355 19 | hate you, and pray for them that persecute you."~159~Such
356 19 | Accordingly, it ~cannot be doubted that the terms of this pledge
357 19 | man, not yet so perfect that he~already loves his enemies,
358 19 | sins can in no way suppose that his own sins are forgiven
359 20 | them~notice to whom it was that he said it. For this is
360 20 | we interpret this to mean that to the Pharisees, who had
361 20 | apostle said, "But to them that are unclean and unbelieving
362 20 | purpose of the new birth is that we should become~pleasing
363 20 | which we were put~in need of that mercy, of which the apostle
364 20 | says, "Judgment came by that one trespass to~condemnation."~166
365 20 | commendeth his love toward us in that, while we were yet sinners,~
366 20 | ignored, and to show them that he was not~ignorant of their
367 20 | But, lest it appear that he was rejecting the kind
368 20 | things you should do" - that is, pay heed to the judgment
369 20 | not omit the others" - that is, alms done with the earth'
370 20 | deceive themselves who suppose that by giving alms - however
371 20 | also love them so much that they would always choose
372 20 | to give alms to himself, that all things~might become
373 21 | to determine. For we see that, in respect of some sins,
374 21 | One could~consider that it is not a sin for a married
375 21 | rule." Who, then, denies that it is a sin when he~agrees
376 21 | is a sin when he~agrees that apostolic authority for
377 21 | to shame you. Can it be that there is not a wise man ~
378 21 | to law with brother, and~that in the presence of ~unbelievers."~175
379 21 | here it might be thought that it was not a sin to bring
380 21 | suit against a~brother, and that the only sin consisted in
381 21 | whole fault among you is that you have lawsuits with~one
382 21 | on this point by saying that he had a just ~cause and
383 21 | Thus we are brought back to that saying of the Lord: "If
384 21 | because of this teaching that the~apostle says that this
385 21 | teaching that the~apostle says that this kind of action is "
386 21 | the Church, it is~clear that some concession is being
387 21 | are, however, some sins that could be deemed quite trifling
388 21 | Scriptures did not~show that they are more serious than
389 21 | think. For who would suppose that one saying to his ~brother, "
390 21 | altar, and remember there that your brother has something
391 21 | human doctrines and suppose that various~seasons are lucky
392 21 | And so far does this go that such sins~are not only not
393 21 | desires of his soul; and he that works iniquity is~blessed."~183~
394 21 | evil vineyard: "I looked that he should perform justice,
395 21 | but a cry."~184 So also is that passage in Genesis: "The
396 21 | come to be public customs that we not only do not dare
397 21 | although they are so great~that the Kingdom of God is wholly
398 21 | them! But grant, O Lord, that we~do not practice any of
399 22 | But we should also pray that God should guide us~away
400 22 | and my ~salvation"~187; that, as Light, he may take away
401 22 | repent, but also in order that he ~may be enabled to do
402 22 | repentance."~188 And, similarly, that Peter might be ~enabled
403 22 | man who does not believe that sins are forgiven in the
404 22 | an obstinacy of ~mind - that man is guilty of the unpardonable
405 23 | slightest~doubt as to the fact that the bodies of all men, whether
406 23 | s womb, but are never so that they could be "reborn." ~
407 23 | reborn." ~For, if we say that there is a resurrection
408 23 | them, then we can agree that at least as much is true~
409 23 | much is true~of fetuses that are fully formed. But, with
410 23 | would not more~readily think that they perish, like seeds
411 23 | they perish, like seeds that did not germinate?~192~But
412 23 | dare to affirm it either - that in~the resurrection day
413 23 | and still I do not know that~any man can answer it, namely:
414 23 | To deny, for ~example, that those fetuses ever lived
415 23 | die, nor should we believe that they will be raised as they~
416 23 | be it from us to say of that~double-limbed man recently
417 23 | from us, I say, to suppose that at the resurrection there
418 23 | normal human ~physiognomy, so that every soul will have its
419 23 | will have, as its own, all that is required to complete ~
420 23 | matter returns to the soul that first animated it, and that~
421 23 | that first animated it, and that~caused it to become a man,
422 23 | resurrection, be so restored that the parts into which it
423 23 | separated. Otherwise, to~suppose that the hair recovers what frequent
424 23 | of this original~matter that had perished is turned back
425 23 | body. The~main thing is that the providence of the [divine]
426 23 | divine] Artist takes care that nothing unbecoming will~
427 23 | 90. Nor does it follow that the stature of each person
428 23 | stature when first alive, nor that the lean will be raised~
429 23 | is in the Creator's plan, that~each shall retain his special
430 23 | composed will be so disposed that none shall be lost, and
431 23 | such as~between voices that fill out a chorus, this
432 23 | nothing on their senses that is~inharmonious. For surely
433 23 | since there are bodies that are called "heavenly ~bodies."~195
434 23 | of sustenance therefrom - that there will be no ~further
435 23 | whoever are not liberated from that mass of perdition (brought
436 23 | his own~flesh, but only that they may be punished together
437 23 | added no further sin to that originally contracted. Among
438 23 | have added ~further Sins to that one, they will suffer a
439 24 | 94. And thus it will be that while the reprobated angels
440 24 | done all things~whatsoever that he would."~202 This obviously
441 24(201)| additional MS. evidence that had not been available up
442 24(201)| not been available up to that time. In modern times, the
443 24 | true, if there is anything that he willed to~do and did
444 24 | 96. Nor should we doubt that God doth well, even when
445 24 | judgment - and surely all that is just is good. ~Therefore,
446 24 | still it is a good thing that not only~good things exist
447 24 | For if it were not good that evil things exist, they
448 24 | for no other reason than that he can do whatsoever he
449 24 | concerning God, "Who willeth that all men should be saved."~203
450 24 | it would indeed appear that the fact that what God willeth
451 24 | indeed appear that the fact that what God willeth to~happen
452 24 | we would then have to say that they ~were saved against
453 24 | impeded the Most Powerful~so that he could not do what he
454 24 | he willed. And where is that omnipotence by which "whatsoever~
455 24 | is it not rather the case that, although Jerusalem did
456 24 | although Jerusalem did not will~that her children be gathered
457 24 | whom he would? It is not that "in heaven and on earth"
458 25 | impiously foolish as to say that God cannot turn the evil~
459 25 | anything good or bad, in order that the electing purpose of
460 25 | Yet it does seem unfair~that, without any merit derived

465 25 | what happened to the other that the fact that he had not,~

475 25 | some stupid men who think that in this part of the argument
476 25 | he understands, he sees ~that the whole human race was
477 25 | divine judgment so just that~not even if a single member
478 25 | justice. And he also sees that those who are saved had
479 25 | to be saved on such terms that it would~show - by contrast

482 26 | so wisely well-considered that when his angelic and human
483 26 | and human creation sinned (that is, did not ~do what he
484 26 | did what God did not will that they do, but as far as~God'
485 26 | all his acts of will" - that in a ~strange and ineffable
486 26 | and ineffable fashion even that which is done against his
487 26 | good will wills something that God doth not will, even~
488 26 | it is a good son's will that his father live, whereas
489 26 | whereas it is God's~good will that he should die. Or, again,
490 26 | Or, again, it can happen that a man of evil will can will
491 26 | will can will something~that God also willeth with a
492 26 | example, a bad son wills that his father die and~this
493 26 | who wills the same thing that~God willeth. There is a
494 26 | the ill will of the Jews that, by the good will of the
