευμένα ἐν ὑποκειμένοις παρατιθέμενα ἅτινά ἐστι τάδε

[HD2108] 111 Those who make it their practice to obtain accurate information about the spurious ideas of the deceiver Marcion and to distinguish the devices fabricated by his herd will not be slow to peruse this collection

11 Ὅτῳ φίλον ἐστὶ τὰς τοῦ ἀπατηλοῦ Μαρκίωνος νόθους ἐπινοίας ἀκριβοῦν καὶ τὰς ἐπιπλάστους τοῦ αὐτοῦ βοσκήματος μηχανὰς διαγινώσκειν τούτῳ τῷ συλλελεγμένῳ πονήματι ἐντυχεῖν μὴ κατοκνείτω

2 For we have devoted ourselves to arranging here those passages from his gospel which may be used in refutation of his cunning villainy so that those who desire to peruse this work may use it as an exercise in acuity with a view to refuting the strange utterances dreamed up by him 3 For although the document containing Lukes Gospel ltdoes contain the text of that gospelgt because it is mutilated and has no beginning

middle or end it is like a garment eaten by many moths 4 For at the very outset everything written by Luke at the beginning where he says Inasmuch as many have undertaken and so forth and about Elizabeth and the angel bringing the good news to the Virgin Mary about John and Zechariah and the birth in Bethlehem the genealogy and the account of the baptismmdash5 All this he removes and skips over and puts as the beginning of the gospel In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar [Luke 31] and so forth 6 This is where he begins and once again he does not preserve the continuity of the text but as I said he falsifies some things and adds others out of proper sequence not proceeding in a straight line but wandering all about carelessly The passages are as followsi [Luke 514] Go show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your purification as Moses commanded that it may be a testimony to you instead of which the Savior said a testimony to themii [524] That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earthiii [65] The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbathiv [616f] Judas Iscariot who turned traitor But instead of He came down with them he has He came down among themv [619f] And all the crowd was trying to touch him And raising his eyes and so forthvi [623] Your fathers treated the prophets in the same wayvii [79] I tell you not even in Israel have I found so much faithviii [723] He altered Blessed is he who is not scandalized in me for he look it as directed against Johnix [727] He it is about whom it was written Behold I send my messenger before you[HD2109] x [736 38] And entering the Pharisees house he reclined But the woman who was a sinner standing behind by his feet washed his feet with her tears and wiped and kissed themxi |744| Again She has washed my feet with her

given to it But he does not have the part about Nineveh the queen of the South and Solomonxxvi [1142] Instead of You disregard the judgment of God he has You disregard the call of God [κλησιν ldquocallrdquo instead of κρισιν ldquojudgementrdquo][HD2111] xxvii [1147] Woe to you for you build the tombs of the prophets and your fathers killed themxxviii [ll49ff] He does not have For this reason the Wisdom of God said I am sending them prophets or the part about the blood of ccha riah and Abel and the prophets that it will IK- required of (his generationxxix [124ff| I say to my friends do not (ear those who kill the body fear the one who after killing has power to cast into Gehenna He does not have Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies And not one of them is forgotten in Gods sightxxx [128] Instead of he will acknowledge in the presence of Gods angels he says in the presence of Godxxxi [1228] He does not have God clothes the grassxxxii [1230] Your Father knows that you need these things these things of the flesh noticexxxiii [1231] But seek the kingdom of God and all these things will be given you besidesxxxiv [1232] Instead of your Father he has the Father[HD2112 ] xxxv [1238] Instead of in the second or third watch he has in the evening watchxxxvi [1246] The master of that slave will arrive and cut him up and place his portion with the unbelieversxxxvii [1258] Lest he drag you off to the judge and the judge hand you over to the officerxxxviii [131-9] He falsifies the part from where it says Some people came and told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices down to where he speaks of the eighteen people in Siloam who died in the tower as well as the words unless you repent and ltwhat followsgt down to the parable of the fig tree about which the vinedresser said I will dig and lay down manure and if it does not bear fruit cut it

downxxxix [1316] This daughter of Abraham whom Satan boundxl [1328] He also falsifies Then you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God Instead he puts When you see all the just in the kingdom of God but yourselves thrustmdashbut he puts heldmdashoutside there there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth[HD2113 ] xli [1329-35] He also falsifies They will come from the east and west and recline in the kingdom and The last will be first and The Pharisees came saying Go away from here for Herod wants to kill you and Ik-said Go tell that fox down to where he says It is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem and Jerusalem Jerusalem who kill the prophets and stone those sent and Often have I wanted to gather your children like a bird and Your house is left to you and You will not see me until you say blessed xlii [1511ff] He also falsifies the whole parable of the two sons the one who received the portion of the property and spent it in debauchery and the otherxliii [1616| The law and the prophets arc until John and everyone forces his way into the kingdomxliv [1622| About the rich man and Lazarus the poor man thai he was taken away by the angels to Abrahams bosomxlv |1625| Now he is consoled Lazarus that isxlvi [1629 31] Abraham said They have Moses and the prophets let them hear them for they will not even hear the one raised from the deadxlvii [1710] He falsifies Say We are useless slaves we have done what we were supposed to doxlviii [1712 14 427] When the ten lepers met him But he removes much of the passage and puts He sent them away saying Show yourselves to the priests And he substitutes certain words for others saying There were many lepers in the days of the prophet Elisha and none was cured [HD2114] except for Naaman the Syrian

xlix [1722] Days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Manl [1818ff] Someone said to him Good master what must I do to inherit eternal life But he said Do not call me good There is one who is good and that is God He adds the Father and instead of you know the commandments he says I know the commandmentsli [1835 38 42] It-happened that as he was approaching Jericho a blind man called out Jesus son of David have pity on me And when he was cured he said Your faith has saved you lii [1831-33] he falsifies Taking aside the Twelve he said Behold we are going up to Jerusalem and all that is written in the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished For he will be handed over and killed and on the third day rise All this he falsifies[HD2115] liii [1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house will be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of robbersliv [2019] And they sought to lay hands on him and they were afraidIv [209ff 17] He also removes what is said about the vineyard given over to vinedressers and the words What is the meaning of the stone which the builders rejected Ivi [2037f] He removes But that the dead are raised Moses shows at the bush when he speaks of the Lord the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob He is God of the living and of the deadIvii [2037f] He does not have But that the dead are raised Moses as well shows when he speaks of the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob the God of the livingIviii [2118] He also falsifies not a hair of your head will perishlix [2121f] He also falsifies then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains and so forth because of the words that follow until at that is written is fulfilledIx [224] He spoke with the officers about how he could betray him to themIxi [228] And he said to Peter and the rest Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

τὸ δίκαιον ἢ τὸ φαῦλον ἔσται γὰρ ἐναντία καὶ οὐ δικαία ἡ κρίσις

4261 How will Marcions theory of the three principles hold together How will the one be found to be good who performs a work of salvation or of something else in the region of the one who is evil

4261 Πῶς δὲ συσταθήσεται ὁ παρ αὐτῷ τῷ Μαρκίωνι τριῶν ἀρχῶν λόγος πῶς δὲ [ὁ] ἀγαθὸς εὑρεθήσεται ltὁgt ἐν τοῖς τοῦ φαύλου μέρεσιν ἔργον ἐπιτελῶν ἢ σωτηρίας ἢ τῶν ἄλλων

2 For if the world is not his but he sent his only begotten into the world to take out of the world which is not his what he neither sowed nor made he will be found to be one who goes after what is not his or who suffers from poverty and has no possessions of his own but gives himself over to what belongs to another in order to provide for himself what he did not have before

2 εἰ γὰρ οὐκ αὐτοῦ τυγχάνει ὁ κόσμος ἀπέστειλεν δὲ αὐτοῦ τὸν μονογενῆ εἰς τὸν κόσμον λαβεῖν ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τοῦ ἀλλοτρίου ἃ μὴ αὐτὸς ἔσπειρεν μηδὲ ἐποίησεν εὑρεθήσεται ἢ τῶν ἀλλοτρίων ἐφιέμενος ἢ πενίαν ὑφιστάμενος καὶ ἴδια μὴ ἔχων ἐπὶ τὰ ἀλλότρια ἑαυτὸν ἐπιδιδούς ὅπως ἑαυτῷ προσπορίσηται ἃ μὴ πρότερον ἔχει

3 But how will the demiurge be a judge between the other two And whom can he judge For if he sits in judgment over the possessions of the one above he is more powerful than the one above since he brings into his court what belongs to the one above as Marcion teaches

3 πῶς δὲ κριτὴς ἀνὰ μέσον ἀμφοτέρων γενήσεται ὁ δημιουργός εἶτα τίνας ἔχει κρῖναι εἰ γὰρ τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ ἄνω σκευῶν δικαστὴς προκαθέζεται ἰσχύει ὑπὲρ τὸν ἄνω ἐπειδὴ φέρει εἰς μέσον τῶν αὐτοῦ κριτηρίων τὰ τοῦ ἄνω ὑπάρχοντα ὡς τῷ Μαρκίωνι ἔδοξε

4 And if he is really a judge he is just Now we will show from the word just that good and just mean the same

4 καὶ εἰ ὅλως κριτὴς τυγχάνει δίκαιός ἐστι δείξομεν δὲ ἀπὸ τοῦ δικαίου ὀνόματος ὅτι ταὐτόν ἐστι τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ τὸ δίκαιον

5 For whatever is just is also good For it is from being good that he grants with justice and truth what is good to the one who has done good and he will no longer be opposed to the one who is good in respect to what is good since he furnishes in justice what is good to the one who is good and the rebuke of punishment to the one who is wicked

5 πᾶν γὰρ ὃ δίκαιόν ἐστι τοῦτο καὶ ἀγαθόν ἀπὸ γὰρ τοῦ ἀγαθὸν εἶναι τὸ ἀγαθὸν χαρίζεται δικαίως μετὰ ἀληθείας τῷ ἀγαθὰ δράσαντι καὶ οὐκέτι ἔσται πρὸς τὸ ἀγαθὸν ἐναντίος τῷ ἀγαθῷ κατὰ δικαιοσύνην τὸ ἀγαθὸν τῷ ἀγαθῷ παρέχων καὶ τῷ φαύλῳ τὴν ἐπιτιμίαν τῆς τιμωρίας

6 Nor further will he be good who renders the good reward at the end to the one who is wicked and does not repent even if for the present he causes his sun to rise on the good and the bad and furnishes his moisture to both evil and good people because of their present freedom of will

6 οὐδὲ πάλιν ἀγαθὸς ἂν εἴη ὁ τῷ πονηρῷ τὸν ἀγαθὸν μισθὸν ἐπὶ τῷ τέλει ἀποδιδοὺς μὴ μετανοοῦντι εἰ καὶ ἐν τῷ παρόντι ἀνατέλλοι αὐτοῦ τὸν ἥλιον ἐπὶ ἀγαθοὺς καὶ φαύλους καὶ τὸν ὑετὸν αὐτοῦ παρέχοι διὰ τὸ νῦν αὐτεξούσιον τοῖς τε πονηροῖς καὶ ἀγαθοῖς ἀνθρώποις

7 For that nature cannot be good and just which belongs to the one who furnishes to the one who is evil the reward of salvation in the future age and does not rather hate what is wicked and evil

7 ἀγαθὴ γὰρ οὐκέτι ἔσται φύσις καὶ δικαία τοῦ τῷ πονηρῷ μισθὸν ἐν τῷ μέλλοντι αἰῶνι σωτηρίας παρέχοντος καὶ οὐ μᾶλλον μισοῦντος τὸ πονηρὸν καὶ φαῦλον

8 Now their third evil god if he has the power to do evil and to prevail against those in the world whether they are of those that are good from above or belong to the just one who is

8 ὁ δὲ τρίτος εὑρισκόμενος παρ αὐτῷ πονηρός εἰ ἔχει τὴν ἐξουσίαν τὰ πονηρὰ ἐργάζεσθαι καὶ κατισχύειν τῶν ἐν τῷ κόσμῳ ἢ τῶν ἄνωθεν ἀγαθῶν ἢ τοῦ μέσου δικαίου εὑρεθήσεται

intermediate will turn out to be mightier than the two gods of whom Marcion speaks since he has the power to seize what is not his

ἰσχυρότερος οὗτος τῶν δύο θεῶν τῶν παρὰ Μαρκίωνι λεγομένων ἐπειδὴ ἐξουσιάζει ἁρπάζειν τὰ ἀλλότρια

9 And the other two will stand finally condemned as powerless in comparison with the one the one who is wicked since they cannot resist and rescue their possessions from the one who seizes them and converts them to wickedness

9 καὶ ἀδρανεῖς λοιπὸν καταψηφισθήσονται οἱ δύο παρὰ τὸν ἕνα πονηρόν οἱ μὴ δυνάμενοι ἀντέχειν καὶ ῥύεσθαι ἀπὸ τοῦ ἁρπάζοντος τὰ αὐτῶν ὄντα καὶ εἰς πονηρίαν μεταβάλλοντος

