So these men, without honour 111 III, 26| who is afraid of pain and death; he shall presently despise 112 III, 27| But how much time does death occupy? on the arrival of 113 III, 27| where virtue is subject to death and decay. Therefore they 114 III, 28| on a contest for life and death with fortune. Now, as many 115 III, 28| persons on account of the death and removal of friends, 116 III, 29| of sin, may impel them to death; or, if he shall have not 117 IV, 1 | delighted, they sought eternal death for themselves, together 118 IV, 1 | all bodies are subject to death. Superstitions of this kind, 119 IV, 4 | the penalty of everlasting death, which is the punishment 120 IV, 4 | perpetual power of life and death. And he who does not adore 121 IV, 5 | be freed from error and death, who despise and refuse 122 IV, 8 | of a body, and subject to death. But with whom could God 123 IV, 10| wicked men, and might undergo death, that, having subdued this 124 IV, 10| the hope of overcoming death, and might admit him to 125 IV, 11| might incur the penalty of death by their fault if they should 126 IV, 12| THE VIRGIN; OF HIS LIFE, DEATH, AND RESURRECTION, AND THE 127 IV, 12| nations, He might also suffer death, that He might overcome 128 IV, 16| design of putting Him to death, and torturing Him: of which 129 IV, 16| condemn him to a shameful death. Such things have they imagined, 130 IV, 16| stirred up to put Him to death. Now His humility emboldened 131 IV, 17| which are nourished only for death; lest, by devoting themselves 132 IV, 17| and should be visited with death. Also that they should not 133 IV, 18| must suffer and be put to death for the salvation of many, 134 IV, 18| that He, having been put to death by the Jews, would rise 135 IV, 18| punishment, yet He was put to death, and that, too, by an impious 136 IV, 18| perseveringly maintained even to His death, Isaiah thus spoke again: " 137 IV, 18| their God, and put Him to death, these testimonies of the 138 IV, 18| people He was led away to death. And I will give Him the 139 IV, 18| burial, and the rich for His death, because He did no wickedness, 140 IV, 18| because He was delivered up to death, and was reckoned among 141 IV, 19| XIX. OF THE DEATH, BURIAL, AND RESURRECTION 142 IV, 19| Where is thy judgment, O death? or where is thy sting?" 143 IV, 19| sleep he would put an end to death:--~"And after sleeping three 144 IV, 19| put an end to the fate of death;and then, releasing Himself 145 IV, 19| life for us by overcoming death. No hope, therefore, of 146 IV, 20| unless Christ had undergone death the testament could not 147 IV, 20| Christ, who, having suffered death for us, made us heirs of 148 IV, 20| against me the sentence of death and the cross. For that 149 IV, 21| when Nero had put them to death, Vespasian destroyed the 150 IV, 22| sufferings, to pain, and death:as though it had not been 151 IV, 22| not at least in His very death reveal His majesty? but 152 IV, 22| who was guilty, was put to death as one who was mortal. I 153 IV, 23| forbid me to fear pain or death; but this is so contrary 154 IV, 24| it is virtue not to fear death itself when threatened, 155 IV, 24| angry, which fears pain and death. And thus I am led on against 156 IV, 24| this life. You do not fear death, because it can have no 157 IV, 24| not able to bear pain or death for righteousness, because 158 IV, 24| am frail. See, pain and death have power over me also; 159 IV, 24| victorious over pain and death. I go before you through 160 IV, 24| Also, he must be subject to death and all sufferings, since 161 IV, 24| suffering, and the undergoing death; all which, as I have said, 162 IV, 25| torture, and be sentenced to death. For since there was no 163 IV, 25| leads it from immortality to death. Therefore the spirit, apart 164 IV, 25| food and nourishment of death. For this cause, therefore, 165 IV, 25| He might rescue man from death, which has dominion over 166 IV, 25| visit it with everlasting death. And that we might be able 167 IV, 26| fall, walks in the way of death. Likewise He cleansed the 168 IV, 26| He brought them back from death. What is more suitable to 169 IV, 26| revealed the secrets of death? But this unspeakable power 170 IV, 26| from God and subject to death, being animated by the knowledge 171 IV, 26| into the snares of eternal death. The actions, therefore, 172 IV, 26| of pain and contempt of death, by which virtue is rendered 173 IV, 26| not refuse even to undergo death, that under His guidance 174 IV, 