Chapter

  1 I   |           we have been endowed by God with that power which the
  2 I   |        save that this, to die for God, is, since He preserves
  3 I   |        death by violence? Or does God importune for the blood
  4 I   |         source. If the promise of God flows with milk and honey,
  5 II  |        warrant goes first whether God has willed and also commanded
  6 II  |   instituted and also enjoined by God. Let the Gospels wait a
  7 II  |           I ascertain the will of God from those writings from
  8 II  |           also: "I am," says He, "God, thy God, who have brought
  9 II  |           am," says He, "God, thy God, who have brought thee out
 10 II  |       them. For I am the Lord thy God." Likewise in the same book
 11 II  |            O Israel; The Lord thy God is one: and thou shalt love
 12 II  |           shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and all
 13 II  |          thou forget the Lord thy God, who brought thee forth
 14 II  |           shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve Him only, and
 15 II  |         you, because the Lord thy God is also a jealous God among
 16 II  |         thy God is also a jealous God among you, and lest His
 17 II  |     commandments of the Lord your God, whatsoever I command you
 18 II  |        dreamer, for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether
 19 II  |           to know whether ye fear God with all your heart and
 20 II  |         soul. After the Lord your God ye shall go, and fear Him,
 21 II  |       thee away from the Lord thy God." But also in another section. "
 22 II  |       thee away from the Lord thy God." He adds likewise concerning
 23 II  |          in the sight of the Lord God; and, says He, "it shall
 24 II  |          gods: I am the Lord your God." And in other passages: "
 25 II  |         Egypt: I am the Lord your God. Ye shall not make you idols
 26 II  |           it): I am the Lord your God." These words indeed were
 27 II  |  certainly to whomsoever the Lord God of Israel may lead forth
 28 II  |       also utterances of the same God, augmenting the same law
 29 III |        needful to discuss whether God pursues a worthy course
 30 III |        test these appointments of God in opposition to false religions,
 31 III |  martyrdoms. Moses was apart with God on the mountain, when the

 33 III |       their so very near relative God, solemnly marked both the
 34 III |          of Nave they forsake the God of their fathers, and serve
 35 III |        distressed. And after this God sets judges (critas), the
 36 IV  |          no offence is counted by God so presumptuous as a trespass
 37 IV  |      stung concerning the will of God, and the scorpion repeats
 38 IV  |  insinuates that there is another god, such that this is not his
 39 IV  |    altogether denies this will of God, if he cannot deny Himself.
 40 IV  |        contending elsewhere about God, and about all the rest
 41 IV  |            is that of not another god than the God of Israel,
 42 IV  |          not another god than the God of Israel, on the ground
 43 IV  |         make mention of any other god, not even by speaking, as
 44 IV  |         by the hand, to fashion a god, and not to worship or in

 48 V   |         make the supposition that God is evil, he will not be
 49 V   |         thought to be evil is not God, or that he whom he has
 50 V   |           he has proclaimed to be God is good. Good, therefore,
 51 V   |           he is good, will not be God. The goodness of the thing

 55 V   |           But you will think that God must be found fault with,

 57 V   |          for eternity, extol your God for your prosperity; you
 58 VI  |           for the contest's sake, God had appointed martrydoms
 59 VI  |          rather than harshness in God holds sway. For He wished
 60 VI  |         Shall it be unbecoming in God to bring forth kinds of
 61 VI  |          disgrace? You dictate to God, forsooth, the times, or
 62 VI  |          the one from the hand of God, the other from His breath

 72 VII |           also knows what kind of God he has ascribed to us, when
 73 VII |           us, when he writes: "If God spared not His own Son,
