Chapter

 1 I   |      whether it comes on us from God or from the devil, that
 2 I   |      happens without the will of God. But lest we be diverted
 3 I   |       evil and sin are both from God; the devil henceforth, and
 4 I   |          nothing happens without God's will; on the ground that
 5 I   |          is especially worthy of God, and, so to speak, requisite,
 6 I   |      judging properly belongs to God alone. This is that fan
 7 I   |        promotion of the glory of God, as He tries and casts away,
 8 I   |       what concerns the glory of God will surely come to pass
 9 I   |       will. And when is trust in God more strong, than when there
10 I   |          it does the servants of God, cannot be imputed to the
11 II  |    because injustice is not from God, but from the devil, and
12 II  |          the bishops of the true God, that all the followers
13 II  |         persecution, the will of God goes first, but that as
14 II  |        world have been chosen by God to confound the strong,
15 II  |       the servants of the living God unless the Lord grant leave,
16 II  |          received authority from God, could not have visited
17 II  |       that both things belong to God shaking of faith as well
18 II  |       certainly, when the Son of God has faith's protection absolutely
19 II  |      unless they had got it from God; so far are they from having
20 II  |          power over the sheep of God. I may say that the bristles
21 II  |        too, were then counted by God, not to speak of the hairs
22 II  |       those who do not belong to God, the nations being once
23 II  |          once for all counted by God as a drop of the bucket,
24 II  |       belong to the household of God he may not do ought as by
25 II  |        even from the servants of God; so far is he from having
26 III |     kindling; yet by the will of God. As to this I know not who
27 III |   anxieties. Do ye not know that God is Lord of all? And if it
28 III |        Lord of all? And if it is God's will, then you shall suffer
29 III |       indeed you believe in that God without whose will not even
30 IV  |        persecution proceeds from God, in no way will it be our
31 IV  |       duty to flee from what has God as its author; a twofold
32 IV  |           for what proceeds from God ought not on the one hand
33 IV  | everything must be good on which God has cast His eye. And with
34 IV  |       been made in Genesis, "And God saw because it is good;"
35 IV  |         because it was viewed by God. There are many events indeed
36 IV  |         happening by the will of God, and happening to somebody'
37 IV  |  therefore good because it is of God, as divine, as reasonable;
38 IV  |         if that which comes from God is good indeed in its natural
39 IV  |        for there is nothing from God which is not good, because
40 IV  |          has been looked upon by God can no longer indeed be
41 IV  |       proceeding as it does from God, from whose will escape
42 IV  |     should flee, either reproach God with doing what is evil,
43 IV  |         themselves stronger than God: so they think, who imagine
44 IV  |    possible to escape when it is God's pleasure that such events
45 V   |          or they wholly lie with God. If it is ours to confess
46 V   |          the matter is wholly in God's hand, why do we not leave
47 V   |    conduct, is it not, to honour God in the matter of flight
48 V   |        of constancy and trust in God, say, I do my part; I depart
49 V   |        do my part; I depart not; God, if He choose, will Himself
50 V   |        submission to the will of God, than to flee at our own
51 V   |        thus paid to the mercy of God the suffering which he had
52 V   |          it avails us nothing if God disapproves?~
53 VI  |       necessary that the word of God should have been first delivered
54 VII |           if persecution is from God, what are we to think of
55 IX  |         according to the mind of God: they forgot and omitted
56 IX  |       love"--to wit, the love of God. And yet who will flee from
57 X   | attention to the exhortations of God, are readier to apply to
58 X   |      transport himself away from God; but I find him, I do not
59 X   |         or even thus escape from God. How much better the conduct
60 X   |     though he fears the enemy of God, does not flee from, but
61 X   |       you will, having an awe of God all the greater, the more
62 XI  |      Thus ought every servant of God to feel and act, even one
63 XII |     blood, how unworthy is it of God and His ways of acting,
64 XII |        thought that the grace of God is to be had at a price!"
65 XII |     while he will be rich toward God. But it is the case that
66 XII | treasured up. If we cannot serve God and mammon, can we be redeemed
67 XII |       can we be redeemed both by God and by mammon? For who will
68 XII |          one. And so the will of God accords with this. Look
69 XII |          condition--certainly of God's ordaining, in whose hand
70 XII |         Or how shall I render to God the things which are God'
71 XII |         God the things which are God's,--certainly, therefore,
72 XII | Christian man? But what do I owe God, as I do Caesar the denarius,
73 XII |        shed for me? Now if I owe God, indeed, a human being and
74 XII |   undoubtedly guilty of cheating God if I do my best to withhold
75 XII |        are Caesar's, I refuse to God the things which are God'
76 XII |         God the things which are God's!~
77 XIII|       when the recipient honours God and returns me his blessing;
78 XIII|          sins which kept us from God, if they bestowed the blessing