26| guidance man might triumph over death, subdued and bound in chains 175 IV, 26| Father chose that kind of death in preference to others, 176 IV, 26| some honourable kind of death? why was it by the cross 177 IV, 27| by which alone eternal death can be escaped. They are 178 IV, 28| same manner after their death, therefore they are superstitious 179 IV, 30| people to the darkness of death: I will explain: how this 180 V, 1 | therefore they torture, put to death, and banish the worshippers 181 V, 1 | able to deliver these from death, to which they are hastening 182 V, 3 | since they not only endured death for their faith, but also 183 V, 3 | especially befall him after death which even the greatest 184 V, 3 | illustrious deeds, or even by death undergone in behalf of their 185 V, 3 | could not therefore after death be believed to be a god, 186 V, 9 | whereas, if they should put to death the wicked only, they would 187 V, 9 | except that they are put to death or led away to slavery! 188 V, 9 | through fear of pain or death, or by their own perfidy, 189 V, 11| wild terrors swarm,~And Death glares grim in many a form."~ 190 V, 11| determines to put no one to death. Therefore it cannot be 191 V, 11| torture: as though, in truth, death alone could make them happy, 192 V, 12| do not think it worthy of death only, but it is esteemed 193 V, 12| tortures, condemns, and puts to death good and righteous men, 194 V, 13| tortured and to be put to death; whereas they might see 195 V, 13| that it is defended even to death, that there is some foundation 196 V, 13| that he could not escape death, laid his hand upon the 197 V, 14| while to suffer torture and death rather than betray a trust 198 V, 14| or, overcome by fear of death or severity of pain, commit 199 V, 14| no tortures, no kind of death, that they may not turn 200 V, 14| have any courage to despise death and pain. But if we possess 201 V, 14| regard him who despises death as a madman, which is plainly 202 V, 17| justice not to put a man to death, not to take the property 203 V, 18| die than put another to death. Nor will justice, which 204 V, 19| that man is destroyed by death. And from this persuasion 205 V, 19| have no existence after death, assuredly it is the part 206 V, 20| because they cause their own death by serving most abandoned 207 V, 20| defended, not by putting to death, but by dying; not by cruelty, 208 V, 20| patient endurance or by death; in which the preservation 209 V, 20| because he has undergone death for his leader; how much 210 V, 20| adulteress, but either the death of her husband, or that 211 V, 23| which is defended even to death, which is preferred to all 212 VI, 1 | greatest precipitation to death. For, as we showed in the 213 VI, 1 | engaged with darkness and death, which belong to the earth 214 VI, 3 | referred to life, their ends to death. We therefore speak better 215 VI, 4 | are about to follow after death, and shall have turned aside 216 VI, 6 | punishment of everlasting death, which is the greatest evil. 217 VI, 6 | which neither any man, nor death itself, can take away from 218 VI, 6 | who despoils, who puts to death? And they who strive to 219 VI, 7 | that way of destruction and death which has many windings, 220 VI, 7 | distinction, and plunges them into death. But this way--which is 221 VI, 9 | want, exile, pain, and death, which are feared by others, 222 VI, 12| prevented from undergoing death in behalf of justice and 223 VI, 17| exile, or imprisonment, or death; and if any one does not 224 VI, 17| recollection of various kinds of death, when the butchery of savage 225 VI, 17| monsters has raged even beyond death itself. But a happy and 226 VI, 17| is full of activity, but death is quiet. They also rightly 227 VI, 17| it is a virtue to despise death; not that we seek it, and 228 VI, 17| should prefer to undergo death, and should defend our liberty 229 VI, 17| which others fear--pain and death. This is virtue; this is 230 VI, 17| can be just who fears death, or pain, or exile, or want." 231 VI, 17| inferior, who, when he sees death at hand, is not so disturbed 232 VI, 20| punish him with everlasting death. The pleasure arising from 233 VI, 20| placed under the stroke of death, and entreating mercy, not 234 VI, 20| suffer them to be put to death, but also demand it, and 235 VI, 20| inhuman votes for their death, not being satiated with 236 VI, 20| delude them by a pretended death. They are even angry with 237 VI, 20| whether you put a man to death by word, or rather by the 238 VI, 20| is the act of putting to death itself which is prohibited. 