14 ApCreed, 1 | one is ~acceptable before God unless he have faith. "Without

33 ApCreed, 2 | first - ~that there is one God. We must see that God means
34 ApCreed, 2 | one God. We must see that God means the ruler and provider
35 ApCreed, 2 | therefore, believes in God who believes that everything
36 ApCreed, 2 | believe that there is a God. ~No one is so foolish as
37 ApCreed, 2 | who does not believe in God: "The fool ~hath said in
38 ApCreed, 2 | in his heart: There is no God."1~ ~There are those, however,
39 ApCreed, 2 | however, who believe that God rules and sustains all ~
40 ApCreed, 2 | nevertheless do not believe God is the overseer of ~the
41 ApCreed, 2 | human acts do not come under God's ~providence. They reason

50 ApCreed, 2 | eyes."5~ ~We believe that God who rules and regulates
51 ApCreed, 2 | regulates all things is but one God. This ~is seen in that wherever
52 ApCreed, 2 (6) | There is but one God, not many gods. We attribute
53 ApCreed, 2 (6) | many gods. We attribute to God the highest ~goodess and
54 ApCreed, 2 (6) | cannot have ~the nature of God" ("Roman Catechism," "The

70 ApCreed, 3 | closer things approach to God, the ~more beautiful and
71 ApCreed, 3 | things proceed from one God who gives His being ~and

73 ApCreed, 3 | things in the world are from ~God.~ ~
74 ApCreed, 3, 1 | creation is to be attributed to God. ~The cause of this error
75 ApCreed, 3, 1 | error is that they hold that God is the highest good, ~which
76 ApCreed, 3, 1 | visible things are not made by God who is good, but by ~the

91 ApCreed, 3, 2 | on the good ~to a love of God: "If we have received good
92 ApCreed, 3, 2 | things from the hand of God, ~why should we not receive
93 ApCreed, 3, 2 | things as having been made by God for two purposes: for His
94 ApCreed, 3, 2 | that is, for the glory of God), ~and finally for our profit: "
95 ApCreed, 3, 2 | profit: "Which the Lord thy God created for the service ~
96 ApCreed, 3, 2 | ought to use things for God's glory in ~order to please
97 ApCreed, 3, 2 | use all for the glory of God.~ ~(5) We are led also to
98 ApCreed, 3, 2 | the great dignity of man. God made all ~things for man: "
99 ApCreed, 3, 2 | and man ~is more like to God than all other creatures
100 ApCreed, 3, 2 | Our image and likeness."19 God does not say this of the
101 ApCreed, 3, 2 | man; and this likeness of God in man does not refer to ~
102 ApCreed, 3, 2 | and therein man resembles God more than other creatures

