And we have 27 1, XLV | a disputation held with certain Jews who were reputed learned 28 1, XLVI | many cures, and foresee certain events, according to the 29 1, LII | somehow become familiar with certain opinions, which have deeply 30 1, LII | and stamped them with a certain character, will not give 31 1, LV | a disputation held with certain Jews, who were reckoned 32 1, LVII | mention that there was a certain Theudas among the Jews before 33 1, LVII | wise man, and a teacher of certain new doctrines.

Now it is certain that the Jews themselves 57 2, XLVIII | not be merely symbols of certain things, but that by the 58 2, XLIX | of God, and who tried by certain apparent miracles to gain 59 2, XLIX | disciples of Jesus, said in a certain passage: "Then, if any man 60 2, XLIX | nature, but the inventions of certain deceivers, and of thoroughly 61 2, LI | Jesus say, that it is "a certain Satan who contrives such 62 2, LIII | but were the inventions of certain deceivers, and of very wicked 63 2, LVI | heroes disappeared for a certain time, and secretly withdrew 64 2, LXVI | the same way, but with a certain discrimination which measured 65 2, LXVII | whom He was known, but a certain part of Him remained concealed 66 2, LXVIII | nature of the case; and is certain, moreover, from what is 67 2, LXVIII | of those who do not adopt certain portions merely of the narrative 68 2, LXIX | after He had spoken to them certain words?~ 69 2, LXXVIII | inquired not after Me."

For they set up in certain places demons claiming prophetic 95 3, XXXVIII | few. And when I speak of a certain belief being, as the multitude 96 3, XLII | with Jesus. But if it is certain that, although some things 97 3, XLV | its hearers, it has spoken certain truths in enigmas, others 98 3, XLVII | lover of truth, says of certain wise men among the Greeks, 99 3, L | virtue,--a practice which certain of the Cynics especially 100 3, LI | and among these there are certain persons appointed to make 101 3, LIII | knowing that there was a certain kind of nourishment better 102 3, LV | children privately, and certain women as ignorant as themselves, 103 3, LXII | were to find fault with certain persons for saying that 104 3, LXIV | himself on the ground of certain good qualities which he 105 3, LXIV | Pharisee who boasted with a certain wicked self-conceit in the 106 3, LXVII | false from the history of certain philosophers. For who is 107 3, LXXIX | him by saying that, as a certain legislators replied to the 108 3, LXXXI | of the soul; for, holding certain views in common with them, 109 4, II | II.~"But that certain Christians and (all) Jews 110 4, II | descend, upon the earth a certain God, or Son of a God, who 111 4, II | correctly regarding not "certain" of the Jews, but all of 112 4, II | imagine that there is a certain (God) who will descend upon 113 4, II | regard to Christians, that certain of them say that He has 114 4, II | seems to know that there are certain heretical sects which deny 115 4, VI | Himself take up His abode in certain individuals, or send His 116 4, VIII | matter of surprise that in certain generations there have existed 117 4, VIII | possession." For there are certain connected and related reasons, 118 4, XI | Moses, who is related by certain Greek historians to have 119 4, XII | observe, that Moses and certain of the prophets, being men 120 4, XII | same events recurring at certain intervals, and differing 121 4, XVII | the Shepherd is said in certain parables to have gone down, 122 4, XIX | should have taken place? For certain words, when savouring of 123 4, XX | earth's being purified at certain times by a deluge or a fire, 124 4, XX | that if we too maintain certain of these views, which are 125 4, XXII | the Christians, making certain additional statements to 126 4, XXIII | ourselves--say that "now, since certain amongst us commit sin, God 127 4, XXVI | have once admitted that certain men are worms and ants, 128 4, XXVIII | the allegations of Celsus. Certain other statements, in keeping 129 4, XXIX | perhaps has misunderstood certain of those whom he has termed " 130 4, XXIX | philosophers, on account of certain words uttered by some rash 131 4, XXIX | of the universe there are certain beings termed "thrones," 132 4, XXX | of truth, we testify of certain Greek philosophers that 133 4, XXXIII | lightly disposed of. It is certain, however, that