And you yourself may find, if you take the trouble, 17 1, XL | even in this account he may, by those who know how to 18 1, XLI | XLI.~But, that we may not have the appearance 19 1, XLII | event has been recorded may be discovered.~ 20 1, XLVI | whom he has introduced, may treat with mockery what 21 1, XLVIII | Although the Jew, then, may offer no defence for himself 22 1, XLVIII | although such an occurrence may be a stumbling-block to 23 1, XLVIII | John at the Jordan. For it may be observed as a trait of 24 1, L | to the events of his life may also suit other events as 25 1, L | these, any one who chooses may say what he thinks fitted 26 1, L | refutation of them, and which may turn away intelligent believers 27 1, LII | other things, although it may be difficult for him to 28 1, LII | against believers, since he may see that reasons of no light 29 1, LIII | a second prophecy, which may appear to us to have a clear 30 1, LIII | Show yourselves." And we may see at the appearing of 31 1, LV | cross?" At another time we may explain the several parts 32 1, LIX | of such circumstances as may cause commotions upon the 33 1, LX | whose nature partook, if I may so speak, both of God and 34 1, LXI | Joseph, although Celsus may not believe it, that he 35 1, LXII | was a follower of Jesus, may have been a tax-gatherer; 36 1, LXIII | of them, in order that he may not be forced to admit the 37 1, LXV | depart from Athens, that we may not give the Athenians a 38 1, LXVI | a dream certain persons may have certain things pointed 39 1, LXVIII | grant that those statements may be true which are made regarding 40 2, V | For which reason, now, we may also see of a truth that 41 2, VI | Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out 42 2, VII | small falsehoods, that he may prove Jesus to have been 43 2, VII | another way in which we may confute him.

But the Jew 46 2, X | everything, whatever it may be, for the sake of His 47 2, XI | statement regarding Judas which may overwhelm our opponents 48 2, XII | opinions of Plato false? Or may it not be, that while Plato 49 2, XIII | establish, although Celsus may not like it, by means of 50 2, XIII | and at any others which He may have delivered respecting 51 2, XVI | that His resurrection also may not be a false, but a real 52 2, XVI | over Him;" although those may be unwilling to admit this 53 2, XX | when it is possible that it may or may not happen, viz., 54 2, XX | possible that it may or may not happen, viz., that one 55 2, XX | a sophism. And that this may be seen, I shall take from 56 2, XX | this argument the following may be wittily compared: "If 57 2, XXIV | wisdom of God, and which may reasonably be pondered over 58 2, XXV | possible, that this cup may pass from Me, in order that 59 2, XXV | such crimes against Me, may not be altogether deserted 60 2, XXVII | any others, whoever they may be, who hold false opinions; 61 2, XXVIII | which they make of them may be overturned. For in this 62 2, XXVIII | admit that the prophecies may be applied to countless 63 2, XXXVI | Gospels, although Celsus may not like it, that it was 64 2, XXXVII | predicted this very incident may be accepted as the more 65 2, XXXVIII| benefit of all those who may be able to understand Him.~ 66 2, XLIV | injury and death, that they may keep it pure and unstained, 67 2, XLV | committed, in order that he may have matter of accusation 68 2, XLIX | of such, is rather, if we may so speak, altogether banished, 69 2, L | one, moreover, who likes may find the prophecy in Daniel 70 2, LI | species as a dog, although it may appear to have some resemblance 71 2, LI | an evil power, so that we may neither slander all without 72 2, LII | Jesus also, in order that He may be believed on by those 73 2, LIII | those who believe on Jesus, may, by parity of reasoning, 74 2, LIII | the same effect, that he may appear to strengthen his 75 2, LVI | crucifixion of Jesus, this also may have contributed to His 76 2, LX | to believe that a dream may take place while one is 77 2, LXII | sight." And although Celsus may wish to place what is told 78 2, LXVIII | the narrative that they may have ground for accusing 79 2, LXIX | the words of the narrative may see something worthy of 80 2, LXXI | innumerable; and these any one may ascertain who chooses, partly 81 2, LXXII | subject of His suffering may suffice.~ 82 2, LXXVI | in the morning that they may follow strong drink;" and, " 83 2, LXXVII | Where, then, is he, that we may see him and believe upon 84 2, LXXVII | wrought miracles, that we may see and believe that He 85 2, LXXVIII| worship?"

