  1      I, 2     |      CONSTRUCTED THIS HERESY OF AN EVIL AND A GOOD GOD.~The heretic
  2      I, 2     |          good faith cannot produce evil deeds, any more than an
  3      I, 2     |            deeds, any more than an evil disposition can produce
  4      I, 2     |          question of the origin of evil, his perception became blunted
  5      I, 2     |              I am He that createth evil," inasmuch as he had already
  6      I, 2     |          that God is the author of evil, so he now applied to the
  7      I, 2     |        corrupt tree bringing forth evil fruit, that is, moral evil,
  8      I, 2     |         evil fruit, that is, moral evil, and then presumed that
  9      I, 2     |        attributes in the matter of evil; the other, whom he laboured
 10      I, 15    |       matter he further associates evil, an unbegotten principle
 11      I, 16    |           as life and death, or as evil things and peace? And verily,
 12      I, 22    |         obloquy by permitting His (evil) works to be done, and by
 13      I, 22    |         Marcion's god: tolerant of evil, encouraging wrong, wheedling
 14      I, 23    | irrationality. More easily will an evil thing which has something
 15      I, 23    |           escape being regarded as evil. Now I deny that the goodness
 16      I, 23    |            man through him becomes evil; so propitious, too, as
 17      I, 26    |         AND UNGODLIKE. HE DISLIKES EVIL, BUT DOES NOT PUNISH ITS
 18      I, 26    |          good than as the enemy of evil, and that to such a degree
 19      I, 26    |           of good by the hatred of evil, and to fulfil His defence
 20      I, 27    |           Again, he plainly judges evil by not willing it, and condemns
 21      I, 29    |            sanctity, as if it were evil; but as being ripe for its
 22      I, 29    |         reproaching marriage as an evil and unchaste thing, he is
 23     II, 5     |          future, and able to avert evil, why did He permit man,
 24     II, 5     |    impossible and improper for any evil to have happened to man,
 25     II, 5     |           happened to man, and yet evil did occur, let us consider
 26     II, 5     |           sets before man good and evil, life and death, that the
 27     II, 6     |     IMPOSSIBLE IF MAN WERE GOOD OR EVIL THROUGH NECESSITY AND NOT
 28     II, 6     |          strong in defence against evil also (for even this God,
 29     II, 6     |       subject to the usurpation of evil, a slave as much to evil
 30     II, 6     |           evil, a slave as much to evil as to good. Entire freedom
 31     II, 6     |  spontaneous observance of it, and evil by its spontaneous avoidance;
 32     II, 6     |      reward neither of good nor of evil could be paid to the man
 33     II, 6     |           have been either good or evil through necessity and not
 34     II, 6     |           convince us that nothing evil could possibly have come
 35     II, 9     |      purged from all imputation to evil. For the liberty of the
 36     II, 9     |       improperly used. What is the evil, then, which you want to
 37     II, 9     |         condemner. If death is the evil, death will not give the
 38     II, 10    |            transfer the account of evil from man to the devil as
 39     II, 10    |        creatures; and wisdom is no evil. if you turn to the prophecy
 40     II, 10    |          his own accord removed to evil. From the day when thine
 41     II, 11    |          of a judge is allied with evil, who have been dreaming
 42     II, 11    |           her among the species of evil, that is, to add injustice
 43     II, 11    |             But then justice is an evil, if injustice is a good.
 44     II, 11    |        there is nothing hostile to evil which is not good, and no
 45     II, 11    |         enemy of good which is not evil. It follows, then, that
 46     II, 11    |            that as injustice is an evil, so in the same degree is
 47     II, 12    |        defined as beginning I when evil began, and so tarnish His
 48     II, 12    |        justice i with the cause of evil. By such considerations,
 49     II, 13    |          RECONCILED.~But yet, when evil afterwards broke out, and
 50     II, 13    |        contributes to good, not to evil. For good, now contending
 51     II, 13    |         when so many incentives to evil were assailing him, would
 52     II, 13    |           bow broad is the road to evil, how thronged in comparison
 53     II, 13    |            scarcely turn away from evil. What, if He threatened
 54     II, 13    |           you call this justice an evil, when it is all unfavourable
 55     II, 13    |          it is all unfavourable to evil? Will you deny it to be
 56     II, 13    |        manner who is a stranger to evil, except Him who is its enemy?
 57     II, 14    |                               XIV. EVIL OF TWO KINDS, PENAL AND
 58     II, 14    |           yet exalts; who "creates evil," but also "makes peace;"
 59     II, 14    |       Himself to be the creator of evil in the passage, "It is I
 60     II, 14    |       passage, "It is I who create evil." They take a word whose
 61     II, 14    |   understood as the creator of all evil things, in order that He
 62     II, 14    |           designated the author of evil. We, on the contrary, distinguish
 63     II, 14    |       creator. They are, no doubt, evil to those by whom they are
 64     II, 14    |             they will be no longer evil things, but good evil only
 65     II, 14    |       longer evil things, but good evil only to the bad, by whom
 66     II, 14    |            things are condemned as evil. In this case, you must
 67     II, 16    |        else is a hinderance to the evil. So, again, mercy on account