105 ApCreed, 4 | Christians to believe in one God who is the ~Creator of heaven
106 ApCreed, 4 | they must believe ~that God is the Father and that Christ
107 ApCreed, 4 | Christ is the true Son of God. This, as St. ~Peter says,
108 ApCreed, 4 | and proved by the word of God ~on the Mount of Transfiguration. "
109 ApCreed, 4 | greatness. For He received from God the ~Father honor and glory,
110 ApCreed, 4 | Himself in many places called God His Father, ~and Himself
111 ApCreed, 4 | and Himself the Son of God. Both the Apostles and the
112 ApCreed, 4 | that Christ is the Son of God by saying: "And (I believe) ~
113 ApCreed, 4 | Jesus Christ, His (i.e., God's) only Son."2~ ~
114 ApCreed, 4 (2) | Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and true God, like the
115 ApCreed, 4 (2) | the Son of God, and true God, like the Father who begot ~
116 ApCreed, 4, 1 | Christ is not the Son of God but a good man ~who, by
117 ApCreed, 4, 1 | and by doing the will of God, merited to be called the ~
118 ApCreed, 4, 1 | to be called the ~son of God by adoption; and so Christ
119 ApCreed, 4, 1 | life and did the ~will of God merited to be called the
120 ApCreed, 4, 1 | to be called the son of God. Moreover, this error would ~
121 ApCreed, 4, 1 | Christ is not the true Son of God according to His nature; ~
122 ApCreed, 4, 1 | holds that He is the Son of God in His nature, and that
123 ApCreed, 4, 1 | the only-~begotten Son of God," is against the first error;
124 ApCreed, 4, 1 | the ~Trinity of Persons in God, and against it is this
125 ApCreed, 4, 1 | the ~Fathers it is said: "God of God; Light of Light,"
126 ApCreed, 4, 1 | Fathers it is said: "God of God; Light of Light," that is,
127 ApCreed, 4, 1 | is, we are to ~believe in God the Son from God the Father,
128 ApCreed, 4, 1 | believe in God the Son from God the Father, and the Son
129 ApCreed, 4, 1 | Christ: (1) that the Son of ~God was a creature; (2) that
130 ApCreed, 4, 1 | all creatures in time by God; (3) that God the Son is
131 ApCreed, 4, 1 | in time by God; (3) that God the Son is not of one ~nature
132 ApCreed, 4, 1 | not of one ~nature with God the Father, and therefore
133 ApCreed, 4, 1 | therefore that He was not true God. But ~this too is erroneous
134 ApCreed, 4, 1 | just as ~the Father is true God, so also is the Son. That
135 ApCreed, 4, 1 | Symbol" by the Fathers: "True God of ~true God;" and the assertion
136 ApCreed, 4, 1 | Fathers: "True God of ~true God;" and the assertion that
137 ApCreed, 4, 1 | is the Only-begotten of ~God, and the true Son of God,
138 ApCreed, 4, 1 | God, and the true Son of God, who always was with the
139 ApCreed, 4, 2 | generation. ~The generation of God is different from that of
140 ApCreed, 4, 2 | approaches to a ~likeness to God. We have seen that nothing
141 ApCreed, 4, 2 | approaches in likeness to God ~more than the human soul.
142 ApCreed, 4, 2 | word. So also the Son of God is the ~Word of God, not
143 ApCreed, 4, 2 | Son of God is the ~Word of God, not like a word that is
144 ApCreed, 4, 2 | conceived; and this Word of God is ~of the one nature as
145 ApCreed, 4, 2 | is ~of the one nature as God and equal to God.9~ ~The
146 ApCreed, 4, 2 | nature as God and equal to God.9~ ~The testimony of St.
147 ApCreed, 4, 2 | John concerning the Word of God destroys these three ~heresies,
148 ApCreed, 4 (9) | have called the word; ~so God, in so far as we may compare
149 ApCreed, 4 (9) | that Jesus Christ is true God and true Man - as God, begotten
150 ApCreed, 4 (9) | true God and true Man - as God, begotten before all ~time;
151 ApCreed, 4, 2 | And the Word was with God;"11 and ~that of Arius when
152 ApCreed, 4, 2 | says: "And the Word was God.12~ ~But a word in us is
153 ApCreed, 4, 2 | the same as the Word in God. In us the word is an ~accident;13
154 ApCreed, 4, 2 | accident;13 whereas in God the Word is the same as
155 ApCreed, 4, 2 | the Word is the same as God, since there is ~nothing
156 ApCreed, 4, 2 | since there is ~nothing in God that is not of the essence
157 ApCreed, 4, 2 | is not of the essence of God. No one would say God has ~
158 ApCreed, 4, 2 | of God. No one would say God has ~not a Word, because
159 ApCreed, 4, 2 | because such would make God wholly without knowledge;
160 ApCreed, 4, 2 | knowledge; and ~therefore, as God always existed, so also
161 ApCreed, 4, 2 | which is ~his word; so also God makes all things by His
162 ApCreed, 4, 2 | Now, if the Word of God is the Son of God and all
