 8   1,      1  |            neighbor, if she did not first profit herself, that is,
 9   1,      1  |             and Eternal Father. The first was for herself; the second
10   1,      2  |            grew much more, when the First Truth showed her the neediness
11   1,      6  |         evil. To whom does he evil? First of all to himself, and then
12   2,      3  |       charity ought to be concerned first with self, otherwise it
13   2,      3  |          which virtues have been at first conceived by the virtue
14   2,      5  |    corrupted through the sin of the first man Adam. Wherefore, all
15   2,     10  |          replied to her, and said: "First, as I have shown you that
16   2,     10  |   signifying her affection, are the first step, for the feet carry
17   2,     10  |         waging with her sin. On the first step, then, lifting her
18   2,     10  |             that, climbing past the first and the second, you may
19   2,     13  |             you by this Bridge. For first, He practiced this doctrine
20   2,     13  |            words; for He practiced, first Himself, what He afterwards
21   2,     13  |                          Wherefore, first I gave you the Bridge of
22   2,     15  |         from which cause, they have first become weak, and this was
23   2,     16  |        diverse as are the sins; and first, of the sin of sensuality. ~
24   2,     17  |          made her, living in her at first by grace, and hiding Myself
25   2,     21  |      herself more on account of her first condemnation than on account
26   2,     22  |             the other torments. The first is, that they see themselves
27   2,     22  |                                This first pain revives in them, then,
28   2,     22  |          amend themselves after the first reproof that they had of
29   2,     33  |           fear, having ascended the first step of the affection, for
30   2,     34  |             others, practicing this first state, arriving at the second
31   2,     36  | imperfection, by which is meant the first step of the holy Bridge,
32   2,     36  |            greatest perfection. The first are those who are moved
33   2,     36  |             consider this to be the first step and the first gathering
34   2,     36  |           be the first step and the first gathering together of the
35   2,     36  |            imperfectly climb to the first Step of the Bridge of Christ
36   2,     37  |        neighbor. Thus, those in the first state come to naught through
37   2,     37  |           speaking, every person is first called in this way, but
38   2,     37  |      because the soul herself is at first imperfect, from which imperfection
39   2,     38  |         special manifestations. The first manifestation of My virtue,
40   2,     38  |             manifested in two ways; first, in general, to ordinary
41   2,     38  |         which is developed from the first, is peculiar to those who
42   2,     39  |        three reasons in particular. First, because He wished to show
43   2,     40  |            after having mounted the first step of the Bridge, should
44   2,     40  |            has become a friend. And first of how a man arrives at
45   3,      2  |              just as the soul is at first imperfect and afterwards
46   3,      5  |            as I told you, ascended, first climbing to the Feet, with
47   3,      5  |        baptism of love in two ways, first in those who are baptized
48   3,     11  |            Wherefore that, which at first appeared to be dark, now
49   3,     12  |         from the Sweet, Supreme and First Truth, as to the manner
50   3,     13  |           tears caused by fear; but first rather of the tears of wicked
51   3,     14  |           love. And these form that first class, who have the tears
52   3,     16  |         received into the soul. But first will I speak to you of that
53   3,     16  |         will I speak to you of that first class of men whom I mentioned
54   3,     16  |          which is of two kinds. The first with regard to Me, by which
55   3,     16  |       self-love and of pride, which first made both branches and flowers
56   3,     17  |        these points also to me. The first is -- when a person desirous
57   3,     18  |             serve God in truth; and first of the light of reason in
58   3,     18  |             Me, the True Light. The first is a general light dwelling
59   3,     18  |          will also add a third. The first lightens you all to know
60   3,     18  |         know thoroughly, unless you first recognize your own fragility,
61   3,     24  |            the Eternal God: "I will first, dearest daughter, speak
62   3,     25  |            life; and not so much at first through the eye of your
63   3,     28  |             love. And, because they first had done justice to themselves,
64   3,     28  |             upon it, without having first burnt the wound. So, were
65   3,     30  |           and that of a sinner, and first of the death of the just
66   3,     31  |          the truth of that which at first he knew not, and his error
67   3,     32  |            towards us, for You must first reply to us before we can
68   4,      1  |          treatise of obedience, and first of where obedience may be
69   4,      1  |     destroys obedience? Look at the first man and you will see the
70   4,      1  |            the straight way, having first observed them Himself. He
71   4,      2  |          foolish men who follow the first man, their first father,
72   4,      2  |         follow the first man, their first father, following his example,
73   4,      4  |             is not divided from the first, but is more perfect, for,
74   4,      5  |            which brought her to the first, for by the light of the
75   4,      5  |         lofty perfection, being the first to give his order for spouse,
76   4,      6  |       obedient man wishes to be the first to enter choir and the last
77   4,      7  |            by recommencing from the first. So charity is the most
78   4,      8  |            enter the choir, and the first to leave it; with his lips
79   4,      9  |             received as much as the first: My Truth showing you in
80   4,      9  |         also obeys the word, having first spiritually obeyed in affection
81   4,     10  |         divine providence, from the first beginning of the world until
82   4,     10  |         have life, and as from that first old man you contracted the
83   4,     10  |             of you now more than at first, for now I have manifested
84   4,     11  |            of introspection. Having first given the grace to ask the
