 47 XXI   |         mean Christ, that Son of God. And so the supreme Head

 54 XXI   |      that He proceeds forth from God, and in that procession

 69 XXI   |         says he worships another god than he really does, he
 70 XXI   |         he ceases to worship the god he has repudiated. We say,

 80 XXIII | Christians wail--as the Power of God, and the Spirit of God,
 81 XXIII |        of God, and the Spirit of God, as the Word, the Reason,
 82 XXIII |       the Wisdom, and the Son of God? Mock as you like, but get
 83 XXIII |       memory the woes with which God threatens them at the hands
 84 XXIII |          them. Fearing Christ in God, and God in Christ, they
 85 XXIII |       Fearing Christ in God, and God in Christ, they become subject
 86 XXIII |       subject to the servants of God and Christ. So at our touch
 87 XXIV  |        tell you that there is no God but one, the God whom we
 88 XXIV  |     there is no God but one, the God whom we adore, is quite
 89 XXIV  |        true religion of the true God, but by going the further
 90 XXIV  |          that the appellation of God as of Emperor belongs only
 91 XXIV  |     himself! Let one man worship God, another Jupiter; let one
 92 XXIV  |   consecrate his own life to his God, and another that of a goat.
 93 XXIV  |        death any One who kills a god of their sort. Every province
 94 XXIV  |          and every city, has its god. Syria has Astarte, Arabia
 95 XXIV  |          is well that there is a God of all, whose we all are,
 96 XXIV  |          is given to worship any god but the true God, as though