4271 Let us consider the matter in yet another way that we may bring to light the imposters empty-headed ridicule If the evil one is entirely evil but seizes those who are good from the good god and those who are just from the just god and does not seize only those who belong to himself then the evil one will turn out not to be evil since he grasps for those who are good and presses his claim to them as to those who are superior

2a And if as well he judges those who belong to him and exacts retribution from those who do wrong then he cannot be evil he who is judge of the evil

2a εἰ δὲ καὶ τοὺς ἰδίους κρίνει τιμωρίαν τε τοὺς ἀδικήσαντας ἀπαιτεῖ οὐκέτι πονηρὸς ἔσται ὁ πονηρῶν δικαστὴς ὑπάρχων

Χριστὸν ἀποστείλας ἵνα τὰ ἀλλότρια λάβῃ6 καὶ ποῦ ὁ ὅρος ὁ διορίζων τὰς τρεῖς ἀρχὰς κατὰ τὸν τοῦ ἀγύρτου τῆς ὑποθέσεως λόγον ζητηθήσεται γὰρ τέταρτός τις ἐπιεικέστατος καὶ τῶν τριῶν σοφώτερος ὁριογνώμων τε καὶ ἐπιστήμων ὃς τὰ μέτρα ἑκάστῳ διένειμέν τε καὶ τοὺς τρεῖς εἰρηνοποίησεν ἵνα μὴ στασιάσαιεν πρὸς ἀλλήλους μηδὲ εἰς τὰ ἄλλου ἄλλος ἀποστέλλοι7 καὶ οὗτος μὲν πείσας τὰς τρεῖς ἀρχὰς εὑρεθήσεται τέταρτος καὶ σοφώτερος καὶ ἐπιεικέστερος καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ἐν ἰδίῳ τόπῳ πάλιν ζητηθήσεται ἀφ οὗπερ εἰς μέσον ἦλθεν τῶν τριῶν καὶ ἑκάστῳ τὸ μέρος σοφῶς διώρισεν ἵνα μὴ ἀλλήλους ἀδικοῖεν

8 If the two principles act as citizens in the realm of the one the demiurge with the evil god ltcontinually activegt in the realm of the demiurge and the Christ of the good god resident there as well then the judge will turn out to be not only judge and demiurge but good as well since he allows the two to do as they like with his possessions Or else he will turn out to be powerless and unable to hinder the aliens who plunder his property

8 εἰ δὲ ἐν τοῖς τοῦ ἑνός λέγω δὴ τοῦ δημιουργοῦ αἱ δύο ἀρχαί εἰσιν ἐμπολιτευόμεναι ὅ τε πονηρὸς ἐν τοῖς τοῦ δημιουργοῦ dagger χώραις τε καὶ χώροις καὶ ὁ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ Χριστὸς ἐπιδημήσας οὐκέτι ἄρα κριτὴς καὶ δημιουργὸς μόνον ὁ κριτὴς εὑρεθήσεται ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀγαθός συγχωρῶν τοῖς δυσὶν εἰς τὰ ἴδια ποιεῖν ὃ βούλονται ἢ ἀδρανὴς εὑρεθήσεται καὶ μὴ ἰσχύων κωλῦσαι τῶν ἰδίων τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους ἅρπαγας

9 But if he is inferior in power then creation will turn out to be not something enduring but something that has long ago vanished since each day it is snatched away by the evil god to his own realm and by the good one to the realm above And how can creation still endure

9 εἰ δὲ καὶ ἥσσων τῇ δυνάμει ἐστίν οὐκέτι εὑρεθήσεται ἡ δημιουργία συνεστῶσα ἀλλ ἐξέλιπεν ἔκπαλαι ἀναρπαζομένη καθ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ὑπό τε τοῦ πονηροῦ εἰς τὸ ἴδιον μέρος καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ εἰς τὰ ἄνω

10 If you say that it will cease in time to exist and that through the care exercised by the good god it can cease to exist completely then will not the good god lie responsible for the damage done as he did not do long ago what he later deemed it good to accomplish nor for that matter do it from the outset before the majority were injured came to be detained by the judge and remained below

10 καὶ πῶς ἔτι ἡ δημιουργία σταθήσεται εἰ δὲ ὅτι χρόνῳ λήξει λέγεις καὶ δυνατὸν ταύτην ὅλως λήγειν διὰ τῆς τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ἐπιμελείας οὐκοῦν ὁ ἀγαθὸς αἴτιος τῆς βλάβης ἔσται ὁ μὴ πάλαι ποιήσας ὅπερ ὕστερον ἀγαθὸν ἔδοξεν ἐπιτελεῖν μήτε μὴν πεποιηκὼς ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνέκαθεν πρὶν ἢ τοὺς πλείους ἀδικηθῆναι καὶ ἐν καθέξει αὐτοὺς γενέσθαι τοῦ κριτοῦ καὶ κάτω μεμενηκέναι

4281 He also presents things from sacred scripture which he does not understand aright deceiving the simple when he twists the words of the apostle which run Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law having become a curse for us He says If we were his he would not have bought what was his

4281 Πάλιν δὲ τὰ τῆς θείας γραφῆς οὐκ ὀρθῶς νοῶν προφέρει καὶ τοὺς ἀκεραίους ἐξαπατᾷ διαστρέφων τὸ τοῦ ἀποστόλου ῥητόν ὅτι laquoΧριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάραraquo καί φησιν εἰ ἦμεν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἂν τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ἠγόραζεν

2 But when he bought us he came into an alien 2 ἀγοράσας δὲ εἰς ἀλλότριον κόσμον ἦλθεν ἡμᾶς

world to redeem us who did not belong to him For we were made by another and for that reason he purchased us for his own life

4291a I will now proceed to his writings or rather to his mischief

4291a Ἐλεύσομαι δὲ εἰς τὰ ὑπ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα μᾶλλον δὲ ἐρρᾳδιουργημένα

1b He has as a gospel only Lukes with the beginning removed because of the Saviors conception and incarnation

1b οὗτος γὰρ ἔχει εὐαγγέλιον μόνον τὸ κατὰ Λουκᾶν περικεκομμένον ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς διὰ τὴν τοῦ σωτῆρος σύλληψιν καὶ τὴν ἔνσαρκον αὐτοῦ παρουσίαν

2a But he cut off not just the beginning 2a οὐ μόνον δὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἀπέτεμεν hellip2b but removed as well much of the conclusion and of the words of truth that come between and added other things to what was written But this is the only writing he accepts Lukes Gospel

2b ὁ λυμηνάμενος ἑαυτὸν ltμᾶλλονgt ἤπερ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦ τέλους καὶ τῶν μέσων πολλὰ περιέκοψε τῶν τῆς ἀληθείας λόγων ἄλλα δὲ παρὰ τὰ γεγραμμένα προστέθεικεν μόνῳ δὲ

κέχρηται τούτῳ τῷ χαρακτῆρι τῷ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίῳ

3 He has as well ten letters of the holy apostle which are all he accepts but he does not accept everything written in them Some of their passages he removes and some he alters These are the two books he accepts but he composed other writings of his own for those whom he led astray

3 ἔχει δὲ καὶ ἐπιστολὰς παρ αὐτῷ τοῦ ἁγίου ἀποστόλου δέκα αἷς μόναις κέχρηται οὐ πᾶσι δὲ τοῖς ἐν αὐταῖς γεγραμμένοις ἀλλὰ τινὰ αὐτῶν περιτέμνων τινὰ δὲ ἀλλοιώσας κεφάλαια ταύταις δὲ ταῖς δυσὶ βίβλοις κέχρηται ἄλλα δὲ συντάγματα ἀφ ἑαυτοῦ συνέταξε τοῖς ὑπ αὐτοῦ πλανωμένοις hellip

4 The letters mentioned by him are first to the Galatians second to the Corinthians third the second letter to the Corinthians fourth to the Romans fifth to the Thessalonians sixth the second letter to the Thessaloni-ans seventh to the Ephesians eighth to the Colossians ninth to Philemon and tenth to the Philippians He also has parts of the letter called to the Laodiceans

4 αἱ δὲ ἐπιστολαὶ αἱ παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμεναί εἰσι πρώτη μὲν πρὸς Γαλάτας δευτέρα δὲ πρὸς Κορινθίους τρίτη πρὸς Κορινθίους δευτέρα τετάρτη πρὸς Ῥωμαίους πέμπτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς ἕκτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς δευτέρα ἑβδόμη πρὸς Ἐφεσίους ὀγδόη πρὸς Κολασσαεῖς ἐνάτη πρὸς Φιλήμονα δεκάτη πρὸς Φιλιππησίους ἔχει δὲ καὶ τῆς πρὸς Λαοδικέας λεγομένης μέρηἐξ οὗπερ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ παρ αὐτῷ σῳζομένου τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν τοῦ ἀποστόλου δεῖξαι αὐτὸν σὺν θεῷ ἔχομεν ἀπατεῶνα καὶ πεπλανημένον καὶ ἀκρότατα διελέγξαι ἐξ αὐτῶν γὰρ ἀναμφιβόλως τῶν παρ αὐτοῦ ὁμολογουμένων ἀνατραπήσεται ἐκ γὰρ τῶν αὐτῶν ἔτι παρ αὐτῷ λειψάνων τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν εὑρισκομένων δειχθήσεται ὁ Χριστὸς τοῖς συνετοῖς μὴ ἀλλότριος εἶναι παλαιᾶς διαθήκης καὶ οἱ προφῆται οὖν οὐκ ἀλλότριοι ὄντες τῆς τοῦ κυρίου ἐνδημίας καὶ ὅτι ἀνάστασιν σαρκὸς ὁ ἀπόστολος κηρύττει καὶ δικαίους τοὺς προφήτας ὀνομάζει καὶ ἐν σῳζομένοις ὑπάρχοντας τοὺς περὶ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶ τῆς ἁγίας τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκκλησίας σωτήριά τε καὶ ἅγια καὶ ἐκ θεοῦ ἐστηριγμένα ἔν τε τῇ πίστει καὶ ἐν τῇ γνώσει καὶ ἐν ἐλπίδι καὶ διδασκαλίᾳ

42101 I shall here insert the work which I composed against him before I devoted myself to this work which I undertook at your urging my brothers

4210 Παραθήσομαι δὲ καὶ ἣν ἐποιησάμην κατ αὐτοῦ πραγματείαν πρὶν τοῦ ταύτην μου τὴν σύνταξιν ἐσπουδακέναι διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν τῶν ἀδελφῶν προτροπῆς ποιήσασθαι

2 Many years ago when I was examining the deceptions and ridiculous teaching which Marcion had thought up and was reading the very books I just mentioned which lthe had mutilatedgt the one he calls a gospel and ltthe onegt he calls the letters of the apostle I picked out and listed in order the passages from the two books from which

2 ἀπὸ ἐτῶν ἱκανῶν ἀνερευνῶν τὴν τούτου τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ἐπινενοημένην ψευδηγορίαν καὶ ληρώδη διδασκαλίαν αὐτὰς δὴ τὰς τοῦ προειρημένου βίβλους ἃς dagger κέκτηται μετὰ χεῖρας λαβών τό τε παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμενον εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ltτὸgt ἀποστολικὸν καλούμενον παρ αὐτῷ ἐξανθισάμενος καὶ ἀναλεξάμενος καθ εἱρμὸν ἀπὸ

he may be refuted and made a sketch of a work in which I put the passages in sequence and listed each one as 1 2 3

τῶν προειρημένων δύο βιβλίων τὰ ἐλέγξαι αὐτὸν δυνάμενα ἐδάφιόν τι συντάξεως ἐποιησάμην ἀκολούθως τάξας κεφάλαια καὶ ἐπιγράψας ἑκάστῃ ῥήσει ltαgt ltβgt ltγgt

3 And in this way I went through to the end listing the places where the wretch even yet in the passages which remain preserves words of the Savior and of the apostle which speak against him

3 καὶ οὕτως ἕως τέλους διεξῆλθον ἐν οἷς φαίνεται ἠλιθίως καθ ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι ταύτας τὰς παραμεινάσας τοῦ τε σωτῆρος καὶ τοῦ ἀποστόλου λέξεις φυλάττων

4 For some of them he in his villainy alters to a form different from the text of Lukes Gospel and the wording of the letters of the apostle

4 αἱ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν παρηλλαγμένως ὑπ αὐτοῦ ἐρρᾳδιουργήθησαν καὶ ὡς οὐκ εἶχεν τοῦ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀντίγραφον οὔτε ἡ τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ χαρακτῆρος ἔμφασις

5 Others are just as they appear in the gospel and in the apostle not altered by him but suitable to refute him ones in which ltthegt Old Testament is shown to be in harmony with the New and the New with the Old

