  2        1, Pref   |         better refutation than any answer to the false testimony,
  3        1, Pref   |          and the doctrine a better answer than any writing, seeing
  4        1, Pref   |            And that He returned no answer when falsely accused, the
  5        1, Pref   |       things, and makes no audible answer, but places His defence
  6        1, Pref   |     ability, to suggest, by way of answer to each of the statements
  7        1, Pref   |      arguments written in books in answer to the charges of Celsus
  8        1, Pref   |      injunction, and to furnish an answer to the treatise which you
  9        1, Pref   |           apology for beginning my answer to Celsus on one plan, and
 10        1, Pref   |           work of Celsus, needs no answer to it at all, but who despises
 11        1, II     |           nations. Now this is our answer to his allegations, and
 12        1, III    |        other philosophers. But our answer to this is, that in the
 13        1, IX     |        thing!" To which we have to answer, that if it were possible
 14        1, XII    |      express words, "If they would answer me, not as if I were asking
 15        1, XIII   |   foolishness is good," we have to answer that he slanders the Gospel,
 16        1, XVII   |        would not allow Socrates to answer regarding justice, as he
 17        1, XXI    |   reputation of divinity." Now, in answer to this we have to say,
 18        1, XXIV   |     Indians or Egyptians," Now, in answer to this, we have to remark
 19        1, XXXVII |     similar kind. But as a further answer to the Greeks, who do not
 20        1, XXXVII |     employing Grecian histories to answer Greeks, with the view of
 21        1, XXXVII |         and Auge, and Antiope, our answer is, that such language becomes
 22        1, XLI    |          them, we have resolved to answer each one of them separately
 23        1, XLIV   |         And with these arguments I answer the Jew, not disbelieving,
 24        1, LVI    |   perplexed about it, gave such an answer as was in keeping with his
 25        1, LVIII  |          east. Let us see now what answer we have to make to these
 26        1, LIX    |          we have to say, partly in answer to the Greeks, and partly
 27        1, LXII   |            I assert, therefore, in answer to such statements as the
 28        1, LXIX   |          belonged to God." Now, in answer to this, we have to say
 29        2, I      |           I.~THE first book of our answer to the treatise of Celsus,
 30        2, II     |         ignorance; for he said, in answer to the divine command, "
 31        2, VIII   |            reasonable to offer any answer. It is as if some one were
 32        2, VIII   |       others?" To which we have to answer, that on account of their
 33        2, XIII   |      because of their religion. In answer to whom we shall state that
 34        2, XX     |          Now, since you wish me to answer even those charges of Celsus
 35        2, XX     |            in the prophecy. And in answer to the Greeks we shall quote
 36        2, XXVI   |            to your inventions." In answer to which we have to say,
 37        2, XXVII  |         that they might be able to answer objections. Now I know of
 38        2, XXX    |        plausible, might be able to answer and confute his arguments.
 39        2, XXXIII |           source can we furnish an answer than from the Gospel narratives,
 40        2, XXXIII |         the divinity of Jesus, our answer to him is: "Sir, either
 41        2, XXXV   |                       XXXV.~But in answer to this objection, "If not
 42        2, XXXV   |            For as the Greeks would answer such objections, so would
 43        2, XXXVII |        accepted as the more common answer to the objection. For in
 44        2, XXXVIII|       despise punishment." Now, in answer to this, we say that we
 45        2, XLVII  |           his own as if it were an answer to one of his questions,
 46        2, XLVII  |           of God?" For he makes us answer that "we were won over to
 47        2, LI     |           we might further say, in answer to the calumnies of Celsus,
 48        2, LV     |        Jesus, defend yourself, and answer the Egyptian and the Greek
 49        2, LXIII  |           this nature, composed in answer to a work directed against
 50        2, LXXV   |        long looking for him?" what answer friends, would you have
 51        2, LXXVI  |         you are satisfied with the answer, which explains that the
 52        2, LXXVII |        says so. We shall give this answer, then, to him who has told
 53        2, LXXVII |          and believe upon him?" we answer: Where is He now who spoke
 54        2, LXXVIII|            To which we immediately answer, that He did not come with
 55        2, LXXVIII|           able more effectually to answer it by remarking, that the
 56        2, LXXVIII|   terminate this second book of my answer to his treatise. But if
 57        3, I      |           IN the first book of our answer to the work of Celsus, who
 58        3, VIII   |          point. Such, then, is our answer to the assertions of Celsus, "
 59        3, XIV    |           their faith." To this we answer, that our union does thus
 60        3, XXI    |            is sufficient by way of answer to the unphilosophic sneers
 61        3, XXII   |   allegations we are ready with an answer. Let us, accordingly, to
 62        3, XXVI   |  accordingly, having received this answer, fulfilled the injunctions.