163 ApCreed, 4, 2 | Word of God is the Son of God and all the words of God
164 ApCreed, 4, 2 | God and all the words of God bear a ~certain likeness
165 ApCreed, 4, 2 | ought to hear the Word of God ~gladly; for such is a sign
166 ApCreed, 4, 2 | such is a sign that we love God. We ought also believe the
167 ApCreed, 4, 2 | also believe the word ~of God whereby the Word of God
168 ApCreed, 4, 2 | God whereby the Word of God dwells in us, who is Christ: "
169 ApCreed, 4, 2 | believe that the Word of God dwells in us, ~but also
170 ApCreed, 4, 2 | communicate ~the word of God to others by advising, preaching
171 ApCreed, 4, 2 | ought ~to put the word of God into practice: "Be ye doers
172 ApCreed, 4, 2 | gave birth to the ~Word of God. First, she heard what was
173 ApCreed, 4, 2 | brought forth the Word of God and, finally, she nourished ~
174 ApCreed, 5 | only believe in the Son of God, as we have seen, but ~also
175 ApCreed, 5 | nothing more like the Word of God than the word ~which is
176 ApCreed, 5 | as long as the Word of ~God was in the heart of the
177 ApCreed, 5 | paper. So also the Word of God was made both visible and ~
178 ApCreed, 5 | Man to whom the ~Word of God is conjoined in one "hypostasis"5
179 ApCreed, 5 | hypostasis"5 is called the Son of God. ~"Take thee a great book
180 ApCreed, 5, 1 | heaven." In this the love of God for us is made more apparent.~ ~
181 ApCreed, 5, 1 | life in doing the will of God merited to ~become the son
182 ApCreed, 5, 1 | merited to ~become the son of God even as other holy men.
183 ApCreed, 5, 1 | Christ was always the Son of God and He ~descended from heaven,
184 ApCreed, 5 (10) | our only Lord, the ~son of God when He assumed human flesh
185 ApCreed, 5 (10) | the same Person, remaining God as He was from all eternity,
186 ApCreed, 5, 1 | shall be called the Son ~of God."12 And the Apostle adds: "
187 ApCreed, 5, 1 | fullness of time was come, ~God sent His Son, made of a
188 ApCreed, 5, 1 | although Christ was the Word of God and ~was born of the Virgin
189 ApCreed, 5, 1 | who said that the Son of God only by an indwelling was
190 ApCreed, 5, 1 | you, which I have heard of God.17~ ~
191 ApCreed, 5, 2 | Baptist told something of God; but men did not ~believe
192 ApCreed, 5, 2 | believed Christ, who was with God, nay more, was one ~with
193 ApCreed, 5, 2 | nay more, was one ~with God. Hence, far more firm is
194 ApCreed, 5, 2 | Himself: "No one hath seen God at any time; the only-begotten
195 ApCreed, 5, 2 | charity so clear ~as that God, the Creator of all things,
196 ApCreed, 5, 2 | brother, and that the Son of God is made the Son of man: "
197 ApCreed, 5, 2 | made the Son of man: "For ~God so loved the world as to
198 ApCreed, 5, 2 | consideration of this our love for God ought to be re-ignited and
199 ApCreed, 5, 2 | ennobled by its union with God to the extent of being assumed
200 ApCreed, 5 (24) | II Peter, i, 4. "God deigned to assume the lowliness
201 ApCreed, 5 (24) | now glory that the Son of God is bone of our bone, and
202 ApCreed, 6 | and ~death of the Son of God as it is to believe in His
203 ApCreed, 6 | it to you."1 The grace of God is so great and His love ~
204 ApCreed, 6 | For He did not die as ~God, but as man.2~ ~This will
205 ApCreed, 6 | the Jews could not ~slay God, yet in putting to death
206 ApCreed, 6 | viz., that the Son ~of God is the Word of God, and
207 ApCreed, 6 | Son ~of God is the Word of God, and the Word of God made
208 ApCreed, 6 | of God, and the Word of God made flesh is like the word ~
209 ApCreed, 6 | they had slain the Word of ~God.~ ~But what need was there
210 ApCreed, 6 | was there that the Son of God should suffer for us? There
211 ApCreed, 6, 1 | trodden underfoot the Son ~of God and hath esteemed the blood
212 ApCreed, 6, 1 | commit an offense against God. A sensual man loves the
213 ApCreed, 6, 1 | beauty ~of the flesh, but God loves spiritual beauty,
214 ApCreed, 6, 1 | soul is defiled by sin, God is offended and the ~sinner
215 ApCreed, 6, 1 | sinner incurs His hatred: "To God the wicked and his wickedness
216 ApCreed, 6, 1 | which made ~satisfaction to God the Father for sin - a thing
217 ApCreed, 6, 1 | we ~were reconciled to God by the death of His Son."8~ ~
218 ApCreed, 6, 1 | well from which, without God's help, he would never be
219 ApCreed, 6, 1 | from his sins when aided by God's grace conferred by the ~
220 ApCreed, 6, 1 | sin. For the justice of God ~demands that whosoever
221 ApCreed, 6, 1 | the infinite good, namely, God, whose ~commandments the

