303 II, 34, 2 | remaining the same unchangeable Being. But all things which proceed
304 II, 34, 3 | existence, were called into being, and continue throughout
305 II, 34, 4 | possesses, must be understood as being separate existences. When
306 II, 35, 1 | always been in the process of being made, and are being made,
307 II, 35, 1 | process of being made, and are being made, and will continue
308 II, 35, 3 | appellations of one and the same Being. For the term Eloe in the
309 II, 35, 3 | title of one and the same Being; as, for example (in English),
310 II, 35, 4 | praise one and the same Being, the God and Father of all,
311 III, pref, 1| falsehood. For the love of God, being rich and ungrudging, confers
312 III, 2, 1 | every one of these men, being altogether of a perverse
313 III, 3, 4 | subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself." There
314 III, 4, 3 | have above enumerated, any being previous to the initiators
315 III, 5, 1 | The apostles, likewise, being disciples of the truth,
316 III, 5, 1 | other. Our Lord, therefore, being the truth, did not speak
317 III, 5, 1 | own Father, an imperfect being as a perfect one, an animal

319 III, 6, 5 | them." And Moses himself, being a man of God, was indeed
320 III, 8, 2 | merely spoken of him as being strong, the strong man should
321 III, 9, 1 | flesh, [the Word] Himself being made incarnate, that in
322 III, 9, 2 | name Emmanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us."
323 III, 10, 2 | grant unto us, that we, being delivered out of the hand
324 III, 10, 2 | He is indeed Saviour, as being the Son and Word of God;
325 III, 10, 2 | Lord." But salvation, as being flesh: for "the Word was
326 III, 11, 1 | these, this creation, as being such, is not outside, as
327 III, 11, 3 | above descended upon him, being without flesh, and impassible.

330 III, 11, 8 | liturgical service. Afterwards, being made man for us, He sent
331 III, 11, 9 | These things being so, all who destroy the
332 III, 11, 9 | aspects of the Gospel as being either more in number than
333 III, 11, 9 | who are from Valentinus, being, on the other hand, altogether
334 III, 12, 1 | assumption into the heavens, being desirous of filling up the

336 III, 12, 2 | all are witnesses: who, being exalted by the right hand
337 III, 12, 4 | that had sent the prophets, being God Himself, raised up,
338 III, 12, 7 | all of them, doubtless, being awe-struck because of the
339 III, 12, 7 | Christ. And He is the same being that was born of Mary, as
340 III, 12, 9 | Areopagus--where, no Jews being present, he had it in his
341 III, 12, 9 | all things therein, He, being Lord of heaven and earth,

343 III, 12, 9 | Creator of the world, no Jews being present, but that He did

345 III, 12, 12 | and puffed up by Satan, being brought over to the doctrine
346 III, 12, 12 | from each other,--the one being good, but the other evil.
347 III, 12, 14 | it seemed good unto us, being assembled with one accord,
348 III, 14, 4 | things recounted by Luke as being true, and to set others
349 III, 15, 1 | boldly bear His name, as being sent to the forementioned
350 III, 16, 1 | suffered in outward appearance, being naturally impassible. The

354 III, 16, 6 | as they do,] that one Being suffered and was born, and
355 III, 16, 6 | sprang from Joseph, was the Being subject to suffering; but
356 III, 16, 6 | from Him who is truly God, being ignorant that His only-begotten
357 III, 16, 6 | visible, the incomprehensible being made comprehensible, the
358 III, 16, 6 | suffering, and the Word being made man, thus summing up
359 III, 16, 7 | Him, for the hour of His being taken was not yet come;"
360 III, 16, 7 | foreknown and fitting, being indeed one and the same,
361 III, 16, 9 | for us. Much more, then, being now justified by His blood,

363 III, 16, 9 | plainest manner, that the same Being who was laid hold of, and
364 III, 16, 9 | the Lord's person], and being desirous of cutting away
365 III, 17, 2 | manner, neither could we, being many, be made one in Christ
366 III, 17, 2 | in like manner we also, being originally a dry tree, could
367 III, 17, 4 | nature, our Lord Jesus Christ being one and the same, as He
368 III, 18, 1 | not then begin to exist, being with the Father from the
369 III, 18, 2 | effected both these things, being the Word of God, descending
370 III, 18, 3 | from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for
371 III, 18, 4 | Christ spoke openly, He being Himself the Saviour of those
372 III, 19, 1 | shall be free indeed." But, being ignorant of Him who from

400 IV, 1, 2 | as He commanded that one Being should be called Father,

412 IV, 4, 3 | been created a rational being, he lost the true rationality,
413 IV, 4, 3 | says the prophet, "Man, being in honour, did not understand:

441 IV, 18, 3 | but that the evildoer, being judged by the actions he
442 IV, 18, 4 | of ours, set Him forth as being covetous of another's property,

447 IV, 20, 2 | caused that from what had no being, all things should come
448 IV, 20, 2 | under the earth, He Himself being made "the first-begotten
449 IV, 20, 4 | and becoming capable of being perceived by it, and freeing
450 IV, 20, 5 | God], the Father of all being invisible. Yet this is what
451 IV, 20, 6 | God, that they may live, being made immortal by that sight,
452 IV, 20, 6 | approving, and man's salvation being accomplished. As He also

463 IV, 30, 2 | just as if any free man, being forcibly carried away by
464 IV, 30, 3 | using such language], as being ignorant of the necessities
465 IV, 31, 1 | down in Scripture without being condemned is without significance."

467 IV, 33, 5 | Master was a mere imaginary being? Or how can they receive
468 IV, 33, 5 | He was a merely imagined being, and not a verity? And how
469 IV, 33, 5 | Himself as a merely imaginary being? Everything, therefore,

475 IV, 34, 3 | revealed in the Gospel], they being ignorant, as ye allege,
476 IV, 35, 1 | independently, freely, and without being involved with that spirit

491 IV, 38, 1 | appeared as a man, that we, being nourished, as it were, from
492 IV, 38, 2 | man was not an uncreated being; but this merely applied

496 IV, 38, 3 | a created and organized being, is rendered after the image
497 IV, 38, 3 | should be glorified; and being glorified, should see his
498 IV, 38, 4 | neither God nor themselves, being insatiable and ungrateful,
