  4   1     |          asked for in~your letter. If you have kept a copy of

  6   1     |     answers to all these questions if you really understood what
  7   1     |      certain heretics as well. For if we think carefully about
  8   1     |       difficult and detailed task. If one is to have this wisdom,
  9   2     |            put it rightly: ~"Here, if I could have hoped for [
 10   2(15) |            her. She is saying that if she could have foreseen
 11   2     |           is seen is not hope. For if a man sees a thing, why
 12   2     |          why does he hope for it? ~If, however, we hope for what
 13   3     |          Nor should we be dismayed if Christians are~ignorant
 14   4     |          an uncorrupted thing, and if it were indeed an incorruptible
 15   4     |     deprived; and in this process, if something of its being remains
 16   4     |            of corruption. But~even if the corruption is not arrested,
 17   4     |        cannot be further deprived. If, however, the corruption
 18   4     |     therefore good;~a greater good if it cannot be corrupted,
 19   4     |           corrupted, a lesser good if it can be. Yet only the
 20   4     |          nothing to be called evil if there is nothing good. A~

 22   4     |       since man is an entity? Now, if a man~is something good
 23   4     |           he is wicked. Therefore, if anyone says that simply
 24   4     |           Thus, every entity, even if it is a defective one,~in
 25   4     |           thus coexistent, so that if there were no good in what
 26   4     |         evil thing can come to be. If this is~the case, then,
 27   4     |            is unquestionably good. If it is an incorruptible~entity,
 28   4     |          is a great good. But even if it is a corruptible entity,
 29   5     |       distract, nor error mislead. If it~is a good thing to understand
 30   5     |            out of ignorance alone. If someone thinks he knows
 31   5     |       knows what he does not know,~if he approves as true what
 32   5     |          man~knows something else, if the former knowledge is
 33   5     |          from this: that sometimes if they are not to be entirely
 34   5     |         does not err in his~lying, if he himself knows what the
 35   6     |     conscious intention is to lie. If we do~not consider the things
 36   6     |           what I mean by~examples: If one man lies by saying that
 37   6     |            the prophetic word. But if he calls a man~good supposing
 38   6     |        chaste. In similar fashion, if one escapes an ~injury through
 39   6     |            hold what is certain as if it were uncertain,~or what
 40   6     |            or what is uncertain as if it were certain? It is one
 41   6     |           harm from something evil if the~wicked man whom we supposed
 42   7     |            they say it is an error if ~someone believes in what
 43   7     |            the truth, so that even if what~appears to be true
 44   7     |           lives by faith."~39 Now, if you take away~positive affirmation,~40
 45   7     |          that he himself is alive. If he is not~alive, he cannot "

 48   7     |  Nevertheless, such mistakes, even if they are~not sins, must
 49   7     |         actually~certain. For even if these mistakes do not affect
 50   7     |            or our physical~senses, if we were already enjoying
 51   7     |            by committing adultery, if someone appeared to be dying
 52   7     |      appeared to be dying for love if we would~not consent to
 53   7     |     consent to her desire and who, if she lived, might be purified
 54   7     |           adultery would be a sin. If, then, we hold chastity
 55   8     |          man with death as penalty if he should sin. He ~endowed
 56   8     |      permit any evil to exist. And if he had willed that there
 57   8     |        would it not have~been just if the nature that deserted
 58   8     |        would it not have been just if such a being had been abandoned
 59   8     |           God would have done this~if he were only just and not
 60   8     |          and not also merciful and if he had not willed to show
 61   9     |            Him whose voice saith, "If the Son shall make you free,
 62   9     |         glory in his good works as if they were acts~of his free
 63   9     |     rightly? He could do this only if, puffed up in ~proud vanity,
 64   9     |          again, lest anyone glory, if not in his own works, at
 65   9     | determination of his~free will, as if some merit had originated
 66   9     |         originated from him and as if the freedom to do good works
 67   9     |           God's showing mercy," as if it meant, "The will of man
 68   9     |          also the will of man. But if we say rightly that "it

 74  13     |            sin did sin for~us," as if Christ himself committed
 75  13     |     recognize a plurality of sins, if~that single sin is divided,
 76  13     |            of parents,~which, even if they cannot change our nature
 77  13     |        damnation, as they would be if they were bound to bear,
 78  14     |         originally inherited, even if it were the~only one involved,

 82  14     |       might abound, and had said, "If we have died to sin, how,

 85  15     |         created.~113 Consequently, if the Holy Spirit were creature
 86  15     |       temple of God," and~then, as if to prove his point, added, "
 87  15     |           these questions who can, if they can indeed~prove their
 88  16     |          no danger to religion. Or if, feigning~himself to be
 89  16     |           of the good angels, even if~then we believe him good,

 92  17     |            are punished here, and, if they are forgiven, will
 93  17     |    reserved to the end,~says: "For if we judge ourselves truly
 94  18     |       works through love."~143 But if faith~works evil and not
 95  18     |           He then goes on to say, "If a man says he has faith,
 96  18     |      enough to save him?"~145~Now, if the wicked man were to be
 97  18     |     account of his faith only, and if this is the~way the statement
 98  18     |          Kingdom of God."~147 Now, if those who persist in such
 99  18     |            in the heart - that is, if~nothing is preferred to
100  18     |            is preferred to him and if the man whose anguish "burns"
101  18     |           is saved, "by fire." But if, in time of~testing, he
102  18     |          work, of what sort it is. If any man's work ~abides which
103  18     |            shall receive a reward. If any man's work burns up,