5 ἄλλα δὲ φύσει ὡς ἔχει καὶ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ὁ ἀπόστολος μὴ ἀλλαγέντα ὑπ αὐτοῦ δυνάμενα δὲ αὐτὸν διελέγχειν δι ὧν δείκνυται ltἡgt παλαιὰ διαθήκη συμφωνοῦσα πρὸς τὴν νέαν καὶ ἡ καινὴ πρὸς τὴν παλαιὰν διαθήκην

6 Still other passages from the books show that Christ came in the flesh and became a complete human being among us

6 ἄλλαι δὲ πάλιν λέξεις τῶν αὐτῶν βιβλίων ὑποφαίνουσαι Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθέναι καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν τελείως ἐνηνθρωπηκέναι

7 Others again acknowledge the resurrection of the dead and God the one almighty Lord of all himself maker of heaven and earth and all that comes to be on the earth and neither falsify the calling of the gospel nor deny the maker and creator of all but point to him who is clearly acknowledged by the apostolic writing and the gospel message

7 ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλαι πάλιν ὁμολογοῦσαι τὴν τῶν νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν καὶ τὸν θεὸν ἕνα ὄντα κύριον πάντων παντοκράτορα αὐτὸν ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς γενομένων καὶ οὔτε παραχαράσσουσαι τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τὴν κλῆσιν οὔτε μὴν ἀρνούμεναι τὸν ποιητὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν τῶν πάντων ἀλλὰ δηλοῦσαι τὸν σαφῶς ὡμολογημένον ὑπὸ τοῦ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελικοῦ κηρύγματος

8 We next insert our treatise 8 καὶ ἔστιν τὰ ἡμῖν πεπραγματευμένα ἐν ὑποκειμένοις παρατιθέμενα ἅτινά ἐστι τάδε

[HD2108] 111 Those who make it their practice to obtain accurate information about the spurious ideas of the deceiver Marcion and to distinguish the devices fabricated by his herd will not be slow to peruse this collection

11 Ὅτῳ φίλον ἐστὶ τὰς τοῦ ἀπατηλοῦ Μαρκίωνος νόθους ἐπινοίας ἀκριβοῦν καὶ τὰς ἐπιπλάστους τοῦ αὐτοῦ βοσκήματος μηχανὰς διαγινώσκειν τούτῳ τῷ συλλελεγμένῳ πονήματι ἐντυχεῖν μὴ κατοκνείτω

2 For we have devoted ourselves to arranging here those passages from his gospel which may be used in refutation of his cunning villainy so that those who desire to peruse this work may use it as an exercise in acuity with a view to refuting the strange utterances dreamed up by him 3 For although the document containing Lukes Gospel ltdoes contain the text of that gospelgt because it is mutilated and has no beginning

middle or end it is like a garment eaten by many moths 4 For at the very outset everything written by Luke at the beginning where he says Inasmuch as many have undertaken and so forth and about Elizabeth and the angel bringing the good news to the Virgin Mary about John and Zechariah and the birth in Bethlehem the genealogy and the account of the baptismmdash5 All this he removes and skips over and puts as the beginning of the gospel In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar [Luke 31] and so forth 6 This is where he begins and once again he does not preserve the continuity of the text but as I said he falsifies some things and adds others out of proper sequence not proceeding in a straight line but wandering all about carelessly The passages are as followsi [Luke 514] Go show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your purification as Moses commanded that it may be a testimony to you instead of which the Savior said a testimony to themii [524] That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earthiii [65] The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbathiv [616f] Judas Iscariot who turned traitor But instead of He came down with them he has He came down among themv [619f] And all the crowd was trying to touch him And raising his eyes and so forthvi [623] Your fathers treated the prophets in the same wayvii [79] I tell you not even in Israel have I found so much faithviii [723] He altered Blessed is he who is not scandalized in me for he look it as directed against Johnix [727] He it is about whom it was written Behold I send my messenger before you[HD2109] x [736 38] And entering the Pharisees house he reclined But the woman who was a sinner standing behind by his feet washed his feet with her tears and wiped and kissed themxi |744| Again She has washed my feet with her

downxxxix [1316] This daughter of Abraham whom Satan boundxl [1328] He also falsifies Then you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God Instead he puts When you see all the just in the kingdom of God but yourselves thrustmdashbut he puts heldmdashoutside there there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth[HD2113 ] xli [1329-35] He also falsifies They will come from the east and west and recline in the kingdom and The last will be first and The Pharisees came saying Go away from here for Herod wants to kill you and Ik-said Go tell that fox down to where he says It is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem and Jerusalem Jerusalem who kill the prophets and stone those sent and Often have I wanted to gather your children like a bird and Your house is left to you and You will not see me until you say blessed xlii [1511ff] He also falsifies the whole parable of the two sons the one who received the portion of the property and spent it in debauchery and the otherxliii [1616| The law and the prophets arc until John and everyone forces his way into the kingdomxliv [1622| About the rich man and Lazarus the poor man thai he was taken away by the angels to Abrahams bosomxlv |1625| Now he is consoled Lazarus that isxlvi [1629 31] Abraham said They have Moses and the prophets let them hear them for they will not even hear the one raised from the deadxlvii [1710] He falsifies Say We are useless slaves we have done what we were supposed to doxlviii [1712 14 427] When the ten lepers met him But he removes much of the passage and puts He sent them away saying Show yourselves to the priests And he substitutes certain words for others saying There were many lepers in the days of the prophet Elisha and none was cured [HD2114] except for Naaman the Syrian

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

intermediate will turn out to be mightier than the two gods of whom Marcion speaks since he has the power to seize what is not his

ἰσχυρότερος οὗτος τῶν δύο θεῶν τῶν παρὰ Μαρκίωνι λεγομένων ἐπειδὴ ἐξουσιάζει ἁρπάζειν τὰ ἀλλότρια

9 And the other two will stand finally condemned as powerless in comparison with the one the one who is wicked since they cannot resist and rescue their possessions from the one who seizes them and converts them to wickedness

9 καὶ ἀδρανεῖς λοιπὸν καταψηφισθήσονται οἱ δύο παρὰ τὸν ἕνα πονηρόν οἱ μὴ δυνάμενοι ἀντέχειν καὶ ῥύεσθαι ἀπὸ τοῦ ἁρπάζοντος τὰ αὐτῶν ὄντα καὶ εἰς πονηρίαν μεταβάλλοντος

4271 Let us consider the matter in yet another way that we may bring to light the imposters empty-headed ridicule If the evil one is entirely evil but seizes those who are good from the good god and those who are just from the just god and does not seize only those who belong to himself then the evil one will turn out not to be evil since he grasps for those who are good and presses his claim to them as to those who are superior

4271 ἄλλως δὲ πάλιν νοήσωμεν ἵνα τὴν χλεύην τοῦ ἀγύρτου φωράσωμεν τῆς ματαιοφροσύνης εἰ γὰρ ὅλως ὁ πονηρὸς πονηρὸς ὑπάρχει ἁρπάζει δὲ τοὺς ἀγαθοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ καὶ τοὺς δικαίους ἀπὸ τοῦ δικαίου ἰδίους δὲ οὐχ ἁρπάζει μόνους εὑρεθήσεται ὁ πονηρὸς οὐκέτι πονηρός τῶν ἀγαθῶν ὀρεγόμενος καὶ ἐπιδικαζόμενος ὡς βελτιόνων

2a And if as well he judges those who belong to him and exacts retribution from those who do wrong then he cannot be evil he who is judge of the evil

8 If the two principles act as citizens in the realm of the one the demiurge with the evil god ltcontinually activegt in the realm of the demiurge and the Christ of the good god resident there as well then the judge will turn out to be not only judge and demiurge but good as well since he allows the two to do as they like with his possessions Or else he will turn out to be powerless and unable to hinder the aliens who plunder his property

8 εἰ δὲ ἐν τοῖς τοῦ ἑνός λέγω δὴ τοῦ δημιουργοῦ αἱ δύο ἀρχαί εἰσιν ἐμπολιτευόμεναι ὅ τε πονηρὸς ἐν τοῖς τοῦ δημιουργοῦ dagger χώραις τε καὶ χώροις καὶ ὁ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ Χριστὸς ἐπιδημήσας οὐκέτι ἄρα κριτὴς καὶ δημιουργὸς μόνον ὁ κριτὴς εὑρεθήσεται ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀγαθός συγχωρῶν τοῖς δυσὶν εἰς τὰ ἴδια ποιεῖν ὃ βούλονται ἢ ἀδρανὴς εὑρεθήσεται καὶ μὴ ἰσχύων κωλῦσαι τῶν ἰδίων τοὺς ἀλλοτρίους ἅρπαγας

9 But if he is inferior in power then creation will turn out to be not something enduring but something that has long ago vanished since each day it is snatched away by the evil god to his own realm and by the good one to the realm above And how can creation still endure

9 εἰ δὲ καὶ ἥσσων τῇ δυνάμει ἐστίν οὐκέτι εὑρεθήσεται ἡ δημιουργία συνεστῶσα ἀλλ ἐξέλιπεν ἔκπαλαι ἀναρπαζομένη καθ ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ὑπό τε τοῦ πονηροῦ εἰς τὸ ἴδιον μέρος καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ εἰς τὰ ἄνω

10 If you say that it will cease in time to exist and that through the care exercised by the good god it can cease to exist completely then will not the good god lie responsible for the damage done as he did not do long ago what he later deemed it good to accomplish nor for that matter do it from the outset before the majority were injured came to be detained by the judge and remained below

10 καὶ πῶς ἔτι ἡ δημιουργία σταθήσεται εἰ δὲ ὅτι χρόνῳ λήξει λέγεις καὶ δυνατὸν ταύτην ὅλως λήγειν διὰ τῆς τοῦ ἀγαθοῦ ἐπιμελείας οὐκοῦν ὁ ἀγαθὸς αἴτιος τῆς βλάβης ἔσται ὁ μὴ πάλαι ποιήσας ὅπερ ὕστερον ἀγαθὸν ἔδοξεν ἐπιτελεῖν μήτε μὴν πεποιηκὼς ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνέκαθεν πρὶν ἢ τοὺς πλείους ἀδικηθῆναι καὶ ἐν καθέξει αὐτοὺς γενέσθαι τοῦ κριτοῦ καὶ κάτω μεμενηκέναι

4281 He also presents things from sacred scripture which he does not understand aright deceiving the simple when he twists the words of the apostle which run Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law having become a curse for us He says If we were his he would not have bought what was his

4281 Πάλιν δὲ τὰ τῆς θείας γραφῆς οὐκ ὀρθῶς νοῶν προφέρει καὶ τοὺς ἀκεραίους ἐξαπατᾷ διαστρέφων τὸ τοῦ ἀποστόλου ῥητόν ὅτι laquoΧριστὸς ἡμᾶς ἐξηγόρασεν ἐκ τῆς κατάρας τοῦ νόμου γενόμενος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν κατάραraquo καί φησιν εἰ ἦμεν αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἂν τὸ ἑαυτοῦ ἠγόραζεν

2 But when he bought us he came into an alien 2 ἀγοράσας δὲ εἰς ἀλλότριον κόσμον ἦλθεν ἡμᾶς

world to redeem us who did not belong to him For we were made by another and for that reason he purchased us for his own life

4291a I will now proceed to his writings or rather to his mischief

4291a Ἐλεύσομαι δὲ εἰς τὰ ὑπ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα μᾶλλον δὲ ἐρρᾳδιουργημένα

1b He has as a gospel only Lukes with the beginning removed because of the Saviors conception and incarnation

1b οὗτος γὰρ ἔχει εὐαγγέλιον μόνον τὸ κατὰ Λουκᾶν περικεκομμένον ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς διὰ τὴν τοῦ σωτῆρος σύλληψιν καὶ τὴν ἔνσαρκον αὐτοῦ παρουσίαν

2a But he cut off not just the beginning 2a οὐ μόνον δὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἀπέτεμεν hellip2b but removed as well much of the conclusion and of the words of truth that come between and added other things to what was written But this is the only writing he accepts Lukes Gospel

2b ὁ λυμηνάμενος ἑαυτὸν ltμᾶλλονgt ἤπερ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦ τέλους καὶ τῶν μέσων πολλὰ περιέκοψε τῶν τῆς ἀληθείας λόγων ἄλλα δὲ παρὰ τὰ γεγραμμένα προστέθεικεν μόνῳ δὲ

κέχρηται τούτῳ τῷ χαρακτῆρι τῷ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίῳ

3 He has as well ten letters of the holy apostle which are all he accepts but he does not accept everything written in them Some of their passages he removes and some he alters These are the two books he accepts but he composed other writings of his own for those whom he led astray

3 ἔχει δὲ καὶ ἐπιστολὰς παρ αὐτῷ τοῦ ἁγίου ἀποστόλου δέκα αἷς μόναις κέχρηται οὐ πᾶσι δὲ τοῖς ἐν αὐταῖς γεγραμμένοις ἀλλὰ τινὰ αὐτῶν περιτέμνων τινὰ δὲ ἀλλοιώσας κεφάλαια ταύταις δὲ ταῖς δυσὶ βίβλοις κέχρηται ἄλλα δὲ συντάγματα ἀφ ἑαυτοῦ συνέταξε τοῖς ὑπ αὐτοῦ πλανωμένοις hellip

