 10      I, 4     |         their own departments; and may even adduce, as an example,
 11      I, 4     |           me?" Human circumstances may perhaps be compared with
 12      I, 4     |         with divine ones, but they may not be with God. God is
 13      I, 6     |           indeed that human beings may not be very different under
 14      I, 15    |          which some third god also may be able with a world of
 15      I, 15    |          equally God. And thus you may, if you please, reckon up
 16      I, 17    |           own evidence, because it may be quite possible both that
 17      I, 17    |            the unknown god, that I may strike off into some of

 23      I, 23    |        stranger, in order that you may love your neighbour the

 35     II, 3     |            prescriptively settled, may suggest to us some sense
 36     II, 3     |           us some sense whereby we may understand how the subsequent
 37     II, 3     |    disciples of Marcion, moreover, may possibly be able, while
 38     II, 6     |         not to God's, yet that you may not object, even now, that
 39     II, 6     |     rightly so constituted, that I may with the greater confidence

 57     II, 27    |         ones man, in order that He may give to man as much as He
 58    III, 2     |         not also foretold, that it may be proved to have been ordered

 63    III, 7     |            His second advent. If I may offer, moreover, an interpretation
 64    III, 11    |           down to infamy, that you may affirm them to be unworthy
 65    III, 14    |        sharp, two-edged one." This may be understood to be the
 66    III, 14    |      shield of faith, wherewith we may be able to quench all the
 67    III, 14    |            Christ in the psalm too may have been girded with the
 68    III, 15    |            as the Son of both Gods may be fitly called Christ,

 75    III, 19    |          for the time to come, you may understand that He has given
 76    III, 23    |          that the Creator's Christ may find it, and then you may

 82     IV, 1     |            our side, that so there may be all the redder shame
 83     IV, 1     |          your antitheses, when you may recognise them all in His

 85     IV, 2     |           preaching, how much more may not I require for Luke's
 86     IV, 5     |          that which Mark published may be affirmed to be Peter'
 87     IV, 5     |            ascribe to Paul. And it may well seem that the works
 88     IV, 5     |            their own, whereby they may seem to be in agreement
 89     IV, 6     |           centres in this, that he may establish a diversity between
 90     IV, 6     |             so that his own Christ may be separate from the Creator,
 91     IV, 6     |      course, to whatever condition may have become requisite on
 92     IV, 7     |       order, forsooth, that Christ may not appear to be an Israelite.
 93     IV, 9     |     Accordingly He added: "that it may be for a testimony unto
 94     IV, 10    |            Such a nativity (if one may call it so) the mythic stories
 95     IV, 10    |        appear whereby the identity may be occasioned. And therefore,
 96     IV, 10    |        body derived from body. You may, I assure you, more easily
 97     IV, 11    |         Christ; and so the heretic may blush at frustrating, to
 98     IV, 11    |          to them, in order that he may afterwards be able to separate
 99     IV, 12    |          His Sabbath. Now, that we may decide these several points
100     IV, 12    |           of the controversy (if I may call in the aid of the truth
101     IV, 12    |         because what is God's work may be done by human agency
102     IV, 13    |            Father's will; that you may know how Gentiles then flocked
103     IV, 14    |          of His doctrine to what I may call His official proclamation
104     IV, 14    |            the orphan? So that you may believe this private bounty
105     IV, 14    |          for such matter as chance may present to me. In the psalm
106     IV, 14    |         exalteth the poor; that He may set him with the princes
107     IV, 14    |            and the beggar, that He may set him amongst the princes

