  1        1, Pref   |        conduct among the Jews were a better refutation than any answer
  2        1, Pref   |       refutation, and the doctrine a better answer than any writing,
  3        1, Pref   |            he brings against us. But better is the man who, although
  4        1, VII    |           almost the entire world is better acquainted with what Christians
  5        1, VIII   |             assail Christianity with better effect by not professing
  6        1, VIII   |            that there is a something better in man than the earthly
  7        1, IX     |             earnestly to study, what better method could be devised
  8        1, IX     |            wallowed, whether it were better for them to believe without
  9        1, IX     |             who restores the sick to better health, could take up his
 10        1, IX     |            many, or restored them to better health, does not effect
 11        1, XI     |               without believing that better things will result from
 12        1, XI     |              And yet the belief that better things, even agreeably to
 13        1, XI     |             the hope and belief of a better future be the support of
 14        1, XI     |      accepted by him who believes on better grounds than he who sails
 15        1, XVI    |            produced a change for the better among any tribes; whereas
 16        1, XVIII  |             which of the two are the better fitted to change the character
 17        1, XXIII  |          more manifest (and how much better than all these inventions!)
 18        1, XXXVII |             corporeal substance from better and diviner elements than
 19        1, XLVIII |        naturally see things that are better than bodies, among which
 20        1, XLIX   |       sentiments which it would have better befitted a Samaritan or
 21        1, LII    |            betake them selves to the better life pointed out by Him?
 22        1, LXVI   |          Jesus. And it was certainly better that the Child Jesus should
 23        1, LXX    |            one place. And it was far better, surely, that a god should
 24        2, XVII   |            fight reason, that it was better for him to die as became
 25        2, XXIV   |             death by God, and that a better life is infused into them
 26        2, XLIII  |            known to Him alone, to be better adapted to such a course.~
 27        2, LI     |         worse, but never receive the better? Now it appears to me that
 28        2, LXVIII |              that the world would be better if it were as they arrange
 29        2, LXIX   | disappearance from the cross was not better fitted to serve the purposes
 30        2, LXXII  |           therefore it is heard by a better and more divine organ of
 31        2, LXXVI  |              should make as good, or better, a defence of the revilings
 32        2, LXXVI  |              in a position to make a better defence of it than the Jew
 33        3, III    |            their hope of another and better life! But how can they imagine
 34        3, V      |           than they did strangers of better lives, there is not an accusation
 35        3, VIII   |         religion, they also might be better fitted to despise death,
 36        3, XXII   |              their lives to obtain a better country and position after
 37        3, XXIX   |           who in comparison with the better are less worthy, are nevertheless
 38        3, XXXVIII|       another, and in meeting with a better class of instructors (there
 39        3, XXXVIII|           and in being brought up in better circumstances; for the bringing
 40        3, XXXVIII|           ever receiving any idea of better things, but constantly passed
 41        3, XLII   |      improved in character, and made better by their words and lives,
 42        3, XLIX   |        invite, in order to make them better; but it invites also others
 43        3, XLIX   |          means by which one might be better able to arrive at the truth?"
 44        3, LI     |              virtue in a greater and better degree than they. For the
 45        3, LI     |             they may daily make them better. And this is their method
 46        3, LIII   |          certain kind of nourishment better adapted for the soul, and
 47        3, LIV    |         exchange a wicked life for a better? and do they not desire
 48        3, LVI    |              they formerly heard are better than ours, and in what manner
 49        3, LVII   |        Celsus, as of those who teach better things? (I know not,) unless
 50        3, LVIII  |           vice, and welcomes what is better, then know, that with the
 51        3, LIX    |             led as far as they can a better life, then and not before
 52        3, LXV    |           conscious to themselves of better things, desire that those
 53        3, LXV    |        without sin are partaken of a better life."~
 54        3, LXVI   |           completely changed for the better," but also against the noblest
 55        3, LXVIII |              life of wickedness to a better, and from a state of cowardice
 56        3, LXIX   |       without sin are partakers of a better life;" not making it clear
 57        3, LXXIII |           persons to be brought to a better life. And God, well knowing
 58        3, LXXVIII|             persuade them to despise better things, saying that if they
 59        3, LXXVIII|         refrain from them it will be better for them." In answer to
 60        3, LXXXI  |             him who likes show what "better things" we persuade men
 61        3, LXXXI  |       inspiration. And what are the "better" things from which we teach
 62        3, LXXXI  |        receive them that it would be better to abstain? For if it be
 63        3, LXXXI  |       nothing can be denied which is better than to entrust oneself
 64        4, III    |              but does not make (men) better, nor is it possible for
 65        4, III    |           divine power to make (men) better." Now all this on his part
 66        4, III    |            those who have chosen the better life, and that which is
 67        4, III    |          divine power, to make (men) better, unless he send some one
 68        4, III    |              but does not make (men) better, nor is able to do so by
 69        4, IV     |           why does He not make (men) better? Is it obligatory, then,
 70        4, IV     |          procedure in not making men better, although He knows their
 71        4, IV     |              men, does not make them better, nor by divine power liberate
 72        4, IV     |    instructors) in order to make men better; for there are to be found
 73        4, IV     |            exhort them to enter on a better life. But there are many
 74        4, XXXII  |         directed chiefly against the better class of men, enacted laws
 75        4, XXXVI  |             Epicurean Celsus, who is better able to judge than Plato (
 76        4, XXXVIII|             say," inspired," are not better fitted to excite laughter:--~"'
 77        4, LIV    |               has exchanged them for better, or, as another might say,
 78        4, LVII   |           another of a different and better kind. But since there are,
 79        4, LXXVI  |           his protection. For it was better that those who would not
 80        4, LXXXIX |           nature of the Divine Being better than Pherecydes, and Pythagoras,
 81        4, XCIII  |          with yourself whether it is better to accept the belief that
 82        5, XII    |         after him, and who predicted better things than rain, and heat,
 83        5, XII    |          stars were able to prophesy better things than rain, not even
 84        5, XVI    |             of very tender age, to a better course of life; so, to those
 85        5, XIX    |            their faith to enter on a better course of life, he was nevertheless
 86        5, XXI    |            ever being brought into a better condition, so far as they
 87        5, XXIII  |           causing him to pass into a better and more divine condition,
 88        5, XXXII  |         places by means of laws of a better and more divine character,
 89        5, XLII   |              than from anything of a better nature; and sought the knowledge
 90        5, XLVII  |           whole subject may be still better understood, we have to remark
 91        5, LI     |           out that we have found the better part; and that in showing
 92        5, LXIII  |          exertion to raise them to a better condition through adherence
 93        5, LXV    |    Christians have been expressed in better and clearer language by
 94        6, I      |         these things are stated much better among the Greeks (than in
 95        6, VI     |              would say that they saw better than Plato (by means of
 96        6, XXIII  |            divine souls enter into a better world; and let him peruse
 97        6, XXX    |             Christians, knowing them better than he, may demonstrate
 98        6, XXXV   |              a heavenly church and a better world; and that the circumcision

