  1  I, 1  |           bear this name beloved of God, hoping to be serviceable
  2  I, 1  |         hoping to be serviceable to God. For it is not the case,
  3  I, 1  |           suppose, that the name of God is hard to bear; but possibly
  4  I, 1  |           entertain this opinion of God, because you are yourself
  5  I, 2  |             SOUL MUST BE PURGED ERE GOD CAN BE SEEN.~But if you
  6  I, 2  |            if you say, "Show me thy God," I would reply, "Show me
  7  I, 2  |              and I will show you my God." Show, then, that the eyes
  8  I, 2  |          them we are able to behold God. For God is seen by those
  9  I, 2  |             able to behold God. For God is seen by those who are
 10  I, 2  |            such a man cannot behold God. Do you, therefore, show
 11  I, 2  |           those who do these things God is not manifest, unless
 12  I, 2  |              so that you cannot see God.~
 13  I, 3  |                      III. NATURE OF GOD.~You will say, then, to
 14  I, 3  |             to me, "Do you, who see God, explain to me the appearance
 15  I, 3  |             to me the appearance of God." Hear, O man. The appearance
 16  I, 3  |            O man. The appearance of God is ineffable and indescribable,
 17  I, 3  |          will say, then, to me, "Is God angry?" Yes; He is angry
 18  I, 4  |                   IV. ATTRIBUTES OF GOD.~And He is without beginning,
 19  I, 4  |          immortal. And he is called God [Theos] on account of His
 20  I, 4  |       slaves to man; and all things God has made out of things that
 21  I, 5  |                    V. THE INVISIBLE GOD PERCEIVED THROUGH HIS WORKS.~
 22  I, 5  |          the motion of the body, so God cannot indeed be seen by
 23  I, 5  |            so we must perceive that God is the governor [pilot]
 24  I, 5  |         unable to face the glory of God, which is unutterable? For
 25  I, 5  |          contained by the spirit of God, and the containing spirit
 26  I, 5  |            contained by the hand of God. As, therefore, the seed
 27  I, 5  |             enclosed by the hand of God, behold God. Then again,
 28  I, 5  |             the hand of God, behold God. Then again, an earthly
 29  I, 5  |          and are you unwilling that God should be recognised by
 30  I, 6  |                                 VI. GOD IS KNOWN BY HIS WORKS.~Consider,
 31  I, 6  |           the providence with which God provides nourishment for
 32  I, 6  |        which the manifold wisdom of God has called by names of their
 33  I, 6  |           names of their own. He is God alone who made light out
 34  I, 7  |                  VII. WE SHALL, SEE GOD WHEN WE PUT ON IMMORTALITY.~
 35  I, 7  |             IMMORTALITY.~This is my God, the Lord of all, who alone
 36  I, 7  |        heart. Who is the Physician? God, who heals and makes alive
 37  I, 7  |        through His word and wisdom. God by His own word and wisdom
 38  I, 7  |           His wisdom. By His wisdom God founded the earth; and by
 39  I, 7  |         righteously, thou canst see God. But before all let faith
 40  I, 7  |           let faith and the fear of God have rule in thy heart,
 41  I, 7  |   incorruption, then shall thou see God worthily. For God will raise
 42  I, 7  |          thou see God worthily. For God will raise thy flesh immortal
 43  I, 8  |             not place confidence in God, even when you hold so many
 44  I, 8  |            had itself no being; and God introduced you into this
 45  I, 8  |            you not believe that the God who made you is able also
 46  I, 9  |         kinds of legends; since the god who is called Osiris is
 47  I, 11 |            THE KING TO BE HONOURED, GOD TO BE WORSHIPPED.~Wherefore
 48  I, 11 |            but praying for him. But God, the living and true God,
 49  I, 11 |            God, the living and true God, I worship, knowing that
 50  I, 11 |             honour, for he is not a god, but a man appointed by
 51  I, 11 |              but a man appointed by God, not to be worshipped, but
 52  I, 11 |   government is committed to him by God: as He will not have those
 53  I, 11 |            any to be worshipped but God only. Wherefore, O man,
 54  I, 11 |            this, you do the will of God. For the law that is of
 55  I, 11 |              For the law that is of God, says, "My son, fear thou
 56  I, 12 |            anointed with the oil of God? Wherefore we are called
 57  I, 12 |            anointed with the oil of God.~
 58  I, 13 |         things that are told you by God? But, suppose I should show
 59  I, 13 |          this you would disbelieve. God indeed exhibits to you many
