|txtha=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.)