These remarks, then, may suffice in answer to what 112 3, LV | fuller's shop, that they may attain to perfection;--and 113 3, LIX | truth compels me, any one may see from the following remarks. 114 3, LXI | those others whom Celsus may enumerate in his exaggerating 115 3, LXIII | mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time;" 116 3, LXIV | that every man, whoever he may be, is conscious of human 117 3, LXV | desire that those promises may be true which are declared 118 3, LXVI | great a change that they may be proposed as a model of 119 3, LXIX | so, although formerly it may have been exceedingly wicked? 120 3, LXIX | blessedness. But these remarks may suffice as an answer to 121 4, I | And we pray that words may be given us, as it is written 122 4, I | book of Jeremiah, that He may grant even to us words adapted 123 4, III | non-existent? These questions may perplex ignorant and foolish 124 4, VI | those who do not believe may no longer have this as a 125 4, VII | that those who accept it may become virtuous and be saved, 126 4, VII | those who do not accept may be shown to be wicked and 127 4, VII | prophets of God. And there may be found in the sacred book ( 128 4, IX | came, then, although Celsus may not wish to admit it, after 129 4, XI | Phoenicians. And any one who likes may peruse the two books of 130 4, XI | the Jews, in order that he may see in what way Moses was 131 4, XIX | XIX.~Others, then, may concede to Celsus that God 132 4, XXI | Genesis respecting the tower may be held to convey no secret 133 4, XXI | but, as Celsus supposes, may be taken as true to the 134 4, XXI | what metaphorical meaning may be deduced from it. Seeing 135 4, XXII | And any one who likes may convict this statement of 136 4, XXIII | inquiring, in what way we may be associated with him for 137 4, XXIII | fire, that the rest of us may have eternal life with him." 138 4, XXIV | And whatever answer you may return to our question, 139 4, XXV | ant. And although a man may be an orator like Demosthenes, 140 4, XXVIII | and inquiries as to how we may become His associates for 141 4, XXVIII | action, in order that we may become His sons, and teaches 142 4, XXVIII | of the world (that they may forsake their sin, and entrust 143 4, XXIX | are far inferior to these, may entertain the hope that 144 4, XXIX | agreeably to reason, we may rise to a likeness with 145 4, XXX | send His own Son, that He may consume the wicked, and 146 4, XXX | and that we other frogs may enjoy eternal life with 147 4, XXXIX | against Porus by Penia, which may be compared with the plot 148 4, XXXIX | some things from them, he may have preserved a few of 149 4, XLIV | Epistle to the Galatians may learn how the passages relating 150 4, LI | successfully or the reverse I may state on another occasion. 151 4, LIII | comparison of both methods he may form a correct idea of the 152 4, LIV | whatever other reasons may be adduced for their existence, 153 4, LXI | Now, in answer to this it may be said, that if no product 154 4, LXIII | Evil. From this also it may be seen that evils both 155 4, LXIII | appearance in human life, we may say that formerly they did 156 4, LXIV | contemplation. In like manner, we may make the same assertion 157 4, LXV | certainly the origin of evils may be considered to be such.~ 158 4, LXVI | Cod enlightening the mind) may be successfully attempted 159 4, LXVII | administered with propriety. We may say further to Celsus, in 160 4, LXX | that "although a thing may seem to you to be evil, 161 4, LXX | wicked, because that which may be considered so in individual 162 4, LXX | so in individual cases, may contain something which 163 4, LXX | free-will of each individual, may make use of the evil of 164 4, LXX | that "although a thing may seem to you to be evil, 165 4, LXX | another," in order that no one may take occasion from what 166 4, LXXI | and do those thingS which may appear to us useful for 167 4, LXXIII | then continues: "But that I may speak not of the Jews alone ( 168 4, LXXV | he adds: "Although you may say that these things, viz., 169 4, LXXV | service of man, that He may bring forth food out of 170 4, LXXVII | them in order that they may rest, and the day that they 171 4, LXXVII | rest, and the day that they may see and resume their work." 172 4, LXXV | their power." And here we may observe, that the gift of 173 4, LXXV | weapon which wild beasts may seem to possess. We, indeed, 174 4, LXXV | beasts of burden. And so it may be said that the