 60  I, 13 |     according to the appointment of God they produce their fruits
 61  I, 13 |           things does the wisdom of God effect, in order to manifest
 62  I, 13 |          even by these things, that God is able to effect the general
 63  I, 13 |             you received again from God mercy and healing, you picked
 64  I, 13 |           this, too, is the work of God, who thus operates, and
 65  I, 14 |           who also by the Spirit of God foretold the things that
 66  I, 14 |            t I believe, obedient to God, whom, if you please, do
 67  I, 14 |     obtaining the eternal prizes of God. For He who gave the mouth
 68  I, 14 |        Since you said, "Show me thy God," this is my God, and I
 69  I, 14 |             me thy God," this is my God, and I counsel you to fear
 70 II, 1  |             you inquired who was my God, and for a little paid attention
 71 II, 3  |            this is the attribute of God, the Highest and Almighty,
 72 II, 3  |            Almighty, and the living God, not only to be everywhere
 73 II, 3  |             which is contained. For God is not contained, but is
 74 II, 4  |             PHILOSOPHERS CONCERNING GOD.~Some of the philosophers
 75 II, 4  |          Porch say that there is no God at all; or, if there is,
 76 II, 4  |           there is no providence of God at all, but maintain that
 77 II, 4  |           at all, but maintain that God is only each man's conscience.
 78 II, 4  |        which pervades all things is God. But Plato and those of
 79 II, 4  |             acknowledge indeed that God is uncreated, and the Father
 80 II, 4  |     maintain that matter as well as God is uncreated, and aver that
 81 II, 4  |         aver that it is coeval with God. But if God is uncreated
 82 II, 4  |             coeval with God. But if God is uncreated and matter
 83 II, 4  |     uncreated and matter uncreated, God is no longer, according
 84 II, 4  |            hold, is the monarchy of God established. And further,
 85 II, 4  |        established. And further, as God, because He is uncreated,
 86 II, 4  |           unalterable, and equal to God; for that which is created
 87 II, 4  |           what great thing is it if God made the world out of existent
 88 II, 4  |           pleases. But the power of God is manifested in this, that
 89 II, 4  |        prerogative of no other than God alone. For even man makes
 90 II, 4  |            to what he has made. But God has this property in excess
 91 II, 4  |    therefore, in all these respects God is more powerful than man,
 92 II, 5  |        however, he does not present God to us. For who does not
 93 II, 5  |              But if water, then not God. God indeed, if He is the
 94 II, 5  |             if water, then not God. God indeed, if He is the creator
 95 II, 6  |         made it; I mean, of course, God, who also fashioned it into
 96 II, 8  |          state has virtue save from God;~Counsel resides in God;
 97 II, 8  |             God;~Counsel resides in God; and wretched man~Has in
 98 II, 8  |            Euripides:--~"Apart from God, there's nothing owned by
 99 II, 8  |               And Menander:--~"Save God alone, there's none for
100 II, 8  |        Euripides again:--~"For when God wills to save, all things
101 II, 8  |           end."~And Thestius:--~"If God design to save you, safe
102 II, 8  |             can evade the stroke of God."~Besides, they both introduced
103 II, 8  |         name of the living and true God; and these spirits of error
104 II, 8  |           regarding the monarchy of God, and the judgment and such
105 II, 9  |          THE HOLY GHOST.~But men of God carrying in them a holy
106 II, 9  |           inspired and made wise by God, became God-taught, and
107 II, 9  |        should become instruments of God, and contain the wisdom
108 II, 10 |             X. THE WORLD CREATED BY GOD THROUGH THE WORD.~And first,
109 II, 10 |            us with one consent that God made all things out of nothing;
110 II, 10 |             nothing was coeval with God: but He being His own place,
111 II, 10 |          stands in need of nothing. God, then, having His own Word
112 II, 10 |           He, then, being Spirit of God, and governing principle,
113 II, 10 |        existence, but the wisdom of God which was in Him, and His
114 II, 10 |             or, rather, the Word of God by him as by an instrument,
115 II, 10 |             says, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the
116 II, 10 |             then he thus introduced God; for not lightly and on
