 17    I, 3   |         arrive at the knowledge of God. For God would not have
 18    I, 3   |          the knowledge of God. For God would not have accomplished
 19    I, 3   |            hidden power in willing God possessed, He carried fully
 20    I, 3   |         and there is nothing which God cannot do. Man, then, whom
 21    I, 3   |         cannot do. Man, then, whom God made, is desirable for himself,

 25    I, 5   |           I, and the children that God hath given me." Are you
 26    I, 5   |            birds are acceptable to God, and explaining that like
 27    I, 5   |          enter into the kingdom of God," are His words to be understood
 28    I, 5   |       children who know Him who is God alone as their Father, who
 29    I, 5   |       reality a child and a son to God and to the world,--to the
 30    I, 5   |            and of the knowledge of God, to a perfect man, to the
 31    I, 5   |         have betaken themselves to God. But if, which is rather
 32    I, 5   |          old folly. Of late, then, God was known by the coming
 33    I, 5   |        Christ: "For no man knoweth God but the Son, and he to whom
 34    I, 5   |            hold, ing festival with God? That which is signified
 35    I, 5   |      Abraham, as Christ the Son of God, and a sacrifice as the
 36    I, 5   |      Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince
 37    I, 5   |            be no end." O the great God! O the perfect child! The
 38    I, 5   |         women:" Behold the Lamb of God!" For since Scripture calls
 39    I, 5   |            it has also called Him--God the Word--who became man
 40    I, 5   |           like to us--"the Lamb of God"--Him, namely, that is the
 41    I, 5   |         namely, that is the Son of God, the child of the Father.~
 42    I, 6   |      illuminated, which is to know God. He is not then imperfect
 43    I, 6   |          me when I profess to know God; for so it was deemed right
 44    I, 6   |   knowledge is absurd, since He is God. For none can be superior
 45    I, 6   |           that is, by which we see God clearly. Now we call that
 46    I, 6   |           wanting to him who knows God? For it were truly monstrous
 47    I, 6   |          called a gift (or act) of God's grace. Being perfect,
 48    I, 6   |            perfection in life; for God is never weak. For as His
 49    I, 6   |            the apostle, "taught of God." It is not then allowable
 50    I, 6   |           the righteous and loving God, and the same fellowship
 51    I, 6   |            are all the children of God through faith in Christ
 52    I, 6   |            I thank Thee, O Father, God of heaven and earth, that
 53    I, 6   |             are we the children of God, who have put aside the
 54    I, 6   |          undefiled. And a babe, as God's little one, is cleansed
 55    I, 6   |      fulness of the time was came, God sent forth His Son, made
 56    I, 6   |          son, then an heir through God." What, then, is lacking
 57    I, 6   |        all-nourishing and creating God, proceed to the already
 58    I, 6   |     new-born babe is elaborated by God, the nourisher and the Father
 59    I, 6   |        Jesus--that is, the Word of God, the Spirit made flesh,
 60    I, 6   |           by Him, we, believing on God, flee to the Word, "the