 68     II, 17    |      making His sun to rise on the evil and on the good," a bounty
 69     II, 19    |            men should "cease to do evil, learn to do well, seek
 70     II, 19    |             keep their tongue from evil, and their lips from speaking
 71     II, 19    |        speaking guile: depart from evil, and do good; seek peace,
 72     II, 23    |             too, him who is always evil, and he will never be chosen.
 73     II, 23    |          pursuit of both (good and evil) be recompensed in both
 74     II, 24    |          an acknowledgment of some evil work or error. Well, this
 75     II, 24    |            And God repented of the evil that He had said that He
 76     II, 24    |          and repentest Thee of the evil." It is well, therefore,
 77     II, 24    |         that the very contact with evil is incompatible with such
 78     II, 24    |          but yet he has mentioned "evil" (in the passage under discussion),
 79     II, 24    |             We say, in short, that evil in the present case means,
 80     II, 24    |         the Creator's nature as an evil being, but what may be attributed
 81     II, 24    |       which He declared, "I create evil," and, "I frame evil against
 82     II, 24    |        create evil," and, "I frame evil against you;" meaning not
 83     II, 24    |        they show that the judge is evil: so in like manner will
 84     II, 24    |        manner will this particular evil be understood to be one
 85     II, 24    |           Creator repented of such evil as this, as showing that
 86     II, 24    |          justly decreed, having no evil purpose in His decree, He
 87     II, 24    |            He gave it the name of "evil," because of the evil and
 88     II, 24    |          of "evil," because of the evil and desert involved in the
 89     II, 24    |        will say, if you excuse the evil under name of justice, on
 90     II, 24    |  repentance of either a good or an evil deed. Now this point is
 91     II, 24    |       condemnation of a good or an evil work. What, then, will be
 92     II, 28    |          too the devil and all the evil which my God permitted to
 93     II, 28    |            God repented Him of the evil in a given case; so also
 94    III, 13    |           nor is His "refusing the evil;" for this, too, is only
 95    III, 21    |          tongues, and all kinds of evil, and blasphemy. "Nation
 96    III, 22    |           of good," not of war nor evil tidings. In response to
 97    III, 22    |          has been removed from the evil person." Who is this but
 98    III, 24    |          wounds and heals, creates evil and makes peace! Oh, what
 99     IV, 1     |        even the same "who createth evil and maketh peace;" from
100     IV, 7     |     EXAMINATION OF THE CASE OF THE EVIL SPIRIT IN THE SYNAGOGUE
101     IV, 7     |     present discussion is, how the evil spirit could have known
102     IV, 7     |     actually had (although only an evil spirit) some idea of the
103     IV, 7     |         Jesus, to whom pertain the evil spirits of the Creator.
104     IV, 7     |        neither acknowledged by the evil spirit, nor affirmed by
105     IV, 7     |      confession only petulant, and evil in adulation just as if
106     IV, 7     |         glory in the subjection of evil spirits but in the fair
107     IV, 7     |            to it, follows that the evil spirit made no mistake,
108     IV, 7     |          it was impossible for the evil spirit to have acknowledged
109     IV, 7     |            that He was He whom the evil spirit had acknowledged,
110     IV, 8     |           liberate men, then, from evil spirits, is a cure of sickness.
111     IV, 8     |        fear, undoubtedly, that the evil spirits were cowed. Therefore
112     IV, 9     |         the law, he has now become evil as a destroyer of the law.
113     IV, 9     |       himself in the support of an evil thing. Therefore he is not
114     IV, 14    |        shall cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake."
115     IV, 16    |             and hate us, and speak evil of us, and calumniate us,
116     IV, 16    |            Let none of you imagine evil against his brother," He
117     IV, 16    |            Let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his
118     IV, 16    |     conduct. For although good and evil are severally known by nature,
119     IV, 17    |          the unthankful and to the evil." Well done, Marcion! how
120     IV, 17    |           good tree cannot produce evil fruit, so neither can truth
121     IV, 17    |       nothing good out of Cerdon's evil treasure; nor Apelles out
122     IV, 21    |          Judge who recompenses the evil gain of life with its destruction,
123     IV, 21    |     presents to me one who returns evil for evil. "For whosoever,"
124     IV, 21    |           one who returns evil for evil. "For whosoever," says He, "
125     IV, 24    |         and serpents are portended evil spirits, whose very prince
126     IV, 26    |       appertain to Him not to give evil instead of good, who has
127     IV, 29    |          good. For nothing that is evil is necessary. So that he

130     IV, 38    |         these things," He returned evil for evil! ''Render unto
131     IV, 38    |      things," He returned evil for evil! ''Render unto Caesar the
132      V, 1intro|        receiving from him good for evil, we have nothing else than

135      V, 8     |            who shun heresies as an evil thing. In like manner, when
136      V, 10    |         that is condemned in which evil is done, but only the evil
137      V, 10    |         evil is done, but only the evil which is done in it. To
