 Este pasaje de "El secreto de Juan" muestra la importancia de la reencarnación en la teología gnóstica.
-The Gnostics used the concept of reincarnation to explain pain, suffering and the inequities of life. The Christian philosopher Basilides, who taught in the early second century and probably before, said that reincarnation explains why seemingly innocent people suffer martyrdom.

 Another Gnostic text, ''Pistis Sophia'', outlines an elaborate system of reward and punishment that includes reincarnation. The text explains differences in fate as the effects of pastlife actions. A “man who curses” is given a body that will be continually “troubled in heart.” A “man who slanders” receives a body that will be “oppressed.” A thief receives a “lame, crooked and blind body.” A “proud” and “scornful” man receives “a lame and ugly body” that “everyone continually despises.”<ref>Violet MacDermont, trans., ''Pistis Sophia'', 144, 146, Nag Hammadi Studies 9 (Leiden: E.J. Brill, 1978), 749, 753, 757, 759.</ref> Thus earth, as well as hell, becomes the place of punishment.