4 The letters mentioned by him are first to the Galatians second to the Corinthians third the second letter to the Corinthians fourth to the Romans fifth to the Thessalonians sixth the second letter to the Thessaloni-ans seventh to the Ephesians eighth to the Colossians ninth to Philemon and tenth to the Philippians He also has parts of the letter called to the Laodiceans

4 αἱ δὲ ἐπιστολαὶ αἱ παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμεναί εἰσι πρώτη μὲν πρὸς Γαλάτας δευτέρα δὲ πρὸς Κορινθίους τρίτη πρὸς Κορινθίους δευτέρα τετάρτη πρὸς Ῥωμαίους πέμπτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς ἕκτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς δευτέρα ἑβδόμη πρὸς Ἐφεσίους ὀγδόη πρὸς Κολασσαεῖς ἐνάτη πρὸς Φιλήμονα δεκάτη πρὸς Φιλιππησίους ἔχει δὲ καὶ τῆς πρὸς Λαοδικέας λεγομένης μέρηἐξ οὗπερ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ παρ αὐτῷ σῳζομένου τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν τοῦ ἀποστόλου δεῖξαι αὐτὸν σὺν θεῷ ἔχομεν ἀπατεῶνα καὶ πεπλανημένον καὶ ἀκρότατα διελέγξαι ἐξ αὐτῶν γὰρ ἀναμφιβόλως τῶν παρ αὐτοῦ ὁμολογουμένων ἀνατραπήσεται ἐκ γὰρ τῶν αὐτῶν ἔτι παρ αὐτῷ λειψάνων τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν εὑρισκομένων δειχθήσεται ὁ Χριστὸς τοῖς συνετοῖς μὴ ἀλλότριος εἶναι παλαιᾶς διαθήκης καὶ οἱ προφῆται οὖν οὐκ ἀλλότριοι ὄντες τῆς τοῦ κυρίου ἐνδημίας καὶ ὅτι ἀνάστασιν σαρκὸς ὁ ἀπόστολος κηρύττει καὶ δικαίους τοὺς προφήτας ὀνομάζει καὶ ἐν σῳζομένοις ὑπάρχοντας τοὺς περὶ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶ τῆς ἁγίας τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκκλησίας σωτήριά τε καὶ ἅγια καὶ ἐκ θεοῦ ἐστηριγμένα ἔν τε τῇ πίστει καὶ ἐν τῇ γνώσει καὶ ἐν ἐλπίδι καὶ διδασκαλίᾳ

42101 I shall here insert the work which I composed against him before I devoted myself to this work which I undertook at your urging my brothers

4210 Παραθήσομαι δὲ καὶ ἣν ἐποιησάμην κατ αὐτοῦ πραγματείαν πρὶν τοῦ ταύτην μου τὴν σύνταξιν ἐσπουδακέναι διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν τῶν ἀδελφῶν προτροπῆς ποιήσασθαι

2 Many years ago when I was examining the deceptions and ridiculous teaching which Marcion had thought up and was reading the very books I just mentioned which lthe had mutilatedgt the one he calls a gospel and ltthe onegt he calls the letters of the apostle I picked out and listed in order the passages from the two books from which

2 ἀπὸ ἐτῶν ἱκανῶν ἀνερευνῶν τὴν τούτου τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ἐπινενοημένην ψευδηγορίαν καὶ ληρώδη διδασκαλίαν αὐτὰς δὴ τὰς τοῦ προειρημένου βίβλους ἃς dagger κέκτηται μετὰ χεῖρας λαβών τό τε παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμενον εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ltτὸgt ἀποστολικὸν καλούμενον παρ αὐτῷ ἐξανθισάμενος καὶ ἀναλεξάμενος καθ εἱρμὸν ἀπὸ

he may be refuted and made a sketch of a work in which I put the passages in sequence and listed each one as 1 2 3

τῶν προειρημένων δύο βιβλίων τὰ ἐλέγξαι αὐτὸν δυνάμενα ἐδάφιόν τι συντάξεως ἐποιησάμην ἀκολούθως τάξας κεφάλαια καὶ ἐπιγράψας ἑκάστῃ ῥήσει ltαgt ltβgt ltγgt

3 And in this way I went through to the end listing the places where the wretch even yet in the passages which remain preserves words of the Savior and of the apostle which speak against him

3 καὶ οὕτως ἕως τέλους διεξῆλθον ἐν οἷς φαίνεται ἠλιθίως καθ ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι ταύτας τὰς παραμεινάσας τοῦ τε σωτῆρος καὶ τοῦ ἀποστόλου λέξεις φυλάττων

4 For some of them he in his villainy alters to a form different from the text of Lukes Gospel and the wording of the letters of the apostle

4 αἱ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν παρηλλαγμένως ὑπ αὐτοῦ ἐρρᾳδιουργήθησαν καὶ ὡς οὐκ εἶχεν τοῦ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀντίγραφον οὔτε ἡ τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ χαρακτῆρος ἔμφασις

5 Others are just as they appear in the gospel and in the apostle not altered by him but suitable to refute him ones in which ltthegt Old Testament is shown to be in harmony with the New and the New with the Old

5 ἄλλα δὲ φύσει ὡς ἔχει καὶ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ὁ ἀπόστολος μὴ ἀλλαγέντα ὑπ αὐτοῦ δυνάμενα δὲ αὐτὸν διελέγχειν δι ὧν δείκνυται ltἡgt παλαιὰ διαθήκη συμφωνοῦσα πρὸς τὴν νέαν καὶ ἡ καινὴ πρὸς τὴν παλαιὰν διαθήκην

6 Still other passages from the books show that Christ came in the flesh and became a complete human being among us

6 ἄλλαι δὲ πάλιν λέξεις τῶν αὐτῶν βιβλίων ὑποφαίνουσαι Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθέναι καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν τελείως ἐνηνθρωπηκέναι

7 Others again acknowledge the resurrection of the dead and God the one almighty Lord of all himself maker of heaven and earth and all that comes to be on the earth and neither falsify the calling of the gospel nor deny the maker and creator of all but point to him who is clearly acknowledged by the apostolic writing and the gospel message

7 ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλαι πάλιν ὁμολογοῦσαι τὴν τῶν νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν καὶ τὸν θεὸν ἕνα ὄντα κύριον πάντων παντοκράτορα αὐτὸν ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς γενομένων καὶ οὔτε παραχαράσσουσαι τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τὴν κλῆσιν οὔτε μὴν ἀρνούμεναι τὸν ποιητὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν τῶν πάντων ἀλλὰ δηλοῦσαι τὸν σαφῶς ὡμολογημένον ὑπὸ τοῦ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελικοῦ κηρύγματος

8 We next insert our treatise 8 καὶ ἔστιν τὰ ἡμῖν πεπραγματευμένα ἐν ὑποκειμένοις παρατιθέμενα ἅτινά ἐστι τάδε

[HD2108] 111 Those who make it their practice to obtain accurate information about the spurious ideas of the deceiver Marcion and to distinguish the devices fabricated by his herd will not be slow to peruse this collection

11 Ὅτῳ φίλον ἐστὶ τὰς τοῦ ἀπατηλοῦ Μαρκίωνος νόθους ἐπινοίας ἀκριβοῦν καὶ τὰς ἐπιπλάστους τοῦ αὐτοῦ βοσκήματος μηχανὰς διαγινώσκειν τούτῳ τῷ συλλελεγμένῳ πονήματι ἐντυχεῖν μὴ κατοκνείτω

2 For we have devoted ourselves to arranging here those passages from his gospel which may be used in refutation of his cunning villainy so that those who desire to peruse this work may use it as an exercise in acuity with a view to refuting the strange utterances dreamed up by him 3 For although the document containing Lukes Gospel ltdoes contain the text of that gospelgt because it is mutilated and has no beginning

middle or end it is like a garment eaten by many moths 4 For at the very outset everything written by Luke at the beginning where he says Inasmuch as many have undertaken and so forth and about Elizabeth and the angel bringing the good news to the Virgin Mary about John and Zechariah and the birth in Bethlehem the genealogy and the account of the baptismmdash5 All this he removes and skips over and puts as the beginning of the gospel In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar [Luke 31] and so forth 6 This is where he begins and once again he does not preserve the continuity of the text but as I said he falsifies some things and adds others out of proper sequence not proceeding in a straight line but wandering all about carelessly The passages are as followsi [Luke 514] Go show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your purification as Moses commanded that it may be a testimony to you instead of which the Savior said a testimony to themii [524] That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earthiii [65] The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbathiv [616f] Judas Iscariot who turned traitor But instead of He came down with them he has He came down among themv [619f] And all the crowd was trying to touch him And raising his eyes and so forthvi [623] Your fathers treated the prophets in the same wayvii [79] I tell you not even in Israel have I found so much faithviii [723] He altered Blessed is he who is not scandalized in me for he look it as directed against Johnix [727] He it is about whom it was written Behold I send my messenger before you[HD2109] x [736 38] And entering the Pharisees house he reclined But the woman who was a sinner standing behind by his feet washed his feet with her tears and wiped and kissed themxi |744| Again She has washed my feet with her

given to it But he does not have the part about Nineveh the queen of the South and Solomonxxvi [1142] Instead of You disregard the judgment of God he has You disregard the call of God [κλησιν ldquocallrdquo instead of κρισιν ldquojudgementrdquo][HD2111] xxvii [1147] Woe to you for you build the tombs of the prophets and your fathers killed themxxviii [ll49ff] He does not have For this reason the Wisdom of God said I am sending them prophets or the part about the blood of ccha riah and Abel and the prophets that it will IK- required of (his generationxxix [124ff| I say to my friends do not (ear those who kill the body fear the one who after killing has power to cast into Gehenna He does not have Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies And not one of them is forgotten in Gods sightxxx [128] Instead of he will acknowledge in the presence of Gods angels he says in the presence of Godxxxi [1228] He does not have God clothes the grassxxxii [1230] Your Father knows that you need these things these things of the flesh noticexxxiii [1231] But seek the kingdom of God and all these things will be given you besidesxxxiv [1232] Instead of your Father he has the Father[HD2112 ] xxxv [1238] Instead of in the second or third watch he has in the evening watchxxxvi [1246] The master of that slave will arrive and cut him up and place his portion with the unbelieversxxxvii [1258] Lest he drag you off to the judge and the judge hand you over to the officerxxxviii [131-9] He falsifies the part from where it says Some people came and told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices down to where he speaks of the eighteen people in Siloam who died in the tower as well as the words unless you repent and ltwhat followsgt down to the parable of the fig tree about which the vinedresser said I will dig and lay down manure and if it does not bear fruit cut it

downxxxix [1316] This daughter of Abraham whom Satan boundxl [1328] He also falsifies Then you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God Instead he puts When you see all the just in the kingdom of God but yourselves thrustmdashbut he puts heldmdashoutside there there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth[HD2113 ] xli [1329-35] He also falsifies They will come from the east and west and recline in the kingdom and The last will be first and The Pharisees came saying Go away from here for Herod wants to kill you and Ik-said Go tell that fox down to where he says It is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem and Jerusalem Jerusalem who kill the prophets and stone those sent and Often have I wanted to gather your children like a bird and Your house is left to you and You will not see me until you say blessed xlii [1511ff] He also falsifies the whole parable of the two sons the one who received the portion of the property and spent it in debauchery and the otherxliii [1616| The law and the prophets arc until John and everyone forces his way into the kingdomxliv [1622| About the rich man and Lazarus the poor man thai he was taken away by the angels to Abrahams bosomxlv |1625| Now he is consoled Lazarus that isxlvi [1629 31] Abraham said They have Moses and the prophets let them hear them for they will not even hear the one raised from the deadxlvii [1710] He falsifies Say We are useless slaves we have done what we were supposed to doxlviii [1712 14 427] When the ten lepers met him But he removes much of the passage and puts He sent them away saying Show yourselves to the priests And he substitutes certain words for others saying There were many lepers in the days of the prophet Elisha and none was cured [HD2114] except for Naaman the Syrian

xlix [1722] Days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Manl [1818ff] Someone said to him Good master what must I do to inherit eternal life But he said Do not call me good There is one who is good and that is God He adds the Father and instead of you know the commandments he says I know the commandmentsli [1835 38 42] It-happened that as he was approaching Jericho a blind man called out Jesus son of David have pity on me And when he was cured he said Your faith has saved you lii [1831-33] he falsifies Taking aside the Twelve he said Behold we are going up to Jerusalem and all that is written in the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished For he will be handed over and killed and on the third day rise All this he falsifies[HD2115] liii [1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house will be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of robbersliv [2019] And they sought to lay hands on him and they were afraidIv [209ff 17] He also removes what is said about the vineyard given over to vinedressers and the words What is the meaning of the stone which the builders rejected Ivi [2037f] He removes But that the dead are raised Moses shows at the bush when he speaks of the Lord the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob He is God of the living and of the deadIvii [2037f] He does not have But that the dead are raised Moses as well shows when he speaks of the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob the God of the livingIviii [2118] He also falsifies not a hair of your head will perishlix [2121f] He also falsifies then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains and so forth because of the words that follow until at that is written is fulfilledIx [224] He spoke with the officers about how he could betray him to themIxi [228] And he said to Peter and the rest Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

