Irenaeus Against Heresies Book II

Whence, then, comes the passion of the youngest Aeon, if the light of the Father is that from which all other lights have been formed, and which is by nature impassible?

And if any one calls them stars, they will all nevertheless appear to participate in the same nature. For if "one star differs from another star in glory,"[89]

How will one star also differ from another star in glory, unless in virtue of disparity in their rays?[39]
