131 10 | man in this age of ours. He is God because he is the
132 10 | ours. He is God because he is the Word of God, for "
133 10 | the Word was God."~73 ~Yet he is man also, since in the
134 10 | Accordingly, in so far as he is God, he and the Father

136 10 | are one. Yet in so far as he is man, the~Father is greater
137 10 | the~Father is greater than he. Since he was God's only
138 10 | is greater than he. Since he was God's only Son - not
139 10 | nature - to the~end that he might indeed be the fullness
140 10 | the fullness of all grace, he was also made Son of Man -
141 10 | made Son of Man - and yet he~was in the one nature as
142 10 | being in the form of God, he ~judged it not a violation
143 10 | not a violation to be what he was by nature, the equal
144 10 | nature, the equal of God. Yet he emptied himself,~taking
145 10 | the form of God.~75 Thus he was made less and~remained
146 10 | unity as we said before. But he is one of these because
147 10 | is one of these because he is~the Word; the other,
148 10 | Word; the other, because he was a man. As the Word,
149 10 | was a man. As the Word, he is the equal of the Father;
150 10 | of the Father; as a man,~he is less. He is the one Son
151 10 | Father; as a man,~he is less. He is the one Son of God, and
152 11 | one Person with God? Was he a man before the union,
153 11 | not! For, from the moment he~began to be a man, that
154 11 | the future birth: "Hail," he said, "full of grace." And
155 11 | flesh and dwelt among us," he~added, "and we beheld his
156 11 | grace and ~truth."~77 When he said, "The Word was made
157 11 | means, "Full of grace." When he also~said, "The glory of

159 11 | the manner by which what he announced would come~to

164 12 | in so far as he is man, he himself was made, even as~
165 12 | even as~the apostle says: "He was made of the seed of
166 12 | of the Holy Spirit," when he is in no~wise the Son of
167 12 | Mary," the sense in which he~is not the Son of the Holy
168 12 | of the Virgin Mary, when he was born both of~him and
169 12 | doubt as to the fact that he was not born~from him as
170 12 | born~from him as Father as he was born of her as mother.~
171 12 | is born of him whose son he is called ~- this is the
172 12 | the Holy Spirit, because he himself is so perfectly
173 12 | is so perfectly God that he is also called God's Gift.
174 13 | 41. Since he was begotten and conceived
175 13 | trace of original sin - he was, by the grace of God (
176 13 | by nature. And although he himself committed no sin,
177 13 | sinful flesh"~81 in which he came, he was himself called
178 13 | flesh"~81 in which he came, he was himself called sin and
179 13 | often called sins.~82 Yet he of whom~those sacrifices
180 13 | to be reconciled to God," he straightway added, "Him,
181 13 | Him, who~knew no sin, he made to be sin for us that
182 13 | righteousness of God in ~him."~83 He does not say, as we read
183 13 | some defective copies, "He who knew no sin did sin
184 13 | sin for our sake. Rather, he says, "He [Christ] who knew
185 13 | sake. Rather, he says, "He [Christ] who knew no~sin,
186 13 | Christ] who knew no~sin, he God made to be sin for us."
187 13 | which we may be reconciled.~He himself is therefore sin
188 13 | ourselves but in him. Just as he was sin - not his own but
189 13 | in himself but in us -~so he showed forth through the
190 13 | of sinful flesh, in which he was crucified, that since
191 13 | since sin~was not in him he could then, so to say, die
192 13 | likeness~of sin." And since he had never lived in the old
193 13 | the old manner of sinning, he might, in his resurrection,~
194 13 | die thereby to sin - as he himself is said to have
195 13 | have died to sin because he~died in the flesh, that
196 13 | baptismal font, just as he rose again from the sepulcher.
197 13 | therefore to the Lord that he may take from us the serpent."~85
198 13 | life"~86; it does not say, "He is dead." And in Exodus: "
199 13 | acknowledge God; and murder, since he cast himself down to death;
200 13 | snatched; and avarice, since he hungered for more than should
201 13 | foretold by~Ezekiel when he said that the sons should
202 13 | must be born again, so that he may thereby be absolved
203 13 | in her womb."~91 Nor did he say~"in iniquity" or "in
204 13 | iniquity" or "in sin," as he might have quite correctly;
205 13 | quite correctly; rather, he preferred to say "iniquities"~
206 13 | so that the later~in time he is born, the worse estate
207 13 | is born, the worse estate he is born in; or whether,
208 13 | generations,~because in his mercy he will not continue his wrath
209 14 | particular day on which he was~baptized, but to that "
210 14 | eternal "today." Therefore, he~chose to be baptized in
211 14 | overcome and conquered: for, as he had most unjustly slain
212 14 | way~deserving of death, he also did most justly lose
213 14 | most justly lose those whom he had justly held in bondage
214 14 | for their sins. Wherefore, He took upon himself both baptism
215 14 | also all the others which he found added to it. Hence, ~
216 14 | offenses, both the sin which he originally inherited in
217 14 | multitude of sins which he has committed on his own.~
218 14 | 51. However, when he [the apostle] says, shortly
219 14 | life of ~justification,"~97 he indicates sufficiently that
220 14 | grace through the Other, as~he deemed sufficient for that
221 14 | authentic justification.~He asks: "What, then, shall
222 14 | grace may abound?"~98 -~for he had previously said, "But
223 14 | abound."~99 And ~therefore he himself raised the question
224 14 | then continue in sin. But he answers, "God forbid!" and
225 14 | should not serve~sin. For he that is dead is freed from
226 14 | over him. For the death he died, he died to sin, once
227 14 | For the death he died, he died to sin, once for all;
228 14 | once for all; but the life he ~lives, he lives unto God.
229 14 | but the life he ~lives, he lives unto God. So also,
230 14 | Christ Jesus."~102 Now, he had set out to prove that
231 14 | that we were dead to sin, he had added, "Know you ~not,
232 14 | baptized into his death?" Thus he~concludes the passage as
233 14 | concludes the passage as he began it. Indeed, he introduced
234 14 | as he began it. Indeed, he introduced the death of
235 14 | order to ~say that even he died to sin. To what sin,
236 14 | that of the flesh in which he existed, not as sinner,~
237 14 | infants as well are~baptized - he says, "So also you should
238 14 | actions, since we confess that he will~come again from heaven
239 14 | already done, but to what he will do~at the close of
240 14 | interpret the affirmation that he "shall judge the living
241 14 | living in the flesh~when he comes; and we may understand
242 14 | and, as if to explain what he had~said, "and defend my
243 15 | creature and not~Creator, he would obviously be a rational
244 15 | creation. But in this case he would not be set in the