race of 175 4, LXXXI | animals, although Celsus may transfer rational names, 176 4, LXXXIII| while praising them, he may compare the measures which 177 4, LXXXIII| perceiving the good which men may do each other, he ought, 178 4, LXXXIII| sprout forth, that they may not swell into bud, but 179 4, LXXXIII| not swell into bud, but may continue throughout the 180 4, LXXXV | character of his opinions may be manifest to those who 181 4, LXXXIX | future events, so also they may free men from doubts regarding 182 4, XC | statements of Celsus, that we may show the ingratitude towards 183 4, XC | does exist, in order that I may in this way show to those 184 4, XCI | instances of a similar character may be found, to show that animals 185 4, XCII | kinds, in order that men may be caught by the divining 186 4, XCIII | reason, whatever else there may be in the writings of Moses 187 4, XCV | individuals whom chance may offer, to convey a knowledge 188 4, XCV | else in the Mosaic writings may excite our wonder, the following 189 4, XCV | nothing of a demoniacal nature may enter into our minds, or 190 4, XCV | knowledge of the glory of God may shine in our hearts, and 191 4, XCV | and that the Spirit of God may dwell in our imaginations, 192 4, XCVI | although their character may happen to be bad. And in 193 4, XCVII | dearer to God than men, may you be beloved of God along 194 4, XCVII | order that he, like them, may enjoy the divine love? And 195 4, XCVII | absurdity. In order that we may believe, however, that certain 196 4, XCVIII | it is possible that it may occur in consequence of 197 4, XCVIII | in order that by it men may be led to admire, not the 198 4, XCIX | took place. Celsus, indeed, may say that this was done not 199 4, XCIX | who hear the threatenings may be converted by them, while 200 4, XCIX | these calls to conversion may deservedly suffer those 201 4, XCIX | terminate our discourse. And may God grant, through His Son, 202 4, XCIX | of God call Him, that we may make a good beginning of 203 4, XCIX | benefit of our readers, and may bring it to a successful 204 5, I | the endeavour, so far as may be within our power, to 205 5, I | let us reply to them. And may God grant that we approach 206 5, I | those whom we wish to aid may not depend upon human wisdom, 207 5, I | participating in the word of God, we may pull down "every high thing 208 5, I | published it with great power" may supply us also, and bestow 209 5, I | the word and power of God may be implanted in the minds 210 5, II | already said upon this point may suffice. We shall mention, 211 5, III | providence," in order that you may maintain the truth of your 212 5, VII | of Moses, although they may not know how to receive 213 5, VIII | Jesus, the following words may be read in the Epistle to 214 5, X | seeing your good works, may glorify your Father who 215 5, XI | God and them. And here I may employ this illustration, 216 5, XI | worship. And although one may not be so exalted (as the 217 5, XIII | his which follow, that we may, God willing, address to 218 5, XV | and lead. And he who likes may learn this from the prophet 219 5, XV | bring upon thee, that I may not destroy thee." We have 220 5, XVIII | charge against us. For we may listen to many passages 221 5, XVIII | worthy of God, although it may, suffice for the present 222 5, XVIII | shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some 223 5, XIX | according to his deserts. And we may hear, moreover, the Scripture 224 5, XIX | corruption;" for although it may require a body, for the 225 5, XXII | things that are in them, may pass away, yet His words 226 5, XXIII | done by God, although they may be, or may appear to some 227 5, XXIII | although they may be, or may appear to some to be incredible, 228 5, XXIV | so far as can be helped, may be offered to the soul which 229 5, XXVII | one, indeed, who chooses, may relate how the various quarters 230 5, XXVIII | comparison, so that the same act may be both pious and impious, 231 5, XXIX | their language, that they may not understand one another' 232 5, XXIX | from one body into another) may not be thrown before the 233 5, XXIX | those who have the capacity may work out for themselves 234 5, XXIX | subject. (The narrative, then, may be understood as follows.)~ 235 5, XXXI | perceive as far as mortals may, observe that in the body 236 5, XXXI | nations as many as he can, may do so, and enact for them 237 5, XXXI | ought to live, that so he may conduct them to the end 238 5, XXXIV | XXXIV.