635 11 | justified from their sins by the selfsame grace ~which made
636 11 | grace ~which made it so that the man Christ had no power

671 12 | Are we, then, to say that the Holy Spirit is the Father
672 12 | that the Holy Spirit is the Father of Christ's human
673 12 | human nature, so that as~God the Father generated the Word,
674 12 | God the Father generated the Word, so the Holy Spirit

678 12 | Son of God the Father as the Word, Son of the Holy~Spirit
679 12 | Father as the Word, Son of the Holy~Spirit as man? Do we
680 12 | man? Do we suppose that the Holy Spirit is his Father
681 12 | through begetting him of the~Virgin Mary? Who would dare

688 12 | Almighty, from whom proceeds the Holy Spirit.~How, then,
689 12 | say that Christ is born of the Holy Spirit, if the Holy
690 12 | born of the Holy Spirit, if the Holy Spirit did not beget~
691 12 | our Lord Jesus Christ - in the~form of God - all things
692 12 | himself was made, even as~the apostle says: "He was made
693 12 | apostle says: "He was made of the seed of David according

695 12 | since that ~creature which the Virgin conceived and bore,
696 12 | though it was related to the Person of the Son~alone,
697 12 | related to the Person of the Son~alone, was made by the

870 14 | understand nothing~other in the baptism of Christ than the
871 14 | the baptism of Christ than the likeness of the death of
872 14 | Christ than the likeness of the death of Christ. The death
873 14 | of the death of Christ. The death of Christ ~crucified
874 14 | crucified is nothing other than the likeness of the forgiveness
875 14 | other than the likeness of the forgiveness of sins - so
876 14 | forgiveness of sins - so that in the very same~sense in which
877 14 | very same~sense in which the death is real, so also is
878 14 | death is real, so also is the forgiveness of our sins
879 14 | of our sins real, and in the same sense ~in which his
880 14 | therefore he himself raised the question whether, because

883 14 | that we are baptized into the death of Christ shows that
884 14 | there is no exception in the saying, "All we who are
885 14 | baptized into his death." And the effect of this is to show
886 14 | being born? What follows in~the epistle also pertains to
887 14 | Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the

892 14 | also united with him in the likeness of his resurrection,
893 14 | crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed,
894 14 | Christ, being raised from the dead, dies no more; death

899 14 | To what sin, save that of the flesh in which he existed,
900 14 | not as sinner,~but in "the likeness of sin" and which
901 14 | was, therefore, called by the name of sin? Thus, to ~those
902 14 | to ~those baptized into the death of Christ - into which
903 14 | was done, therefore, in the crucifixion of Christ, his
904 14 | burial, his resurrection on~the third day, his ascension
905 14 | heaven, his being seated at the Father's right hand - all
906 14 | also serve as a~model for the Christian life which we
