1 1, Pref | statements and to exhibit the truth, we have deemed it right 2 1, Pref | which represent falsehood as truth, says with regard to such: " 3 1, I | for the sake of the law of truth, which the Scythians would 4 1, I | like-minded with himself; so, if truth is to decide, the laws of 5 1, I | done for the sake of the truth. For as those persons would 6 1, II | practice establish their truth, and supply whatever seemed 7 1, II | demonstration, and thus confirm the truth of Christianity. We have 8 1, IV | written upon his heart,"--a truth obscurely alluded to by 9 1, VIII | who bear witness to the truth of Christianity by their 10 1, XII | for we have a regard for truth. Not one of us will assert, " 11 1, XIV | these works in the spirit of truth, why should we distrust 12 1, XV | what had the appearance of truth; for, in the first hook 13 1, XVI | to be not from a love of truth, but from a spirit of hatred, 14 1, XXVI | Him, he would show with truth how the Jews fell into error. 15 1, XXXI | wrought in their minds of its truth, not only teaching them 16 1, XXXIII | sin? And if there be any truth in the doctrine of the physiognomists, 17 1, XLV | believed as speaking the truth, although the Egyptians 18 1, XLV | from that very source the truth of the statement regarding 19 1, LVI | and reign, because of Thy truth, and meekness, and righteousness; 20 1, LVII | since it is in the spirit of truth that we examine each passage, 21 1, LXII | best of our power see what truth there is in such a statement. 22 1, LXII | believes that they speak the truth, inasmuch as it is their 23 1, LXII | to death on behalf of the truth; while some are altogether 24 1, LXIII | one who sees the spirit of truth by which the writers are 25 1, LXIV | that even though not the truth, it has at all events been 26 1, LXVI | I am the way, and the truth, and the life," and employs 27 1, LXVI | man that hath told you the truth," conclude that He was a 28 1, LXXI | bestow the gift of that truth which destroys all falsehood, 29 1, LXXI | prayer, "Cut them off in thy truth," we shall begin, in what 30 2, II | Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide 31 2, II | will guide you into all the truth: for He shall not speak 32 2, II | doctrine, that is, by the truth, in a manner to convince 33 2, II | rites were typical, and the truth was that which was to be 34 2, II | come who is the Spirit of truth, He will lead you into all 35 2, II | will lead you into all the truth;" as if He had said, into 36 2, II | He had said, into all the truth about those things which, 37 2, II | of Jesus, the Spirit of truth came to Peter, saying to 38 2, II | that vision, the Spirit of truth, which conducted Peter into 39 2, II | conducted Peter into all the truth, told him the many things 40 2, III | everything here in the spirit of truth, and to accept whatever 41 2, IV | an exact knowledge of the truth. But what he advances afterwards 42 2, V | now, we may also see of a truth that all the doctrines of 43 2, V | of the Christians are the truth, having power to raise and 44 2, VII | false than another, so one truth is not less or more true 45 2, IX | I am the way, and the truth, and the life;" and these, " 46 2, IX | the living Logos and the Truth? And that the Gospels do 47 2, IX | I am the way, and the truth, and the life," to have 48 2, X | and the Wisdom, and the Truth. And who can say that "Jesus 49 2, X | Christians? and these the truth, which proceed from those 50 2, X | were fully persuaded of the truth of what they wrote, seeing 51 2, XIII | hearer with a feeling of its truth, and furnish a clear ground 52 2, XIII | happened to Him; but the truth of this statement we shall 53 2, XIII | but in reality, as the truth makes dear, on account of 54 2, XV | to observe, the love of truth which actuated the writers, 55 2, XV | they had not been lovers of truth, but, as Celsus supposes, 56 2, XIX | shown to be true; for the truth regarding future events 57 2, XX | and unholy men. Now, of a truth, he who shared a man's table 58 2, XX | conceding for the present its truth, since it does not affect 59 2, XXIV | not accepting the love of truth which actuates the writers 60 2, XXV | I am the way, and the truth, and the life," and such 61 2, XXV | man that hath told you the truth which I have heard of the 62 2, XXVI | statements were false. Of a truth, therefore, they were not 63 2, XXXIV | Admire rather their love of truth, and that of the Being who 64 2, XXXVI | knoweth that he saith the truth." Now, in other dead bodies 65 2, XLIV | disciples and witnesses to the truth, and suffers the same condemnation 66 2, XLVI | said, in consistency with truth, that if, after His death, 67 2, XLIX | as follows: "O light and truth! he distinctly declares, 68 2, XLIX | compelled by the force of truth, he at the same time not 69 2, L | received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 70 2, L | damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 71 2, LI | appearance of establishing the truth, although really undermining 72 2, LI | undermining it, while denying that truth had anywhere a home among 73 2, LIII | Christ, "But, O light and truth! Jesus with his own voice 74 2, LIII | Moses, "But, O light and truth!