4291a I will now proceed to his writings or rather to his mischief

4291a Ἐλεύσομαι δὲ εἰς τὰ ὑπ αὐτοῦ γεγραμμένα μᾶλλον δὲ ἐρρᾳδιουργημένα

1b He has as a gospel only Lukes with the beginning removed because of the Saviors conception and incarnation

1b οὗτος γὰρ ἔχει εὐαγγέλιον μόνον τὸ κατὰ Λουκᾶν περικεκομμένον ἀπὸ τῆς ἀρχῆς διὰ τὴν τοῦ σωτῆρος σύλληψιν καὶ τὴν ἔνσαρκον αὐτοῦ παρουσίαν

2a But he cut off not just the beginning 2a οὐ μόνον δὲ τὴν ἀρχὴν ἀπέτεμεν hellip2b but removed as well much of the conclusion and of the words of truth that come between and added other things to what was written But this is the only writing he accepts Lukes Gospel

2b ὁ λυμηνάμενος ἑαυτὸν ltμᾶλλονgt ἤπερ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον ἀλλὰ καὶ τοῦ τέλους καὶ τῶν μέσων πολλὰ περιέκοψε τῶν τῆς ἀληθείας λόγων ἄλλα δὲ παρὰ τὰ γεγραμμένα προστέθεικεν μόνῳ δὲ

κέχρηται τούτῳ τῷ χαρακτῆρι τῷ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίῳ

3 He has as well ten letters of the holy apostle which are all he accepts but he does not accept everything written in them Some of their passages he removes and some he alters These are the two books he accepts but he composed other writings of his own for those whom he led astray

3 ἔχει δὲ καὶ ἐπιστολὰς παρ αὐτῷ τοῦ ἁγίου ἀποστόλου δέκα αἷς μόναις κέχρηται οὐ πᾶσι δὲ τοῖς ἐν αὐταῖς γεγραμμένοις ἀλλὰ τινὰ αὐτῶν περιτέμνων τινὰ δὲ ἀλλοιώσας κεφάλαια ταύταις δὲ ταῖς δυσὶ βίβλοις κέχρηται ἄλλα δὲ συντάγματα ἀφ ἑαυτοῦ συνέταξε τοῖς ὑπ αὐτοῦ πλανωμένοις hellip

4 The letters mentioned by him are first to the Galatians second to the Corinthians third the second letter to the Corinthians fourth to the Romans fifth to the Thessalonians sixth the second letter to the Thessaloni-ans seventh to the Ephesians eighth to the Colossians ninth to Philemon and tenth to the Philippians He also has parts of the letter called to the Laodiceans

4 αἱ δὲ ἐπιστολαὶ αἱ παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμεναί εἰσι πρώτη μὲν πρὸς Γαλάτας δευτέρα δὲ πρὸς Κορινθίους τρίτη πρὸς Κορινθίους δευτέρα τετάρτη πρὸς Ῥωμαίους πέμπτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς ἕκτη πρὸς Θεσσαλονικεῖς δευτέρα ἑβδόμη πρὸς Ἐφεσίους ὀγδόη πρὸς Κολασσαεῖς ἐνάτη πρὸς Φιλήμονα δεκάτη πρὸς Φιλιππησίους ἔχει δὲ καὶ τῆς πρὸς Λαοδικέας λεγομένης μέρηἐξ οὗπερ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ παρ αὐτῷ σῳζομένου τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν τοῦ ἀποστόλου δεῖξαι αὐτὸν σὺν θεῷ ἔχομεν ἀπατεῶνα καὶ πεπλανημένον καὶ ἀκρότατα διελέγξαι ἐξ αὐτῶν γὰρ ἀναμφιβόλως τῶν παρ αὐτοῦ ὁμολογουμένων ἀνατραπήσεται ἐκ γὰρ τῶν αὐτῶν ἔτι παρ αὐτῷ λειψάνων τοῦ τε εὐαγγελίου καὶ τῶν ἐπιστολῶν εὑρισκομένων δειχθήσεται ὁ Χριστὸς τοῖς συνετοῖς μὴ ἀλλότριος εἶναι παλαιᾶς διαθήκης καὶ οἱ προφῆται οὖν οὐκ ἀλλότριοι ὄντες τῆς τοῦ κυρίου ἐνδημίας καὶ ὅτι ἀνάστασιν σαρκὸς ὁ ἀπόστολος κηρύττει καὶ δικαίους τοὺς προφήτας ὀνομάζει καὶ ἐν σῳζομένοις ὑπάρχοντας τοὺς περὶ Ἀβραὰμ καὶ Ἰσαὰκ καὶ Ἰακὼβ καὶ πάντα ὅσα ἐστὶ τῆς ἁγίας τοῦ θεοῦ ἐκκλησίας σωτήριά τε καὶ ἅγια καὶ ἐκ θεοῦ ἐστηριγμένα ἔν τε τῇ πίστει καὶ ἐν τῇ γνώσει καὶ ἐν ἐλπίδι καὶ διδασκαλίᾳ

42101 I shall here insert the work which I composed against him before I devoted myself to this work which I undertook at your urging my brothers

4210 Παραθήσομαι δὲ καὶ ἣν ἐποιησάμην κατ αὐτοῦ πραγματείαν πρὶν τοῦ ταύτην μου τὴν σύνταξιν ἐσπουδακέναι διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν τῶν ἀδελφῶν προτροπῆς ποιήσασθαι

2 Many years ago when I was examining the deceptions and ridiculous teaching which Marcion had thought up and was reading the very books I just mentioned which lthe had mutilatedgt the one he calls a gospel and ltthe onegt he calls the letters of the apostle I picked out and listed in order the passages from the two books from which

2 ἀπὸ ἐτῶν ἱκανῶν ἀνερευνῶν τὴν τούτου τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ἐπινενοημένην ψευδηγορίαν καὶ ληρώδη διδασκαλίαν αὐτὰς δὴ τὰς τοῦ προειρημένου βίβλους ἃς dagger κέκτηται μετὰ χεῖρας λαβών τό τε παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμενον εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ltτὸgt ἀποστολικὸν καλούμενον παρ αὐτῷ ἐξανθισάμενος καὶ ἀναλεξάμενος καθ εἱρμὸν ἀπὸ

he may be refuted and made a sketch of a work in which I put the passages in sequence and listed each one as 1 2 3

τῶν προειρημένων δύο βιβλίων τὰ ἐλέγξαι αὐτὸν δυνάμενα ἐδάφιόν τι συντάξεως ἐποιησάμην ἀκολούθως τάξας κεφάλαια καὶ ἐπιγράψας ἑκάστῃ ῥήσει ltαgt ltβgt ltγgt

3 And in this way I went through to the end listing the places where the wretch even yet in the passages which remain preserves words of the Savior and of the apostle which speak against him

3 καὶ οὕτως ἕως τέλους διεξῆλθον ἐν οἷς φαίνεται ἠλιθίως καθ ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι ταύτας τὰς παραμεινάσας τοῦ τε σωτῆρος καὶ τοῦ ἀποστόλου λέξεις φυλάττων

4 For some of them he in his villainy alters to a form different from the text of Lukes Gospel and the wording of the letters of the apostle

4 αἱ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν παρηλλαγμένως ὑπ αὐτοῦ ἐρρᾳδιουργήθησαν καὶ ὡς οὐκ εἶχεν τοῦ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀντίγραφον οὔτε ἡ τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ χαρακτῆρος ἔμφασις

5 Others are just as they appear in the gospel and in the apostle not altered by him but suitable to refute him ones in which ltthegt Old Testament is shown to be in harmony with the New and the New with the Old

5 ἄλλα δὲ φύσει ὡς ἔχει καὶ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ὁ ἀπόστολος μὴ ἀλλαγέντα ὑπ αὐτοῦ δυνάμενα δὲ αὐτὸν διελέγχειν δι ὧν δείκνυται ltἡgt παλαιὰ διαθήκη συμφωνοῦσα πρὸς τὴν νέαν καὶ ἡ καινὴ πρὸς τὴν παλαιὰν διαθήκην

6 Still other passages from the books show that Christ came in the flesh and became a complete human being among us

6 ἄλλαι δὲ πάλιν λέξεις τῶν αὐτῶν βιβλίων ὑποφαίνουσαι Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθέναι καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν τελείως ἐνηνθρωπηκέναι

7 Others again acknowledge the resurrection of the dead and God the one almighty Lord of all himself maker of heaven and earth and all that comes to be on the earth and neither falsify the calling of the gospel nor deny the maker and creator of all but point to him who is clearly acknowledged by the apostolic writing and the gospel message

7 ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλαι πάλιν ὁμολογοῦσαι τὴν τῶν νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν καὶ τὸν θεὸν ἕνα ὄντα κύριον πάντων παντοκράτορα αὐτὸν ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς γενομένων καὶ οὔτε παραχαράσσουσαι τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τὴν κλῆσιν οὔτε μὴν ἀρνούμεναι τὸν ποιητὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν τῶν πάντων ἀλλὰ δηλοῦσαι τὸν σαφῶς ὡμολογημένον ὑπὸ τοῦ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελικοῦ κηρύγματος

8 We next insert our treatise 8 καὶ ἔστιν τὰ ἡμῖν πεπραγματευμένα ἐν ὑποκειμένοις παρατιθέμενα ἅτινά ἐστι τάδε

[HD2108] 111 Those who make it their practice to obtain accurate information about the spurious ideas of the deceiver Marcion and to distinguish the devices fabricated by his herd will not be slow to peruse this collection

11 Ὅτῳ φίλον ἐστὶ τὰς τοῦ ἀπατηλοῦ Μαρκίωνος νόθους ἐπινοίας ἀκριβοῦν καὶ τὰς ἐπιπλάστους τοῦ αὐτοῦ βοσκήματος μηχανὰς διαγινώσκειν τούτῳ τῷ συλλελεγμένῳ πονήματι ἐντυχεῖν μὴ κατοκνείτω

2 For we have devoted ourselves to arranging here those passages from his gospel which may be used in refutation of his cunning villainy so that those who desire to peruse this work may use it as an exercise in acuity with a view to refuting the strange utterances dreamed up by him 3 For although the document containing Lukes Gospel ltdoes contain the text of that gospelgt because it is mutilated and has no beginning

middle or end it is like a garment eaten by many moths 4 For at the very outset everything written by Luke at the beginning where he says Inasmuch as many have undertaken and so forth and about Elizabeth and the angel bringing the good news to the Virgin Mary about John and Zechariah and the birth in Bethlehem the genealogy and the account of the baptismmdash5 All this he removes and skips over and puts as the beginning of the gospel In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar [Luke 31] and so forth 6 This is where he begins and once again he does not preserve the continuity of the text but as I said he falsifies some things and adds others out of proper sequence not proceeding in a straight line but wandering all about carelessly The passages are as followsi [Luke 514] Go show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your purification as Moses commanded that it may be a testimony to you instead of which the Savior said a testimony to themii [524] That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earthiii [65] The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbathiv [616f] Judas Iscariot who turned traitor But instead of He came down with them he has He came down among themv [619f] And all the crowd was trying to touch him And raising his eyes and so forthvi [623] Your fathers treated the prophets in the same wayvii [79] I tell you not even in Israel have I found so much faithviii [723] He altered Blessed is he who is not scandalized in me for he look it as directed against Johnix [727] He it is about whom it was written Behold I send my messenger before you[HD2109] x [736 38] And entering the Pharisees house he reclined But the woman who was a sinner standing behind by his feet washed his feet with her tears and wiped and kissed themxi |744| Again She has washed my feet with her

given to it But he does not have the part about Nineveh the queen of the South and Solomonxxvi [1142] Instead of You disregard the judgment of God he has You disregard the call of God [κλησιν ldquocallrdquo instead of κρισιν ldquojudgementrdquo][HD2111] xxvii [1147] Woe to you for you build the tombs of the prophets and your fathers killed themxxviii [ll49ff] He does not have For this reason the Wisdom of God said I am sending them prophets or the part about the blood of ccha riah and Abel and the prophets that it will IK- required of (his generationxxix [124ff| I say to my friends do not (ear those who kill the body fear the one who after killing has power to cast into Gehenna He does not have Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies And not one of them is forgotten in Gods sightxxx [128] Instead of he will acknowledge in the presence of Gods angels he says in the presence of Godxxxi [1228] He does not have God clothes the grassxxxii [1230] Your Father knows that you need these things these things of the flesh noticexxxiii [1231] But seek the kingdom of God and all these things will be given you besidesxxxiv [1232] Instead of your Father he has the Father[HD2112 ] xxxv [1238] Instead of in the second or third watch he has in the evening watchxxxvi [1246] The master of that slave will arrive and cut him up and place his portion with the unbelieversxxxvii [1258] Lest he drag you off to the judge and the judge hand you over to the officerxxxviii [131-9] He falsifies the part from where it says Some people came and told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices down to where he speaks of the eighteen people in Siloam who died in the tower as well as the words unless you repent and ltwhat followsgt down to the parable of the fig tree about which the vinedresser said I will dig and lay down manure and if it does not bear fruit cut it

