II–IV. Other ancient deniers — Carpocrates, Valentinians, Gnostics; Tertullian on partiarii of the Sadducees
II. Besides these Augustine also teaches that Carpocrates denied the resurrection (Heresy 7); a certain Marcus (Heresy 14); the Cainites (Heresy 21); the Severians (Heresy 24); the Hieracites (Heresy 47); the Seleucians and Proclianites (Heresies 59 and 60).
III. Irenaeus also, writing against the Valentinians or Gnostics (book 5, chapter 4 and following), says that they excluded the salvation of the flesh, denied it, despised its regeneration, saying that it is not capable of incorruptibility and of God's gift, which is eternal life.
IV. Tertullian likewise in On Prescriptions chapter 15 teaches that the resurrection was denied by that whole Gnostic bilge: Paul, he says, notes deniers and doubters of the resurrection. This opinion is proper to the Sadducees: Marcion and Apelles and Valentinus usurp part of it. But why he says part, he gives the reason in chapter 16 — namely that the Sadducees admit salvation neither of soul nor of flesh, namely immortality and restoration: but these who brandished the name of Christians conceded it indeed to the soul, but by no means to the flesh. Whence also Tertullian in chapter 20 called them partiarii of the Sadducees' sentence.

II. Praeter hos quoque resurrectionem negasse Carpocratem, docet Augustinus haeres. 7. Marcum quendam, haeresi 14. Cainanos, haeresi 21. Severianos, haeresi 24. Hierarchitas, haeresi 47. Seleucianos & Proclianitas, haeresi 59. & 60. III. Irenaeus quoque libro 5. cap. 4. & seqq. contra Valentinianos sive Gnosticos scribens ait, eos salutem carnis exclusisse, negasse, regenerationem ejus sprevise, dicentes non eam capacem esse incorruptibilitatis & donationis Dei, quae est vita aeterna. IV. Tertullianus item libro de praescriptionibus docet cap. 15. a tota ista Gnosticorum colluvie negatam fuisse resurrectionem: Paulus, inquiens, notat negatores & dubitatores resurrectionis. Haec opinio propria Sadduceorum: partem ejus usurpat Marcion & Apelles & Valentinus. Cur autem partem dicat, rationem reddit cap. 16. nempe Sadduceos nec animae nec carnis admittere salutem, immortalitatem videlicet & restaurationem: at hi, qui Christianorum nomen jactitabant, eam quidem animae concesserunt, carni vero nequaquam. Unde etiam Tertullianus cap. 20. eos partiarios sententiae Sadduceorum appellavit.