117 II, 10 |        occasion is it right to name God. For the divine wisdom foreknew
118 II, 10 |          therefore, that the living God might be known by His works,
119 II, 10 |             known that] by His Word God created the heavens and
120 II, 10 |             said, "In the beginning God created the heavens and
121 II, 10 |             deep; and the Spirit of God moved upon the water." This,
122 II, 10 |             that matter, from which God made and fashioned the world,
123 II, 10 |          created, being produced by God.~
124 II, 11 |          Wherefore it is said: "And God said, Let light be, and
125 II, 11 |        light be, and light was; and God saw the light, that it was
126 II, 11 |             made good for man. "And God divided the light from the
127 II, 11 |        light from the darkness; and God called the light Day, and
128 II, 11 |             were the first day. And God said, Let there be a firmament
129 II, 11 |          waters: and it was so. And God made the firmament, and
130 II, 11 |            above the firmament. And God called the firmament Heaven:
131 II, 11 |           the firmament Heaven: and God saw that it was good. And
132 II, 11 |            were the second day. And God said, Let the water under
133 II, 11 |          the dry land appeared. And God called the dry land Earth,
134 II, 11 |          waters He called Seas: and God saw that it was good. And
135 II, 11 |           saw that it was good. And God said, Let the earth bring
136 II, 11 |             kind, on the earth: and God saw that it was good. And
137 II, 11 |             were the third day. And God said, Let there be lights
138 II, 11 |           earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the
139 II, 11 |            made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament
140 II, 11 |        light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good. And
141 II, 11 |            were the fourth day. And God said, Let the waters bring
142 II, 11 |          heaven: and it was so. And God created great whales, and
143 II, 11 |            fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And
144 II, 11 |           saw that it was good. And God blessed them saying, Increase
145 II, 11 |             were the fifth day. And God said, Let the earth bring
146 II, 11 |            kind: and it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth
147 II, 11 |            things of the earth. And God said, Let us make man in
148 II, 11 |        creepeth upon the earth. And God created man: in the image
149 II, 11 |        created man: in the image of God created He him; male and
150 II, 11 |         female created He them. And God blessed them, saying, Be
151 II, 11 |           creep upon the earth. And God said, Behold I have given
152 II, 11 |            meat: and it was so. And God saw everything that He had
153 II, 11 |          them. And on the sixth day God finished His works which
154 II, 11 |            works which He made. And God blessed the seventh day,
155 II, 11 |            from all His works which God began to create."~
156 II, 12 |             riches of the wisdom of God which there is in the six
157 II, 12 |             For it is not meet that God be conquered by pleasure;
158 II, 13 |       conception, so far as regards God, is discovered in his beginning
159 II, 13 |        foundation. But the power of God is shown in this, that,
160 II, 13 |          with men are possible with God." Wherefore, also, the prophet
161 II, 13 |         roof, saying: "At the first God created the heavens"--that
162 II, 13 |         account of the heaven which God made coveting the waters
163 II, 13 |         waters, he means that which God gave for animating the creation,
164 II, 13 |            heaven, which was nearer God, before God said, "Let there
165 II, 13 |        which was nearer God, before God said, "Let there be light."
166 II, 13 |        spoke in these words: "It is God who made the heavens as
167 II, 13 |               The command, then, of God, that is, His Word, shining
168 II, 13 |            the world. And the light God called Day, and the darkness
169 II, 13 |      received the nomenclature from God, who made the things themselves.
170 II, 13 |        specially its hollow places, God, through His Word, next
171 II, 13 |      visible, was yet without form. God therefore formed and adorned
172 II, 14 |           it had not had the law of God and the prophets flowing
173 II, 14 |            the holy commandments of God, would long ere now have
174 II, 14 |   storm-tossed may find refuge,--so God has given to the world which
