But just as he who gives a cup of cold water has 705 I, 4 | sobriety he rejoices and is glad, and applies his remedies 706 I, 13 | and runaway slaves, and gladiators: but should any comely, 707 I, 1 | holier than that; for it glistened not with gold and silver, 708 I, 11 | beautiful, and just as gold glistens more brightly than lead, 709 I, 6 | also see the martyrs obtain glorious crowns for themselves in 710 I, 9 | fire unquenchable, to the gnashing of teeth, to the outer darkness, 711 I, 17 | already arrived at the very goal of virtue.~This man indeed 712 I, 1(2) | the name Qeoqo/roj, "the God-hearer, " which was probably given 713 I, 12 | shall be darkened in its going down,38 and the moon shall 714 I, 18 | would do nothing that thy goodness should not be as of necessity, 715 I, 18 | unto me in the bonds of the Gospel; but without thy mind I 716 I, 13 | Himself made dear in the Gospels saying, "O Jerusalem!

And that which all 724 II, 1 | possible to express tears and groans by means of writing I would 725 I, 14 | grace of this kind?

Thou gavest 737 I, 12 | the road to the fire, and haled away to the instruments 738 I, 12 | again "windows" he saith "hall be opened from the Heaven, 739 I, 2(7) | heavier than the common hand-mill. So in Matt. xviii. 6. ~ 740 I, 17 | those entanglements, they handed him over again to his former 741 I, 17 | because he wished to get some handle and pretext for returning 742 II, 4 | the danger which often hangs over us imperilling even 743 I, 1 | were before, but even much happier. Only be not downcast, nor 744 I, 14 | possession, nor such great happiness, and especially when the 745 I, 12 | the palace, we count those happy who are near him, and have 746 II, 1 | wast sailing out of the harbor, not when thou hadst returned 747 I, 16 | beginning. For the task which is hard and difficult of accomplishment 748 I, 6 | ye will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the 749 I, 13 | ugly and shameless would hardly be accepted by prize-fighters, 750 I, 5 | dismay, and undo all his hardness of heart, did what was greater 751 I, 17 | he had intercourse with a harlot there, he waited until he 752 I, 13 | noble condition into the harlotry of this present life. And 753 I, 11 | saints, all being ever in harmony with one another. It is 754 I, 3 | extinguished, who can be so harsh and unsympathetic as to 755 II, 1 | but to rasp the knees and hasten to the feet of the brethren 756 II, 2 | heavy ones, but immediately hastened to the physician, and applied 757 I, 13 | contemned, how He again hastens forward and pursues the 758 I, 9 | come, and at the same time hastily departed. However, if you 759 I, 7 | order our conscience as to hate our former wickedness, and 760 I, 14 | of the whole world, the hatred of his own people, the frequent 761 I, 3 | right position, and fallen headlong out of the straight path, 762 I, 12 | shame, and veiling their heads, and bending them low, but 763 I, 19 | of a reputation for the hearers for candor of speech.

But I hearkened to none of them. For there 767 I, 1 | of the prophet; when he hears that barbarian hands have 768 I, 11 | evening there, nor cold nor heat, nor any other variation 769 I, 10 | in a bath which has been heated more than it ought to be, 770 II, 3 | soul" is the saying of a heathen poet. I know that thou hast 771 I, 12(36)| Heb. i. 3. The other expressions 772 I, 12(45)| closer rendering of the Hebrew than the LXX. ~ 773 I, 15 | from efforts, and become as heedless as if matters were desperate; 774 II, 2 | by others? But it did not help Adam in his defence to screen 775 I, 13 | children together even as a hen gathereth her chickens under 776 I, 5 | the whole world a clear herald and teacher of this doctrine.11 777 I, 14 | now admiring the grace of Hermione, and thou judgest that there 778 I, 9 | opposite directio, why do you hesitate, and shrink, and make a 779 I, 13 | break down the barrier, and hew it in pieces, and destroy 780 I, 19 | cuts one of these off, and hews it in pieces, he will easily 781 I, 14 | thy son."61 And again when Hezekiah was about to run the greatest 782 II, 5 | waves, others running upon hidden rocks, some hurrying in 783 I, 17 | and fearing, that if he hindered this he might drive him 784 I, 1 | so forcing it to stoop, hinders it from looking up to the 785 I, 7 | household slaves, strangers, and hirelings. Nevertheless he returned 786 I, 12 | the angels themselves are holden by much fear, and not angels 787 I, 18 | in the Lord? If then thou holdest me as a partner, receive 788 I, 1 | than those.

