5521 1, 92 | understanding, and will or love of God, this image is not in man ~
5522 1, 92 | conformed to ~the image of God by the beatific vision;
5523 1, 92 | Therefore ~the image of God exists in us even according
5524 1, 92 | xiv, 12): "The image of God ~exists in the mind, not
5525 1, 92 | remember, ~understand, and love God by Whom it was made." Much
5526 1, 92 | therefore, is ~the image of God in the soul, in respect
5527 1, 92 | both. Moreover the Word of God is born of God by the knowledge
5528 1, 92 | the Word of God is born of God by the knowledge of ~Himself;

5530 1, 92 | born of the knowledge of God, and to the love derived ~
5531 1, 92 | therefrom. Thus the image of God is found in the soul according