downxxxix [1316] This daughter of Abraham whom Satan boundxl [1328] He also falsifies Then you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God Instead he puts When you see all the just in the kingdom of God but yourselves thrustmdashbut he puts heldmdashoutside there there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth[HD2113 ] xli [1329-35] He also falsifies They will come from the east and west and recline in the kingdom and The last will be first and The Pharisees came saying Go away from here for Herod wants to kill you and Ik-said Go tell that fox down to where he says It is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem and Jerusalem Jerusalem who kill the prophets and stone those sent and Often have I wanted to gather your children like a bird and Your house is left to you and You will not see me until you say blessed xlii [1511ff] He also falsifies the whole parable of the two sons the one who received the portion of the property and spent it in debauchery and the otherxliii [1616| The law and the prophets arc until John and everyone forces his way into the kingdomxliv [1622| About the rich man and Lazarus the poor man thai he was taken away by the angels to Abrahams bosomxlv |1625| Now he is consoled Lazarus that isxlvi [1629 31] Abraham said They have Moses and the prophets let them hear them for they will not even hear the one raised from the deadxlvii [1710] He falsifies Say We are useless slaves we have done what we were supposed to doxlviii [1712 14 427] When the ten lepers met him But he removes much of the passage and puts He sent them away saying Show yourselves to the priests And he substitutes certain words for others saying There were many lepers in the days of the prophet Elisha and none was cured [HD2114] except for Naaman the Syrian

xlix [1722] Days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Manl [1818ff] Someone said to him Good master what must I do to inherit eternal life But he said Do not call me good There is one who is good and that is God He adds the Father and instead of you know the commandments he says I know the commandmentsli [1835 38 42] It-happened that as he was approaching Jericho a blind man called out Jesus son of David have pity on me And when he was cured he said Your faith has saved you lii [1831-33] he falsifies Taking aside the Twelve he said Behold we are going up to Jerusalem and all that is written in the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished For he will be handed over and killed and on the third day rise All this he falsifies[HD2115] liii [1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house will be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of robbersliv [2019] And they sought to lay hands on him and they were afraidIv [209ff 17] He also removes what is said about the vineyard given over to vinedressers and the words What is the meaning of the stone which the builders rejected Ivi [2037f] He removes But that the dead are raised Moses shows at the bush when he speaks of the Lord the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob He is God of the living and of the deadIvii [2037f] He does not have But that the dead are raised Moses as well shows when he speaks of the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob the God of the livingIviii [2118] He also falsifies not a hair of your head will perishlix [2121f] He also falsifies then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains and so forth because of the words that follow until at that is written is fulfilledIx [224] He spoke with the officers about how he could betray him to themIxi [228] And he said to Peter and the rest Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

[2183]hellip 141 Ἔτι δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπεμνήσθημεν ὡς τινὲς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν Μαρκιωνιστῶν εἰς βυθὸν βλασφημίας παραπεπτωκότες

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

42101 I shall here insert the work which I composed against him before I devoted myself to this work which I undertook at your urging my brothers

4210 Παραθήσομαι δὲ καὶ ἣν ἐποιησάμην κατ αὐτοῦ πραγματείαν πρὶν τοῦ ταύτην μου τὴν σύνταξιν ἐσπουδακέναι διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν τῶν ἀδελφῶν προτροπῆς ποιήσασθαι

2 Many years ago when I was examining the deceptions and ridiculous teaching which Marcion had thought up and was reading the very books I just mentioned which lthe had mutilatedgt the one he calls a gospel and ltthe onegt he calls the letters of the apostle I picked out and listed in order the passages from the two books from which

2 ἀπὸ ἐτῶν ἱκανῶν ἀνερευνῶν τὴν τούτου τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ἐπινενοημένην ψευδηγορίαν καὶ ληρώδη διδασκαλίαν αὐτὰς δὴ τὰς τοῦ προειρημένου βίβλους ἃς dagger κέκτηται μετὰ χεῖρας λαβών τό τε παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμενον εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ltτὸgt ἀποστολικὸν καλούμενον παρ αὐτῷ ἐξανθισάμενος καὶ ἀναλεξάμενος καθ εἱρμὸν ἀπὸ

he may be refuted and made a sketch of a work in which I put the passages in sequence and listed each one as 1 2 3

τῶν προειρημένων δύο βιβλίων τὰ ἐλέγξαι αὐτὸν δυνάμενα ἐδάφιόν τι συντάξεως ἐποιησάμην ἀκολούθως τάξας κεφάλαια καὶ ἐπιγράψας ἑκάστῃ ῥήσει ltαgt ltβgt ltγgt

3 And in this way I went through to the end listing the places where the wretch even yet in the passages which remain preserves words of the Savior and of the apostle which speak against him

3 καὶ οὕτως ἕως τέλους διεξῆλθον ἐν οἷς φαίνεται ἠλιθίως καθ ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι ταύτας τὰς παραμεινάσας τοῦ τε σωτῆρος καὶ τοῦ ἀποστόλου λέξεις φυλάττων

4 For some of them he in his villainy alters to a form different from the text of Lukes Gospel and the wording of the letters of the apostle

4 αἱ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν παρηλλαγμένως ὑπ αὐτοῦ ἐρρᾳδιουργήθησαν καὶ ὡς οὐκ εἶχεν τοῦ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀντίγραφον οὔτε ἡ τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ χαρακτῆρος ἔμφασις

5 Others are just as they appear in the gospel and in the apostle not altered by him but suitable to refute him ones in which ltthegt Old Testament is shown to be in harmony with the New and the New with the Old

5 ἄλλα δὲ φύσει ὡς ἔχει καὶ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ὁ ἀπόστολος μὴ ἀλλαγέντα ὑπ αὐτοῦ δυνάμενα δὲ αὐτὸν διελέγχειν δι ὧν δείκνυται ltἡgt παλαιὰ διαθήκη συμφωνοῦσα πρὸς τὴν νέαν καὶ ἡ καινὴ πρὸς τὴν παλαιὰν διαθήκην

6 Still other passages from the books show that Christ came in the flesh and became a complete human being among us

6 ἄλλαι δὲ πάλιν λέξεις τῶν αὐτῶν βιβλίων ὑποφαίνουσαι Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθέναι καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν τελείως ἐνηνθρωπηκέναι

7 Others again acknowledge the resurrection of the dead and God the one almighty Lord of all himself maker of heaven and earth and all that comes to be on the earth and neither falsify the calling of the gospel nor deny the maker and creator of all but point to him who is clearly acknowledged by the apostolic writing and the gospel message

7 ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλαι πάλιν ὁμολογοῦσαι τὴν τῶν νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν καὶ τὸν θεὸν ἕνα ὄντα κύριον πάντων παντοκράτορα αὐτὸν ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς γενομένων καὶ οὔτε παραχαράσσουσαι τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τὴν κλῆσιν οὔτε μὴν ἀρνούμεναι τὸν ποιητὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν τῶν πάντων ἀλλὰ δηλοῦσαι τὸν σαφῶς ὡμολογημένον ὑπὸ τοῦ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελικοῦ κηρύγματος

8 We next insert our treatise 8 καὶ ἔστιν τὰ ἡμῖν πεπραγματευμένα ἐν ὑποκειμένοις παρατιθέμενα ἅτινά ἐστι τάδε

[HD2108] 111 Those who make it their practice to obtain accurate information about the spurious ideas of the deceiver Marcion and to distinguish the devices fabricated by his herd will not be slow to peruse this collection

11 Ὅτῳ φίλον ἐστὶ τὰς τοῦ ἀπατηλοῦ Μαρκίωνος νόθους ἐπινοίας ἀκριβοῦν καὶ τὰς ἐπιπλάστους τοῦ αὐτοῦ βοσκήματος μηχανὰς διαγινώσκειν τούτῳ τῷ συλλελεγμένῳ πονήματι ἐντυχεῖν μὴ κατοκνείτω

2 For we have devoted ourselves to arranging here those passages from his gospel which may be used in refutation of his cunning villainy so that those who desire to peruse this work may use it as an exercise in acuity with a view to refuting the strange utterances dreamed up by him 3 For although the document containing Lukes Gospel ltdoes contain the text of that gospelgt because it is mutilated and has no beginning

middle or end it is like a garment eaten by many moths 4 For at the very outset everything written by Luke at the beginning where he says Inasmuch as many have undertaken and so forth and about Elizabeth and the angel bringing the good news to the Virgin Mary about John and Zechariah and the birth in Bethlehem the genealogy and the account of the baptismmdash5 All this he removes and skips over and puts as the beginning of the gospel In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar [Luke 31] and so forth 6 This is where he begins and once again he does not preserve the continuity of the text but as I said he falsifies some things and adds others out of proper sequence not proceeding in a straight line but wandering all about carelessly The passages are as followsi [Luke 514] Go show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your purification as Moses commanded that it may be a testimony to you instead of which the Savior said a testimony to themii [524] That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earthiii [65] The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbathiv [616f] Judas Iscariot who turned traitor But instead of He came down with them he has He came down among themv [619f] And all the crowd was trying to touch him And raising his eyes and so forthvi [623] Your fathers treated the prophets in the same wayvii [79] I tell you not even in Israel have I found so much faithviii [723] He altered Blessed is he who is not scandalized in me for he look it as directed against Johnix [727] He it is about whom it was written Behold I send my messenger before you[HD2109] x [736 38] And entering the Pharisees house he reclined But the woman who was a sinner standing behind by his feet washed his feet with her tears and wiped and kissed themxi |744| Again She has washed my feet with her

given to it But he does not have the part about Nineveh the queen of the South and Solomonxxvi [1142] Instead of You disregard the judgment of God he has You disregard the call of God [κλησιν ldquocallrdquo instead of κρισιν ldquojudgementrdquo][HD2111] xxvii [1147] Woe to you for you build the tombs of the prophets and your fathers killed themxxviii [ll49ff] He does not have For this reason the Wisdom of God said I am sending them prophets or the part about the blood of ccha riah and Abel and the prophets that it will IK- required of (his generationxxix [124ff| I say to my friends do not (ear those who kill the body fear the one who after killing has power to cast into Gehenna He does not have Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies And not one of them is forgotten in Gods sightxxx [128] Instead of he will acknowledge in the presence of Gods angels he says in the presence of Godxxxi [1228] He does not have God clothes the grassxxxii [1230] Your Father knows that you need these things these things of the flesh noticexxxiii [1231] But seek the kingdom of God and all these things will be given you besidesxxxiv [1232] Instead of your Father he has the Father[HD2112 ] xxxv [1238] Instead of in the second or third watch he has in the evening watchxxxvi [1246] The master of that slave will arrive and cut him up and place his portion with the unbelieversxxxvii [1258] Lest he drag you off to the judge and the judge hand you over to the officerxxxviii [131-9] He falsifies the part from where it says Some people came and told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices down to where he speaks of the eighteen people in Siloam who died in the tower as well as the words unless you repent and ltwhat followsgt down to the parable of the fig tree about which the vinedresser said I will dig and lay down manure and if it does not bear fruit cut it

downxxxix [1316] This daughter of Abraham whom Satan boundxl [1328] He also falsifies Then you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God Instead he puts When you see all the just in the kingdom of God but yourselves thrustmdashbut he puts heldmdashoutside there there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth[HD2113 ] xli [1329-35] He also falsifies They will come from the east and west and recline in the kingdom and The last will be first and The Pharisees came saying Go away from here for Herod wants to kill you and Ik-said Go tell that fox down to where he says It is not possible for a prophet to perish outside Jerusalem and Jerusalem Jerusalem who kill the prophets and stone those sent and Often have I wanted to gather your children like a bird and Your house is left to you and You will not see me until you say blessed xlii [1511ff] He also falsifies the whole parable of the two sons the one who received the portion of the property and spent it in debauchery and the otherxliii [1616| The law and the prophets arc until John and everyone forces his way into the kingdomxliv [1622| About the rich man and Lazarus the poor man thai he was taken away by the angels to Abrahams bosomxlv |1625| Now he is consoled Lazarus that isxlvi [1629 31] Abraham said They have Moses and the prophets let them hear them for they will not even hear the one raised from the deadxlvii [1710] He falsifies Say We are useless slaves we have done what we were supposed to doxlviii [1712 14 427] When the ten lepers met him But he removes much of the passage and puts He sent them away saying Show yourselves to the priests And he substitutes certain words for others saying There were many lepers in the days of the prophet Elisha and none was cured [HD2114] except for Naaman the Syrian

xlix [1722] Days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Manl [1818ff] Someone said to him Good master what must I do to inherit eternal life But he said Do not call me good There is one who is good and that is God He adds the Father and instead of you know the commandments he says I know the commandmentsli [1835 38 42] It-happened that as he was approaching Jericho a blind man called out Jesus son of David have pity on me And when he was cured he said Your faith has saved you lii [1831-33] he falsifies Taking aside the Twelve he said Behold we are going up to Jerusalem and all that is written in the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished For he will be handed over and killed and on the third day rise All this he falsifies[HD2115] liii [1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house will be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of robbersliv [2019] And they sought to lay hands on him and they were afraidIv [209ff 17] He also removes what is said about the vineyard given over to vinedressers and the words What is the meaning of the stone which the builders rejected Ivi [2037f] He removes But that the dead are raised Moses shows at the bush when he speaks of the Lord the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob He is God of the living and of the deadIvii [2037f] He does not have But that the dead are raised Moses as well shows when he speaks of the God of Abraham the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob the God of the livingIviii [2118] He also falsifies not a hair of your head will perishlix [2121f] He also falsifies then let those in Judaea flee to the mountains and so forth because of the words that follow until at that is written is fulfilledIx [224] He spoke with the officers about how he could betray him to themIxi [228] And he said to Peter and the rest Go and prepare for us to eat the Passover

