444 1, 21 | that the recognition of God is in no way hostile to
445 1, 21 | rooted and perfected in God. For man was made an intelligent

469 2, 32 | 32. As God did not create man for life

480 3, 34 | energy are in opposition to God's power, and that the rational
481 3, 34 | human race are a sign of God's grace and the flowering
482 3, 36 | faith derive from the same God. 6 Indeed whoever labors
483 3, 36 | being led by the hand of God, who holds all things in
484 3, 36 | things do not depend on God, and that man can use them
485 3, 36 | anyone who acknowledges God will see how false such
