For the word of God declares that the preaching ( 1124 6, II | imparted to the speaker from God, and a grace appear upon 1125 6, III | are well said, for it is God who revealed to men these 1126 6, III | correct ideas regarding God, but who have not offered 1127 6, III | express words: "The wrath of God is revealed from heaven 1128 6, III | that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for 1129 6, III | is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them. 1130 6, III | because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not 1131 6, III | they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; 1132 6, III | glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like 1133 6, IV | Artemis, as if she were God, and will look (with approval) 1134 6, IV | those great topics which God has revealed to them, and 1135 6, IV | the "invisible things" of God and of the "'archetypal 1136 6, IV | to the (true) worship of God.

Our wise men, however,-- 1141 6, IV | first who wrote that, as God manifests Himself to the 1142 6, IV | resemble those persons to whom God showed Himself: for He was 1143 6, IV | heart, for they shall see God."~ 1144 6, V | of the glorious Gospel of God in the face of Christ Jesus." 1145 6, V | attain to a pure worship of God, nor even himself, who could 1146 6, VI | concerning the Gospel of God; but the words which He 1147 6, VI | received by the grace of God), what things were to be 1148 6, VII | passages worthy of the grace of God bestowed upon them, and 1149 6, VII | they have done regarding God? But as Celsus now, after 1150 6, VII | Scriptures that the word of God also encourages us to the 1151 6, VII | writings, and to ask of God concerning them, and to 1152 6, VIII | once and believe that a God of a particular kind exists, 1153 6, VIII | discourse concerning the Son of God which is related in Plato' 1154 6, VIII | And calling to witness the God of all things--the ruler 1155 6, X | the words of the Son of God, or those of the Creator( 1156 6, X | introduce to thee is the Son of God;" but we put the Gospel 1157 6, X | introduce to thee is the Son of God, although he was shamefully 1158 6, XI | in human life as sons of God in the manner in which Jesus 1159 6, XI | that he was the Son of God, he to whom his followers 1160 6, XI | Christ is the only Son of God who visited the human race: 1161 6, XI | that he was the power of God that is called great, and 1162 6, XI | latter that he was the Son of God. Now Simonians are found 1163 6, XI | their doctrine was not of God, they were destroyed, and 1164 6, XI | their having come down from God to visit the human race. 1165 6, XII | men to be foolishness with God;" Paul having said that " 1166 6, XII | world is foolishness with God." Celsus says that "the 1167 6, XII | principles, but that of God is;" and in another, that " 1168 6, XIII | which is "foolishness with God;" whereas the "divine"-- 1169 6, XIII | comes, through the grace of God who bestows it, to those 1170 6, XIII | say, in their prayers to God, "Even if one among the 1171 6, XIII | so-called "charismata" of God; and the "second" after 1172 6, XIII | adhere to the service of God, so far as they can, must 1173 6, XV | the Laws as follows: "Now God, according to the ancient 1174 6, XV | under the mighty hand of God." If there are some, however, 1175 6, XV | under "the mighty hand of God," through Jesus Christ, 1176 6, XV | did not deem equality with God a thing to be eagerly clung 1177 6, XVI | enter into the kingdom of God," Celsus alleges that this 1178 6, XVI | enter into the kingdom of God!" Now, if Celsus had not 1179 6, XVII | Scriptures give of the kingdom of God, has quoted none of them, 1180 6, XVII | of speech, it is said of God in the eighteenth Psalm, 1181 6, XVII | worthily entertained of God are invisible and unknowable, 1182 6, XVII | and unknowable, because God conceals Himself in darkness, 1183 6, XVII | feebler power of comprehending God. And in order that it may 1184 6, XVII | appear that the knowledge of God has rarely been vouch-safed 1185 6, XVII | into the darkness where God was. And again, with regard 1186 6, XVII | doctrines which relate to God, and which is unattainable 1187 6, XVII | even the deep things of God," he added: "The abyss like 1188 6, XVII | and Saviour, the Logos of God, manifesting that the greatness 1189 6, XVII | by the Logos Himself and God, declares: "No man knoweth 1190 6, XVIII | express their ideas regarding God, in order to show that, 1191 6, XVIII | cover the face and feet of God, and of those called cherubim, 1192 6, XVIII | and of the manner in which God is said to be borne upon 1193 6, XIX | boast of a 'super-celestial' God thus ascending beyond the 1194 6, XIX | they also ascend beyond the God of the Jews, or only beyond 1195 6, XIX | who acknowledge another god than the one worshipped 1196 6, XIX | the thoughts concerning God