  1   1     |            of the saintly Job, for there he~writes that Wisdom herself
  2   2     |        which faith can do nothing? There can be no true~hope without
  3   3     |         not yet learned everything there is to ~know. For that matter,
  4   3     |             Thus, whatever defects there ~are in a soul are privations
  5   4     |            itself being destroyed. There is good reason, therefore,
  6   4     |       privation of the good. Where there is no~privation of the good,
  7   4     |          no~privation of the good, there is no evil. Where there
  8   4     |            there is no evil. Where there is evil, there is a corresponding
  9   4     |         evil. Where there is evil, there is a corresponding diminution
 10   4     |          thing is being corrupted, there is good in it of which it
 11   4     |            to be total and entire, there is no~good left either,
 12   4     |          From this it follows that there is nothing to be called
 13   4     |       nothing to be called evil if there is nothing good. A~good
 14   4     |            is entirely good. Where there is some evil in a thing,
 15   4     |      defective or defectible. Thus there can be no evil where there
 16   4     |         there can be no evil where there is no good. This leads us~
 17   4     |         good is ever evil and that there is no evil apart from something
 18   4     |          actual entity. Therefore, there can be nothing evil ~except
 19   4     |         yet not be wicked, whereas there cannot be wickedness except~
 20   4     |        thus coexistent, so that if there were no good in what is
 21   4     |           are not anything at all. There is no other source whence
 22   4     |           which is good in itself, there can spring forth either
 23   4     |            a good or an evil will. There was no ~other place from
 24   5     |         causes of physical motion, there is nothing of greater concern~
 25   5     |         from us, and what patience there must be in unknowing.~
 26   5     |        would not prefer ignorance? There are some things, after all, ~
 27   5     |            than to know. Likewise, there is sometimes profit in error -
 28   5     |            swept me away,"~31~~for there is such a thing as a fortunate
 29   6     |         every lie is a~sin, albeit there is a great difference depending
 30   6     |    happened to me on that journey, there is even~something good that
 31   7     |          nothing is ~believed. And there are truths about things
 32   7     |    altogether certain as well. And there are many things that are
 33   7     |         Nor should we suppose that there is any such thing as a lie
 34   8     |         toward the ~Kingdom, where there will be life without death,
 35   8     |            good. ~In train of this there crept in, even without his
 36   8     |         than a feeling of plenty - there flows out every kind of
 37   8     |          appetite for blessedness. There~are the evils that both

 39   8     | reformation in the case of men, as there is none for the wicked angels,
 40   9     |        sufficient by itself~unless there is also the mercy of God."
 41   9     |        sufficient by~itself unless there is also the will of man.
 42  10     |        such perturbation in him as~there is in the soul of a wrathful
 43  11     |           Word and man.~Why should there be such great glory to a
 44  12     |          dare to say such a thing? There is no need to show by argument
 45  12     |        Spirit and the Virgin Mary, there is in each nature (in both

 51  13     |     because, as I explained above, there are so many sins in that

 53  14     |                                50. There is a difference, however.

 55  14     |            into his own~death. For there is no exception in the saying, "
 56  14     |                                55. There are two ways~to interpret
 57  15     |            any apostates, nor will there be again, since that time
 58  15     |      society? What differences are~there in rank among the angels,
 59  15     |            without exception - yet~there are archangels there as
 60  15     |           yet~there are archangels there as well? Again, should these

 64  16     |         the peace of God, which is there, will~still doubtless surpass

 68  18     |   different kinds of~faithful men. There is, for example, the man
 69  19     |       Forgive us our debts"~(since there is no lack of debts to be
 70  19     |          evil even for evil. Thus, there are many kinds of~alms,
 71  21     |          shame you. Can it be that there is not a wise man ~among

 75  23     |      reborn." ~For, if we say that there is a resurrection for them,
 76  23     |            to live in the womb? Is there~some form of hidden life,
 77  23     |           if the fetuses were left there dead, would~seem much too
 78  23     |           that at the resurrection there will be one double man,
 79  23     |         and not~rather two men, as there would have been if they
 80  23     |       brought to life~anew because there were differences in stature
 81  23     |       bodies of those rising again there is to be an intelligible
 82  23     |           nothing unseemly will be there, and whatever is there will
 83  23     |          be there, and whatever is there will be fitting,~and this

 85  23     |              but only ~body, since there are bodies that are called "
 86  23     |      corpus ~spirituale]."~197 For there will then be such a concord
 87  23     |        sustenance therefrom - that there will be no ~further conflict
 88  23     |      within ourselves. And just as there will be no more external
 89  23     |         and deformed ~members - is there any reason for us to labor
 90  23     |  corruptible if it cannot die. For there is no true life unless it
 91  24     |            is the will of God, how there are things he~can do but
 92  24     |          obviously is not true, if there is anything that he willed
 93  25     |           shall~we say to this? Is there unrighteousness in God?

 95  25     |          that is, "God forbid that there should be unfairness in
 96  25     |         mercy in saying, "So then, there is no~question of him who
 97  25     |          but~justice. For with God there is no ~injustice. Thus,
 98  25     |     another for ignoble, use?"~216~There are some stupid men who

100  26     |       should go to Jerusalem, lest there he~should suffer the things
101  27     |            his salvation: not that there is no man whose salvation
102  27     |          man."~222 This means that there is no man who~is enlightened
103  27     |         saved," does not mean~that there is no one whose salvation
104  27     |    anything that he hath not done. There must be no equivocation
105  28     |          even then, however, could there have been any merit without
106  28     |            man's own hands -~since there is no one who could not

110  29     |            the final resurrection, there is~a secret shelter for
111  29     |                               110. There is no denying that the souls
112  29     |            be of help to them. For there is a mode of life that is
113  29     |     benefit from them after death. There is,~however, a good mode
114  29     |         and men. In the one group, there will be~no will to sin,

117  29     |            further to suppose that there can be an end for ~those

121  30     |         petitions. Yet, obviously, there is no discrepancy here,
122  30     |             as if to indicate that there is only one petition - "
123  31     |       without love, it may be that there is something without which,
124  31     |          life eternal - and who is there who does not love that? -