234 ApCreed, 8, 1 | was not only Man but also God, ~and the Divinity of the

243 ApCreed, 9, 1 | Inasmuch as ~Christ is God, He is said to sit at the
244 ApCreed, 9 (5) | affections and human members to God, who is pure ~spirit and
245 ApCreed, 9, 2 | beginning of ~Christ is from God, who is above all things: "

255 ApCreed, 10, 2 | the ~poor in spirit for God's sake who rather shall

257 ApCreed, 10, 2 | all things that are ~done, God will bring into judgment

262 ApCreed, 10, 3 | Lamb."29 But this anger of God does not bespeak in ~Him
263 ApCreed, 10, 4 | charity, viz., the love of God and our neighbor, for "charity
264 ApCreed, 11 | we have said, the Word of God is the Son of God just as
265 ApCreed, 11 | Word of God is the Son of God just as in a way the ~word
266 ApCreed, 11 | points out.2 The ~word of God, however, is alive: "For
267 ApCreed, 11 | alive: "For the word of God is living."3 It is ~necessary,
268 ApCreed, 11 | necessary, therefore, that in God there be will and love.
269 ApCreed, 11 | Augustine says: "The word of God which we plan to speak is
270 ApCreed, 11 | love."4 Now, as the Word of God is the Son of God, God's
271 ApCreed, 11 | Word of God is the Son of God, God's love is the Holy ~
272 ApCreed, 11 | of God is the Son of God, God's love is the Holy ~Ghost.

286 ApCreed, 11, 1 | the Holy Ghost were not God, then it would not be said ~
287 ApCreed, 11, 1 | the prophets had spoken of God on His behalf. Thus, says
288 ApCreed, 11, 1 | Peter: ~"The holy men of God spoke, inspired by the Holy

353 10Command, 0, 1 | of which concerns loving God and the other concerns loving ~
354 10Command, 0, 1 | loving ~our neighbor.~ ~Now God, in delivering the law to
355 10Command, 0, 1 | referred to the love of God; and the seven Commandments ~
356 10Command, 0, 1 | which relates to the love of God is: "Thou shalt not ~have
357 10Command, 0 (1) | epitome of the entire law of God," is ~the opinion of St.
358 10Command, 0 (1) | whatever else is commanded by God. Again, these ten ~commandments
359 10Command, 0 (1) | reducible to two, the love of God and our neighbor, on ~which '

363 10Command, 0, 1 | honor other men ~more than God: "He that loveth his father
364 10Command, 0, 1 | and thou hast said: I am God."12 Such are also those
365 10Command, 0, 1 | than in the precepts of God. They ~worship themselves
366 10Command, 0, 1 | their own bodies instead of God: "Their god is their belly."13
367 10Command, 0, 1 | bodies instead of God: "Their god is their belly."13 We ~must,

