"And (IV 20, 11: having created [...]) everything, he organized according to the model of the first
aeons which had come into being, so that he might
create them like the indestructible ones. Not because
he had seen the indestructible ones, but the power
in him, which he had taken from
his mother, produced in him the likeness of
the cosmos. And when he saw the creation which surrounds
him, and the multitude of the angels around
him which had come forth from him,
he said to them, 'I am a jealous God,
and there is no other God beside me.' But by
announcing this he indicated to the angels
who attended him that there exists another God.
For if there were no other one, of whom
would he be jealous?"