250 15 | Christ?"~115 How, then, is he not God who has a temple?
251 15 | has a temple? Or how can he be~less than Christ whose
252 15 | his temple? It is not that he has one temple and God~another

254 15 | earth "that in all things he may be~pre-eminent"~116 - "

256 15 | which of the angels said he at any time, 'Sit at my~
257 15 | me, said to me . . ."~122 He does not say, "Spoke ~_to_
258 16 | lest by this deception he should seduce us into harmful
259 16 | harmful acts. For, when he ~deceives the corporeal
260 16 | feigning~himself to be good, he does or says things that

263 18 | adequately describes when he says, "For in Christ Jesus
264 18 | is dead in~itself."~144 He then goes on to say, "If
265 18 | on to say, "If a man says he has faith, yet has not works,
266 18 | should be understood - "But he himself shall be saved,

270 18 | goods rather than to Christ, he~does not have him as foundation -
271 18 | as foundation - because he has put "things" in the
272 18 | and stubble. For, when he had spoken~of this, he added: "
273 18 | when he had spoken~of this, he added: "The fire shall try
274 18 | man's work ~abides which he has built thereupon, he

280 18 | his wife"~151; that is,~he builds upon the same foundation
281 18 | is not~burned up, since he has not loved those things
282 18 | in this second situation, he prefers to suffer the loss
283 18 | such things - even~though he may grieve over his loss - "

286 18 | with~grief, for the things he has loved and lost, but
287 18 | consume him, secured as~he is by the stability and
288 18 | of fruitfulness in alms, he will impute merit to those
289 18 | those on his left - when he shall say to the former, ~"
290 19 | God for our past sins. But he is not somehow to be bought
291 19 | crimes with impunity. For, "he has given no man a license
292 19 | although, in his mercy, he does blot out sins already
293 19 | also gives alms as well. He is also a~giver of alms
294 19 | command,~if at the same time he forgives from the heart
295 19 | the heart the sin by which he has been wronged or offended,~
296 19 | gives alms, not only in that he forgives and ~prays, but
297 19 | prays, but also in that he rebukes and administers
298 19 | punishment, since in this he shows~mercy.~Now, many benefits
299 19 | who does you ~harm when he can. Thus one heeds God'
300 19 | not yet so perfect that he~already loves his enemies,
301 19 | asks his forgiveness. For he surely seeks forgiveness
302 19 | surely seeks forgiveness when he asks for it when he prays,~
303 19 | when he asks for it when he prays,~saying, "As we forgive
304 19 | from a man against whom he sinned - moved by his sin
305 19 | by his sin to seek it - he should~no longer be regarded
306 19 | love him as it was~when he was actively hostile.~Now,
307 19 | course, the One who, when he was teaching the prayer,
308 19 | emphasized this sentence which he put in it, saying: "For
309 19 | you your offenses."~161 He who is not awakened by such
310 20 | notice to whom it was that he said it. For this is the
311 20 | of it in the Gospel: "As he was~speaking, a certain
312 20 | him to dine with him. And he went in and reclined at
313 20 | wonder and ask himself why He had not washed himself before~
314 20 | wickedness. Foolish ones! Did not He who made~the outside make
315 20 | 76. He who would give alms as a
316 20 | to love God with the love he himself giveth us, we then
317 20 | extortion and wickedness, he then admonished them also
318 20 | the inner man: "However," he~said, "give what remains
319 20 | ignored, and to show them that he was not~ignorant of their
320 20 | their kind of almsgiving, he adds, "But woe to you, Pharisees"~169 -
321 20 | But, lest it appear that he was rejecting the kind of
322 20 | give of the earth's bounty, he~adds, "These things you
323 20 | do so~with impunity. "But he who loves iniquity hates
324 20 | hates his own soul."~171 And he who hates his own~soul is
325 20 | it after the world's way he hates it according to~God'
326 20 | might become clean to him, he would hate his soul after

