And so also these men have heard the words, "I 123 2, XXV | distressing," how could men afterwards quote the example 124 2, XXIX | that a pestilence converts men from the practice of evil 125 2, XXX | account of the necessity of men everywhere engaging in war, 126 2, XXX | peace, which does not permit men to take vengeance even upon 127 2, XXXI | professed to be learned men, I never heard any one expressing 128 2, XXXIV | voluntarily for the sake of men, and who endured them with 129 2, XXXV | possessed by the majority of men.~ 130 2, XXXVIII | first advent, not to condemn men and their actions before 131 2, XXXVIII | demons from the souls of men through Beelzebub the prince 132 2, XL | Lord's pre-eminence among men to consist, not in the preaching 133 2, XL | and who regard religious men as altogether irreligious, 134 2, XLI | conspiracy on the part of wicked men, then it is clear that he 135 2, XLI | also the other band of poor men is among the Greeks, who 136 2, XLII | an illustrious pattern to men of the manner in which they 137 2, XLIV | sins which prevail among men, and from the flood of wickedness ( 138 2, XLIV | transgressors by wicked men, who desired rather a "murderer" ( 139 2, XLIV | condemnation which they do among men.

For it appears 164 2, LXIII | Himself--publicly, and to all men. But it is recorded in the 165 2, LXIV | was not dead unto sin, all men were capable of seeing Him; 166 2, LXVII | smitten with blindness, as the men of Sodom were when they 167 2, LXVII | of the matter: "But the men put forth their hand, and 168 2, LXVII | door.

Now, let him who is of 230 3, XLVII | Gospel, as censuring wicked men, says of them that they 231 3, XLVII | all-important, they are wise men of the world: for as there 232 3, XLVII | kingdom, and which teach men to despise all sensible 233 3, XLVII | truth, says of certain wise men among the Greeks, when their 234 3, XLVIII | how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many 235 3, XLVIII | but that "not many wise men according to the flesh," 236 3, XLIX | Christ is the Saviour of all men, and especially of them 237 3, XLIX | opinions is what even the wise men among the Greeks would not 238 3, XLIX | are true, and which incite men to virtue? Moreover, it 239 3, L | approach an assembly of wise men, nor dare to exhibit their 240 3, L | wherever they see young men, and a mob of slaves, and 241 3, L | the things read, we lead men to the worship of the God 242 3, L | their discourses as exhort men to virtue,--a practice which 243 3, LII | approach an assembly of wise men, nor dare to show off their 244 3, LII | wherever they see young men, and a mob of slaves, and 245 3, LII | should be composed of wise men, and those things among 246 3, LIII | not carnal, and walk as men?" Now the same writer, knowing 247 3, LIII | mentioned in an assembly of wise men, but that wherever (our 248 3, LIII | our instructors) see young men, and a mob of slaves, and 249 3, LIV | do desire to instruct all men in the word of God, so as 250 3, LIV | so as to give to young men the exhortations which are 251 3, LIV | and Barbarians, to wise men and fools, (for they do 252 3, LIV | philosophers invite young men to their lectures? and do 253 3, LIV | they not encourage young men to exchange a wicked life 254 3, LV | that they alone know how men ought to live, and that, 255 3, LVII | lead and drag the young men to all those disorderly 256 3, LVIII | their sons, and for young men in general, would not, in 257 3, LVIII | reach the minds of the young men. And we say the same regarding 258 3, LVIII | say to each of the young men what tends to his profit), 259 3, LVIII | teachers who train young men for philosophy, and who 260 3, LVIII | from such turn away young men, but will try to raise them, 261 3, LIX | view, at first invite all men to be healed, and exhort 262 3, LIX | the doctrines which teach men not to sin, and those who 263 3, LXI | their villany against the men whom they desire to slay 264 3, LXII | necessarily first exist in men. As Paul also says, "When 265 3, LXIII | the next place, as if all men were not invited by the 266 3, LXIII | the word, he says, "All men, then, without distinction, 267 3, LXIII | will give you rest." All men, therefore, labouring and 268 3, LXIV | Thee that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, 269 3, LXV | unholy and abandoned of men. But if any one will fairly 270 3, LXV | also, when very abandoned men are willing to accept the 271 3, LXVI | clearly appears that all men are inclined to sin by nature, 272 3, LXVI | practice, while not all men are incapable of an entire 273 3, LXVI | was a possible