239 VI, 20| always unlawful to put to death a man, whom God willed to 240 VI, 20| souls for life, and not for death. But men, that there may 241 VI, 21| he designs for himself death; for as there is perpetual 242 VI, 21| life in virtue, so there is death in pleasure. For he who 243 VI, 22| pleasure is the contriver of death. For as God calls man to 244 VI, 22| so the other calls us to death by delights and pleasures; 245 VI, 22| brought under the dominion of death with the body itself, to 246 VI, 24| foreign travel, another by death, another by infirm health; 247 VI, 24| of a dumb animal, nor of death and blood, but of man and 248 VII, 1 | proceed along the way of death, which is very broad, since 249 VII, 5 | did He make him subject to death and decay? why did He expose 250 VII, 5 | the contempt of pain and death. In like manner, the things 251 VII, 5 | refuse neither torture nor death in behalf of the faith, 252 VII, 6 | if we are nothing after death,--what can be so superfluous, 253 VII, 6 | worship of those who after death are about to have no existence? 254 VII, 6 | Or if souls remain after death, what do they do or are 255 VII, 8 | respecting immortality and death, declared that he did not 256 VII, 9 | which are weighty depress to death, and those which are light 257 VII, 9 | because life is on high, and death below. And as there cannot 258 VII, 9 | endeavours to lead them to death, which dissolves the living 259 VII, 9 | it neither fears pain nor death, that it may discharge its 260 VII, 9 | which it despises. But when death has been undergone, what 261 VII, 10| VIRTUES, AND OF LIFE AND DEATH.~Let us now in turn pass 262 VII, 10| is never ended except by death, since its highest office 263 VII, 10| is in the undergoing of death: therefore the reward of 264 VII, 10| reward of virtue is after death. In fine, Cicero, in his 265 VII, 10| happen to man except after death. "A man will go," he says, " 266 VII, 10| circumstances shall so happen, to death in which we have ascertained 267 VII, 10| chief good or no evil." Death, therefore, does not extinguish 268 VII, 10| writings call the second death, which is both eternal and 269 VII, 10| belongs to the body; so also death is in like manner temporary 270 VII, 11| which God has appointed for death shall be completed, death 271 VII, 11| death shall be completed, death itself shall be ended. And 272 VII, 11| ended. And because temporal death follows temporal life, it 273 VII, 11| everlasting life, because temporal death has received an end. Again, 274 VII, 11| its immortality; also its death must be eternal, in which 275 VII, 11| the soul is not subject to death? For, as to the body, since 276 VII, 11| pain, in the contempt of death. From which it is credible 277 VII, 12| which separation is called death, then each returns into 278 VII, 12| it will become subject to death, since virtue, as we have 279 VII, 12| immortality, as pleasure is of death. But death, as I have set 280 VII, 12| pleasure is of death. But death, as I have set forth, does 281 VII, 12| complained of his dissolution in death; but he perhaps had seen 282 VII, 12| Epicurean philosophizing even in death, and with his latest breath 283 VII, 12| worn out with old age and death, and gain admission into 284 VII, 13| whether the soul remains after death or goes to dissolution; 285 VII, 14| themselves immortality, but death by their sins and lusts; 286 VII, 15| what remains, except that death follow old age? And that 287 VII, 16| plunder, spoil, and put to death. And at length, the name 288 VII, 16| but He will not hear them; death shall be desired, but it 289 VII, 20| loosing fate and the sting of death; andafterwards I will call 290 VII, 20| sensible of pain, and even of death. If it is not liable to 291 VII, 20| If it is not liable to death, not even to pain, it follows 292 VII, 20| annihilated by the intervention of death: that the souls, moreover, 293 VII, 21| immediately judged. after death. For all are detained in 294 VII, 22| thousand years from their death, but that, when again restored 295 VII, 22| pass a happy life whose death has been annulled. But the 296 VII, 23| and that we, after our death, when certain periods of 297 VII, 27| gives rest, in the place of death life, in the place of darkness 298 VII, 27| be undergone, in short, death itself must be undertaken 299 VII, 27| possible, be deserted, in which death is concealed, being covered
