 19        2, XX     |         what was in man, seeing his evil disposition, and foreseeing
 20        2, XXIX   |            men from the practice of evil to a life which is according
 21        2, XLI    |         himself to be pure from all evil." Let Celsus state from

 23        2, XLI    |            what is properly termed "evil," let him clearly prove
 24        2, XLI    |        clear that he would say that evil had happened also to Socrates,

 32        2, LI     |           conduct? What minister of evil demons, e.g., can do such
 33        2, LI     |         good, and who by help of an evil power, so that we may neither

 40        3, XXXII  |             by Him, might either be evil spoken of, as inventions
 41        3, XLIV   |           qualifications are deemed evil by us); but if there be
 42        3, XLIX   |        following: "For why is it an evil to have been educated, and
 43        3, XLIX   |          the truth?" Truly it is no evil to have been educated, for
 44        3, LIII   |            to discern both good and evil." Would then those who believe
 45        3, LIX    |             soul is conscious of no evil, and who has lived well
 46        3, LX     |            discern between good and evil," let him have no reluctance
 47        3, LX     |             soul is conscious of no evil come." But he who acts as

 54        3, LXX    |             not the will, to commit evil. We, on the contrary, maintain
 55        3, LXX    |              for the power of doing evil is contrary to His deity
 56        3, LXX    |        nature the ability not to do evil.~
 57        3, LXXII  |             is not the knowledge of evil, but the knowledge of evil,
 58        3, LXXII  |          evil, but the knowledge of evil, so to speak, is in those
 59        3, LXXV   |        assert that "knowledge is an evil;" nor are we mad enough
 60        3, LXXVI  |            from the intoxication of evil. No one, then, who is of
 61        4, III    |    themselves virtuous and perfect, evil being altogether non-existent?
 62        4, IV     |         power liberate all men from evil? We are not ashamed, however,
 63        4, XIII   |         thoroughly cleanse away the evil which is intermingled throughout
 64        4, XIV    |           and a change from good to evil, from virtue to vice, from
 65        4, XIV    |           nor a change from good to evil, nor from virtue to vice,
 66        4, XV     |            any change from "good to evil," for "He did no sin;" nor
 67        4, XV     |             he passes from "good to evil," or from "virtue to vice,"

 69        4, XXV    |     virtuous; and inferior, because evil dwells in it,--why should
 70        4, XXV    |         carried away by the tide of evil, is, in comparison with
 71        4, XXVII  |        Christians. Of a truth, such evil practices do not at all

 76        4, XXXIX  |           the knowledge of good and evil, and the other statements
 77        4, XL     |         fault with the existence of evil, which God has not been
 78        4, XLVII  |             failed to establish the evil character, as he regards
 79        4, L      |        distinguish between good and evil, and who continually utters
 80        4, LXII   |             regarding the nature of evil, which have been variously
 81        4, LXII   |           with water, contains less evil than it did before its purification.

 83        4, LXIII  |            evil, and asserting that evil, even in its own nature,
 84        4, LXIII  |      arguments of Celsus concerning evil confuted, by those philosophers
 85        4, LXIII  |            the subjects of good and evil, and who have proved also
 86        4, LXIII  |             to his work on Good and Evil. From this also it may be
 87        4, LXIV   |           greater or less spread of evil. And those who desire to
 88        4, LXV    |     although ignorance of God is an evil, and one of the greatest
 89        4, LXVI   |            Most High proceedeth not evil and good." But to maintain
 90        4, LXVI   |           which is the cause of the evil which arises in him, and
 91        4, LXVI   |          arises in him, and this is evil (in the abstract); while
 92        4, LXVI   |            else in our view that is evil. I am aware, however, that
 93        4, LXIX   |           be more nor less good and evil among mortals." This point
 94        4, LXIX   |        order to prevent the tide of evil from rising to a greater
 95        4, LXIX   |          after the disappearance of evil, it again comes into existence,