369 10Command, 0, 2 | worship other than the one God. We shall ~now consider
370 10Command, 0, 2 | five reasons for this.~ ~God's Dignity. - The first reason
371 10Command, 0, 2 | reason is the dignity of God which, were it ~belittled-in
372 10Command, 0, 2 | way, would be an injury to God. We see something similar ~
373 10Command, 0, 2 | conduct of some towards God: "They changed the ~glory
374 10Command, 0, 2 | glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the
375 10Command, 0, 2 | is highly displeasing to God: "I will not give My ~glory
376 10Command, 0, 2 | known ~that the dignity of God consists in His omniscience,
377 10Command, 0, 2 | omniscience, since the name of God, ~Deus, is from "seeing,"
378 10Command, 0, 2 | But this dignity of God is ~denied Him by practitioners
379 10Command, 0, 2 | the people seek of their God, for the living and the
380 10Command, 0, 2 | living and the dead?"18~ ~God's Bounty. - We receive every
381 10Command, 0, 2 | receive every good from God; and this also is of the ~
382 10Command, 0, 2 | also is of the ~dignity of God, that He is the maker and
383 10Command, 0, 2 | implied in the name of God, namely, Deus, which is
384 10Command, 0, 2 | make for yourself another ~god; just as the sons of Israel
385 10Command, 0, 2 | trust in someone other than God, and this occurs when one ~
386 10Command, 0, 2 | Now that you have known God . . . how ~turn you again
387 10Command, 0, 2 | have promised fidelity to ~God alone. This is a promise
388 10Command, 0, 2 | trodden under foot the Son ~of God, and hath esteemed the blood
389 10Command, 0, 2 | this ~is true of service to God; for His Commandments are
390 10Command, 0, 2 | done ~enough if he does for God as much as what he has done
391 10Command, 0, 2 | shall be as the Angels of God in heaven."33 It was with
392 10Command, 0 (34)| words, 'I ~am the Lord thy God.' They will learn from these
393 10Command, 0 (34)| Christians who are liberated by God, not from the ~bondage ot
394 10Command, 0 (34)| worship Me who am the true God, thou shalt ~not worship
395 10Command, 1 | the Name of the Lord Thy God in ~Vain."~ ~This is the
396 10Command, 1 | Just as there is but one God ~whom we must worship, so
397 10Command, 1 | worship, so there is only one God whom we should reverence
398 10Command, 1 | reference to the name of God. ~"Thou shalt not take the
399 10Command, 1 | the name of the Lord thy God in vain."1~ ~
400 10Command, 1 (1) | profane the most holy name of God thousands of times" ("Roman ~
401 10Command, 1, 1 | therefore, takes the name of God in vain when one uses it
402 10Command, 1, 1 | so doing does ~injury to God, to himself, and to all
403 10Command, 1, 1 | men.~ ~It is an insult to God because, when you swear
404 10Command, 1, 1 | because, when you swear by God, it is nothing other ~than
405 10Command, 1, 1 | falsely, you either believe ~God to be ignorant of the truth
406 10Command, 1, 1 | thus place ignorance in God, whereas ~"all things are
407 10Command, 1, 1 | eyes,"5 or you think that God loves a ~lie, whereas He
408 10Command, 1, 1 | himself to the ~judgment of God. It is the same thing to
409 10Command, 1, 1 | the same thing to say, "By God this is so," as to ~say, "
410 10Command, 1, 1 | is so," as to ~say, "May God punish me if it is not so!"~ ~
411 10Command, 1, 1 | this precept does injury to God, ~is cruel to himself, and
412 10Command, 1, 1 | that they are vain."8 God's name, therefore, is taken
413 10Command, 1, 1 | the ~name of the Lord thy God in vain."9 And Christ forbade
414 10Command, 1, 1 | And let not the name of God be ~usual in thy mouth,
415 10Command, 1, 1 | sin, takes the name of his God in vain. Justice consists ~
416 10Command, 1, 2 | is ~not the knowledge of God."18 Accordingly, he who
417 10Command, 1 (17)| it is sufficient to call ~God to witness, yet to make
418 10Command, 1, 2 | he who takes the name of God ~foolishly, by blasphemy,
419 10Command, 1, 2 | blasphemy, takes the name of God in vain: "And he that ~blasphemeth
420 10Command, 1, 3 | TAKING GOD'S NAME JUSTLY~ ~"Thou shalt
421 10Command, 1, 3 | the name of the Lord thy God in vain." However, the ~
422 10Command, 1, 3 | However, the ~name of God may be taken for six purposes.
423 10Command, 1, 3 | an oath. In this we show God alone is the first Truth,
424 10Command, 1, 3 | we show due reverence to God. For this reason it was
425 10Command, 1, 3 | must not swear except by God.20 They who swore otherwise ~
426 10Command, 1, 3 | the same as swearing by God. When you swear by your
427 10Command, 1, 3 | yourself to be punished by God. Thus: "But ~I call God
428 10Command, 1, 3 | God. Thus: "But ~I call God to witness upon my soul."22
429 10Command, 1, 3 | the Gospel, ~you swear by God who gave the Gospel. But
430 10Command, 1, 3 | sin who swear either by God ~or by the Gospel for any
431 10Command, 1, 3 | Christ, and the Spirit of God."23 ~Baptism, however, does
432 10Command, 1, 3 | to his sins, the name of God has been ~taken in vain.~ ~
433 10Command, 1, 3 | taken in vain.~ ~Fourthly, God's name is taken in order
434 10Command, 1, 3 | show forth the glory of God: "And every one ~that calleth
