  4        1, IX      |           opinions we should follow reason and a rational guide, since
  5        1, IX      |         either to give or receive a reason for their belief, keep repeating, "

 11        1, XIV     |         such opinions; but for some reason, unknown to me, he casts
 12        1, XX      |           God is in conformity with reason, and of a secret and mysterious
 13        1, XXIII   |           is composed of parts; and reason will not allow us to believe
 14        1, XXV     |            who, for some mysterious reason, refer the word Sabaoth,
 15        1, XXXII   |           Is it at all agreeable to reason, that he who dared to do
 16        1, XXXII   |             more in conformity with reason, that every soul, for certain
 17        1, XXXIII  |             monstrous body, so that reason cannot discharge its functions
 18        1, XLIV    |               will explain also the reason of the heavens opening,
 19        1, XLVI    |         disciples of Jesus for that reason committed the result to
 20        1, XLVII   |             more in accordance with reason to say that it happened

 22        1, LI      |           among the Jews; for which reason it is related that Herod,
 23        1, LII     |              This, therefore, was a reason why many of the Jews at
 24        1, LIII    |            of the people; for which reason also the whole nation are
 25        1, LX      |       sorceries, sought to know the reason of their failure, conjecturing
 26        1, LXVIII  |              how could any one with reason compare Him with the sect
 27        1, LXIX    |            natural death. For which reason, in addition to others,
 28        2, II      |           is not some well-grounded reason for such a statement as
 29        2, V       |          from heathenism. For which reason, now, we may also see of
 30        2, VIII    |           since we must add another reason, we shall remark that this
 31        2, XVII    |           him consistent with fight reason, that it was better for
 32        2, XLIV    |         such teaching, is with good reason compared by Celsus to the
 33        2, XLVI    |          how much more consonant to reason is it, that while He was
 34        2, L       |       perish." And in assigning the reason why the man of sin is permitted
 35        2, LX      |            not believe without good reason in the immortality, or at
 36        2, LXIII   |    knowledge), and that in them the reason would be explained why He

 41        3, VI      |            different from both? But reason seems to me to demonstrate
 42        3, XII     |           there are found, for this reason, numerous heresies confessedly
 43        3, XIV     |             based on no substantial reason. And yet rebellion is a

 47        3, XVI     |     Scripture, partly from probable reason. And yet--for truth is precious--

 58        3, XXXV    |          some such being; for which reason, too, he was able to demonstrate
 59        3, XXXVII  |            not being able to give a reason for their conduct, but sincerely
 60        3, XXXVIII |             more fully endowed with reason and to give their assent
 61        3, XXXVIII |          their assent on grounds of reason to the majority of human
 62        3, XLII    |         which are contrary to right reason, how could you any longer
 63        3, XLII    |        longer say, with any show of reason, that these men, on putting
 64        3, XLVI    |      miraculous powers, he for that reason places "workings of miracles"
 65        3, L       |            things contrary to right reason? Philosophers verily would

 74        3, LXV     |            of all contrary to fight reason? Sometimes, also, when very
 75        3, LXV     |        regulated according to right reason. And although Celsus observes
 76        3, LXVII   |          Yet, notwithstanding this, reason was powerful enough to effect
 77        3, LXX     |             he might with a show of reason have opposed this proposition,
 78        4, I       |            glory,--we must for that reason pray also to the Lord, who
 79        4, VIII    |           be necessary to state the reason why the birth of each man

 81        4, XIII    |       previously-laid foundation of reason, "wood, and hay, and stubble."

 85        4, XXV     |            comparison with God. For reason, having its beginning in
 86        4, XXV     |         having its beginning in the reason of God, cannot allow of
 87        4, XXV     |      dunghill. And if the nature of reason will not permit of such
 88        4, XXVI    |          who, in obedience to their reason, are able to ascend from
 89        4, XXIX    |             all things agreeably to reason, we may rise to a likeness

 91        4, XXIX    |             We who act according to reason," or rather, "We virtuous,
 92        4, XXIX    |      virtuous, who act according to reason." For, in our opinion, the

 95        4, LIV     |      demonstrate by some convincing reason the existence of these diversities

125        4, XCIX    |           in all respects. For this reason all things have been adjusted,
126        5, I       |          with our understanding and reason empty and devoid of divine
127        5, V       |           men, would be contrary to reason. But, conformably to our
128        5, X       |          not therefore consonant to reason that those who had been

156        5, LVII    |          Now it is opposed to sound reason to judge in this way whether
157        6, III     |           expressions. And for this reason it is that we maintain that
158        6, X       |    irrefutable position, subjoins a reason in explanation of this difficulty,

161        6, XII     |               Celsus says that "the reason of this has been stated
162        6, XII     |           stated long ago." And the reason he imagines to be, "our

176        7, V       |    separation from the body; and if reason supports the idea that pure
177        7, V       |             Are we not compelled by reason to set down as evil such
178        7, VII     |             by danger or death. For reason teaches that such ought
179        7, VII     |       Christ. We therefore for this reason set at nought the oracles
180        7, X       |         found it, might apply it as reason requires. But Celsus, ever

182        7, XII     |           in Scripture. There is no reason, then, for us to defend
183        7, XIII    |           suffer, and set forth the reason why He should suffer. God
184        7, XIV     |           not." But if he wished to reason justly and without evasion,
185        7, XVI     |            nature we must judge and reason in a way quite different

187        7, XXV     |        other also." But as there is reason to believe that Celsus produces
188        7, XXXVII  |    distinguish between "sense" and "reason," between "objects of sense"
189        7, XXXVII  |          sense" and "objects of the reason?" To argue in this way,
190        7, XXXVII  |             say, apprehended by the reason, can say, as if to justify
191        7, XLV     |            objects are known by the reason, visible objects by the