Ixii [2214f| And he reclined and the twelve apostles were with him and he said Greatly have I desired to eat this Passover with you before I sufferIxiii [2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God[HD2116] Ixiv [2235 37] He falsifies When I sent you out did you lack anything and so forth because of the words This as well which is written must be accomplished And he was reckoned with the lawless Ixv [2241] He withdrew from them about a stones throw knelt down and prayedIxvi [2247f] And Judas approached to kiss him and saidIxvii [2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priests servantIxviii [2263f] Those who were guarding him made fun of him beating and striking him and saying Prophesy who it was that struck you Ixix [232] After We found this man stirring up the people he adds and doing away with the law and the prophetsIxx [232] After forbidding taxes to be paid he adds and turning away the women and the childrenIxxi [2333f 44] And coming to a place called Place of the Skull they crucified him and divided up his clothing and the sun was darkenedIxxii [2343] He falsifies Today you will be with me in ParadiseIxxiii [2346] And giving a loud cry he expiredIxxiv [2350 53] And behold a man named Joseph took down the body wrapped it in a sheet and placed it in a tomb cut in stoneIxxv [2356] And the women returned and reposed on the Sabbath according to the law[HD2117] Ixxvi [245-7] Those in bright clothes said Why are you looking for the living with the dead He had been raised remember what he said while he was still with you that the Son of Man must suffer and be handed over Ixxvii [2425 31] He falsifies what was said to Cleopas and the other when he met them O senseless and slow to believe all that the prophets

spoke Was it not necessary to suffer these things And instead of what the prophets spoke he puts what I spoke to you But he is refuted by When he broke the bread their eyes were opened and they recognized himIxxviii [24381| Why are you disturbed See my hands and my feet because a spirit does not have bones as you see I have7 We have also in opposition to the heresiarch included in this work of ours against him those ltremnants of the truthgt of which we have found him in possession as well in his arbitrary version of the letters of the apostle Paul not of all of them but of some (the names of which are listed by us at the very end of the treatise as they are contained in his collection of Pauls letters) 8 these letters as well having been mutilated in accordance with his usual mischief ltThese remnants are still preserved in them gt just as remnants of the true gospel ltmay be foundgt in the so-called gospel cited above if truth be told even though he has falsified everything quite [HD2118] ruthlesslyFrom the Letter to the Romans fourth in his list but first among Pauls lettersi (xxviii) [The numbers in parentheses refer to the sequence within Marcions collection of Paulrsquos letters] [Rom 212f] Those who have sinned apart from the law will perish apart from the law and those who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law For it is not those who hear the law who are just in Gods sight but those who keep the law who will be justifiedii (xxvix) [225] For circumcision is of benefit if you keep the law But if you transgress the law your circumcision has become uncircumcisioniii (xxx) [220] Having the very shape of knowledge and truth in the lawiv (xxxi) [56] For while we were still powerless at that very time Christ died for the impiousv (xxxii) [712] So that the law is holy and the commandment holy and just and goodvi (xxxiii) [84] That the precept of the law may be fulfilled in usvii (xxxiv) [104] For the end of the law is Christ for the justice of everyone who believesviii (xxxv) [138] He who loves his neighbor has

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

[2183]hellip 141 Ἔτι δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπεμνήσθημεν ὡς τινὲς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν Μαρκιωνιστῶν εἰς βυθὸν βλασφημίας παραπεπτωκότες

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

42101 I shall here insert the work which I composed against him before I devoted myself to this work which I undertook at your urging my brothers

4210 Παραθήσομαι δὲ καὶ ἣν ἐποιησάμην κατ αὐτοῦ πραγματείαν πρὶν τοῦ ταύτην μου τὴν σύνταξιν ἐσπουδακέναι διὰ τῆς ὑμῶν τῶν ἀδελφῶν προτροπῆς ποιήσασθαι

2 Many years ago when I was examining the deceptions and ridiculous teaching which Marcion had thought up and was reading the very books I just mentioned which lthe had mutilatedgt the one he calls a gospel and ltthe onegt he calls the letters of the apostle I picked out and listed in order the passages from the two books from which

2 ἀπὸ ἐτῶν ἱκανῶν ἀνερευνῶν τὴν τούτου τοῦ Μαρκίωνος ἐπινενοημένην ψευδηγορίαν καὶ ληρώδη διδασκαλίαν αὐτὰς δὴ τὰς τοῦ προειρημένου βίβλους ἃς dagger κέκτηται μετὰ χεῖρας λαβών τό τε παρ αὐτῷ λεγόμενον εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ltτὸgt ἀποστολικὸν καλούμενον παρ αὐτῷ ἐξανθισάμενος καὶ ἀναλεξάμενος καθ εἱρμὸν ἀπὸ

he may be refuted and made a sketch of a work in which I put the passages in sequence and listed each one as 1 2 3

τῶν προειρημένων δύο βιβλίων τὰ ἐλέγξαι αὐτὸν δυνάμενα ἐδάφιόν τι συντάξεως ἐποιησάμην ἀκολούθως τάξας κεφάλαια καὶ ἐπιγράψας ἑκάστῃ ῥήσει ltαgt ltβgt ltγgt

3 And in this way I went through to the end listing the places where the wretch even yet in the passages which remain preserves words of the Savior and of the apostle which speak against him

3 καὶ οὕτως ἕως τέλους διεξῆλθον ἐν οἷς φαίνεται ἠλιθίως καθ ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι ταύτας τὰς παραμεινάσας τοῦ τε σωτῆρος καὶ τοῦ ἀποστόλου λέξεις φυλάττων

4 For some of them he in his villainy alters to a form different from the text of Lukes Gospel and the wording of the letters of the apostle

4 αἱ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν παρηλλαγμένως ὑπ αὐτοῦ ἐρρᾳδιουργήθησαν καὶ ὡς οὐκ εἶχεν τοῦ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀντίγραφον οὔτε ἡ τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ χαρακτῆρος ἔμφασις

5 Others are just as they appear in the gospel and in the apostle not altered by him but suitable to refute him ones in which ltthegt Old Testament is shown to be in harmony with the New and the New with the Old

5 ἄλλα δὲ φύσει ὡς ἔχει καὶ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ὁ ἀπόστολος μὴ ἀλλαγέντα ὑπ αὐτοῦ δυνάμενα δὲ αὐτὸν διελέγχειν δι ὧν δείκνυται ltἡgt παλαιὰ διαθήκη συμφωνοῦσα πρὸς τὴν νέαν καὶ ἡ καινὴ πρὸς τὴν παλαιὰν διαθήκην

6 Still other passages from the books show that Christ came in the flesh and became a complete human being among us

7 Others again acknowledge the resurrection of the dead and God the one almighty Lord of all himself maker of heaven and earth and all that comes to be on the earth and neither falsify the calling of the gospel nor deny the maker and creator of all but point to him who is clearly acknowledged by the apostolic writing and the gospel message

2 For we have devoted ourselves to arranging here those passages from his gospel which may be used in refutation of his cunning villainy so that those who desire to peruse this work may use it as an exercise in acuity with a view to refuting the strange utterances dreamed up by him 3 For although the document containing Lukes Gospel ltdoes contain the text of that gospelgt because it is mutilated and has no beginning

middle or end it is like a garment eaten by many moths 4 For at the very outset everything written by Luke at the beginning where he says Inasmuch as many have undertaken and so forth and about Elizabeth and the angel bringing the good news to the Virgin Mary about John and Zechariah and the birth in Bethlehem the genealogy and the account of the baptismmdash5 All this he removes and skips over and puts as the beginning of the gospel In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar [Luke 31] and so forth 6 This is where he begins and once again he does not preserve the continuity of the text but as I said he falsifies some things and adds others out of proper sequence not proceeding in a straight line but wandering all about carelessly The passages are as followsi [Luke 514] Go show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your purification as Moses commanded that it may be a testimony to you instead of which the Savior said a testimony to themii [524] That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earthiii [65] The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbathiv [616f] Judas Iscariot who turned traitor But instead of He came down with them he has He came down among themv [619f] And all the crowd was trying to touch him And raising his eyes and so forthvi [623] Your fathers treated the prophets in the same wayvii [79] I tell you not even in Israel have I found so much faithviii [723] He altered Blessed is he who is not scandalized in me for he look it as directed against Johnix [727] He it is about whom it was written Behold I send my messenger before you[HD2109] x [736 38] And entering the Pharisees house he reclined But the woman who was a sinner standing behind by his feet washed his feet with her tears and wiped and kissed themxi |744| Again She has washed my feet with her

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

[2183]hellip 141 Ἔτι δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπεμνήσθημεν ὡς τινὲς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν Μαρκιωνιστῶν εἰς βυθὸν βλασφημίας παραπεπτωκότες

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

τινὲς γὰρ αὐτῶν τετολμήκασιν ὡς ἔφην αὐτὸν τὸν κύριον εἶναι υἱὸν τοῦ πονηροῦ λέγειν οὐκ αἰσχυνόμενοι ἄλλοι δὲ οὐχί ἀλλὰ τοῦ κριτοῦ τε καὶ δημιουργοῦ

[HD2185] 167 If (Christ) had not fled as Marcion says to the God above the good God would have had no one to send if conflict had not arisen between the father of Christ and his own son as Marcion says

he may be refuted and made a sketch of a work in which I put the passages in sequence and listed each one as 1 2 3

τῶν προειρημένων δύο βιβλίων τὰ ἐλέγξαι αὐτὸν δυνάμενα ἐδάφιόν τι συντάξεως ἐποιησάμην ἀκολούθως τάξας κεφάλαια καὶ ἐπιγράψας ἑκάστῃ ῥήσει ltαgt ltβgt ltγgt

3 And in this way I went through to the end listing the places where the wretch even yet in the passages which remain preserves words of the Savior and of the apostle which speak against him

3 καὶ οὕτως ἕως τέλους διεξῆλθον ἐν οἷς φαίνεται ἠλιθίως καθ ἑαυτοῦ ἔτι ταύτας τὰς παραμεινάσας τοῦ τε σωτῆρος καὶ τοῦ ἀποστόλου λέξεις φυλάττων

4 For some of them he in his villainy alters to a form different from the text of Lukes Gospel and the wording of the letters of the apostle

4 αἱ μὲν γὰρ αὐτῶν παρηλλαγμένως ὑπ αὐτοῦ ἐρρᾳδιουργήθησαν καὶ ὡς οὐκ εἶχεν τοῦ κατὰ Λουκᾶν εὐαγγελίου τὸ ἀντίγραφον οὔτε ἡ τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ χαρακτῆρος ἔμφασις

5 Others are just as they appear in the gospel and in the apostle not altered by him but suitable to refute him ones in which ltthegt Old Testament is shown to be in harmony with the New and the New with the Old

5 ἄλλα δὲ φύσει ὡς ἔχει καὶ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον καὶ ὁ ἀπόστολος μὴ ἀλλαγέντα ὑπ αὐτοῦ δυνάμενα δὲ αὐτὸν διελέγχειν δι ὧν δείκνυται ltἡgt παλαιὰ διαθήκη συμφωνοῦσα πρὸς τὴν νέαν καὶ ἡ καινὴ πρὸς τὴν παλαιὰν διαθήκην

