Nay, even the fear of God cannot be felt by such an 516 3, LXXIX | over, neither do we insult God. For we speak regarding 517 3, LXXX | life, and of communion with God: "As for you, good sir, 518 3, LXXXI | compare the blessed end with God in Christ,--that is, the 519 3, LXXXI | bestowed, by the gift of God, on those who have lived 520 3, LXXXI | and undivided love for the God of all things, with that 521 3, LXXXI | not befitting the gift of God, nor those who have lived 522 3, LXXXI | to entrust oneself to the God of all, and yield oneself 523 3, LXXXI | wisdom and the Son of God--to God who is over all.

And Celsus here returns 537 4, III | part is silly talk; for God, by means of His word, which 538 4, III | constituting them friends of God and prophets, does improve 539 4, III | that which is pleasing to God.

For God "comes down" from His own 583 4, XII | a bodily manner; so, if God is said anywhere in the 584 4, XIII | Celsus says we speak of "God coming down like a torturer 585 4, XIII | divine word says that our God is "a consuming fire," and 586 4, XIII | appropriate to be consumed by God.

God, then, could not admit of 593 4, XIV | Scripture the "condescension" of God to human affairs; for which 594 4, XIV | holy Scriptures represent God as unchangeable, both by 595 4, XIV | destruction. Nay, even the god of the Stoics, as being 596 4, XIV | comprehend the natural idea of God, as of a being altogether 597 4, XV | previously in the form of God;" and through benevolence, 598 4, XV | souls, through the word of God that is in Him, is Himself 599 4, XVI | would have it, that our God was transformed, and ascending 600 4, XVIII | accordingly, as follows: "God either really changes himself, 601 4, XVIII | or lunatic is a friend of God, nor does God fear any one 602 4, XVIII | friend of God, nor does God fear any one to such a degree 603 4, XVIII | the Divine Word, who is God, and partly to the soul 604 4, XVIII | greater vigour, so does God appropriately change, in 605 4, XVIII | who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery 606 4, XVIII | robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no 607 4, XVIII | of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted 608 4, XIX | may concede to Celsus that God does not undergo a change, 609 4, XIX | measures to escape danger. But God does not fear any one, so 610 4, XIX | alienation is a friend of God." For the answer is, that 611 4, XIX | might become the friends of God.

For reason, having its 628 4, XXV | beginning in the reason of God, cannot allow of the rational 629 4, XXVI | away from sound views of God, and, under a vain appearance 630 4, XXVI | propriety be reported to God.

For 804 4, LXXX | which subserve the will of God. Now it follows from this, 805 4, LXXX | untrue, that "in this way God rather subjected men to 806 4, LXXX | men to wild beasts."

And God takes care, not, as Celsus 860 4, XCIX | punishments which it becomes God, in conformity with that 861 4, XCIX | terminate our discourse. And may God grant, through His Son, 862 4, XCIX | through His Son, who is God the Word, and Wisdom, and 863 4, XCIX | Scriptures when speaking of God call Him, that we may make 864 5, I | with the "whole armour" of God, and apply a rational medicine 865 5, I | since it is the work of God alone, in conformity with 866 5, I | us reply to them. And may God grant that we approach not 867 5, I | participating in the word of God, we may pull down "every 868 5, I | against the knowledge of God," and the imagination of 869 5, I | in the word and power of God may be implanted in the 870 5, II | Jews and Christians, no God or son of a God either came 871 5, II | Christians, no God or son of a God either came or will come 872 5, II | asserting generally that no God, or son of God, ever descended ( 873 5, II | generally that no God, or son of God, ever descended (among men), 874 5, II | general statement, that "no God or son of God has come down 875 5, II | that "no God or son of God has come down or will come 876 5, II | have done so, would be a god descended from heaven.