175 II, 14 |           the wrath and judgment of God. And as, again, there are
176 II, 15 |       luminaries were made; because God, who possesses foreknowledge,
177 II, 15 |            bodies, so as to exclude God. In order, therefore, that
178 II, 15 |            For the sun is a type of God, and the moon of man. And
179 II, 15 |        power and glory, so far does God surpass man. And as the
180 II, 15 |        never becoming less, so does God always abide perfect, being
181 II, 15 |            types of the Trinity, of God, and His Word, and His wisdom.
182 II, 15 |         light, that so there may be God, the Word, wisdom, man.
183 II, 15 |             law and commandments of God. For the brilliant and bright
184 II, 15 |          men who have wandered from God, abandoning His law and
185 II, 16 |     revealed the manifold wisdom of God in these things; for who
186 II, 16 |          the waters were blessed by God, that this also might be
187 II, 16 |           and receive blessing from God. But the monsters of the
188 II, 16 |     themselves, but keep the law of God, and eat of the seeds of
189 II, 16 |        again, transgress the law of God, and eat flesh, and injure
190 II, 16 |       righteous, keeping the law of God, bite and injure none, but
191 II, 16 |         things, though partaking of God's blessing, received no
192 II, 17 |          DAY.~And on the sixth day, God having made the quadrupeds,
193 II, 17 |            neither know nor worship God, but mind earthly things,
194 II, 17 |        well-pleasing to the will of God. But those who do not know
195 II, 17 |             do not know nor worship God, are like birds which have
196 II, 17 |          soar to the high things of God. Thus, too, though such
197 II, 17 |            nothing was made evil by God, but all things good, yea,
198 II, 18 |           Scripture gives. For when God said, "Let Us make man in
199 II, 18 |             the dignity of man. For God having made all things by
200 II, 18 |            His own hands. Moreover, God is found, as if needing
201 II, 19 |          MAN IS PLACED IN PARADISE.~God having thus completed the
202 II, 19 |           field before it grew. For God had not caused it to rain
203 II, 19 |     spontaneously by the command of God, that man might not be wearied
204 II, 19 |           existing among men, since God had said, "Let Us make man;"
205 II, 19 |             of the whole earth; and God made man of the dust of
206 II, 19 |         after the formation of man, God chose out for him a region
207 II, 20 |            the sacred history: "And God planted Paradise, eastward,
208 II, 20 |          And out of the ground made God to grow every tree that
209 II, 20 |             Euphrates. And the LORD God took the man whom He had
210 II, 20 |            till and to keep it. And God commanded Adam, saying,
211 II, 20 |            surely die. And the LORD God said, It is not good that
212 II, 20 |          him. And out of the ground God formed all the beasts of
213 II, 20 |            an helpmeet for him. And God caused an ecstasy to fall
214 II, 20 |             the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made
215 II, 21 |            the field which the LORD God had made. And the serpent
216 II, 21 |         said to the woman, Why hath God said, Ye shall not eat of
217 II, 21 |             the midst of the garden God hath said, Ye shall not
218 II, 21 |           shall not surely die. For God doth know that in the day
219 II, 21 |         heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in
220 II, 21 |            the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the
221 II, 21 |            the garden. And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said
222 II, 21 |            tree, and I did eat. And God said to the woman, What
223 II, 21 |             I did eat. And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because
224 II, 22 |                           XXII. WHY GOD IS SAID TO HAVE WALKED.~
225 II, 22 |         then, to me: "You said that God ought not to be contained
226 II, 22 |     Paradise?" Hear what I say. The God and Father, indeed, of all
227 II, 22 |             garden in the person of God, and conversed with Adam.
228 II, 22 |          this voice but the Word of God, who is also His Son? Not
229 II, 22 |        residing within the heart of God. For before anything came
230 II, 22 |          mind and thought. But when God wished to make all that

234 II, 22 |               The Word, then, being God, and being naturally produced

237 II, 23 |           in order that the word of God may be fulfilled, and that