the Jews 134 4, XXXIV | obscurely at their possession of certain great and marvellous qualities, 135 4, XXXIV | employed against demons and certain wicked powers. And we learn 136 4, XXXV | dispute about them with certain others," whom he does not 137 4, XXXVI | Phrygians, who assert that certain individuals have existed 138 4, XXXVI | insipid stories, viz., that a certain man was formed by the hands 139 4, XXXVI | side, and that God issued certain commands, and that a serpent 140 4, XXXVI | commandments of God; thus relating certain old wives' fables, and most 141 4, XXXIX | his visit to Egypt with certain individuals who philosophized 142 4, XL | who had sinned), contain a certain secret and mystical doctrine ( 143 4, XLIV | from wise men, among whom a certain one said, when exhorting 144 4, LIV | paraphrase from the Timoeus, certain expressions occur, such 145 4, LIV | who made each thing with a certain object and for a certain 146 4, LIV | certain object and for a certain reason; or if he had failed 147 4, LVI | makes the soul arise from a certain bowl, and take refuge with 148 4, LIX | indeed, be absurd that certain stones and buildings should 149 4, LX | to have been created for certain purposes, it is clear that 150 4, LXI | and was produced from a certain bowl), let Celsus show that 151 4, LXIV | although the nature of a certain individual is one and the 152 4, LXVI | if he were able to tell certain secrets regarding the origin 153 4, LXVI | one of our prophets, it is certain that "out of the mouth of 154 4, LXX | evil, it is by no means certain that it is so; for you do 155 4, LXX | assertion is made with a certain degree of caution; and it 156 4, LXX | a man who had committed certain crimes, and on account of 157 4, LXX | evil, it is by no means certain that it is so, for you do 158 4, LXXV | of Providence, but that a certain fortuitous concurrence of 159 4, LXXVII | undoubted, that not only have certain of the Jews and Christians 160 4, LXXXI | termed, and which exemplify certain virtuous tendencies and 161 4, LXXXIV | and some common ideas on certain general subjects, and a 162 4, LXXXV | fancy, in conjunction with a certain natural apparatus? But it 163 4, LXXXVI | greatness, he declares that "in certain individuals among the irrational 164 4, LXXXVI | also with the virtues of certain stones which help to preserve 165 4, LXXXVII | nature of each animal towards certain kinds of help, that they 166 4, LXXXVIII| mortal creatures, but that certain of the irrational animals 167 4, LXXXVIII| discovered or learned from certain demons some things about 168 4, LXXXVIII| other animals, by which certain prophetic intimations are 169 4, LXXXVIII| maintain that it is from certain demons or gods of divination 170 4, LXXXIX | they hold among themselves certain sacred assemblies. But now, 171 4, XCII | opinion, however, it is certain wicked demons, and, so to 172 4, XCIII | would seem to possess a certain affinity with a certain 173 4, XCIII | certain affinity with a certain species of animal. And as 174 4, XCVI | professional skill foreknow certain things, although their character 175 4, XCVII | may believe, however, that certain individuals do learn from 176 5, II | earth). But if you mean that certain angels did so, then what 177 5, II | would not be gods, but only certain demons, much inferior to 178 5, VIII | that people on account of certain sins, these sins (of idol-worship) 179 5, IX | in consequence of which certain phantoms appear, in obedience 180 5, XV | conflagration of the world, held by certain of the Greeks who have treated 181 5, XV | not perceiving that, as certain Greeks were of opinion ( 182 5, XXI | For as the planets, after certain definite cycles, assume 183 5, XXIII | there arises a stalk, so a certain power is implanted in the 184 5, XXIII | unchangeableness of things after a certain cycle, assert that the body, 185 5, XXIII | understood as "nature," there are certain things which are beyond 186 5, XXV | were thus distributed among certain governing powers, and in 187 5, XXVI | and were distributed among certain governing powers, and in 188 5, XXVI | people and their country to a certain spirit or spirits? And was 189 5, XXVII | being distributed among certain governing powers, are administered 190 5, XXVII | sacrifice to Diana, or among certain of the Libyan tribes regarding 191 5, XXVII | its own nature, but by a certain (external) arrangement and 192 5, XXVII | is an act of piety among certain tribes to worship a crocodile, 193 5, XXVIII | guilty of impiety among certain nations was not really so, 194 5, XXIX | in Grecian history, when certain of those who are considered 195 5, XXIX | represented as acknowledging that certain places here are preferred 196 5, XXXI | applied, and that after certain intervals these persons 197 5, XXXII | and being allotted among certain governing powers, were administered 198 5, XXXIV | and this is mentioned in a certain passage by Herodotus. For 199 5, XXXV | their country's laws, or certain parts of the body, as the 200 5, XXXVI | irrational animals, contains certain truths of nature. Celsus, 201 5, XXXVIII | in public, agreeably to certain juggling tricks performed 202 5, XLIV | the Jews with the laws of certain nations, let us proceed 203 5, XLIV | as we indeed know that certain beings of a class inferior 204 5, XLV | when those names which in a certain language were possessed 205 5, XLV | called from his birth by a certain appellation in the Greek 206 5, XLV | Jacob," he would produce certain effects, either owing to 207 5, XLVI | used in all probability in certain Egyptian incantations in 208 5, XLVIII | known the story about a certain angel having power before 209 5, XLIX | distinctions were signs of certain things until the advent 210 5, L | they refused, on account of certain covenants and oaths, to 211 5, LIV | assert that before him certain beings came from the Creator 212 5, LIV | became the founder of a certain sect, and who treated the 213 5, LIX | following assertion: "It is certain, indeed, that the members 214 5, LIX | importance, he recklessly adds certain statements, such as the 215 5, LXI | is a third class who call certain persons "carnal," and others " 216 5, LXI | against such as hold that certain natures are saved, and that 217 5, LXI | multitude?" He adds, also, that certain of the Christians are believers 218 5, LXII | knows of the existence of certain Simonians who worship Helene, 219 5, LXII | regarding whom they relate certain marvellous stories, saying 220 5, LXII | Celsus knows, moreover, certain Marcellians, so called from 221 5, LXIII | these matters, to say with a certain degree of truth, that there 222 5, LXIII | of truth, that there are certain others who have wickedly 223 5, LXIV | that Celsus has said that "certain among the Christians are 224 5, LXV | statement. For there are certain heretical sects which do 225 5, LXV | following." And then, to certain expressions which are continually 226 5, LXV | Christianity, he opposes certain others from the writings 227 6, II | the human heart, unless a certain power be imparted to the 228 6, II | granted with respect to certain points, that the same doctrines 229 6, V | them by the oil, which in a certain parable is said to have 230 6, VI | thunders instructing him on certain matters, and forbidding 231 6, VIII | some venerable doctrines, certain things are true." "Yet although 232 6, IX | already done for there is a certain 'real' cause, which proves 233 6, XIX | next place alleges, that "certain Christians, having misunderstood 234 6, XIX | that Plato learned from certain Hebrews the words quoted 235 6, XXII | against us, quotes also certain Persian mysteries, where 236 6, XXIII | distinguish in the encampments certain things relating to the numbers 237 6, XXV | valley of Ennom, we find a certain confirmation of what is 238 6, XXVI | of wickedness, which in a certain place is figuratively termed " 239 6, XXVII | diagram, he brings forward certain monstrous statements, in 240 6, XXIX | means, as you say, of a certain allegorical and typical 241 6, XXXI | possessed the knowledge of certain secret rites), but are not 242 6, XXXIII | fables, to the effect that "certain persons return to the shapes 243 6, XXXV | circumcision performed there, in a certain place set apart for purification. 