 28        2, XI     |           and that this alone is true, viz., that one of His disciples

 50        3, XXXVII |     consists in knowing the only true God, who is over all, and

 52        3, XLVII  |        when their statements are true, that "although they knew

 55        3, LXIII  |        This is indeed apparently true, that somehow the human
 56        3, LXV    |       that those promises may be true which are declared by God
 57        3, LXXI   |      perhaps is considered to be true by some who are devoid of
 58        3, LXXII  |           or ensnared by it. For true wisdom does not mislead,
 59        3, LXXV   |           we do not assert that "true physicians destroy those

 64        4, XXXV   |        appeared to him to be the true meaning, and by arguments
 65        4, XXXV   |         unintelligent, gives the true interpretation of them.

 73        4, LXXI   |       who is anxious to attain a true understanding of holy Scripture,

 80        4, XCVIII |          recorded, and, if it be true, it is possible that it
 81        5, III    |         the one only visible and true God, under a pretence of
 82        5, VII    |             which is by no means true, for neither are the animals
 83        5, VII    |        portion of it,--how is it true, even according to the opinions
 84        5, X      |         of knowledge, and of the true light, and the light of

 93        5, XL     |         such an assertion is not true. For all men are not governed

 97        5, LIX    |         admit this, and adopt as true the accounts regarding the

100        5, LXI    |          philosophers, nor those true Christians who introduce
101        6, II     |    preaching (although in itself true and most worthy of belief)
102        6, IV     |         and ignorance as to the (true) worship of God. Moreover,

104        6, V      |       into the world" (i.e., the true world, which is perceived

112        6, XLIII  |          wandered away from the (true meaning) of the divine enigmas,
113        6, XLVII  |         him who is joined to the true Lord, Word, and Wisdom,
114        6, L      |          gave it the title of a "true discourse." And since he

118        6, LXV    |         of God, the statement is true, since there are many qualities
119        6, LXV    |        conveyed by words." It is true that the Deity is beyond
120        6, LXVII  |          The remark, indeed, was true which Celsus made, that
121        6, LXVII  |      nothing that is distinct or true, "I see nothing that is
122        6, LXVII  |        with darkness at all. The true light, moreover, being endued

128        7, XI     |     whether his allegations were true or false.~
129        7, XV     |         one argument is: "If any true prophets of the Most High
130        7, XV     |           The other is: "If even true prophets of the Most High
131        7, XV     |           the prophecies are not true, and therefore those things

133        7, XV     |     first is true, the second is true; 2d, if the first is true,
134        7, XV     |        true; 2d, if the first is true, the second is not true,
135        7, XV     |          true, the second is not true, therefore the first is
136        7, XV     |       therefore the first is not true. The concrete example which
137        7, XXI    |   Solomon says, "riches" are the true good, which "are the ransom

140        7, XXXI   |        true heaven, and that the true light." As Celsus has deferred
141        7, XXXI   |       for instance, there is the true light, and another heaven
142        7, XXXI   |          of sense, which have no true reality, they say of God

145        7, XXXIX  |         upon proper objects. All true Christians therefore have
146        7, XLII   |    attained (although if it were true that Plato or any other
147        7, XLIV   |        who, in ignorance of what true religion is, give that name

153        7, LXVIII |          serve demons? Is it not true that all things are ordered
154        7, LXVIII |         be, then it is no longer true that the providence of God

156        7, LXIX   |   according to our belief, it is true of all demons, that they
157        7, LXIX   |         so in departing from the true way; so that the name "demons"
158        7, LXIX   |    demons. We may also learn the true nature of demons if we consider
159        8, I      |          the delusive title of A True Discourse, and at the same
160        8, I      |      bestow upon us His pure and true Word, even "the Lord strong
161        8, II     |    passions to God. It does hold true among men, that he who is

177        8, XLIII  |        like the truth; for it is true that the souls of those
178        8, XLV    |          may not our accounts be true, and those of Celsus fables