238 II, 24 |             THE BEAUTY OF PARADISE.~God, then, caused to spring
239 II, 24 |             to have been planted by God. As to the rest of the plants,
240 II, 24 |       states, saying: "And the LORD God planted Paradise in Eden
241 II, 24 |            the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that
242 II, 24 |             on our own regions. And God having placed man in Paradise,
243 II, 24 |     commanded him not to taste. And God transferred him from the
244 II, 24 |           and being even declared a god, he might thus ascend into

246 II, 25 |                                XXV. GOD WAS JUSTIFIED IN FORBIDDING
247 II, 25 |           him, as some suppose, did God command him not to eat of
248 II, 25 |         this is holy, not only with God, but also with men, that
249 II, 25 |       parents, how much more to the God and Father of all things?
250 II, 26 |                               XXVI. GOD'S GOODNESS IN EXPELLING
251 II, 26 |    EXPELLING MAN FROM PARADISE.~And God showed great kindness to
252 II, 26 |             and immortal. And as to God's calling, and saying, Where
253 II, 26 |       saying, Where art thou, Adam? God did this, not as if ignorant
254 II, 27 |              He would have made him God. Again, if He had made him
255 II, 27 |             He had made him mortal, God would seem to be the cause
256 II, 27 |          keeping the commandment of God, he should receive as reward
257 II, 27 |      immortality, and should become God; but if, on the other hand,
258 II, 27 |         things of death, disobeying God, he should himself be the
259 II, 27 |            of death to himself. For God made man free, and with
260 II, 27 | carelessness and disobedience, this God now vouchsafes to him as
261 II, 27 |             so, obeying the will of God, he who desires is able
262 II, 27 |       himself life everlasting. For God has given us a law and holy
263 II, 28 |             knew Eve his wife, whom God had formed into a wife for
264 II, 28 |            his wife separately, but God foreknew that man would

266 II, 28 |         should be supposed that one God made the man and another
267 II, 28 |    therefore He made them both; and God made the woman together
268 II, 28 |            that thus the mystery of God's sole government might

270 II, 29 |            I have gotten a man from God." And yet again she bare
271 II, 29 |           Abel was well-pleasing to God, he wrought upon the heart
272 II, 29 |          man, even to this day. But God, being pitiful, and wishing
273 II, 29 |         brother?" But Cain answered God contumaciously, saying, "
274 II, 29 |             I my brother's keeper?" God, being thus made angry with
275 II, 30 |              And, in place of Abel, God granted to Eve to conceive
276 II, 31 |           not at the instigation of God, to build a city, a tower
277 II, 31 |             contrary to the will of God, to attempt a grand work,
278 II, 31 |            to attempt a grand work, God destroyed their city, and
279 II, 31 |            the threats of the great God,~With which He threatened
280 II, 31 |            priests of the Most High God; and from him the above-named
281 II, 34 |             from their fathers. But God at least, the Father and
282 II, 34 |        understand that there is one God. And they also taught us
283 II, 34 |            of the eternal life from God.~
284 II, 35 |            only the living and true God, who also is Maker of the
285 II, 35 |   concerning the sole government of God: "Your God is He who establishes
286 II, 35 |            government of God: "Your God is He who establishes the
287 II, 35 |          says: "Thus saith the LORD God who established the heavens,
288 II, 35 |      therein. This is the LORD your God." And again, through him
289 II, 35 |      another chapter, "This is your God, who created the ends of
290 II, 35 |             concerning the unity of God, and the creation of the

299 II, 36 |             who worship the eternal God,~They shall inherit everlasting

301 II, 37 |       seemeth not to see."~And that God's judgment is to be, and
302 II, 37 |          evil comes unheralded;~But God with sudden hand transforms

305 II, 38 |         concerning providence, that God cares for us, not only for
306 II, 38 |            are pitied by the loving God."~And the writers who spoke
307 II, 38 |            doctrine of the unity of God, and those who asserted
308 II, 38 |             who seeks the wisdom of God, and is well pleasing to
309 III, 1 | compendiously setting forth to you, God helping me, the antiquity