Let it be granted, however, 906 5, VII | alleges, the heaven is called God by the Jews, and suppose 907 5, VII | opinions of the Greeks, that if God be a whole, His parts also 908 5, VII | Cosmos taken as the whole is God, the Stoics calling it the 909 5, VII | Stoics calling it the First God, the followers of Plato 910 5, VII | seeing the whole Cosmos is God, its parts also are divine; 911 5, VII | since the whole Cosmos is God, are the riven and seas 912 5, VII | that if any "whole" be a god, its parts necessarily are 913 5, VII | Celsus, that if the Cosmos be God, all that is in it is divine, 914 5, VII | maintain that the Cosmos is God. But the Jews, who live 915 5, VII | heaven or the angels are God.~ 916 5, VIII | of Jeremiah the words of God censuring by the mouth of 917 5, VIII | among the Jews, that when God abandoned that people on 918 5, VIII | regarding the Jews, that "God turned, and gave them up 919 5, VIII | Moloch, and the star of your god Remphan, figures which you 920 5, VIII | increaseth with the increase of God." But Celsus, having neither 921 5, IX | them: I am the LORD your God." He ought, therefore, either 922 5, X | have been apportioned by God among all the nations under 923 5, X | those who were selected by God as His chosen people above 924 5, X | them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations 925 5, X | people, then, being called by God a "chosen generation, and 926 5, X | and observing the law of God. For it was said to them: " 927 5, X | said to them: "The LORD our God hath multiplied us; and, 928 5, X | most glorious rewards with God on account of their virtuous 929 5, XI | nor by him who beholds God, the Father of the true 930 5, XI | whom it has been said, "God is light, and in Him there 931 5, XI | those who understand that God is light, and who have apprehended 932 5, XI | apprehended that the Son of God is "the true light which 933 5, XI | stars, in comparison with God, who is light of the true 934 5, XI | depreciate these great works of God's creative power, or to 935 5, XI | superiority of the divinity of God, and that of His only-begotten 936 5, XI | stars pray to the Supreme God through His only-begotten 937 5, XI | themselves offer up prayers (to God), seeing even they themselves 938 5, XI | send up our requests to the God to whom they pray, rather 939 5, XI | power of prayer between God and them.

And since it 941 5, XI | image of the goodness of God, why should not the sun 942 5, XI | wilt worship the LORD thy God, and Him only shalt thou 943 5, XI | one pray to the Word of God (who is able to heal him), 944 5, XII | XII.~God accordingly, in His kindness, 945 5, XII | providence; while the Son of God, not only (when on earth), 946 5, XII | true vine, the Christ of God, who is with us locally 947 5, XII | Him when He says, "I am a God nigh at hand, and not afar 948 5, XII | not rather to do homage to God, whose servant they are 949 5, XII | those prophets who came from God after him, and who predicted 950 5, XII | in them, and the Word of God, their minister.

And with these words let 956 5, XIII | which follow, that we may, God willing, address to him 957 5, XIV | part to suppose that when God, as if He were a cook, introduces 958 5, XIV | all things are possible to God.

Then, again, after this, 973 5, XVIII | resurrection in a manner worthy of God, although it may, suffice 974 5, XVIII | of some other grain; but God giveth it a body as it hath 975 5, XVIII | cast naked into the earth (God giving to each seed its 976 5, XIX | XIX.~God, then, gives to each thing 977 5, XIX | sown," the body assigned by God to each one according to 978 5, XIX | cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption 979 5, XIX | honourable to reveal the works of God,"--in a way consistent with 980 5, XIX | consistent with truth and God's glory, and so as to be 981 5, XXI | things are administered by God in proportion to the relation 982 5, XXI | unchangeable character of God), yet do not appear to say 983 5, XXII | body that shall be (for God gives it a body as it pleases 984 5, XXII | utterances of Him who was God the Word, who was in the 985 5, XXII | was in the beginning with God, shall by no means pass 986 5, XXIII | refuge, saying that with God all things are possible; 987 5, XXIII | at the same time, that God cannot do what is disgraceful, 988 5, XXIII | capable of ceasing to be God; for if He do anything that 989 5, XXIII | is disgraceful, He is not God.