For each one of them can 78 2, LXIX | His crucifixion contains a truth, represented in the words, " 79 2, LXXI | worship Him in spirit and in truth." But the purposes for which 80 2, LXXVII | thoroughly persuaded them of its truth, that they show to all men 81 2, LXXVIII | of such a nature, as the truth itself proves, and reason 82 3, II | with no persuasion of the truth in their minds, moving them 83 3, XII | makes a profession of the truth, and promises a knowledge 84 3, XVI | probable reason. And yet--for truth is precious--Celsus says, 85 3, XVI | correctly to ascertain the truth.~ 86 3, XXII | appeared to him to be the truth, he would not have feigner 87 3, XXVI | vehemently disputed the truth of the report; but the relations 88 3, XXVII | signifying his own assent to its truth, it is in a different way 89 3, XXVII | appear to you to speak the truth, while they who have made 90 3, XXX | desire to ascertain the truth, he will be filled with 91 3, XXXVI | investigate, in a spirit of truth and impartiality, the stories 92 3, XXXVII | those who are opposed to the truth, but have been deceived; 93 3, XXXVII | be in possession of the truth, who have yet either deceived 94 3, XXXIX | doctrine of Jesus;" for of a truth it is faith which does produce 95 3, XLI | very Wisdom, and the very Truth; and with respect to His 96 3, XLVII | But Paul, as a lover of truth, says of certain wise men 97 3, XLIX | better able to arrive at the truth?" Truly it is no evil to 98 3, LVII | would not have spoken the truth, and yet your charge would 99 3, LIX | heavier charge than what the truth compels me, any one may 100 3, LXII | animated with a love of truth,--remarks, "Why was he not 101 3, LXIII | compassion than by a regard to truth; whereas God does not decide 102 3, LXIII | decide in accordance with truth, but in accordance with 103 3, LXIII | for, as if he admitted its truth, he remarks, "This is indeed 104 3, LXVII | then does not speak the truth when he says "that sinners 105 3, LXXII | alone is permanent, and the truth which is derived from wisdom. 106 3, LXXIX | utility, and is agreeable to truth, and is stated in obscure 107 4, I | reproaches uttered against the truth by this treatise of Celsus, 108 4, II | from assenting to their truth, and from believing, on 109 4, III | there in assenting to the truth? or how is the rejection 110 4, IV | pure ambassadors of the truth, and who produce a complete 111 4, X | that we do not speak the truth regarding the necessity 112 4, XIX | spoken in the spirit of truth. This, however, must be 113 4, XX | attend to the connection and truth of all our records, will 114 4, XXI | that they have spoken the truth concerning many things that 115 4, XXIV | superiority and inferiority, if truth is to be judge, are not 116 4, XXV | were entitled Concerning Truth, like that discourse of 117 4, XXV | are wicked, and who, in truth, are neither Christians 118 4, XXVII | Jews nor Christians. Of a truth, such evil practices do 119 4, XXIX | with the bright light of truth be reasonably likened to 120 4, XXX | the investigation of the truth, one might mockingly and 121 4, XXX | in the investigation of truth, to the wrigglings of worms 122 4, XXX | creatures; but in the spirit of truth, we testify of certain Greek 123 4, XXXI | them to have regard to the truth of each individual thing, 124 4, XXXVIII | their mysteries and the truth (which is concealed within 125 4, XLV | have recognised the love of truth displayed by the writers 126 4, LX | whether it is according to truth), it is one nature which 127 4, LXI | he will come to know (the truth)." Let us, then, who in 128 4, LXII | professing to include all truth in this one treatise, and 129 4, LXXXVIII| thing or the other, the truth of their assertions is established 130 4, XCIX | the Word, and Wisdom, and Truth, and Righteousness, and 131 5, I | tightly dividing the word of truth." And there is one thing 132 5, III | that you may maintain the truth of your own position; but 133 5, V | the Word, and Wisdom, and Truth, and everything else which 134 5, XIII | suggested by the light of truth.~ 135 5, XIX | in a way consistent with truth and God's glory, and so 136 5, XXIV | but it is in the spirit of truth that we investigate them, 137 5, XXXIII | pillar and ground of the truth." And we notice how it is 138 5, XXXIII | attainments in wisdom and truth; and all the nations come 139 5, XXXIV | method of worship. Of a truth, we shall find very great 140 5, XLII | occupied in investigating the truth, and desirous of making 141 5, LI | that in showing that the truth which is contained in the 142 5, LIV | as it is in the spirit of truth that we investigate all 143 5, LVII | having related with perfect truth what had happened to them. 144 5, LVII | individuals are speaking truth or falsehood. For those 145 5, LXII | have also, from love to the truth, investigated as far as 146 5, LXIII | with a certain degree of truth, that there are certain 147 6, I | of the ambassadors of the truth to confer benefits upon 148 6, II | should not merely convey the truth, but which should be fitted 149 6, III | worship in harmony with the truth, are liable to the punishments 150 6, III | unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because 151 6, III | and creeping things." The truth, then, is verily held (in 152 6, IV | found to have changed the truth of God into a lie, and to 153 6, V | blessed; and notice that the truth as it is contained in Plato 154 6, VI | not tiresome to repeat the truth regarding these illustrious 155 6, XVI | been imbued with a love of truth, he would have turned his 156 6, XVII | Logos, and His Wisdom and Truth.