~But, that we may not pass without notice 239 5, XXXIV | men regarding the laws, may be determined by many other 240 5, XXXVI | concerned, even where He may appear to legislate for 241 5, XXXVII | although in doing so it may be necessary to encounter 242 5, XXXVII | acts by means of which we may please the Creator of all 243 5, XXXVII | displeasing to God, though we may satisfy unholy laws, and 244 5, XXXVIII| A similar illustration may be employed in the case 245 5, XXXVIII| although an allegorical meaning may be given to the fables, 246 5, XXXVIII| control of nature, that he may appear to have been fashioned 247 5, XXXIX | must therefore inquire what may be fittingly eaten or not 248 5, XXXIX | redemption." And although we may call Him a "second" God, 249 5, XLIV | The Persians therefore may call the "whole circle of 250 5, XLV | such invocations. And we may say the same also of the 251 5, XLVI | And although the Scythians may call Pappaeus the supreme 252 5, XLVII | But that the whole subject may be still better understood, 253 5, XLVIII | undergone the rite. This may be said to appear from what 254 5, XLIX | things that contain life may do as they please; only 255 5, L | region of the blessed. For we may see both the people themselves, 256 5, LI | ascertain if it be so, and so may any other who thinks alike 257 5, LII | from the same God. But he may be supposed to have the 258 5, LIII | investigation. But that we may avoid the appearance of 259 5, LIII | more precise or more novel may occur to us upon the several 260 5, LIII | Saviour, although the accuser may appear to refute us, will 261 5, LV | LV.~But, that we may grant to him in a spirit 262 5, LV | daughters of men." But whatever may be the meaning of the "sons 263 5, LVII | to the marvels which they may relate; since it is the 264 5, LVIII | willing to follow Him, that He may manifest to them those truths 265 5, LXIII | the next place, that he may have the appearance of knowing 266 5, LXIV | language as the following: "You may hear," he says, "all those 267 5, LXV | since he asserts that "you may hear all those who differ 268 6, II | simple words. For, if I may venture to say so, few have 269 6, II | perceive the improvement which may be derived from his writings. 270 6, III | unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest 271 6, IV | worship of God. Moreover, we may see those who greatly pride 272 6, IV | things! And although some may appear to have risen above 273 6, VII | what we have said in reply may suffice. Seeing, however, 274 6, VII | keep "knocking" at what may be closed within them, the 275 6, X | character and disposition may fit him to receive it, inasmuch 276 6, XI | order to divine whither they may betake themselves, and whom 277 6, XII | and unjust persons, which may serve as a protective and 278 6, XII | things, in order that they may not be compelled to neglect 279 6, XIV | assistance. And although some may say that these objects are 280 6, XVII | God. And in order that it may appear that the knowledge 281 6, XVII | again, that the prophet may show the depth of the doctrines 282 6, XX | are: "That where I go, ye may be also." And therefore 283 6, XXVI | against it by Celsus. We may therefore allow his charges 284 6, XXX | knowing them better than he, may demonstrate that these are 285 6, XXXIV | many put to death that they may live, and death ceasing 286 6, XXXVI | strait descent," again, may perhaps be referred by those 287 6, XXXVI | of righteousness, that I may go into them, and praise 288 6, XXXVI | the gates of death, that I may show forth all Thy praise 289 6, XXXIX | of the simple (that they may have the appearance of acting 290 6, XLII | arranged under laws,~which may be analogically compared 291 6, XLIII | tempted the Saviour, that I may not appear to quote in reply 292 6, XLIV | their rational nature, they may appear deserving of an ascent 293 6, XLIV | ascent to divine things, and may be elevated by the Word 294 6, XLVI | And any one who chooses may read it. Observe, however, 295 6, XLVI | adduce, that the hearer may understand in some slight 296 6, XLVI | and reply to it as we best may.~ 297 6, XLVIII | Scriptures. But that we may win over to the reception 298 6, XLIX | the arguments by which it may be defended, he may read 299 6, XLIX | which it may be defended, he may read what we have written 300 6, L | thinks that these words may be referred to the statement, " 301 6, LIV | loveth many days, that he may see good?