244 6, XXXV | the name of Prunicos to a certain kind of wisdom, of which 245 6, XXXVIII | common with it, to introduce certain other charges, which he 246 6, XXXVIII | that are above the heavens--certain inscriptions of which they 247 6, XL | has seen in the hands of certain presbyters belonging to 248 6, XLI | mentioned Euphrates and a certain Epicurean. Now on the other 249 6, XLII | us from another quarter: "Certain most impious errors," he 250 6, XLII | ancients allude obscurely to a certain war among the gods, Heraclitus 251 6, XLV | resemble one another. It is certain, then, that there will be 252 6, XLV | describing, though with a certain reserve, both the manner, 253 6, LII | nor do we assert that certain wicked devices directed 254 6, LII | something clever against certain parties: "Why, when he lent ( 255 6, LV | sacred Scriptures, in a certain passage, this statement 256 6, LV | created by God will quote certain expressions of Scripture ( 257 6, LVI | means the conversion of certain individuals might be effected. 258 6, LVIII | purification of the earth, as certain among the Greek philosophers 259 6, LX | creation of the world over certain days, before days existed: 260 6, LXIV | thou here by Me." And if certain expressions indicate a kind 261 6, LXVI | introduces, as it were, a certain person, who, after hearing 262 6, LXXV | stated, nor is there any certain evidence that he was "little." 263 6, LXXVIII | LXXVIII.~Celsus next makes certain observations of the following 264 7, VI | reading in the book of a certain Pythagorean, when writing 265 7, VI | proofs that Homer knew of certain evil demons who delight 266 7, X | in this he is not unlike certain persons, who said to a man 267 7, XV | that which you know is certain; therefore you are dead. 268 7, XIX | meaning than this, then it is certain that the people would have 269 7, XXIV | imprecating upon himself certain punishments for the commission 270 7, XXIV | punishments for the commission of certain sins, includes among the 271 7, XXVIII | has been borrowed from certain ancient writers whom he 272 7, XXXVII | God is invisible, and that certain of His works are invisible, 273 7, XXXVIII | are employed. And it is certain that a man--I mean a soul 274 7, XXXVIII | God himself teaches. It is certain also that a Christian will 275 7, XLIV | combining or separating certain things after the methods 276 7, XLIV | coming from above, with a certain divine inspiration. Indeed, 277 7, LI | things and the clear and certain teaching of those who say 278 7, LXII | dedicated to the honour of certain beings. But they will hold 279 7, LXIV | belief that the demons choose certain forms and places, whether 280 7, LXIV | detained there by virtue of certain charms, or because for some 281 7, LXVII | dedicated to the honour of certain beings; but they will hold 282 7, LXIX | them by charms to prevent certain things, or for many other 283 7, LXX | appointed wicked demons for certain employments, in the same 284 8, XIV | Celsus has heard something of certain persons holding that the 285 8, XXI | events, or to set forth certain qualities of water or earth, 286 8, XXII | are accustomed to observe certain days, as for example the 287 8, XXIV | if they are demons, it is certain that they too are God's 288 8, XXVIII | the air they breathe, from certain demons, to whom have been 289 8, XXVIII | speaks of as abstaining from certain victims, in accordance with 290 8, XXXI | the agency and control of certain beings whom we may call 291 8, XXXI | executioners receive power at certain times to carry out the divine 292 8, XXXII | that divine justice employs certain evil angels to inflict calamities 293 8, XXXII | the paths which lead to certain death. "For the judgments 294 8, XXXVI | who offend them;" and if certain demons, whom Celsus had 295 8, XXXVI | although if, in ignorance of certain things, they have come under 296 8, XXXVIII | they have suffered the most certain injury. For what greater 297 8, XLI | he who sent his Son with certain instructions for mankind, 298 8, XLI | worship them. Moreover, if certain demons reside in certain 299 8, XLI | certain demons reside in certain images, and one of them 300 8, XLVII | Greeks were performed by certain demons; those among the 301 8, LIII | the soul is oppressed by certain passions until it is purged 302 8, LIII | that they are entrusted to certain beings as keepers of this 303 8, LIV | that men are entrusted to certain beings who are the keepers 304 8, LVIII | committed to the care of a certain demon. The body of man is 305 8, LXIX | His promises to depend on certain conditions,--namely, that 306 8, LXXIII | those who are priests at certain shrines, and those who attend 307 8, LXXIII | and those who attend on certain gods, as you account them,
