1 I, pref| OF WHAT GREAT VALUE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH IS AND ALWAYS 2 I, pref| indeed most deserving of the knowledge of the truth, which they 3 I, pref| of men, who imparts the knowledge of speaking well, as he 4 I, 1 | food for the soul than the knowledge of truth, to the maintaining 5 I, 1 | any one, having gained the knowledge of the truth, shall have 6 I, 1 | briefly define the sum of this knowledge, that neither is any religion 7 I, 6 | of learning, so that the knowledge of many subjects and arts 8 I, 6 | numbers, relating to the knowledge of divine things, in which 9 I, 13 | had possessed any divine knowledge, he ought not to have mutilated 10 I, 14 | forth Neptune without the knowledge of Saturn, and secretly 11 I, 23 | will be excited to the knowledge of the truth, than which 12 I, 23 | willingness and preparation to the knowledge of the other subjects.~ 13 II, 3 | himself cannot attain to this knowledge, unless he is taught by 14 II, 3 | whom God has delivered the knowledge of the truth; to the explaining 15 II, 4 | they are worshipped have no knowledge of it; for they did not 16 II, 8 | themselves should have more knowledge because they are called 17 II, 8 | come from talent, but from knowledge: and this must be explained 18 II, 9 | since He is complete both in knowledge, and judgment, and power; 19 II, 12 | WOULD HAVE GIVEN US THE KNOWLEDGE, IF IT WERE ADVANTAGEOUS 20 II, 12 | although far removed from the knowledge of the truth, yet, inasmuch 21 II, 12 | have conveyed to us the knowledge both of ancient error and 22 II, 13 | which He had placed the knowledge of good and evil. Then the 23 II, 13 | Therefore, having obtained the knowledge of good and evil, he began 24 II, 13 | of death, and receive the knowledge of good and evil." Thus 25 II, 13 | and spread abroad by the knowledge of all, he endeavoured to 26 II, 14 | INVENTOR OF WINE, WHO FIRST HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THE STARS, AND OF THE 27 II, 14 | thus wandering from the knowledge of God, they began to be 28 II, 16 | forth: so much power has the knowledge of God, and righteousness! 29 II, 16 | words: "For piety is the knowledge of God." Asclepius also, 30 II, 17 | away from the worship and knowledge of the true Majesty, that 31 II, 17 | arts they have caused the knowledge of the true and only God 32 III, 1 | I also yield to them the knowledge and learning of the truth, 33 III, 3 | consist of two subjects, knowledge and conjecture, and of nothing 34 III, 3 | conjecture, and of nothing more. Knowledge cannot come from the understanding, 35 III, 3 | thought; because to have knowledge in oneself as a peculiar 36 III, 3 | mortals does not receive knowledge, except that which comes 37 III, 3 | that by these entrances knowledge might flow through to the 38 III, 3 | should claim to ourselves knowledge in a matter of this kind, 39 III, 3 | followed him, take away knowledge, which is not the part of 40 III, 3 | only; for that from which knowledge is absent, is entirely occupied 41 III, 3 | know the truth, because knowledge is concerned with that which 42 III, 4 | IV. THAT KNOWLEDGE IS TAKEN AWAY BY SOCRATES, 43 III, 4 | which claims to itself knowledge; the other a new one, opposed 44 III, 4 | be no inner and peculiar knowledge in man on account of the 45 III, 5 | V. THAT THE KNOWLEDGE OF MANY THINGS IS NECESSARY.~ 46 III, 5 | which is not dependent on knowledge. Therefore Arcesilas ought, 47 III, 5 | peculiar property of which is knowledge. And thus, when he overcame 48 III, 5 | ignorant, ought himself to have knowledge; but when he knows nothing, 49 III, 6 | belongs to man, that is, knowledge united and combined with 50 III, 6 | combined with ignorance. Knowledge in us is from the soul, 51 III, 6 | with darkness, a part of knowledge is given to us, and a part 52 III, 6 | philosophers, that there was no knowledge; and satisfied with the 53 III, 6 | taken away the whole of knowledge, because they had taken 54 III, 6 | were manifest, retained knowledge; as if they had defended 55 III, 6 | to retain or to take away knowledge only, did not see that there 56 III, 6 | teaches that there is no knowledge, when he was detracting 57 III, 6 | foolish, who imagine that the knowledge of the truth can be arrived 58 III, 6 | endeavouring to do