101        5, XV     |        matter proceeding from their evil nature; who need fire, I
102        5, XXXII  |        rescued us "from the present evil world," and "from the princes
103        5, XXXIX  |           have been taught to loath evil, and to turn away from wicked
104        5, XLIX   |  uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence;" and we use
105        5, LXII   |           the soul from all that is evil, and bring it back to the
106        6, VIII   | ill-disposed, and who wish to speak evil of what has happened to
107        6, XIII   |            to discern both good and evil." This opinion, moreover,
108        6, XV     |             it, would wish to speak evil of that humility which is
109        6, XXVIII |           the knowledge of good and evil." Now he ought to have known
110        6, XXXIX  |              or spells for averting evil, or (the making of) images,
111        6, XLI    |           delivereth them" from all evil; and the angels of the little
112        6, XLIII  |         might be learned concerning evil, as to the nature of its
113        6, XLIV   |            concerning the origin of evil, and the manner of its dissolution,
114        6, XLV    |             latter are some in whom evil is deeply engrained, and
115        6, XLV    |            in the next place, since evil is specially characterized
116        6, XLV    |         miracles found to accompany evil, through the co-operation

118        6, LIII   |          how is it that God created evil? And how is it that he cannot
119        6, LIII   |        remarks he makes clear what "evil" is; and although there
120        6, LIII   |           to the nature of good and evil, he hastily concludes, as
121        6, LIII   |       judgment God is the author of evil. Let it be, however, regarding
122        6, LIII   |           it be, however, regarding evil as it may--whether created
123        6, LIII   |       regarding God's authorship of evil, which he thinks follows
124        6, LIII   |          how is it that God created evil? and how is it that He cannot
125        6, LIV    |           to say regarding good and evil, and what answer we are
126        6, LIV    |          How is it that God created evil?" and, "How is He incapable
127        6, LIV    |            the reverse of these are evil. We shall be satisfied with
128        6, LIV    |          good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking
129        6, LIV    |         speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good." Now, the
130        6, LIV    |         injunctions to "depart from evil, and to do good," do not
131        6, LIV    |             away from this "present evil world," and from those evil
132        6, LIV    |         evil world," and from those evil days concerning which Paul
133        6, LIV    |          time, because the days are evil."~
134        6, LV     |             the reverse are termed "evil." It is in this sense that
135        6, LV     |           shall we not also receive evil!" Since, then, there is
136        6, LV     |            I make peace, and create evil;" and again another, where
137        6, LV     |             it is said of Him that "evil came down from the LORD
138        6, LV     |      Scripture means by "good" and "evil,"--it is probable that Celsus,
139        6, LV     |          How is it that God created evil?" or, perhaps, having heard
140        6, LV     |          other hand, maintain that "evil," or "wickedness," and the
141        6, LV     |        created that which is really evil, how was it possible that
142        6, LV     |            to be punished for their evil deeds in proportion to the
143        6, LVI    |          who make peace, and create evil;" for He calls into existence "
144        6, LVI    |          How is it that God created evil?"~
145        6, LVIII  |           carefully meditated to do evil continually, was grieved
146        6, LXVI   |             fix their gaze upon the evil handiwork of painters, and
147        6, LXXVIII|          rescue the human race from evil, why did He send this Spirit
148        7, V      |            by reason to set down as evil such spirits as employ the
149        7, VI     |          that Homer knew of certain evil demons who delight in the
150        7, XII    |           from there being anything evil, shameful, or impure in
151        7, XII    |           prophets there is nothing evil, shameful, impure, or abominable.~
152        7, XIII   |           favours the commission of evil; for whatever he may say,
153        7, XIII   |            represented as favouring evil, or as doing and enduring
154        7, XIII   |            and the vinegar of their evil inclinations; but though
155        7, XIV    |            of God. In that which is evil and base, although it seemed
156        7, XVII   |         overthrow the power of that evil spirit the devil, who had
157        7, XVIII  |          having done that which was evil in the sight of the Lord,
158        7, XXII   |        beginnings and promptings of evil. In this sense also we understand
159        7, XXII   |      inwardly" all the offspring of evil as His enemies. And, in
160        7, XXIV   |           hands; if I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace

162        7, XXXIII |           witness, blasphemies, the evil eye," or any other evil
163        7, XXXIII |             evil eye," or any other evil thing. Wherefore it is said, "
164        7, XLVIII |        hemlock is able to drive all evil desires from their thoughts,
165        7, LII    |               and he so fights with evil "not as one beating the

179        8, XXXIII |             subjected themselves to evil and not to God. For this
180        8, XXXV   |       maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth
181        8, XXXV   |           hands; if I have returned evil to those who have done evil