107  19     |           those under his command,~if at the same time he forgives
108  19     |          this pledge are fulfilled if a man, not yet so perfect
109  19     |                         74. Again, if one~seeks forgiveness from
110  19     |            put in it, saying: "For if you forgive men their trespasses,~
111  19     |           you your trespasses. But if you will not forgive men,~
112  20     |      Christ, all things ~are clean if only they give alms, as
113  20     |           right to give them, even if they have not believed~in
114  20     |       clean to the Pharisees, even if~they gave alms, but were
115  20     |           could they be believers, if they were unwilling~to believe
116  20     |           you, Pharisees"~169 - as if to say, "I~am advising you
117  20     |       choose to continue in them - if they could do so~with impunity. "
118  20     |         way of judging. Therefore, if one really wished to give
119  21     |                  And a bit later: "If, ~therefore, you have cases
120  21     |         judged outside the Church, if the apostle had~not added
121  21     |          that saying of the Lord: "If anyone~would take your tunic
122  21     |             And in~another place: "If a man takes away your goods,
123  21     |           be deemed quite trifling if the Scriptures did not~show
124  21     |           in danger of hell-fire," if the Truth had not said it?
125  21     |         brotherly reconciliation: "If, therefore,~you are offering
126  21     |     seasons are lucky or unlucky - if we did not infer the magnitude
127  21     |          were openly~committed, as if sanctioned by law. So also
128  21     |          times so many evils, even if not like those ~[of old],
129  22     |          we should pray for pardon if we have sinned, as we do
130  23     |           could be "reborn." ~For, if we say that there is a resurrection
131  23     |          lest the mothers die also if the fetuses were left there
132  23     |            are~born and live, even if they quickly die, nor should
133  23     |           as there would have been if they had actually been born
134  23     |      statue made of fusible metal: if it were melted by heat or
135  23     |          their former obesity. But if this is in the Creator's
136  23     |           nothing as he wills.~But if in the bodies of those rising
137  23     |      Kingdom of God," and~then, as if to expound what was said,
138  23     |         body can be ~incorruptible if it can suffer - or corruptible
139  23     |            suffer - or corruptible if it cannot die. For there
140  23     |           would have ~befallen man if no one had sinned. Surely,
141  24     |         woe to you, Bethsaida. For if in Tyre~and Sidon had been
142  24     |        they could have been saved, if he willed it so.~201 Then,
143  24(201)|     possent salvi esse SI VELLENT (if _they_ willed it). This
144  24(201)|           in 1648, read SI VELLET (if _He_ willed it) and the
145  24     |        This obviously is not true, if there is anything that he
146  24     |           do, or, what were worse, if he did not do something
147  24     |        exist but evil as well. For if it were not good that evil
148  24     |       willing or not willing. For, if we could attribute to their
149  24     |           not."~204 This sounds as if God's will had~been overcome
150  24     |     overcome by human wills and as if the weakest, by not willing,
151  24     |            on earth, he has done," if he willed to gather the
152  25     |          and hate ~the other. Now, if the apostle had wished us
153  25     |           visage of Scripture and, if I may speak so, the lineaments
154  25     |           their common origin. But if any man hears this in such
155  25     |        resists his will?"~215 - as if to make it seem that man
156  25     |         important explanation.~For if one does not understand
157  25     |           to talk back to God? And if one does~understand, he
158  25     |         then for talking back. For if he understands, he sees ~
159  25     |     judgment so just that~not even if a single member of the race
160  27     |          sought in prayer, because if he willeth,~then what he
161  27     |          said, would have repented if he had wrought them - but
162  28     |         had even the will to sin - if he had foreknown that man ~
163  28     |         evil - not without reward, if he willed the good; not
164  28     |            not without punishment, if ~he willed the evil. But
165  28     |         capable of not dying, even if the higher order which is~
166  28     |         obtained it through merit, if it had~not sinned. Not even
167  28     |   sufficient for maintaining life, if the aids of food and other
168  28     |     justice by an act of~will; yet if the life of justice was
169  28     |        himself, Christ Jesus,"~235 if he were not also God. For
170  28     |          pride spring up anew. And if there are other advantages
171  28     |          can see or testify - even if they~cannot be described -
172  29     |            for the very bad - even if they are of no help to the

177  29     |          punishment so great that, if it be eternal, no torments~
178  30     |               And_ deliver~us," as if to indicate that there is
179  31     |        love believes in vain, even if what he believes is true;
180  31     |             he hopes in vain,~even if what he hopes for is generally
181  31     |           something without which, if he does not ~love it, he
182  31     |           example of this would be if a man hopes for~life eternal -
183  31     |          to his aid - so~that even if he wishes to live according

185  31     |       fulfilling His~commands, and if a man begins to be led by
186  31     |   whichever of these four "ages" - if one can call them that -
187  31     |        harm will come to him ~even if he then immediately depart
