“The Logos” or “Word” in John were favored as masculine synonyms to “Sophia” which is a personification of Wisdom. John’s Logos Hymn is a prologue that introduces the reader to who Jesus is in relation to God by implicitly describing Jesus rather than naming him.
The Wisdom of Solomon seems to push the idea that wisdom is leads you to righteousness without it you will continue towards sin, death, and your self-made demise, but in fear of the LORD and in turn wisdom, you can move towards righteousness by the influence of the spirit of Wisdom. Sophia cannot be with those who are unrighteous and instead dwell with those who fear God and search for her (Wis 1:4-5). Wisdom and the search for it is what is typically deemed as pious, which is often displayed most popularly by Socrates. Those who are pious are only a result for their desire for wisdom. These writings imply that virtue and righteousness is the result of wisdom. Now those who look for Wisdom find her and are blessed by her because of her value (Sir 24:19-22), (1 Enoch 42:3), (Wis 5:15-16). This seems to resemble the Genesis story of the intent to dwell with humans, but humans not letting it be so. But not all look for wisdom and turn away from it and sow their own destruction (1 Enoch 42:1-2), (Wis 1:4-5, 2:21-24). Just like God, Wisdom is meant to dwell with humans and have good relationship with them while she blesses them. The relationship between Wisdom and humankind seems to mirror the one with humankind and God, or at least from where I see it. Sophia again comes from God (Sir 24:3), was created before the rest of creation (24:8), and invites us to learn (24:19). Sirach mostly reiterates the monologue in Proverbs 8, but of course in a more Greek style of writing. Sophia closes out the chapter by saying those who find her, find life and favor from the LORD (8:35). She was there before the earth was constructed and was like his child and his daily delight (8:22-31). Lastly we see that Sophia was created very early. With her, kings can rule justly and govern rightly (8:15-16). She is what is right and what is moral she is the opposite of evil (8:13, 20). She speaks about how her knowledge and offering is more valuable than things here on earth like silver, gold, and jewels (8:10-11, 19). In chapter * of Proverbs we get to have the personified wisdom speak directly to us. This fear will bring understanding and wisdom that is described in verses 2-6.
They are connected and wisdom is what comes from reverence and fear of the LORD (Prov 1:7). The Pistis Sophia Unveiled is a message for all humankind, in every corner of the world.Right from the beginning of Proverbs we can see that God has a significant relationship with Sophia. In this book, the Adorable One left an extraordinary, formidable body of doctrine." This book had been conserved in secret for many centuries. Thus, all the Esoteric-Christic instructions that Jesus Christ gave to his disciples on the Mount of the Olives and other holy places is written within this book. The Pistis Sophia contains all the words of the adorable Savior of the world. It was found underground in Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs.
I want to emphatically declare that this is The Pistis Sophia, whose original is in Coptic. However, we, the Gnostics, also have our very special Bible. Study of this teaching also inspires a re-evaluation of how the Christian Gospels have been interpreted for centuries.Ībout this scripture, the commentary author Samael Aun Weor said, "The Hebrew Bible clearly connotes the Word of the Eternal One. Having read this text, it becomes very clear why the established religious powers attempted to obliterate the Gnostics, but failed. This scripture is remarkable for its profound mysticism, its clear rebuke of unethical behavior, and its perspective on the spiritual role of women. "The Pistis Sophia" is a sophisticated and deeply mystical teaching given by Jesus about the suffering of Sophia as she attempts to ascend to the highest spiritual truth. Includes an extensive commentary by Samael Aun Weor. The Apostles wrote down what Jesus taught them during those eleven years, resulting in "The Pistis Sophia," the most important Gnostic scripture. "It came to pass, when Jesus had risen from the dead, that he passed eleven years discoursing with his disciples, and instructing them." -The Pistis Sophia The most important work of Christian wisdom ever written: The Gnostic Bible, The Pistis Sophia.
