Setheus

In Gnosticism, Setheus is one of the great celestial powers dwelling in the Sixth Heaven.

The ancient Gnostic text known as the Bruce Codex was discovered near Alexandria, Egypt in 1769 and translated into German in 1892 by Carl Schmidt.

In Chapter Eight, the text describes Setheus: "This truly is the only-begotten God.

This is he to whom the creation prays as God, and as Lord, and as Saviour, and as one to whom they have submitted themselves.

And they bless him again, saying to the Son who is hidden within him : "Thou art existent, thou art the only-begotten one, the light and the life and the grace (Charis)."
