17 27| servants of God, envying man because he was made immortal,
18 27| blessedness. Then death came upon man according to the sentence
19 27| to persecute the seed of man, whom he had deceived from
20 29| without an evil. Chrysippus, a man of active mind, saw this
21 30| that it is not right for man, who ought to look up to

27 31| neither divine nor God. Man, therefore, cannot thoroughly
28 31| but God, or certainly that man whom God has taught. But
29 31| not agree with the wise man. For every one supposes
30 31| there is no knowledge in man, and there ought to be no
31 32| philosopher, but not even of a man. Thus the philosophers,
32 33| respecting the chief good of man, it ought to be settled
33 33| that it have reference to man alone; in the next place,
34 33| then, will be given to man, if his chief good is judged
35 33| are not in the power of man; nor is that now the chief
36 33| This indeed belongs to man, and to the soul only, but
37 34| is proposed to the wise man as the chief good. That
38 34| more is it befitting, that man, who is united with man
39 34| man, who is united with man both in the interchange
40 34| of feeling, should spare man, and love him! For this
41 34| wisdom has been given to man alone, that he may understand
42 34| makes the difference between man and the dumb animals, justice
43 34| to a father, the other to man as to a brother; for we
44 34| owe to God, and what to man; namely, to God religion,
45 34| namely, to God religion, to man affection. But the former
46 34| therefore, it is evident that man is born to justice, it is
47 34| necessary that the just man should be subject to evils,
48 34| it unlawful to injure a man; and if there shall be any
49 35| life falls to the lot of man, as the philosophers will
50 35| because it belongs both to man, and to the soul, and to
51 35| comprehend the nature of man, or to fulfil its duty and
52 36| should place the condition of man on a level with the flocks
53 36| having had the form of a man, to live as a swine or a
54 36| or a dog? And the foolish man, to gain credit for his
55 36| became Pythagoras. O happy man! to whom alone so great
56 37| the sacrifice of a wise man! And because he was unable
57 38| which has been given to man alone, that by mutual assistance
58 39| Undoubtedly the life of a wise man ought to be to others an
59 40| therefore affirm that no wise man has as yet existed. Since,
60 41| of all things, who made man as the image of Himself,
61 43| world, and who was born of man three hundred years ago,
62 43| is the son of God and of man. For He was twice born:
63 43| afterwards in the flesh of man, in the reign of Augustus;
64 43| was born a second time as man, of a virgin, without a

66 44| no less God in man, and man in God. That He was both
67 44| That He was both God and man was declared before by the
68 44| men." Likewise that He was man, the same Jeremiah says: "
69 44| Jeremiah says: "And He is man, and who knew Him?" Isaiah
70 44| the Lord shall send them a man who shall save them, and
71 44| star out of Jacob, and a man shall arise out of Israel."

74 45| though against an impious man, so that they seized and
75 46| God is not in doubt as a man, nor does He suffer threats
76 46| suffer threats as the son of man." Also Zechariah says: "

85 57| innocence, because the just man must be wise, and the foolish
86 57| be wise, and the foolish man unjust. For neither reason
87 57| it is plain that the just man does nothing except that
