Summary/Abstract: This article treats about the most common abstract concepts included in gnosic writings. They are: the gnosic, the truth, the light, the rest. They make kind of web of concepts, which complete each other, but they also can exist separately. The most universal of them is “the light”, which contains other ideas. Analysis of concepts is based on the comparison gnostic gospel with The gospel of John. “The light” make both gospels similar and allows perceived gnostic element in The gospel of John.