For that one may (really) desire what is 305 6, LVII | one who admonishes, and may become deserving of those 306 6, LIX | according to John especially, we may frequently find the regions 307 6, LXI | figurative sense, so that we may translate the following 308 6, LXII | any other definition which may be given to the voice by 309 6, LXII | have knowledge, (and which may be attributed to God); for 310 6, LXIII | image," the better part, may be in the soul; while the 311 6, LXIII | according to the body," may be in the body,--an assertion, 312 6, LXV | one whatever to whom He may reveal the Father; and thus 313 6, LXVII | mercy upon me," they too may receive mercy and recover 314 6, LXVIII | those who are flesh, that He may in the first place cause 315 6, LXVIII | made flesh, and afterwards may lead them upwards to behold 316 6, LXXI | body. The Stoics, then, may consign all things to destruction 317 6, LXXIII | although the force of reason may have discovered that they 318 6, LXXIV | the various arguments that may be urged on Marcion's behalf, 319 6, LXXVII | Him, in order that they may attend Him even when He 320 6, LXXVII | gates of death, that he may "publish the praises of 321 6, LXXIX | is unaffected by sleep, may teach us that God administers 322 6, LXXX | whom Celsus does not know, may be saved.~ 323 7, I | delivered from deception may go on with the prophet to 324 7, I | sacrifice unto Thee," and may offer to the Most High a 325 7, III | under their guidance we may say that colonies were sent 326 7, III | on the other hand, they may be traced to wicked demons-- 327 7, IV | and by the contact--if I may so say--of the Holy Spirit 328 7, IV | with them? And this, we may observe, they do without 329 7, V | attached for entire ages, as I may say, to particular dwellings 330 7, VII | beginning with "Come, that I may tell you what shall befall 331 7, XI | wish to study Scripture may also find out its meaning 332 7, XIII | of evil; for whatever he may say, no such things have 333 7, XIII | flesh of sheep; and while it may seem that Jesus ate, He 334 7, XV | that although the prophets may have foretold truly such 335 7, XV | mutually destructive. This may be shown as follows. The 336 7, XVI | Christian, however simple he may be, and however little versed 337 7, XVIII | been deceived by it, we may reply that we have only 338 7, XIX | result of God's anger, if I may so say, than of His blessing. 339 7, XIX | should slay their enemies, it may be answered that any one 340 7, XIX | wicked of the land; that I may cut off all workers of iniquity 341 7, XIX | of the Psalm, as any one may read for himself, uttered 342 7, XX | spiritual sense of Scripture. We may therefore find in Paul, 343 7, XXI | riches to the just, Celsus may follow the letter which 344 7, XXI | wisdom, in all good works, may not out of these treasures 345 7, XXII | wicked of the land, that I may cut off all workers of iniquity 346 7, XXII | therefore truly blessed. God may therefore have commanded 347 7, XXII | teaching of Christ; and He may Himself have destroyed before 348 7, XXII | the law and word of God may well be compared to His 349 7, XXII | astray by sin; and they may well be said to suffer the 350 7, XXIV | containing a deeper meaning, may yet be taken in their more 351 7, XXVIII | for it, however good it may be, still forms part of 352 7, XXIX | apply to it, although we may say of it, that both Judea 353 7, XXXIII | resurrection in order that we may see and know God, he thus 354 7, XXXIV | Open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out 355 7, XXXIX | invites us to learn, that we may ascertain from him how we 356 7, XXXIX | in order that the soul may look without distraction 357 7, XL | That excess of zeal, if it may be so called, which leads 358 7, XLI | us to follow, so that we may not be in want of guides 359 7, XLI | superstition, that they may look upward through the 360 7, XLII | a notion, namely; which may represent Him to us through 361 7, XLII | found them himself. Plato may say that "it is a hard thing 362 7, XLIII | contrary, he implies that He may be spoken of, and that there 363 7, XLIII | there are a few to whom He may be made known. But Celsus, 364 7, XLIV | Celsus supposes that we may arrive at a knowledge of 365 7, XLIV | and that in this way we may as it were gain admission 366 7, XLV | spirit within me," so that we may behold Him with that "pure 367 7, XLVI | defamed to entreat," they may be said to be walking in 368 7, XLVI | phenomenal things only that they may use them as steps to ascend 369 7, XLVII | became "darkened." Thus we may see how those who accounted 370 7, XLVIII | Athenians.