310 III, 2 |          precepts that there is one God? What profit did the sphaerography
311 III, 3 |            taught that there was no god; or if they spoke even of
312 III, 4 |              who are worshippers of God, and are called Christians,
313 III, 7 |             so much of the unity of God and of the soul of man,
314 III, 7 |      abolish providence? Concerning God and providence, Ariston
315 III, 7 |                 Be of good courage: God will still preserve~And
316 III, 7 |           majority, have said about God and providence. For some
317 III, 7 |           have absolutely cancelled God and providence; and others,
318 III, 7 |        others, again, have affirmed God, and have avowed that all
319 III, 8 |    worshipped among the Romans as a god? I am silent about the temples
320 III, 8 |         either the non-existence of God, or promiscuous intercourse
321 III, 9 |           IX. CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE OF GOD AND HIS LAW.~Now we also
322 III, 9 |            Now we also confess that God exists, but that He is one,
323 III, 9 |          lawgiver Him who is really God, who teaches us to act righteously,
324 III, 9 |         them: for I am the LORD thy God." And of doing good He said: "
325 III, 9 |           the land which I the LORD God give thee." Again, concerning
326 III, 9 |           then, Moses, who also was God's servant, was made the
327 III, 9 |      Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. God, being mindful of them,
328 III, 10|     accordance with a prediction of God,--having sojourned, then,
329 III, 10|           them out into the desert, God taught them by the law,
330 III, 11|           had been given to them by God, God being good and pitiful,
331 III, 11|          been given to them by God, God being good and pitiful,
332 III, 11|            return unto the LORD his God, and he will find mercy,
333 III, 11|               Turn to the LORD your God, as a grape-gatherer to
334 III, 11|    Scriptures regarding repentance, God being always desirous that
335 III, 12|           inspired by one Spirit of God. Isaiah accordingly spoke
336 III, 12|           good way of the LORD your God, and walk in it and ye shall
337 III, 12|           the will of the LoRD your God." So also says Hosea: "Keep
338 III, 12|     judgment, and draw near to your God, who established the heavens
339 III, 12|            and pray to the LORD thy God urgently that he may have
340 III, 15|    administered, worship performed, God acknowledged: truth governs,
341 III, 15|       wisdom teaches, life directs, God reigns. Therefore, though
342 III, 15|         life, and the ordinances of God, the maker of all creation,
343 III, 16|             accurate demonstration, God helping me, of the historical
344 III, 16|            If then, my friend, some god should promise us, that
345 III, 17|          rather become a scholar of God in this matter of legislation,
346 III, 17|        accurate information than by God's teaching him through the
347 III, 17|     possessed by the Holy Spirit of God! On this account all the
348 III, 18|          prophet and the servant of God, in giving an account of
349 III, 19|          which had been prepared by God's direction, not by Deucalion,
350 III, 19|         them, saying, Come thither, God calls you to repentance.
351 III, 21|     pursuance of the appointment of God, continued in the temple,
352 III, 23|            eras and dates, we will, God helping us, now give an
353 III, 23|          which Moses the servant of God recorded through the Holy
354 III, 23|            for favour from the only God, that I may accurately speak
355 III, 24|    transgressed the commandments of God, they served the king of
356 III, 25|            who also, by the will of God, was the first to build
357 III, 25|           10 days. And according as God had, by the prophet Jeremiah,
358 III, 25|             rebuild their temple to God, which the fore-mentioned
359 III, 25|            with the instructions of God, gave orders to his own
360 III, 26|       governed by the providence of God, who made all things; and
361 III, 26|          them, I will endeavour, by God's help, to give an account,
362 III, 27|         began to increase in power, God strengthening them, Rome
363 III, 30|            in not making mention of God, but of vain and useless
364 III, 30|          the incorruptible and only God they not only omit to mention,
365 III, 30|          harmonious language insult God; but of those who are zealous
366 III, 30|      necessarily lost the wisdom of God, and have not found the
