  • The Gospel of Perfection is a lost text from the New Testament apocrypha. The text is mentioned in ancient anti-heretical works by the church fathers. It is thought to be a gnostic text of the Ophites, and is believed by some to be the same as the Gospel of Eve, though the words of Saint Epiphanius implied that they were separate Gospels. Some others also believe that it was the same as the Gospel of Philip. In regards to the Gospel, Epiphanius stated, "Some of them (i.e. of the Gnostics) there are who vaunt the possession of a certain fictitious, far-fetched poem which they call the Gospel of Perfection, whereas it is not a Gospel, but the perfection of misery. For the bitterness of death is consummated in that production of the devil. Others without shame boast their Gospel of Eve. — Saint Epiphanius The Gospel of Perfection is also briefly discussed in the Gospel of the Infancy where, after a "lengthy account of the miracles performed by Christ while a child in Egypt", it states, "And the Lord Jesus did many miracles in Egypt, which are neither to be found in the Gospel of the Infancy, nor in the Gospel of Perfection." — Gospel of the Infancy, Chapter 25 In mystery religions, the term perfect had a special meaning, namely that someone who was a perfect had achieved total enlightenment. This is similar in some ways to the concept of achieving Nirvana within Buddhism. (en)

  • Ewangelia Doskonałości – zaginiony apokryf pochodzenia gnostyckiego. Adolf Harnack datuje apokryf na II w.. Utwór został wspomniany przez Epifaniusza w , a za nim przez Filastriusza. Obaj przedstawili tytuł apokryfu, Εύαγγέλιον Τελειώσεος (Evangelium Consummationis). Epifaniusz przypisuje autorstwo apokryfu gnostykom, Filastriusz uściśla, że byli to nikolaici. Rekonstruując treść, Harnack i proponują wyjść od cytatu Hipolita „Początkiem doskonałości jest poznanie Boga”. Pojawiły się także propozycje mające na względzie cytat Ireneusza, mówiącego o przyszłym wypełnieniu. Wypełnienie to miałoby się dokonać, kiedy to całe „ziarno światła” rozsiane po świecie zostałoby zgromadzone w jednym miejscu; taki motyw pojawia się m.in. w Ewangelii Ewy i Ewangelii Filipa. Zdaniem apokryf mógł bądź to opisywać ideał doskonałości i środki umożliwiające jego osiągnięcie, bądź być księgą przeznaczoną dla „doskonałych”, „wybranych”, bądź też był traktowany jako księga doskonała sama w sobie, jako najwyższa Ewangelia zawierająca sumę gnozy.

Outros autores defendiam também que era o Evangelho de Filipe. No Gnosticismo e em outras religiões de mistério, o termo "perfeito" tem um significado especial, de que a pessoa teria já atingido a iluminação ou seria detentora do conhecimento secreto necessário para a salvação.
