  3        1, XXI     |            and educated his people by means of them, what, pray, has
  4        1, XXII    |              some wonderful result by means of their knowledge. The

  6        1, XXIX    |           courage which is not by any means to be despised ? And if
  7        1, XXIX    |               systems and opinions by means of which he might have acquired
  8        1, XXXI    |             common good, might be the means of removing wicked spirits,
  9        1, XXXVI   |           this people, if they had no means of attaining a knowledge
 10        1, XXXVIII |               works done by Jesus, by means of which He induced the
 11        1, XXXVIII |               his own country, and by means of those powers proclaimed
 12        1, L       |             regarding Christ; some by means of dark sayings, others

 14        1, LX      |               they used to perform by means of certain spells and sorceries,
 15        1, LXII    | indiscriminately sailors, he probably means James and John, because
 16        1, LXIV    |           savage manners softened, by means of the Gospel. So that it
 17        1, LXV     |            afforded the disciples the means of support. And who is there
 18        1, LXVI    |           moral fitness that ways and means should be made use of to
 19        1, LXVIII  |              a single juggler who, by means of his proceedings, invites
 20        2, XIII    |            Celsus may not like it, by means of many other predictions
 21        2, XIV     |             that they were wrought by means of sorcery; for he might
 22        2, XIV     |              say that many persons by means of divination, either by

 24        2, XVIII   |             this wickedness was by no means taken away by the foreknowledge.
 25        2, XX      |            the prediction must by all means come to pass. God, therefore,
 26        2, XX      |              is to be accomplished by means of the healing art, of necessity
 27        2, XX      |               predictions must by all means come to pass." Now, if by "

 29        2, XX      |               if by "by all means" he means "necessarily," we cannot
 30        2, XX      |                But if he uses "by all means" in the sense of "simple

 35        2, LI      |               good, there must by all means be something that is good
 36        2, LI      |             that works are wrought by means of sorcery, but would not

 38        2, LI      |             that these men wrought by means of divine power what they
 39        2, LIX     |            nails." We ask him what he means by the expression, "was
 40        2, LIX     |     assistance to himself?" For if he means it to refer to want of virtue,
 41        2, LXX     |               And let us hear what he means by "ought to have happened."
 42        3, I       |              asserting that it was by means of sorcery that he passed

132        6, XLVIII  |             one with the Very Word by means of virtue, so that we infer
133        6, LV      |          unable to see what Scripture means by "good" and "evil,"--it
134        6, LVI     |                in order that by their means the conversion of certain
135        6, LVII    |            whole of Scripture, and by means of those persons who, through
136        6, LIX     |              we reply, that God by no means removes out of the whole

140        6, LXV     |       distinction, and say that if he means the word that is in us--
141        6, LXV     |             with a distinction. If he means, indeed, that there is no

143        6, LXVII   |               darkness, prefer by all means to take our stand "in the
144        6, LXVII   |            Christians, however, by no means consider that they are blinded

146        6, LXX     |              where by the "letter" he means that "exposition of Scripture

149        7, XXIII   |              of a wise man. For if he means one who is wise in "the

155        7, LXVII   |              use of prayers and other means which we learn from Scripture,
156        7, LXIX    |               they adopt, in order by means of incantations and magical
157        7, LXX     |              and nothing shall by any means hurt you;" and again, "Thou
158        8, IV      |               all things," by "us" he means himself and all those who
159        8, VIII    |           worse." But if by injury he means a wicked impulse or an evil
160        8, XV      |            Nevertheless, he leaves no means untried to persuade even

162        8, XXII    |         paschal feast; for the pascha means a "passover," and he is
163        8, XXVI    |      propitiate the demons? For if he means laws enacted in states,
164        8, XLVII   |         angels, or by God through the means of angels; and those recorded