thing for men. But although he did not 274 3, LXVII | by the most abandoned of men, could not be completely 275 3, LXVII | among the most abandoned of men the individual who somehow 276 3, LXVIII | high-toned courage as to lead men to despise even death through 277 3, LXXII | himself as follows: "Wise men reject what we say, being 278 3, LXXIII | through Jesus Christ for men in all parts of the world, 279 3, LXXIV | wicked, do you, in drawing men to philosophy, seek to gain 280 3, LXXIV | but the inferior class of men intellectually, I shall 281 3, LXXV | say that "knowledge causes men to lose their soundness 282 3, LXXVI | that images, fashioned by men of worthless and sometimes 283 3, LXXVIII | order to lead on wicked men by empty hopes, and to persuade 284 3, LXXVIII | devised against them among men,--even death itself, with 285 3, LXXIX | our doctrine with making men superstitious, we shall 286 3, LXXXI | better things" we persuade men to despise, and let him 287 3, LXXXI | are acknowledged among all men to be human, are superior 288 4, III | learn what goes on amongst men?" For not one of us asserts 289 4, III | learn what goes on amongst men that Christ entered into 290 4, III | learn what goes on among men," he makes this objection 291 4, III | know, but does not make (men) better, nor is it possible 292 4, III | his divine power to make (men) better." Now all this on 293 4, III | his divine power, to make (men) better, unless he send 294 4, III | God's filling the minds of men with new ideas, removing 295 4, III | divine power, to create men who needed no improvement, 296 4, III | indeed, but does not make (men) better, nor is able to 297 4, IV | know what takes place among men, or does He not know? Now 298 4, IV | know, why does He not make (men) better? Is it obligatory, 299 4, IV | procedure in not making men better, although He knows 300 4, IV | all that takes place among men, does not make them better, 301 4, IV | divine power liberate all men from evil? We are not ashamed, 302 4, IV | instructors) in order to make men better; for there are to 303 4, IV | are to be found amongst men reasons given by God which 304 4, IV | but as far as in Him lay, men in every country, for He 305 4, IV | came as the Saviour of all men.~ 306 4, V | Himself will come down to men." He imagines also that 307 4, V | with Jesus into the life of men, and although the Word which 308 4, V | for the coming of God to men, that He should abandon 309 4, V | entrance of the word among men, we shall not be reluctant 310 4, VI | God, being unknown amongst men, and deeming himself on 311 4, VI | not being known by wicked men, would desire to make Himself 312 4, VII | bethink himself of making men live righteous lives, but 313 4, VII | God did not wish to make men live righteous lives; but 314 4, VIII | bethink himself of making men live righteous lives, but 315 4, IX | not need to employ against men whips, and chains, and tortures, 316 4, XII | certain of the prophets, being men of very great antiquity, 317 4, XII | arranges the affairs of men, and especially those of 318 4, XII | wicked. And as custom leads men to say that teachers "condescend" 319 4, XII | condescend" to children, and wise men to those youths who have 320 4, XIV | But if he come down among men, he must undergo a change, 321 4, XV | His having descended among men, He was "previously in the 322 4, XV | capable of being received by men. But He did not, I imagine, 323 4, XVI | inferior to that of the sons of men." And let these remarks 324 4, XVIII | made in the likeness of men; and being found in fashion 325 4, XIX | the advent of Jesus among men was no mere appearance, 326 4, XX | of God into the life of men has already taken place, 327 4, XXIV | against us, Do you regard all men as a collection of bats, 328 4, XXIV | established laws, treat them as men, while you hold cheap Christians 329 4, XXIV | unbecoming, whether spoken of all men in general, or of us in 330 4, XXIV | you say justly that all men, as compared with God, are ( 331 4, XXIV | would be superior to us men; for they are larger, and 332 4, XXV | therefore, that neither can men in general be deemed worms 333 4, XXV | more than other wicked men, to worms rolling in a corner 334 4, XXVI | once admitted that certain men are worms and ants, that 335 4, XXVI | other objects, the works of men's hands; whereas, from the 336 4, XXVI | while those are indeed men, and more honourable than 337 4, XXVI | and more honourable than men (if there be anything that 338 4, XXVII | evils which prevail amongst men, from which even those who 339 4, XXVIII | as in our power, to all men?