 63        3, XXVII  |                     XXVII.~Now, in answer to this account of Aristeas,
 64        3, XXVIII |             take place? You cannot answer. But we, when we relate
 65        3, XXXII  |          him as a god," we have to answer that probably certain wicked
 66        3, XXXIII |            we ought to know how to answer every man;" nay, also of
 67        3, XXXIII |            ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh
 68        3, XXXIII |   Cleomedes, we will decide on the answer which we ought to give;
 69        3, XXXV   |        XXXV.~But I should like, in answer to him who for some unknown
 70        3, XXXV   |            reach of man? For if he answer that there is nothing either
 71        3, XLI    |     superfluous to say any more in answer to this, as a great deal
 72        3, XLII   |      corruptibility, we can say in answer, that if it is possible
 73        3, XLII   |          he had a suspicion of the answer which we would return, he
 74        3, XLV    |          the king which he did not answer her. And the queen of Sheba
 75        3, XLVIII |       embraces the Gospel. Now, in answer to such an one, we would
 76        3, LIV    |            bears on the point), in answer to the statement of Celsus:
 77        3, LIV    |      remarks, then, may suffice in answer to what are slanders rather
 78        3, LVIII  |          anything that is good. In answer to which, we would say,
 79        3, LIX    |      assembly of robbers?" Now, in answer to such statements, we say
 80        3, LXI    |       himself by proclamation?" we answer such a question by saying
 81        3, LXIX   |          remarks may suffice as an answer to the assertion that "entirely
 82        3, LXXII  |      sophistical opinions wise, we answer that in conformity with
 83        3, LXXIV  |       after the unintelligent." In answer we ask, Whom do you mean
 84        3, LXXIV  |            intellectually, I shall answer that I endeavour to improve
 85        3, LXXV   |             He indeed will make no answer, because he cannot name
 86        3, LXXVIII|            be better for them." In answer to which, it might be said
 87        3, LXXIX  |            superstitious, we shall answer him by saying that, as a
 88        4, I      |           occurred to us by way of answer to the treatise of Celsus,
 89        4, II     |       whereas now, being unable to answer the prophecies relating
 90        4, III    |            a few remarks by way of answer to the question of Celsus,
 91        4, III    |         here returns to himself an answer which would have been given
 92        4, III    |             Then, as if we were to answer that He does know all things,
 93        4, VI     |            on the part of God." We answer, then, that God, not being
 94        4, VII    |            so before?" To which we answer, that there never was a
 95        4, XI     |           like a torturer." Now in answer to this we say, that I do
 96        4, XIII   |          remarks are sufficient in answer to the assertion, "that
 97        4, XIV    |     appears to me that the fitting answer has been returned to these
 98        4, XVI    |            let these remarks be an answer to the suppositions of Celsus,
 99        4, XVIII  |           him into error." Now the answer to these statements might
100        4, XIX    |          unnecessary and absurd to answer a charge which is advanced
101        4, XIX    |            friend of God." For the answer is, that such arrangements
102        4, XXIV   |            mentioned? And whatever answer you may return to our question,
103        4, XXIV   |            you mean by littleness? Answer me, good sirs. If you refer
104        4, XXVIII |   associates for ever," we have to answer that he attributes to us
105        4, XXVIII |             And this, then, is our answer to the allegations of Celsus.
106        4, XXXI   |            by the Greeks, we would answer, that if one will examine
107        4, XXXII  |       digression. For we wished to answer the assertion of Celsus
108        4, XXXII  |          of note." And further, in answer to the statement that "they
109        4, XXXIII |           because he was unable to answer the argument which might
110        4, XXXIV  |          to see them? And when, in answer to our inquiry, no one can
111        4, XL     |     Himself had formed," we say in answer that the objection is much
112        4, LIV    |          would have discovered the answer which he ought to return
113        4, LVI    |         alike,"--we have to say in answer to this argument of his,
114        4, LX     |        amid recurring changes." In answer to this it is evident from
115        4, LXI    |       matter is immortal." Now, in answer to this it may be said,
116        4, LXI    |            work of God? Let Celsus answer this! But if, perverting
117        4, LXVII  |          say further to Celsus, in answer to such a view, that "if
118        4, LXVIII |           But the main argument in answer to the statements of Celsus
119        4, LXXVI  |            the above, then, be our answer to the assertions of Celsus,
120        4, LXXIX  |       LXXIX.~In the next place, in answer to the human race, who perceive
121        4, LXXXIV |            a place is," we have to answer, that the greater the laudations
122        4, XC     |         out of a larger number, in answer to these statements of Celsus,
123        5, V      |    Scriptures, he gives himself an answer as if it came from us, saying
124        5, X      |      visible" divinities, we shall answer that the law of Moses knows
125        5, XIV    |         Being unable to return any answer, they betake themselves
126        5, XVI    | intelligent hearers how we have to answer the following: "All the
127        5, XVI    |         His image. And this is our answer to the statement, "All the
128        5, XXIV   |       spirit of contention that we answer the assertions of Celsus;