435 10Command, 1, 3 | anything against the glory of God, he takes the name of God
436 10Command, 1, 3 | God, he takes the name of God in ~vain. Secondly, we confess
437 10Command, 1, 3 | vain. Secondly, we confess God's name by our works, when
438 10Command, 1, 3 | very actions ~show forth God's glory: "That they may
439 10Command, 1, 3 | Through you the name of God is blasphemed ~among the
440 10Command, 1, 3 | And this again is taking God's name in vain. "If thou
441 10Command, 1, 3 | hast ~vowed anything to God, defer not to pay it."36 "
442 10Command, 1, 3 | and pay to the Lord ~your God; all ye that are round about
443 10Command, 2 | first commanded to adore God in our hearts, and the Commandment
444 10Command, 2 | Commandment is ~to worship one God: "Thou shalt not have strange
445 10Command, 2 | we are told to reverence God by word: "Thou shalt not ~
446 10Command, 2 | the name of the Lord thy God in vain." The Third commands
447 10Command, 2 | commands us to ~reverence God by act. It is: "Remember
448 10Command, 2 | holy the Sabbath ~day."1 God wished that a certain day
449 10Command, 2, 1 | created by the word of God."2 God, therefore, ~wished
450 10Command, 2, 1 | created by the word of God."2 God, therefore, ~wished that
451 10Command, 2 (5) | Church. . . . The Church of God has thought it ~well to
452 10Command, 2, 1 | corruption."7 Wherefore, God wished that ~the Sabbath
453 10Command, 2, 1 | pass on that day, that when God shall ~give thee rest from
454 10Command, 2, 1 | i.e., excite ~love for God) during a certain portion
455 10Command, 2, 1 | being entirely ~apart from God, find it necessary to have
456 10Command, 2, 1 | lukewarm in their love of God: "If you call the Sabbath
457 10Command, 2, 1 | shalt lift up thy face to God."17 And ~accordingly this
458 10Command, 2, 1 | praise and pray to the Lord God. Wherefore, St. Augustine
459 10Command, 2, 2 | days. We ought to know that God did not say to "keep" the ~
460 10Command, 2, 2 | consecrated to the worship of God, as, for ~instance, a place,
461 10Command, 2, 2 | of our superiors. Thus, ~God commanded the Jews to circumcise
462 10Command, 2, 2 | both by working and by sin God is ~offended.28 "The Sabbaths
463 10Command, 2, 3 | pure" and "consecrated to God." Moreover, we have indicated ~
464 10Command, 2, 3 | xxviii) it is written how God ordered that on each day ~
465 10Command, 2, 3 | should offer sacrifice to God from all that we possess: "
466 10Command, 2, 3 | first of all, our soul to God, being sorry for our sins: ~"
467 10Command, 2, 3 | our sins: ~"A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit;"39
468 10Command, 2, 3 | brethren, by the mercy of God, that you present your ~
469 10Command, 2, 3 | and also by praising God: "The sacrifice of ~praise
470 10Command, 2, 3 | impart; for by such sacrifice God's favor ~is obtained."44
471 10Command, 2, 3 | the Lord."45~ ~Hearing of God's Word. - Our second duty
472 10Command, 2, 3 | eager to ~hear the word of God. This the Jews did daily: "
473 10Command, 2, 3 | the Church! "He that is God, heareth the ~words of God."47
474 10Command, 2, 3 | God, heareth the ~words of God."47 We likewise ought to
475 10Command, 2, 3 | I hidden in my heart."51 God's ~word enlightens the ignorant: "
476 10Command, 2, 4 | soul's proper rest ~is in God: "Be Thou unto me a God,
477 10Command, 2, 4 | God: "Be Thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house
478 10Command, 2, 4 | of rest for the people of God. For he that ~is entered
479 10Command, 2, 4 | rested from his works, as God ~did from His."57 When I
480 10Command, 2, 5 | soul rests peacefully in God: "If thou ~call the Sabbath
481 10Command, 2 (62)| of rest for the people of God' (Eph., v. 8), is that life
482 10Command, 2 (62)| And in this vision of ~God the souls of the saints
483 10Command, 3 | land which the Lord thy God will give thee."1~ ~Perfection
484 10Command, 3 | consists in the love of God and of neighbor. Now, the ~
485 10Command, 3 | pertain to the ~love of God; for the love of neighbor
486 10Command, 3 | mother. "We ought to ~love God first," says St. Ambrose, "
487 10Command, 3 | father and mother." Hence, God ~has given us the Commandment: "
488 10Command, 3, 1 | father! And he is cursed of ~God that angereth his mother."13
489 10Command, 3, 1 | things which are ~contrary to God. St. Jerome says that the
490 10Command, 3, 1 | This is to say that God is in the truest sense our
491 10Command, 3, 2 | may come upon thee from God, and His blessing ~may remain
492 10Command, 3, 2 | are cursed in the law by God.20 It is ~also written: "
493 10Command, 3, 2 | time; for his soul pleased ~God."23 Thus, for example, he
494 10Command, 3, 3 | respected as the ministers of God: "Remember your prelates, . . .
495 10Command, 3, 3 | there is no power but from God."39 And ~so to all such
496 10Command, 4, 1 | which tells us we must love God and our neighbor, it is ~
497 10Command, 4, 1 | St. ~Augustine says that God by this Commandment does
498 10Command, 4, 1 | according to a mandate from ~God, since in this God operates,
499 10Command, 4, 1 | from ~God, since in this God operates, and every law
500 10Command, 4, 1 | every law is a command of God: "By Me ~kings reign, and
