The Cainites are sometimes called libertine Gnostics for believing that true perfection, and hence salvation, comes only by breaking all the laws of the Old Testament... Because it was difficult to violate all biblical laws in a single liftetime, the Cainites did not look for salvation in the created world but rather an escape from it.

Каинитов иногда называют распутными гностиками за убеждение, что подлинного совершенства, а значит, и спасения, можно достигнуть, лишь нарушив все законы Ветхого Завета... Поскольку нарушить все библейские законы в течение одной человеческой жизни трудно, каиниты надеялись не на спасение в тварном мире, а на избавление от него.

Britannica, 15th ed., vol II, 724 (Cainite)