For if he had not honestly believed that He was the 792 II, 3 | marriage," we read, "is honourable and the bed undefiled; but 793 I, 7 | robe, and enjoyed greater honours than his brother who had 794 I, 12 | are full of amazement and horror and trembling: then even 795 II, 4 | wrought about the eleventh hour, and received the wages 796 I, 13 | thou not also that in the houses of prostitutes the women 797 I, 11 | of his soul thoughts of humility and subjection, and having 798 I, 14 | but phlegm, and blood, and humor, and bile, and the fluid 799 I, 10 | you propose a period of a hundred years or twice as long? 800 I, 2 | these things, yea, having hung the ponderous millstone7 801 II, 5 | upon hidden rocks, some hurrying in one direction, others 802 II, 3 | over her own body,but the husband, much more they who live 803 I, 18 | despair; but just as that husbandman who despairs of any crop 804 I, 19 | has been done, and all thy husbandry has been overwhelmed with 805 II, 5 | former is injurious to the husbands means, the latter to his 806 I, 17(72)| i.e., the life of monaotic seclusion. ~ 807 I, 14 | did aforetime, but lie in idleness and keep our hands to ourselves? 808 I, 1(2) | iii. 16, 17; and vi. 19.

Open then even now in imagination thine eyes, and look on 815 I, 12 | punishment also to the scene, and imagine men not only covered with 816 I, 1 | now set on fire, groan, imitating the lamentation of the prophet; 817 I, 13 | beauty, cunningly devise imitations by means of paints, and 818 I, 10 | have sinned must put on immortality, not for honour, but to 819 II, 1 | thee that thou art soon impeded, even at the outset. For 820 I, 16 | purer than pure gold, being impelled by their conscience, and 821 II, 4 | which often hangs over us imperilling even life itself, the labours, 822 I, 1 | plunge men into despair, but impiety of soul. Therefore Solomon 823 I, 5 | man who was so cruel and impious, and rather a beast than 824 I, 2 | of the cruel tyrant, and implacable enemy of our salvation; 825 I, 13 | from this vain occupation, implanted in us the power of working 826 I, 7 | prolonged. And the same truth is implied in the parable of the prodigal 827 I, 18 | and being absent I write," implies exactly that which we are 828 I, 2 | submerging thy unhappy soul, imposing on thyself this necessity 829 I, 9 | naturally seems difficult and impracticable to thee. For before making 830 II, 5 | able to do this, but he is impregnable; he is not stung by the 831 I, 19 | stand against this violent impulse. And these things are not 832 II, 3 | populace and to the irrational impulses of the multitude, and to 833 II, 2 | nature as the excuse, and inability to bear the yoke. And what 834 I, 1 | formerly, even as the Heaven is inaccessible to all these, so also was 835 I, 5 | and command offerings and incense to be sacrificed to Him 836 II, 5 | untimely death, there is inconsolable grief; and at every stage 837 I, 10 | received an incorruptible and inconsumable body there is nothing to 838 I, 14 | path which tend towards the incorporeal, are very much better and 839 I, 19 | breeds moths, and is in turn increased by them; so here also indolence 840 I, 1 | shall seem to say what is incredible to some who now witness 841 I, 10 | prevent the punishment being indefinitely extended. For here indeed 842 II, 5 | latter to his authority and independence. It is a grievous thing 843 I, 12 | witnesses, or proofs, but independently of all these things brings 844 I, 13 | dim kind of way, as one indicates great things by means of 845 I, 9 | old time. And by way of indicating both these truths He saith 846 II, 3 | private person no one would indict you for shunning to serve 847 I, 13 | their issue are matters of indifference, but of the things which 848 I, 11 | let us try and get some indistinct vision of it.