109     IV, 15    |          the poor, in order that I may prove Christ to be on the
110     IV, 16    |           But in order that no man may be indigent, you have in
111     IV, 17    |           his own eye, and then he may convict the Christian, should
112     IV, 18    |      reason of his offence, that I may the more easily explode
113     IV, 19    |            not allow this sense, I may as well ask, by way of a
114     IV, 19    |            brothers born for them? May a man rather not have fathers
115     IV, 20    |         war as this that the Psalm may evidently have spoken: "
116     IV, 20    |       relief of time. And thus she may: evidently be regarded as
117     IV, 21    |        worthy of his hire? Marcion may expunge such precepts, but
118     IV, 21    |          God saves it, so that you may here again recognize the
119     IV, 22    |        erroneous opinion, then you may be sure that up to that
120     IV, 22    |     manifest Thyself to me, that I may see Thee distinctly," the
121     IV, 23    |      Samaritans. The heretic, too, may discover that this gentleness
122     IV, 24    |       noxious animals. Lastly, you may discover the suitable times
123     IV, 25    |         unto me of my Father." you may believe Him, if He is the
124     IV, 25    |           all, as a sample, that I may believe; lest I should have
125     IV, 25    |      belief in the rival god which may be suitable for the Creator,
126     IV, 26    |       already known. In short, you may discover in the import of
127     IV, 26    |        from whom must I ask that I may receive? Of whom seek, that
128     IV, 26    |      receive? Of whom seek, that I may find? To whom knock, that
129     IV, 26    |             To whom knock, that it may be opened to me? Who has
130     IV, 26    |          is kept in secret that it may come to light. So, again,
131     IV, 27    |        upon a candlestick, that it may give light to all. He forbids
132     IV, 28    |           spirit of that rival god may be blasphemed with impunity,
133     IV, 29    | indulgences of the Creator, that I may here complete the answer
134     IV, 29    |        title "Son of man," that he may give us some presage of
135     IV, 31    |            Then have I none whom I may call to me; have I no place
136     IV, 31    |           have I no place whence I may bring them?" "Since my people
137     IV, 33    |            interpreter by you, you may learn again from Himself
138     IV, 33    |           the Creator; so that you may get a better proof for the
139     IV, 33    |            More easily, therefore, may heaven and earth pass away
140     IV, 34    |       dismissed, that another wife may be obtained. For he who
141     IV, 34    |          the heavenly promise, why may it not be possible, without
142     IV, 35    |    perfection; for surely the Lord may by Himself, or by His Son,
143     IV, 35    |          of course pass as it best may, if anybody supposes that
144     IV, 35    |          bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?' nor
145     IV, 35    |          bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it ?' But
146     IV, 36    |         supplementary precepts. He may likewise be discovered in
147     IV, 36    |          David, in order that they may be supposed to have had
148     IV, 36    |           David! However, that you may not slander His patience,
149     IV, 37    |            here is He, (whoever He may be,) to whom belongs the
150     IV, 39    |           roll," etc. And that you may not suppose that these predictions
151     IV, 39    |         that endure." But that you may not boldly contend that
152     IV, 39    |            have to be shaken," you may find in Joel: "And I will
153     IV, 39    |            Son of man, to whom you may refer the execution of the
154     IV, 40    |           order, however, that you may discover how anciently wine
155     IV, 41    |      Creator in Adam's case, which may now recoil on your own God:
156     IV, 42    |         lots upon my vesture." You may as well take away the cross
157      V, 1intro|       believed hastily (and that I may further say is hastily believed,
158      V, 1intro|            him to you, that so you may land him without any misgiving,
159      V, 1intro|        Christ." Of course, any one may make a profession concerning
160      V, 1intro|         and an inquirer; that so I may even thus both refute your
161      V, 2     |            Apostles, in which book may be found the very subject
162      V, 3     |           in the Acts. Their truth may be inferred from their agreement
163      V, 3     |            and hills and mountains may be filled up and levelled,
164      V, 3     |         knew not of? Why, however, may it not be more suitable
165      V, 4     |        what he has erased, when he may be more effectually confuted
166      V, 4     |           Gentiles trust." That we may have, therefore the assurance
167      V, 4     |           an abolition, that so it may be affirmed that the apostle
168      V, 4     |        then a diversity of precept may argue a difference of gods.
169      V, 5     |            God." And then, that we may known from whence this comes,
170      V, 6     |         must become fools, that ye may be wise." Wherefore? "Because
171      V, 6     |           vain." For in general we may conclude for certain that
172      V, 7     |         the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the
173      V, 7     |            the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are
174      V, 8     |        Christ; and I think that we may derive from this a very
175      V, 8     |       special graces. This, too, I may confidently say: he who
176      V, 8     |            destroy it. But that we may now leave the subject of
177      V, 10    |        that practice, (whatever it may have been.) The Februarian
178      V, 10    |            that the "natural body" may fairly be taken to signify
179      V, 10    |   different one, he himself indeed may be called the last. But
180      V, 10    |          in order, indeed, that it may be rendered a fit substance
181      V, 11    |             if the title of Father may be claimed for (Marcion'
182      V, 11    |      revelation; but it is that we may deny him! It is then not
183      V, 11    |            world, in order that he may, by these words, imply that
184      V, 11    |            the life also of Christ may be manifested in our body,"
185      V, 12    |          of Christ, that every one may receive the things done
186      V, 13    |         Creator, but of Marcion! I may here anticipate a remark
187      V, 13    |           are dead to the law." It may be contended that Christ'
188      V, 13    |       exactly flesh. Now, whatever may be the substance, since
189      V, 14    |      Creator, too, however much he may preach up another god, he
190      V, 15    |            slain their prophets. I may ask, What has this to do
191      V, 15    |          be "the will of God," you may discover from the opposite
192      V, 15    |           challenge it whatever it may be to the rule of the grace
193      V, 15    |           spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless unto
194      V, 16    |           light of) nature, for He may be understood from His works,
195      V, 16    |     understood from His works, and may thereby become the object
196      V, 17    |          might recapitulate" (if I may so say, according to the
197      V, 17    |         the Jews, in order that he may draw a distinction with
198      V, 17    |       powers, although these, too, may be ascribed to Him. Nor,
199      V, 17    |         and the Gentiles alike. We may therefore simply conclude
200      V, 18    |       spiritual, in order that you may further learn that this