The diagram was, however, 159 6, XXVI | and diagrams, as if the truth were represented by these; 160 6, XXXVII | belong to the Church. Of a truth, even a drunken old woman 161 6, XLII | tongue, Satan. Now, of a truth, such statements are altogether 162 6, XLII | as he remarks with more truth, of a man who is an impostor, 163 6, XLIV | who is righteousness, and truth, and wisdom. With more propriety, 164 6, XLVI | received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 165 6, XLVI | damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." 166 6, XLVII | Lord, Word, and Wisdom, and Truth, that "he who is joined 167 6, XLVII | Very Word, and Wisdom, and Truth, and Righteousness, in a 168 6, LXIII | God,--the very word and truth, and also the very wisdom, 169 6, LXV | the terms "to Him." Of a truth, God is of nothing. But 170 6, LXVI | I am the way, and the truth, and the life," and has 171 6, LXVII | passions from seeing the truth?

And by these words He 174 6, LXX | worship the Father, but "in truth," which "came by Jesus Christ," 175 6, LXXVII | Christianity in the spirit of truth, know the meaning of the 176 7, I | accuses, that He who is the truth of God would shed light 177 7, I | prayer, "Destroy them by Thy truth." For it is evidently the 178 7, I | reasonings opposed to the truth that God destroys by His 179 7, I | that God destroys by His truth; so that when these are 180 7, VI | or because of his love of truth and virtue. It is poor praise 181 7, VII | their firm adherence to truth, and their faithfulness 182 7, X | in their endeavours after truth and virtue might search 183 7, XI | those who are wise in the truth of Christ (and to all them 184 7, XIII | XIII.~And there is no truth in the statement of Celsus, 185 7, XIII | those who resist the word of truth do ever offer to Christ 186 7, XVI | hath spoken unto you the truth which I heard of God." And 187 7, XVI | said of Himself, "I am the truth," "I am the life," "I am 188 7, XVI | that He who died was "the truth," "the life," "the way," " 189 7, XVI | befall God the Word, the Truth, the Life, the Resurrection, 190 7, XXI | to teach him the word of truth. Thus, as it had been written, " 191 7, XXII | which are opposed to the truth. And in this way also the 192 7, XXII | solid strength of reason and truth, is the man who "dasheth 193 7, XXII | have proved traitors to the truth of God.~ 194 7, XXVII | worship Him in spirit and in truth."~ 195 7, XXIX | are above," had found a truth which formed no part of 196 7, XXXI | God that "His works are truth;" thus making a distinction 197 7, XXXII | of God; and how sublime a truth it is which teaches us that 198 7, XL | that which they think the truth.

Truth is the object of knowledge; 204 7, XLV | the object of knowledge; truth and error form opinion. 205 7, XLV | all things intelligible, truth itself and substance have 206 7, XLVI | sense; and they connect truth with the one, and avoid 207 7, XLVI | men, has "manifested" His truth, and "that which is known 208 7, XLVI | knowledge, and "holding the truth in unrighteousness," and 209 7, XLVII | because they "changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped 210 7, L | he boldly proclaims the truth, and says, "Our soul is 211 7, LI | received a knowledge of the truth and a notion of God at different 212 7, LII | when they can say in all truth and confidence: "I have 213 7, LIX | himself unable to dispute the truth of what we say, but avers 214 7, LIX | affect the value of the truth communicated.

These things were not the 231 8, XLIII | spoken something like the truth; for it is true that the 232 8, XLIV | overpowered by the martyrs for the truth, they are afraid to have 233 8, XLVII | nations are witnesses to their truth. But why may we not consider 234 8, XLVII | emboldened to preach Christian truth to men by anything else 235 8, XLVIII | equal assurance that the truth is on their side. But if 236 8, XLVIII | which side of the two the truth lies. Now I should say that 237 8, XLVIII | Now I should say that the truth lies with those who are 238 8, XLVIII | who are convinced of the truth of what they have heard. 239 8, XLVIII | induce those who heard the truth to strive with all their 240 8, LI | enforce by further reasons the truth that the unjust shall surely 241 8, LII | whole system of Christian truth; but when we meet with persons 242 8, LII | Christians to accept that truth. And we are thus anxious 243 8, LIII | philosophers as criteria of truth.~ 244 8, LX | as even the enemy of the truth of God confesses, how much 245 8, LXII | overcome by the spirit of truth.

Wherefore even Celsus spoke 247 8, LXIII | Wherefore even Celsus spoke the truth when he made the demons 248 8, LXIII | gets some glimpses of the truth. For again he adds: "We 249 8, LXVI | discards fables and seeks after truth.~ 250 8, LXXV | His Son the Word, Wisdom, Truth, and Righteousness, who 251 8, LXXVI | towards Him, and of that truth which leads men by sound 252 8, LXXVI | answer it as the Father of truth may give us ability, and 253 8, LXXVI | our approval of whatever truth it may contain.~GLORY BE
