For goods belonging to the body--that 6 III, 8 | those which they call the goods of fortune; for as man has 7 III, 8 | therefore they are not the chief goods; for the desire of pleasure 8 III, 11 | things which are esteemed as goods, as others do overpowered 9 III, 11 | struggle against these present goods but that which longs for 10 III, 12 | things which are desired as goods; if in its highest condition 11 III, 22 | virtues, but a community of goods contains nothing else than 12 IV, 1 | together with their gods and goods relating to the body, because 13 IV, 1 | depressed downwards, clung to goods of the earth, as they did 14 IV, 1 | eternal and incorruptible goods, which alone ought to be 15 V, 16 | that these present earthly goods to which great honour is 16 V, 19 | reward ! For if it judges its goods to be divine, as you said, 17 V, 19 | deprive virtue of those goods which were conferred upon 18 V, 20 | evils, but the latter to goods; and it is necessary for 19 V, 22 | appearance of earthly and present goods, which in no way have reference 20 V, 22 | righteous are without these goods, and that the unrighteous 21 V, 22 | to this belong all those goods which are their desire and 22 V, 22 | sight of the eyes, and its goods cannot be seen, for they 23 V, 23 | be far removed from those goods, the enjoyment of which 24 V, 23 | by Laelius, and his own goods as divine, neither desires 25 V, 23 | by frail and perishable goods." From which it ought to 26 V, 23 | these earthly and frail goods, departed from discipline 27 V, 23 | which neither the loss of goods, nor of the light, nor bodily 28 VI, 1 | earth.