129        5, XXVI   |      observe that, whatever be his answer, he is in a strait. But
130        5, XXVIII |          remarks as the above, the answer returned would be, that
131        5, XXXIII |        which we have made not only answer the statements of Celsus
132        5, XXXIII |         subjoining the appropriate answer.~
133        5, XXXIV  |            deceased fathers? their answer was, that for no consideration
134        5, LIII   |        remarks might suffice as an answer to the charges of Celsus,
135        5, LIV    |         next place, he proceeds to answer himself as he thinks fit
136        5, LX     |    ourselves with precision in our answer to Celsus, who thinks that
137        5, LXIII  |           perfect hatred." Now, in answer to this, we have already
138        6, I      |          my reverend Ambrosius, to answer in it those accusations
139        6, VII    |         the method of question and answer sheds light on the thoughts
140        6, VIII   |        conversed with me." Now, in answer to this we have to say,
141        6, X      |           Celsus, one might say in answer to such assertions, that
142        6, X      |           to know "how we ought to answer every man." And there are
143        6, X      |           by means of question and answer. Nor do we at all say, as
144        6, XI     |          shall join?" Now we shall answer this objection in the following
145        6, XXVII  |           the form of question and answer, regarding what is called
146        6, XLI    |         which we have to notice in answer to Celsus, we shall say
147        6, XLIX   |         should have endeavoured to answer them; but it does not appear
148        6, XLIX   |            upon to demonstrate, in answer to his mere assertion, that
149        6, XLIX   |         proofs, or endeavouring to answer our arguments; for he had
150        6, LI     |           the commencement of this answer to Celsus, when we discussed
151        6, LIV    |            good and evil, and what answer we are to return to the
152        6, LVI    |       doctrine. This, then, is our answer to the question, "How is
153        6, LVII   |          providence. Any one might answer the charge that God is incapable
154        6, LVIII  |         children in it, we have to answer that, as the soul of man
155        6, LIX    |         seeing clearly enough, the answer which might be returned
156        6, LXVI   |        smitten with blindness." In answer to this, we would say that
157        6, LXVI   |            of the divine Word, the answer, "How shall I know God?"
158        6, LXVII  |           hearing his words, would answer, seeing that his words are
159        6, LXVIII |          be saved by Him, we would answer that the Word of God, which
160        6, LXVIII |         ignorance in the imaginary answer to his question which he
161        6, LXVIII |          be saved by Him?" for our answer is what we have just stated.~
162        6, LXIX   |          however, asserts that the answer which we give is based upon
163        6, LXIX   |    admitting that he describes our answer in the following terms: "
164        6, LXX    |            returned to himself the answer which he represents as coming
165        6, LXXII  |          and he thinks that he can answer us by saying that there "
166        6, LXXII  |        foolish, however, for us to answer statements as ours which
167        6, LXXIV  |            not necessary for us to answer or refute. Again, after
168        6, LXXIV  |           and play the buffoon, we answer that it is because he has
169        6, LXXIX  |            his garment. This is my answer to the irreverent language
170        6, LXXXI  |         which he thinks furnish an answer to our statement, that everything
171        7, II     |         have no ground on which to answer his objections; while we
172        7, II     |          long before.'" To this we answer, that the arguments recently
173        7, II     |      notions, we could furnish the answer ourselves, and show Celsus
174        7, VI     |  influenced the demons to grant an answer to the wishes of their votaries,
175        7, VI     |       bulls and goats, obtained an answer to his prayers for his daughter
176        7, VI     |           who offer them, grant in answer to their prayers the destruction
177        7, XII    |        prophets can give no proper answer in regard to statements
178        7, XII    |       impure; and assuming that no answer can be given, he proceeds
179        7, XII    |            ready always to give an answer to every one that asketh
180        7, XV     |           such things. To this our answer is that the supposition
181        7, XXVIII |           death;" and he makes our answer to be, "to another land
182        7, XXXII  |      referring to this subject, in answer to one who assails the doctrine
183        7, XXXVI  |       which we have endeavoured to answer as we could, he goes on
184        7, XXXVIII|           simply "the soul"--would answer, not as Celsus makes us
185        7, XXXVIII|             not as Celsus makes us answer, but as the man of God himself
186        7, XLIII  |           sense, is plain from the answer which He gave to Philip, "
187        7, LIX    |            said by the Greeks, our answer is, that if the doctrine
188        7, LXIII  |                 LXIII.~To this our answer is, that if the Scythians,
189        7, LXVI   |          man the image of God; our answer is the same as has been
190        7, LXVIII |       useless repetition for us to answer these words of Celsus: "
191        7, LXX    |           which we have written in answer to the treatise of Celsus,
192        8, I      |          Celsus, and afterwards to answer it.~
193        8, II     |          on demons we gave such an answer as seemed to us in accordance
194        8, XV     |            gone so far on the way? Answer: Thou art mistaken, for
