Irenæus I. vii. 5: “They (the Valentinians) conceive of three kinds of men, spiritual, material, and animal. … These three natures are no longer found in one person, but constitute various kinds of men. … And again subdividing the animal souls themselves, they say that some are by nature good, and others by nature evil.” Origen on Romans, Lib. VIII. § 10: “I know not how those who come from the School of Valentinus and Basilides … suppose that there are souls of one nature which are always safe and never perish, and others which always perish, and are never saved.”