this without a knowledge of the truth, introduced 59 III, 6 | nothing at all, the very knowledge that nothing can be known 60 III, 6 | he may even lose ordinary knowledge? For if this learning exists, 61 III, 6 | must necessarily consist of knowledge; if it does not exist, who 62 III, 7 | chief good of Herillus is knowledge; that of Zeno, to live agreeably 63 III, 8 | the point, they have no knowledge of God. Why, therefore, 64 III, 8 | its nature. He who made knowledge the chief good, gave something 65 III, 8 | to man; but men desire I knowledge for the sake of something 66 III, 8 | some advantage from his knowledge? The arts are learned for 67 III, 8 | make, whether we consider knowledge to be the chief good, or 68 III, 8 | those very things which knowledge produces from itself, that 69 III, 8 | But if those things which knowledge produces are common to man 70 III, 8 | animals, it follows that knowledge is not the chief good. Moreover, 71 III, 8 | this definition that bare knowledge is set forth. For all will 72 III, 8 | happy who shall have the knowledge of any art, even those who 73 III, 8 | therefore, to what subject knowledge is to be referred. If to 74 III, 8 | these subjects there is no knowledge, but mere conjecture, which 75 III, 8 | It only remains that the knowledge of good and evil things 76 III, 8 | Why, then, did he call knowledge the chief good more than 77 III, 8 | properly have been said. For knowledge is insufficient for the 78 III, 8 | But virtue united with knowledge is wisdom. It remains that 79 III, 9 | the lot of any one without knowledge and virtue. Now this limitation 80 III, 10 | except man which has any knowledge of God; and among men themselves, 81 III, 11 | have instructed them to the knowledge of the truth. Thus men who 82 III, 12 | one without the virtue of knowledge, that is, without the knowledge 83 III, 12 | knowledge, that is, without the knowledge of God and justice. And 84 III, 12 | who have embraced either knowledge or virtue as the chief good, 85 III, 12 | that which is sought for. Knowledge causes us to know by what 86 III, 12 | is of no avail; for from knowledge arises virtue, and from 87 III, 13 | being destitute of divine knowledge, they neither brought forward 88 III, 13 | grammarian or the orator, whose knowledge is concerned with the proper 89 III, 13 | that wisdom itself is the knowledge of things divine and human, 90 III, 13 | and copious defence the knowledge of divinity and the truth 91 III, 15 | rule, entirely takes away knowledge. Therefore all those things 92 III, 15 | instruction not a display of knowledge, but a law of life! how 93 III, 16 | fountains of virtue and knowledge, yet, when compared with 94 III, 20 | XX. SOCRATES HAD MORE KNOWLEDGE IN PHILOSOPHY THAN OTHER 95 III, 27 | nothing which proceeds from knowledge. But since all things are 96 III, 28 | condition can depend but the knowledge of God who created us, and 97 III, 28 | confess that they neither have knowledge nor wisdom? For if at any 98 III, 28 | who claimed for themselves knowledge were able consistently to 99 III, 29 | himself and all men had knowledge. Then he who endeavours 100 III, 29 | be able to attain to the knowledge of the divine name, in which 101 III, 29 | not indeed know virtue the knowledge of which is derived from 102 III, 30 | TO TRUE WISDOM, AND THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUE GOD, IN WHICH 103 III, 30 | consists in this alone, the knowledge and worship of God: this 104 IV, 3 | that is, to complete our knowledge by deed and action. Where, 105 IV, 4 | religion follows; for the knowledge of God comes first, His 106 IV, 4 | worship is the result of knowledge. Thus in the two names there 107 IV, 5 | error when he has gained the knowledge of the truth.~ 108 IV, 8 | not created to teach the knowledge of God, but for His service. 