1512   4,  27 |                  what is right and true in itself may be preached by
1513   4,  27 |           doctrines, sitting as they do in the high places of ecclesiastical
1514   4,  27 |           scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses's seat." The seat

1516   4,  27 |                for their own evil lives in comparing the teaching with

1530   4,  28 |              they happen to be eloquent in speech. To speak eloquently,
1531   4,  28 |                it is expedient to teach in fit and proper words, words
1532   4,  28 |               proper words, words which in the subdued style are adequate,

1538   4,  29 |           speaking God's words, but are in fact bad, as they follow
1539   4,  29 |               say. For how can they say in words what they deny in
1540   4,  29 |                 in words what they deny in deeds? It is not for nothing
1541   4,  29 |                 that they know God, but in works they deny Him." In
1542   4,  29 |                in works they deny Him." In one sense, then, they do
1543   4,  29 |             they do say the things, and in another sense they do not

1546   4,  29 |               do not, yet they say. But in another place, upbraiding