 65    I, 7   |         learning of the service of God, and training in the knowledge
 66    I, 7   |            instruction which is of God is the right direction of
 67    I, 7   |            to the contemplation of God, and the exhibition of holy
 68    I, 7   |        accordance with reason from God to be done for us, will
 69    I, 7   |         our Instructor is the holy God Jesus, the Word, who is
 70    I, 7   |           all humanity. The loving God Himself is our Instructor.
 71    I, 7   |           and there was no strange god with them." Clearly, I trow,
 72    I, 7   |     Instructor: "I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of
 73    I, 7   |         and said to him, "I am thy God, be accepted before Me;"
 74    I, 7   |           as yet unnamed, the Lord God not having yet become man.
 75    I, 7   |        name of the place, "Face of God." "For I have seen," he
 76    I, 7   |            I have seen," he says, "God face to face; and my life
 77    I, 7   |            preserved." The face of God is the Word by whom God
 78    I, 7   |            God is the Word by whom God is manifested and made known.
 79    I, 7   |       named Israel, because he saw God the Lord. It was God, the
 80    I, 7   |           saw God the Lord. It was God, the Word, the Instructor,
 81    I, 7   |           Thou shalt fear the Lord God;" but to us He has addressed
 82    I, 7   |            shalt love the Lord thy God." Wherefore also this is
 83    I, 7   |             destined in the eye of God to faith before the foundation
 84    I, 7   |          fulfilment of the will of God, according to which we are
 85    I, 7   |            says he, "like Me shall God raise up to you of your
 86    I, 7   |      pointing out Jesus the Son of God, by an allusion to Jesus
 87    I, 8   |       existence is not supplied by God. Nothing, then, is hated
 88    I, 8   |         Nothing, then, is hated by God, nor yet by the Word. For
 89    I, 8   |         For both are one--that is, God. For He has said, "In the
 90    I, 8   |          beginning the Word was in God, and the Word was God."
 91    I, 8   |           in God, and the Word was God." If then He hates none
 92    I, 8   |        God-loving being. Therefore God is loving; consequently
 93    I, 8   |         Good, then, does good. And God is admitted to be good.
 94    I, 8   |            is admitted to be good. God therefore does good. And
 95    I, 8   |         than do good. Consequently God does all good. And He does
 96    I, 8   |         But nothing is better than God. And to do good purposely,
 97    I, 8   |          than to take care of man. God therefore cares for man,
 98    I, 8   |           is the true coadjutor of God's love to man. But the good
 99    I, 8   |        Moses," Be of good courage: God has drawn near to try you,
100    I, 8   |            on its prey devours it. God, then, is good. And the
101    I, 8   |            says the Scripture. And God does not inflict punishment
102    I, 8   |         lies with him who chooses. God is without blame. "But if
103    I, 8   |       commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God
104    I, 8   |         God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous, who taketh
105    I, 8   | unrighteous, who taketh vengeance? God forbid." He says, therefore,
106    I, 8   |            have overthrown you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah;
107    I, 8   |          saith the LORD."~ See how God, through His love of goodness,
108    I, 8   |           goodness and severity of God: on them that fell severity;
109    I, 8   |     despitefully use us." But that God is good, all willingly admit;
110    I, 8   |           admit; and that the same God is just, I require not many
111    I, 8   |           be made perfect in one." God is one, and beyond the one
112    I, 8   | demonstrative emphasis, points out God, who alone truly is, "who
113    I, 8   |           And that He who alone is God is also alone and truly
114    I, 8   |               a good balance, even God having made known to us
115    I, 8   |            by even scales, we know God. Of this also the book of
116    I, 8   |            reproved. Now, that the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
117    I, 8   |         Him to be one and the same God, thus. For the Holy Spirit
118    I, 8   |           now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested;"
119    I, 8   |         you may better conceive of God, "even the righteousness
120    I, 8   |          even the righteousness of God by the faith of Jesus Christ
121    I, 8   |         through the forbearance of God, in order to show that He
122    I, 8   |           veritably clear that the God of all is only one good,
123    I, 8   |            is full of love to man, God condescending to emotion
124    I, 8   |        whose sake also the Word of God became man.~
125    I, 9   |        Israel means, "he that sees God"--that is, he that understands
126    I, 9   |            is, he that understands God. Complaint is censure of
127    I, 9   |          fearful, if he that knows God, shall not recognise the
128    I, 9   |          rebuke. For he that knows God, how does he persecute God'
129    I, 9   |         God, how does he persecute God's servants? Wherefore He

141    I, 9   |           and all is He; for He is God, the only God. For as the

144    I, 9   |           He became Creator He was God; He was good. And therefore
145    I, 9   |          good. But do you not obey God ? Then blame yourself, who

199   II, 4   |        king in his thanksgiving to God. "Rejoice in the Lord, ye

204   II, 8   |        when he said, "thanks be to God, who always makes us to
