English (Strong)

from γινώσκω; knowing (the act), i.e. (by implication) knowledge: knowledge, science.

English (Thayer)

γνώσεως, ἡ (γινώσκω) (from Thucydides down), knowledge: with the genitive of the object, σωτηρίας, τοῦ Θεοῦ, the knowledge of God, such as is offered in the gospel, τῆς δόξης τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐν προσώπῳ Χριστοῦ, Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, of Christ as a saviour, τοῦ Θεοῦ, the knowledge of things which belongs to God, γνῶσις, by itself, signifies in general intelligence, understanding: ψευδωνομος γνῶσις, Wisdom of Solomon , such as is seen in right living, κατά γνῶσιν, wisely, knowledge: what is known concerning divine things and human duties, γνῶσις and σοφία are used together the former seems to be knowledge regarded by itself, the latter wisdom as exhibited in action: γνῶσις is simply intuitive, σοφία is ratiocinative also; γνῶσις applies chiefly to the apprehension of truths, σοφία superadds the power of reasoning about them and tracing their relations." Lightfoot on Colossians , the passage cited. To much the same effect Fritzsche (on Romans , the passage cited), "γνῶσις perspicientia veri, σοφία sapientia aut mentis sollertia, quae cognita intellectaque veritate utatur, ut res efficiendas efficiat. Meyer (on 1 Corinthians , the passage cited) nearly reverses Lightfoot's distinction; elsewhere, however (e. g. on Colossians , the passage cited, cf. 9), he and others regard σοφία merely as the more general, γνῶσις as the more restricted and special term. Cf. Lightfoot as above; Trench, § lxxv.)

Wikipedia EN

Gnosis is the common Greek noun for knowledge (γνῶσις, gnōsis, f.). The term is used in various Hellenistic religions and philosophies. It is best known from Gnosticism, where it signifies a spiritual knowledge or insight into humanity's real nature as divine, leading to the deliverance of the divine spark within humanity from the constraints of earthly existence.