Celsus may indeed say of us that we " 375 7, LIII | taken him up before you. You may then take Anaxarchus, who, 376 7, LV | calamity. Perhaps Celsus may believe what was recorded 377 7, LV | naturally regards anything which may befall him as necessary 378 7, LV | and inevitable; though he may submit to what is not inevitable, 379 7, LVI | He seems to think that he may in this way make assertions 380 7, LVIII | not.' 'But tell me, Crito, may we do evil to any one or 381 7, LVIII | any one, whatever evil we may have suffered from him.' 382 7, LVIII | from this principle, we may not come to the conclusion . 383 7, LIX | however paradoxical it may seem, we are prepared to 384 7, LX | familiar to them, so that they may easily be induced, after 385 7, LX | ordinary reader of Scripture may see that it contains many 386 7, LXI | philosophy of Greece. It may also be observed, that the 387 7, LXIII | rounded, in order that we may approve of those who object 388 7, LXIII | For one and the same thing may be done for different reasons. 389 7, LXIV | these haunts, where they may pursue their criminal pleasures, 390 7, LXV | gods and heroes are," we may reply that it is easy to 391 7, LXVI | honour to images, is that we may give no support to the notion 392 7, LXIX | must not serve demons. We may also learn the true nature 393 7, LXX | of their number one who may be their leader,--so the 394 7, LXX | under whose command they may plunder and pillage the 395 8, I | to begin the eighth. And may God and His Only-begotten 396 8, I | Again, then, I would say, may God bestow upon us His pure 397 8, III | proceeding to the next point, it may be well for us to see whether 398 8, V | like them, or in any way he may, "to look not at the things 399 8, V | when fully instructed He may form them into a kingdom 400 8, V | covenants, in order that they may live as citizens of heaven, " 401 8, VII | that he who serves one hero may not serve another, and he 402 8, VII | he who serves one demon may not serve another, as though 403 8, VIII | Socrates, "Anytus and Melitus may kill me, but they cannot 404 8, IX | universe," by adding, "We may honour none, however, except 405 8, IX | to Him by God, "that all may honour the Son, even as 406 8, IX | honouring truth: and this we may say of honouring wisdom, 407 8, XI | that there is only one who may be called Lord, speaks impiously, 408 8, XI | that the kingdom of God may be ours. Celsus, however, 409 8, XII | XII.~In what follows. some may imagine that he says something 410 8, XII | and of one soul," that he may understand the meaning of 411 8, XIV | Father. Grant that there may be some individuals among 412 8, XV | goes on to say: "That I may give a true representation 413 8, XV | accord they honour, that they may honour this Son of man alone, 414 8, XVI | These remarks of Celsus may apply to those who go on 415 8, XVI | Creator; and with these may be joined any that there 416 8, XVI | be joined any that there may be who say that the Son 417 8, XIX | compared with temples, that we may prove to those who accept 418 8, XX | our altars, with what we may call the incense ascending 419 8, XXI | the service of God, but may on the contrary be proved 420 8, XXII | supplication and prayer, that he may become worthy of receiving " 421 8, XXIV | and pray to them that they may be propitious."