6 Still other passages from the books show that Christ came in the flesh and became a complete human being among us

6 ἄλλαι δὲ πάλιν λέξεις τῶν αὐτῶν βιβλίων ὑποφαίνουσαι Χριστὸν ἐν σαρκὶ ἐληλυθέναι καὶ ἐν ἡμῖν τελείως ἐνηνθρωπηκέναι

7 Others again acknowledge the resurrection of the dead and God the one almighty Lord of all himself maker of heaven and earth and all that comes to be on the earth and neither falsify the calling of the gospel nor deny the maker and creator of all but point to him who is clearly acknowledged by the apostolic writing and the gospel message

7 ἀλλὰ καὶ ἄλλαι πάλιν ὁμολογοῦσαι τὴν τῶν νεκρῶν ἀνάστασιν καὶ τὸν θεὸν ἕνα ὄντα κύριον πάντων παντοκράτορα αὐτὸν ποιητὴν οὐρανοῦ καὶ γῆς καὶ πάντων τῶν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς γενομένων καὶ οὔτε παραχαράσσουσαι τοῦ εὐαγγελίου τὴν κλῆσιν οὔτε μὴν ἀρνούμεναι τὸν ποιητὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν τῶν πάντων ἀλλὰ δηλοῦσαι τὸν σαφῶς ὡμολογημένον ὑπὸ τοῦ χαρακτῆρος τοῦ ἀποστολικοῦ καὶ τοῦ εὐαγγελικοῦ κηρύγματος

2 For we have devoted ourselves to arranging here those passages from his gospel which may be used in refutation of his cunning villainy so that those who desire to peruse this work may use it as an exercise in acuity with a view to refuting the strange utterances dreamed up by him 3 For although the document containing Lukes Gospel ltdoes contain the text of that gospelgt because it is mutilated and has no beginning

middle or end it is like a garment eaten by many moths 4 For at the very outset everything written by Luke at the beginning where he says Inasmuch as many have undertaken and so forth and about Elizabeth and the angel bringing the good news to the Virgin Mary about John and Zechariah and the birth in Bethlehem the genealogy and the account of the baptismmdash5 All this he removes and skips over and puts as the beginning of the gospel In the fifteenth year of Tiberius Caesar [Luke 31] and so forth 6 This is where he begins and once again he does not preserve the continuity of the text but as I said he falsifies some things and adds others out of proper sequence not proceeding in a straight line but wandering all about carelessly The passages are as followsi [Luke 514] Go show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your purification as Moses commanded that it may be a testimony to you instead of which the Savior said a testimony to themii [524] That you may know that the Son of Man has power to forgive sins on earthiii [65] The Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbathiv [616f] Judas Iscariot who turned traitor But instead of He came down with them he has He came down among themv [619f] And all the crowd was trying to touch him And raising his eyes and so forthvi [623] Your fathers treated the prophets in the same wayvii [79] I tell you not even in Israel have I found so much faithviii [723] He altered Blessed is he who is not scandalized in me for he look it as directed against Johnix [727] He it is about whom it was written Behold I send my messenger before you[HD2109] x [736 38] And entering the Pharisees house he reclined But the woman who was a sinner standing behind by his feet washed his feet with her tears and wiped and kissed themxi |744| Again She has washed my feet with her

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

[2183]hellip 141 Ἔτι δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπεμνήσθημεν ὡς τινὲς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν Μαρκιωνιστῶν εἰς βυθὸν βλασφημίας παραπεπτωκότες

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

[2183]hellip 141 Ἔτι δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπεμνήσθημεν ὡς τινὲς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν Μαρκιωνιστῶν εἰς βυθὸν βλασφημίας παραπεπτωκότες

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

[2183]hellip 141 Ἔτι δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπεμνήσθημεν ὡς τινὲς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν Μαρκιωνιστῶν εἰς βυθὸν βλασφημίας παραπεπτωκότες

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

[HD2147] Refutation Ixa If Christ was only a spirit he would not have been handed over to men of flesh But being a man he became tangible ltandgt putting on flesh he delivered himself over of his own accord to human hands b But these people in their stupidity say the opposite Once when conversing with some of his disciples I said to one of the Marcionists that in the gospel it states that the Spirit took him into the desert to be tempted by the devil He asked in reply How was Satan able to tempt the one who is true God and greater than he and his Lord (as you people say) Jesus his master c But I with Gods help received a sudden light on the subject and replied Do you not believe that Christ was crucified He answered Yes and did not deny it Who crucified him He said Human beings d Then I said Who is stronger human beings or the devil He said The devil When he said that I answered If the devil is more powerful than human things and human beings who are weaker crucified Christ it is no [HD2148] wonder if he was tempted by the devil [HD2149] Refutation Ixie The Lord Jesus with his disciples ate the meat you abhor when he celebrated the Passover according to the law f And do not say that it was the mystery which he was about to accomplish that he named in advance when he said I wish to eat the Passover with you [HD2150] Extracts Ixiii [Luke 2216] He falsifies For I tell you I will eat it no longer until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of GodRefutation Ixiiia He removes and tampers with this [HD2151] Extract Ixvii [Luke 2250] He falsifies what Peter did when he struck and cut off the ear of the high priestss servantRefutation Ixviia Thinking to hide what truly happened in order to honor Peter the deceiver cut out and concealed the words which redound to the Saviors glory b But it will not help him For even if he cuts them out we know the miracles after the ear was cut off the Lord took it and healed it again 123 [after Refutation xxxv] [HD2178] From the ltFirstgt Letter to the Thessalonians Everything

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

[2183]hellip 141 Ἔτι δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπεμνήσθημεν ὡς τινὲς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν Μαρκιωνιστῶν εἰς βυθὸν βλασφημίας παραπεπτωκότες

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

is corrupted by Marcion so I included nothing from itThe Second Letter to the Thessalonians being likewise corrupted by Marcion I have included nothing from it [after Refutation xxxix] [HD2181] The Letter to Philemon ninth a This is where Marcion puts it although the apostle puts it last In some copies however it is listed as thirteenth before Hebrews which is fourteenth while other copies have Hebrews in tenth place before the two letters to Timothy and Titus and Philemon b But all the copies which are sound and true have Romans in first place not like you Marcion who have put Galatians first At any rate we have included nothing from Philemon [HD2182] because his version of it is so completely corruptedThe Letter to the Philippians tenth Likewise from this letter because his edition is so corrupted we have chosen nothing

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

[2183]hellip 141 Ἔτι δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπεμνήσθημεν ὡς τινὲς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν Μαρκιωνιστῶν εἰς βυθὸν βλασφημίας παραπεπτωκότες

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

you falsify what the gospel says Marcion in order to make the evangelist disagree with what certain people said about your mother and your brothers still you cannot ignore the truth b For why is it that he did not refer to many mothers How many various things are said by so many people about Homer Some say he was from Egypt some from Chios from Colophon some from Phrygia and some from Smyrna while Meletus adds that Critheis was his father Those associated with Aristarchus declared that he was from Athens others that he was from Lydia and the son of Maeon and still others that he was from Cyprus from Propodias [Hollrsquos reading Dummer proposes ldquopropoetisrdquo] in the neighborhood of Salamis And all this even though he was only human But the fact that he traveled to many lands induced many people to various accounts of him c But here when they speak of God and Christ they do not suppose that he had many mothers but the one who actually bore him and not many brothers but Josephs sons from the one who actually was his other wife You cannot arm yourself against the truth d And do not be fooled by the words which the Lord spoke Who are my mother and my brothers He did not say this to deny his mother but to put a stop to the importunity of the one who was speaking to him [Cf Matt 1246ff][HD2133] Refutation xxivb Marcion teaches not to partake of animal flesh saying that those who partake of meat are liable to judgment as though they ate souls c But all this is nonsense The soul is not the meat the soul is in the meat Nor do we say that the soul in animals is of the same value as the human one the former soul exists only that the animal may live But this pitiful fellow together with his followers thinks that the same soul is in human beings and animals d For this vain doctrine is held by many of the sects in their error Valentinus and Colorbasus and all the Gnostics and Manichaeans say that there are transmigrations of souls and reincarnations of the soul of ignorant human beings as they declare in their fables They say that the soul returns and is reincarnated in each of the animals until it comes to a state of recognition and thus purified and released it departs to the heavenly places

[HD2134] f They teach that the body is a prison g If he knew that the soul in animals and human beings is one soul and he came to save the soul then he should not when he was cleansing the one demoniac (the one who came out from the tombs) have ordered the demon to depart and killed two thousand pigs if the souls of the human beings and the pigs were equal For how is it that in his solicitude for the one soul he destroyed two thousand h But now if he twists about like a snake and cunningly replies that he loosed them from the bodies that they might ascend then when he had loosed Lazarus from the body he should not have returned him to the body [HD2135] Refutation xxva You [Marcion] remove ltthe partgt about Jonah the prophet [Luke 1129] [HD2136] Refutation xxvib When he says You maintain the traditions of your elders and disregard mercy and the judgment of God [Cf Luke 1142 Matt 2323] learn out of which period of time he finds grounds for blaming them for doing that and when the tradition of the elders began c and you will find that Addas is after the return from Babylon while Akivas goes back to even before the Babylonian captivity and that of the sons of Asamonaeus existed in the time of Alexander and Antiochus 190 years before the birth of Christ [HD2140] Refutation xxxviia You call the demiurge a judge and each of his angels an officer [HD2145] Extract liii [Luke 1929ff 46] He falsifies the passage about the donkey and Bethphage and about the city and the temple where it is written My house shall be called a house of prayer and you make it a den of thievesRefutation liiib He omits all of the passages above on account of the place of the temple of which it is testified that it is his and was built in his name c He also omits the entire account of the journey from Jericho and how he came to Bethphage For there actually was an ancient highway leading to Jerusalem by way of the Mount of Olives which is not unknown to those who investigate the place

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

[2183]hellip 141 Ἔτι δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπεμνήσθημεν ὡς τινὲς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν Μαρκιωνιστῶν εἰς βυθὸν βλασφημίας παραπεπτωκότες

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

τινὲς γὰρ αὐτῶν τετολμήκασιν ὡς ἔφην αὐτὸν τὸν κύριον εἶναι υἱὸν τοῦ πονηροῦ λέγειν οὐκ αἰσχυνόμενοι ἄλλοι δὲ οὐχί ἀλλὰ τοῦ κριτοῦ τε καὶ δημιουργοῦ

[HD2185] 167 If (Christ) had not fled as Marcion says to the God above the good God would have had no one to send if conflict had not arisen between the father of Christ and his own son as Marcion says

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

[2183]hellip 141 Ἔτι δὲ μετὰ ταῦτα πάντα ἐπεμνήσθημεν ὡς τινὲς ἀπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν Μαρκιωνιστῶν εἰς βυθὸν βλασφημίας παραπεπτωκότες

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἑαυτῶν δαιμονιώδους διδασκαλίας ἐμβρόντητοι παντάπασι γεγονότες καὶ οὗ ἐδόκουν κυρίου μόνον κἂν δι ὀνόματος μνημονεύειν

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

τινὲς γὰρ αὐτῶν τετολμήκασιν ὡς ἔφην αὐτὸν τὸν κύριον εἶναι υἱὸν τοῦ πονηροῦ λέγειν οὐκ αἰσχυνόμενοι ἄλλοι δὲ οὐχί ἀλλὰ τοῦ κριτοῦ τε καὶ δημιουργοῦ

[HD2185] 167 If (Christ) had not fled as Marcion says to the God above the good God would have had no one to send if conflict had not arisen between the father of Christ and his own son as Marcion says

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

Refutation i and xla You have gathered as well these proof texts against yourself Marcion which agree with Ephesians so that at the conclusion of the writing when we have read what is in your work and come to know what you hold we may condemn the three principles which you have dreamed up by your strange ways of thought which have no beginning and which differ from each other b For this is not the teaching of the holy apostle or sound preaching which differs from your fiction c For it is evident that he said one Lord one faith one baptism one God the same who is Father of all the same who is over all the same who is through all and in all through the law and the prophets in all the apostles and in those who came after

[HD2183] 141 Finally we must mention that some of the Marcionists impudently repudiating in another place the divinity of the very one of whose lordship they thought good to make mention if only nominally show no fear of disparaging his supernal generation

2 For some of them have dared as I said shamelessly to call the Lord himself a son of the evil one while others disagree saying that he is a son of the judge and demiurge

3 ltButgt being kindlier and good he left his own father below (some of them say that the latter is the demiurge others the evil one) sped upward to the good God who is in the unnameable places and adhered to him

[2184] καὶ αὐτοῦ ἀθυρογλώσσως ἑτέρως τὴν αὐτοῦ θεότητα ἀποστρέφοντες τὸ ὄνομα τῆς ἄνωθεν γεννήσεως κακίζειν οὐκ ἐντρέπονται

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one

4 But he the Christ came as sent by him into the world and in opposition to his own father to abolish all that his natural father had legislated whether the latter is he who spoke in the law or the God of evil whom they assign to the third principle For they explain it variously as I said one saying that he is the demiurge [HD2184] another the evil one