entertained by those who 1197 6, XIX | book of Psalms: "Praise God, ye heaven of heavens and 1198 6, XX | heavens, even Jesus the Son of God," who has promised to all 1199 6, XX | the invisible things of God, which are no longer understood 1200 6, XXI | current in the Churches of God do not speak of "seven" 1201 6, XXI | heaven, and the angels of God ascending and descending 1202 6, XXIII | is related of the city of God, the heavenly Jerusalem, 1203 6, XXIII | of Jesus, nor the Son of God Himself, repeat anything 1204 6, XXV | expression, was created by God for a plaything; for we 1205 6, XXVII | is termed the 'accursed' god." Then, laying hold of the 1206 6, XXVII | there exist any who call the God of the Jews--who sends rain 1207 6, XXVII | Creator of this world, and the God of Moses, and of the cosmogony 1208 6, XXVIII | also the reason why the God of the Mosaic cosmogony 1209 6, XXIX | against those who termed the God of Moses and of his law 1210 6, XXIX | that you worship the same God; but when your teacher Jesus 1211 6, XXIX | decisions, you seek another God, instead of Him, and the 1212 6, XXIX | they acknowledge the same God as they do; but that when 1213 6, XXIX | Moses, they seek another god instead of Him. Now, whether 1214 6, XXIX | of only one and the same God, whom the Jews also worshipped 1215 6, XXIX | still profess to worship as God, and we are guilty of no 1216 6, XXIX | not assert, however; that God will raise men from the 1217 6, XXX | acknowledge Jesus as Saviour, nor God, nor Teacher, nor Son of 1218 6, XXX | nor Teacher, nor Son of God.~ 1219 6, XXXII | names of one and the same God; which, not being understood 1220 6, XXXII | understood by the enemies of God, as even themselves acknowledge, 1221 6, XXXII | that Iao was a different God, and Sabaoth another, and 1222 6, XXXIII | which Christians offer up to God.~ 1223 6, XXXVI | the paradise planted by God. Celsus, moreover, has often 1224 6, XLI | that they who worship the God of all things in conformity 1225 6, XLII | creating an adversary to God, the devil, and naming him 1226 6, XLII | repeated, viz., that the mighty God, in His desire to confer 1227 6, XLII | is helpless. The Son of God, it follows, is vanquished 1228 6, XLII | for himself the glory of God, but that those who wish 1229 6, XLII | to Hera are the words of God addressed to matter; and 1230 6, XLII | a state of discord (with God), was taken by Him, and 1231 6, XLII | viz., that "the Son of God is punished by the devil, 1232 6, XLIII | opposed to those who are God's heritage, are deserted 1233 6, XLIII | heritage, are deserted by God. Nay, with respect to the 1234 6, XLIII | presenting himself before God, and asking for power against 1235 6, XLIV | his patron. For it became God, who knows how to turn to 1236 6, XLIV | adversary" to the Son of God, who is righteousness, and 1237 6, XLIV | beauty" in the paradise of God, being filled as it were 1238 6, XLIV | down, and torn away from God, and from right views of 1239 6, XLV | is named Antichrist? For God, comprehending all things 1240 6, XLV | should be styled the Son of God, on account of His pre-eminence; 1241 6, XLVI | above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; 1242 6, XLVI | sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he 1243 6, XLVI | showing himself that he is God. Remember ye not, that, 1244 6, XLVI | saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, 1245 6, XLVI | sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he 1246 6, XLVI | showing himself that he is God," is in Daniel referred 1247 6, XLVII | should call him 'Son of God.' Men of ancient times termed 1248 6, XLVII | world, as being born of God, both his child and his 1249 6, XLVII | the one and other 'Son of God,' then, greatly resembled 1250 6, XLVII | employed the expression "Son of God," having perverted what 1251 6, XLVII | world, as being born of God, and being His "Son," and " 1252 6, XLVII | being His "Son," and "a God." For he was unable so to 1253 6, XLVII | that there was a "Son of God" long before the Greeks 1254 6, XLVII | world, as being the Son of God; lest he too should be compelled 1255 6, XLVII | this world is the Son of God, and that His Father is 1256 6, XLVII | His Father is the first God and Sovereign Ruler over 1257 6, XLVII | one with so great a Son of God through the highest union 1258 6, XLVII | then the soul of Jesus and God the Word--the first-born 1259 6, XLVIII | assert that the virtue of God and man is the same, maintain 1260 6, XLVIII | same, maintain that the God who is over all things is 1261 6, XLVIII | Jesus being called "Son of God," not observing what is 1262 6, XLVIII | animated by the Son of God, to be the whole Church 1263 6, XLVIII | to be the whole Church of God, and the members of this 1264 6, XLIX | was, and the "Spirit of God" which was "borne over it;" 1265 6, XLIX | been made in the image of God."