We 432 8, XXXV | despitefully use you, that ye may be the children of your 433 8, XXXVI | power of other demons, they may suffer punishment from them. 434 8, XXXVII | different tongue, hearing, if I may so say, but one voice, expressing 435 8, XXXIX | remedies, and have been, as we may say, visited with an incurable 436 8, XLI | inhuman? Perhaps, indeed, you may say that he suffered so 437 8, XLI | which we pour upon another may seem to have some excuse 438 8, XLI | reviled, however wicked he may be.~ 439 8, XLII | say no more here, that we may not repeat what we have 440 8, XLII | citizens. And yet, though it may seem an incredible thing 441 8, XLIII | purposes of God; indeed, if we may so say, they served rather 442 8, XLIII | you load with insults, you may in like manner say that 443 8, XLIV | traces of the same feeling may be seen in the demeanour 444 8, XLIV | overpowered by the tortures "may take the oath, the mind 445 8, XLIV | has not sworn.", And this may serve as an answer to the 446 8, XLIV | of his Master, that so he may preserve himself, and employ 447 8, XLV | and His disciples. For why may not our accounts be true, 448 8, XLVII | to their truth. But why may we not consider the accounts 449 8, LI | opportunity for curing the passion may pass away." And he adds, " 450 8, LIII | the universe, or that they may in that way suffer the punishment 451 8, LIV | shadow of death," so that we may therefore say, "Let us break 452 8, LIV | sufferings, if by that means he may avoid bestowing the name 453 8, LV | behind them, that such a race may become extinct from the 454 8, LVI | life," so that "such a race may become extinct from the 455 8, LVI | dishonour mammon, that we may honour God by keeping His 456 8, LVI | obeying the law of mammon we may honour mammon,~ 457 8, LVII | in all things so that he may please God. Again, Celsus 458 8, LVII | in whatever condition we may be, and who has given us 459 8, LVIII | serve them, in order that we may be in health rather than 460 8, LVIII | rather than adversity, and may as far as possible escape 461 8, LVIII | Him a power by which they may be defended from the assaults 462 8, LIX | Father.'' But although they may ridicule such a statement. 463 8, LIX | throughout the world; yea, I may add without exaggeration, 464 8, LX | and dreading that harm may arise from these statements, 465 8, LXII | this suspicion against us, may now believe that the statements 466 8, LXIV | intercessions for them. We may indeed boldly say, that 467 8, LXIV | our mortal race, and if I may so say, take up arms alongside 468 8, LXVII | as the sun, although we may celebrate its glory. Celsus, 469 8, LXVIII | whatever interpretation may be given to this allegory), 470 8, LXXII | no evil so strong that it may not be overcome by the Supreme 471 8, LXXII | gather the nations, that I may assemble the kings, to pour 472 8, LXXII | pure language, that they may all call upon the name of 473 8, LXXIII | free from blood, that they may with hands unstained and 474 8, LXXIII | those who act righteously may be destroyed!" And as we 475 8, LXXIV | heavenly city, to whom it may be said, "Thou hast been 476 8, LXXV | public offices, but that they may reserve themselves for a 477 8, LXXV | that are within, that they may day by day lead better lives, 478 8, LXXV | that are without, that they may come to abound in holy words 479 8, LXXV | can in the same way, they may be filled with the word 480 8, LXXVI | writing a second book, we may well be contented with these 481 8, LXXVI | and send it to us, that we may answer it as the Father 482 8, LXXVI | it as the Father of truth may give us ability, and either 483 8, LXXVI | the false teaching that may be in it, or, laying aside 484 8, LXXVI | laying aside all jealousy, we may testify our approval of 485 8, LXXVI | approval of whatever truth it may contain.~GLORY BE TO THEE,