101        6, LXI    |        earthly body, or one a little better than this. But "neither
102        6, LXIII  |             be in the body only, the better part, the soul, has been
103        6, LXIII  |              after God's image," the better part, may be in the soul;
104        7, VI     |            common woman. Perhaps the better class of men were too good
105        7, XI     |         convinced, indeed, that much better arguments could be adduced
106        7, XII    |           furthered his purpose much better. He gives no instances,
107        7, XIII   |            in these words: "For what better was it for God to eat the
108        7, XXIII  |            written in the Proverbs, "Better is the poor man who is just,
109        7, XXIV   |        Father feedeth them. How much better are ye than they! And why

111        7, XXVIII |              of a land which is much better and more excellent than
112        7, XXX    |          were, of the stones in that better land, is taken from the
113        7, XXX    |            in their allusions to the better land, to imitate those portions
114        7, XXXII  |         former, which is needed as a better covering, suited to the

118        7, XLVI   |          therefore temporary, but at better things than these, whether
119        7, XLIX   |              things, and indeed much better and diviner things than
120        7, LIII   |           for some novelty, how much better it would have been if you
121        7, LVI    |         Jesus the Son of God, we had better have given that honour to
122        7, LIX    |        Grecian speech is necessarily better than the same when expressed
123        7, LIX    |             same doctrines have been better expressed among the Jewish
124        7, LIX    |              only who are styled the better classes, while none of the
125        7, LIX    |             common good are promoted better by that physician who attends
126        7, LX     |    attentions to what are called the better classes of society, and
127        7, LX     |           must that discourse not be better prepared when it produces

134        8, XL     |           came after them." How much better are those words of Scripture: "