329 21 | such case is seen where he says, "Dare any of you,
330 21 | concerning worldly things," he says, "you appoint those
331 21 | this point by saying that he had a just ~cause and was
332 21 | suffering injustice which he wished removed by judicial
333 21 | them not back."~179 Thus, he forbids his~own to go to
334 21 | is "a fault." Still, when he allows such suits to be
335 21 | it? Still, for the hurt he~immediately supplied a medicine,

337 21 | vineyard: "I looked that he should perform justice,
338 21 | should perform justice, yet he ~did iniquity; not justice

340 22 | their good opinion more than he regards judgment, which
341 22 | but also in order that he ~may be enabled to do so,
342 23 | would dare to deny - though he would not dare to affirm
343 23 | find the basis on which he~would not have a share in
344 23 | create out of nothing as he wills.~But if in the bodies

359 24(202)| texts of Scripture. Here he is doubtless quoting from
360 24 | God doth well, even when he alloweth whatever happens
361 24 | happens ill to~happen. For he alloweth it only through
362 24 | not~to allow to exist what he does not will, as it is
363 24 | it is for him to do what he does will.~Unless we believe
364 24 | the Father Almighty. For he is called Almighty~for no

366 24 | that he can do whatsoever he willeth and because the
367 24 | clearer when, in the Gospel, he~reproveth the unrighteous

381 25 | toward the good? But,~when he acteth, he acteth through
382 25 | good? But,~when he acteth, he acteth through mercy; when
383 25 | acteth through mercy; when he doth not act, it is through

385 25 | he~hath mercy on whom he willeth; and whom he willeth,
386 25 | whom he willeth; and whom he willeth, he hardeneth."~205~

388 25 | when the apostle said this, he was commending grace, of
389 25 | commending grace, of which he had just spoken in~connection
390 25 | younger.' "~206 Accordingly, he refers to another prophetic
391 25 | Then, realizing how what he said could disturb those~
392 25 | to this depth of grace, he adds: "What therefore shall~
393 25 | God, of course, foreknew - he would never have ~said "
394 25 | of _future_ works." Thus he would have solved the~difficulty;
395 25 | difficulty; or, rather, he would have left no difficulty

397 25 | be unfairness in God"~- he proceeds immediately to

399 25 | think God unfair either when he imposes penal~judgment on
400 25 | on the deserving or when he shows mercy to the undeserving?

402 25 | other that the fact that he had not,~with equal merit,
403 25 | merits - but, instead, that he should glory in the abundance
404 25 | carefully look thereupon "that he who glories, should glory
405 25 | showing mercy," next in order he~intends to speak also of
406 25 | is no ~injustice. Thus, he immediately added, "For
407 25 | Then, having said this, he draws a conclusion that
408 25 | toward judgment: "Therefore," he says, "he hath mercy on

410 25 | he hath mercy on whom he willeth,~and whom he willeth
411 25 | whom he willeth,~and whom he willeth he hardeneth." He
412 25 | willeth,~and whom he willeth he hardeneth." He showeth mercy
413 25 | he willeth he hardeneth." He showeth mercy out of his
414 25 | out of his great goodness; he hardeneth~out of no unfairness
415 25 | In this way, neither does he who is saved have a basis
416 25 | of anything~except what he has fully merited. For grace
417 25 | as to say: "Why then~does he find fault? For who resists
418 25 | God "hath mercy on whom he willeth and whom he~willeth
419 25 | whom he willeth and whom he~willeth he hardeneth" -
420 25 | willeth and whom he~willeth he hardeneth" - God forbid
421 25 | his ~gainsayer. But what he said - "O man, who are you?" -
422 25 | understand these matters, who is he to talk back to God? And
423 25 | if one does~understand, he finds no better ground even
424 25 | for talking back. For if he understands, he sees ~that
425 25 | For if he understands, he sees ~that the whole human
426 25 | against God's ~justice. And he also sees that those who
427 25 | should be stopped, so that "he that glories may glory in

