122  18     |        obscure saying about those who build on "the foundation,
123  18     |       must pass: that is, the man who builds with gold, silver,
124  18     |       foundation and also the man who builds with wood, hay, and
125  18     |          is, for example, the man who "thinks of the things of
126  19     |        crimes such as they~commit who "will not possess the Kingdom
127  19     |         they can say, "Our Father who art in heaven," who~have
128  19     |        Father who art in heaven," who~have already been reborn
129  19     |        done. For to forgive a man who seeks forgiveness is~indeed
130  19     |       Therefore, not only the man who gives food to~the hungry,
131  19     |           refuge to the~fugitive; who visits the sick and the
132  19     |        man give alms, but the man who forgives the trespasser

137  19     |       forgives from the heart one who has sinned against him and
138  19     |        has sinned against him and who~now asks his forgiveness.
139  19     |      actively hostile.~Now, a man who does not forgive from the
140  19     |        forgive from the heart one who asks forgiveness and is
141  19     |          the gospel has not noted who it was who said, "I am~the
142  19     |          has not noted who it was who said, "I am~the Truth"~160?
143  19     |         It is, of course, the One who, when he was teaching the
144  19     |        you your offenses."~161 He who is not awakened by such
145  20     |            75. Now, surely, those who live in gross wickedness

147  20     |          Foolish ones! Did not He who made~the outside make the
148  20     |       mean that to the Pharisees, who had not the faith of Christ,

150  20     |                            76. He who would give alms as a set
151  20     |           become~pleasing to God, who is justly displeased with
152  20     |       them not~deceive themselves who suppose that by giving alms -
153  20     |         so~with impunity. "But he who loves iniquity hates his
154  20     |         his own soul."~171 And he who hates his own~soul is not

156  21     |       concession, not as a rule." Who, then, denies that it is
157  21     |          says, "you appoint those who are~contemptible in the
158  21     |        not a wise man ~among you, who could judge between his

160  21     |         against~you,"~181 etc. Or who would think how great a
161  21     |      seasons - as those people do who will or will not begin projects
162  22     |                   83. But the man who does not believe that sins
163  22     |           forgiven in the Church, who despises so~great a bounty
164  23     |           to undeveloped fetuses, who would not more~readily think

168  23     |           will be~supplied by Him who can create out of nothing
169  23     | punishments will be laid on those~who have added no further sin
170  23     |       contracted. Among the rest, who have added ~further Sins

172  24     |          in the presence of those who were not about to believe. ~
173  24     |          apostle concerning God, "Who willeth that all men should
174  24     |        cannot be said of infants, who have not yet come to~the
175  25     |                  98. Furthermore, who would be so impiously foolish
176  25     |        will show pity.'"~209 Now, who but a fool would think God
177  25     |          is not a question of him who wills nor of him who runs
178  25     |          him who wills nor of him who runs but of~God's showing
179  25     | originally forged by~Adam. But He who said, "I will have mercy
180  25     |          is not a~question of him who wills nor of him who runs,
181  25     |          him who wills nor of him who runs, but of God's showing
182  25     |         salutary, to admonish all who~carefully look thereupon "

185  25     |          him who wills nor of him who runs, but of God's showing
186  25     |         this way, neither does he who is saved have a basis for
187  25     |         his own; nor does the man who is damned have a basis for
188  25     |           does he find fault? For who resists his will?"~215 -
189  25     |           apostle giving: "O man, who are you to reply to God?
190  25     |         There are some stupid men who think that in this part

193  25     |           he also sees that those who are saved had to be saved
194  26     |        but~willing - nor would he who is good allow the evil to

196  26     |         was called~"Satan" by him who had come in order to be

202  27     |        means that there is no man who~is enlightened except by
203  27     |         the word concerning God, "who will have all men to be