109 IV, 8 | about to be a teacher of the knowledge of God, and of the heavenly 110 IV, 13 | found out all the way of knowledge, and hath given it unto 111 IV, 13 | of might, the spirit of knowledge and of piety; and He shall 112 IV, 14 | and vain worship to the knowledge and worship of the true 113 IV, 16 | his boast that he has the knowledge of God; and he calleth himself 114 IV, 22 | not instructed in the true knowledge of heavenly learning. But, 115 IV, 22 | or avoid by His divine knowledge, the hands of men? why did 116 IV, 23 | the greatest learning and knowledge. And this indeed was true. 117 IV, 24 | would be as perfect in the knowledge of all things as in virtue, 118 IV, 24 | His divine nature gives knowledge, and His immortality gives 119 IV, 26 | death, being animated by the knowledge of the true light, might 120 IV, 26 | impious nation, when, by the knowledge of the future which He had, 121 IV, 27 | call them away from the knowledge of the true God, by which 122 IV, 30 | foretold, fell away from the knowledge of God, and left the true 123 V, 1 | studious; so that now the knowledge of literature may not only 124 V, 4 | away by his distinguished knowledge of the sacred writings, 125 V, 5 | taken away, men lost the knowledge of good and evil. Thus the 126 V, 15 | character, had possessed knowledge also, in proportion to their 127 V, 15 | God, and the sum of this knowledge is that you worship Him, 128 V, 15 | who does not possess the knowledge of God. For how can he know 129 V, 18 | had been aided also by a knowledge of divine things. Thus their 130 V, 18 | otherwise, although he has the knowledge of right and wrong. But 131 V, 18 | evil. But man, who has the knowledge of good and evil, abstains 132 V, 19 | supposed; for you had no knowledge of the sacred writings. 133 VI, 1 | resources. For they have no knowledge of anything except the earth, 134 VI, 4 | self-restraint, concord, knowledge, truth, wisdom, and the 135 VI, 5 | AND TRUE VIRTUE; AND OF KNOWLEDGE.~But before I begin to set 136 VI, 5 | above-mentioned treatise. But knowledge cannot be virtue, because 137 VI, 5 | property of each individual. Knowledge therefore consists in a 138 VI, 5 | strength for walking, so truly knowledge is of no avail if our virtue 139 VI, 5 | things. Therefore that the knowledge of good and evil is one 140 VI, 5 | appears from this, because knowledge can exist without virtue, 141 VI, 5 | punished. Therefore, as the knowledge of good and evil is not 142 VI, 5 | evil is virtue. And yet [knowledge is so united with virtue, 143 VI, 5 | united with virtue, that knowledge precedes virtue, and virtue 144 VI, 5 | virtue, and virtue follows knowledge; because knowledge is of 145 VI, 5 | follows knowledge; because knowledge is of no avail unless it 146 VI, 5 | offices of each subject, knowledge is to know God, virtue is 147 VI, 6 | GOOD AND VIRTUE, AND Or KNOWLEDGE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS.~I have 148 VI, 6 | the first thing, that the knowledge of good is not virtue; and 149 VI, 8 | man far removed from the knowledge of the truth has set forth 150 VI, 9 | good; since God, from the knowledge of whom he shrinks, is Himself 151 VI, 9 | this who is not without the knowledge of God, but yet lives unjustly. 152 VI, 9 | capable of sensation, both the knowledge of God is necessary, as 153 VI, 9 | naturally good, yet have no knowledge and no intelligence. All 154 VI, 9 | is the Head of virtue and knowledge; and he who is ignorant 155 VI, 18 | ignorance as the greatest knowledge; or who, inasmuch as they 156 VI, 21 | that we might gain the knowledge of God. Therefore, if it 157 VII, 1 | that they had so slight a knowledge of it, that they by no means 158 VII, 2 | and proved without the knowledge of the truth and of heavenly 159 VII, 2 | heavenly things. And this knowledge, as I have often said already, 160 VII, 2 | attain to the conception and knowledge of the truth; inasmuch as 161 VII, 2 | perceive the truth, the knowledge of which belongs to the 162 VII, 2 | But man cannot attain this knowledge by reflection or disputation, 163 VII, 5 | separated. Finally, the knowledge of good and of evil was 164 VII, 5 | that he had received the knowledge of good and evil, it was 165 VII, 7 | unless he has experience and knowledge of the truth. But to know 166 VII, 8 | foresight of the future, and its knowledge of innumerable arts and 167 VII, 9 | other animal which has any knowledge of God; and religion is 168 VII, 9 | is nothing else but the knowledge of God, it is evident that 169 VII, 12 | flesh, does not possess knowledge, which belongs to divinity. 170 VII, 14 | Scriptures instuct to the knowledge of the truth, know the beginning 171 VII, 17 | from God to turn men to the knowledge of God, and he shall receive