429 26 | willed, but what it willed) he could still accomplish what
430 26 | could still accomplish what he himself had willed and~this
431 26 | done. As the Supreme Good, he made good use of evil deeds,
432 26 | damnation of those whom~he had justly predestined to
433 26 | salvation of those whom he had mercifully ~predestined
434 26 | but~willing - nor would he who is good allow the evil
435 26 | unless in his omnipotence he could~bring good even out

437 26 | piety of the one, though he wills not what God willeth,
438 26 | would have nullified it he was called~"Satan" by him
439 26 | to Jerusalem, lest there he~should suffer the things
440 26 | yet God had willed~that he should suffer these things
441 26 | this good purpose of his he achieved, not through the
442 26 | his who did not will~what he willed than were those who
443 26 | his purpose - for while he and the latter did the very
444 26 | did the very same thing, he worked~through them with

446 26 | he hath mercy on whom ~he willeth," or in justice "
447 26 | willeth," or in justice "whom he willeth, he hardeneth,"
448 26 | justice "whom he willeth, he hardeneth," the omnipotent
449 26 | doth~anything except what he doth will, and doth everything
450 26 | and doth everything that he willeth.~~
451 27 | is no man whose salvation he doth not will, but that
452 27 | that no one is~saved unless He willeth it. Moreover, his
453 27 | sought in prayer, because if he willeth,~then what he willeth
454 27 | if he willeth,~then what he willeth must necessarily
455 27 | apostle~was speaking when he made that statement. Thus,
456 27 | is no one whose salvation he doth not will - he who was
457 27 | salvation he doth not will - he who was unwilling to work
458 27 | miracles~among those who, he said, would have repented
459 27 | would have repented if he had wrought them - but by "
460 27 | Son our ~Lord? Therefore, he doth save them since the
461 27 | will in vain, whatsoever he~willeth.~Now, the apostle
462 27 | the prayers of the lowly he would deign to grant~salvation
463 27 | speech in the Gospel, where he saith to the Pharisees, "
464 27 | done which was not done. "He hath done all things ~in
465 27 | heaven and earth, whatsoever he willed,"~228 as Truth sings
466 27 | sings of him, and surely he hath not~willed to do anything
467 27 | willed to do anything that he hath not done. There must
468 28 | state of~salvation in which he was created and would have
469 28 | intervention of death - where he not only would have~been
470 28 | even the will to sin - if he had foreknown that man ~
471 28 | continue without sin, as he had been created to do.
472 28 | created to do. But since~he did foreknow that man would
473 28 | free will - that is, that he would sin - God ~prearranged
474 28 | his own purpose so that he could do good to man, even
475 28 | the first place, so that he could will~both good and
476 28 | not without reward, if he willed the good; not without
477 28 | without punishment, if ~he willed the evil. But in
478 28 | But in the future life he will not have the power
479 28 | will be much freer, because he will then have no~power
480 28 | to be ~passed by, wherein he willed to show how good
481 28(229)| the power to sin) - which he continues to exercise. In
482 28 | example, the power to die when he wills it is in a man's own
483 28 | not have sufficed, unless~He who made him had given him
484 28 | For the wages of sin," he says, "is death; but the
485 28 | debit, not as a gift. Hence, he said "the wages of sin is
486 28 | and in such a fashion that he could either continue in
487 28 | himself, Christ Jesus,"~235 if he were not also God. For when
488 28 | might be shown man how far he had departed from God, when~
489 28 | when~by the incarnate God he is recalled to God; that
490 28 | vanquished by that very nature he~was rejoicing over having
491 29 | any merit with God after he is dead that he has~neglected
492 29 | God after he is dead that he has~neglected to obtain
493 29 | statement of the apostle when he said, "For all of us shall
494 29 | receive according to what he has done in the body, whether~
495 29 | mercy, nor in his anger will he shut up~his mercy." This
496 29 | wrath resting on them - he does not "shut up his mercy."
497 29 | of God's blessings which he has hidden for those who
498 30 | hope in~man."~242 Thus, he who rests his hope in himself
499 30 | understood by omitting it. He then adds three other~petitions,
500 30 | anyone~would realize that he is being delivered from
