774 XII | that glorious One, nay, slights and defiles His goods, obtained
775 X | in you, is treated as of small account when you give yourself

811 V | very heart of the people? Strange conduct, is it not, to honour
812 II | your disposal; but do not stretch out your hand against himself."
813 II | he would not even have stretched it out, unless afterwards,

822 VI | Jerusalem, because of the sufferings in store for him which Agabus

824 VII | nevertheless, in His kindness, suggested also the haven of flight

831 II | injustice of the devil, supplied that persecution may be
832 II | warrant for persecution, but supplies an agency; that in reality,
833 IX | the Churches. Paul bids us support the weak, but most certainly

840 XIII| Christians too are included as taxpayers in the lists of free soldiers
841 XIII| let the previous parable teach you. The saying was addressed
842 VI | us which ceased with our teachers, even although it had not
843 II | to humble, as the apostle tells us, that there was given
844 I | and love, in holiness and temperance. There is no room, in fact,
845 VI | the command to flee was temporary, as were those also relating
846 II | likewise an opportunity to tempt them, having it only by
847 II | handed over to him to be tempted. Nor would the devil's legion
848 XIII| persecutor, or one seeking to terrify you by his threats. For
849 VI | the Lord, bear this solemn testimony before Israel, which they
850 XII | the kingdom of heaven is theirs who have the soul only treasured

857 XI | Jeremiah declaim with kindred threatenings, for their not only wickedly

862 | throughout
863 II | spittle of the mouth, and so thrown open to the devil as, in
864 V | fugitive? The matter stands thus--we have either both things

867 IX | out fear; because fear has torment"--the fire of the lake,
868 XI | and leaves the sheep to be torn in pieces." Why, a shepherd
869 II | for what reasons-- he may touch them. For either, with a
870 | toward
871 XII | being numbered with the transgressors, was delivered up to death,

877 XII | is he that hangeth on a tree,--Him who was led as a sheep

879 V | I flee, back before the tribunal. First answer me this: Are
880 XII | after this fashion of a tributary sect--in fact, such an imposition
881 III | He says, "as silver is tried," for when the flame of
882 VIII| the substances in Him were truly human; lest, as certain
883 X | as he hears persecution's trumpet, runs off from the day of
884 XI | shepherd like this will be tuned off from the farm; the wages
885 XII | they say, the folds of the tunic--as if he were stolen goods
