33 2, V | man has murdered another man - what was his motive? Either
34 2, V | to be revenged. Would a man commit murder without a

58 4, III | all this in order that a man, who is only flesh and blood

93 5, IV | thoughts.~For just as that man who knows how to possess
94 5, IV | spreads - is better than the man who can measure it and count
95 5, IV | Creator: just so is a faithful man who possesses the world’
96 5, IV | doubt that this faithful man may truly be better than

106 5, VII | my acquaintance with that man. I did not wholly separate
107 5, VII | it: for “the steps of a man are ordered by the Lord,
108 5, X | hearers” only, such as the man was in whose house I had
109 5, X | and in maintaining that man does not have the power
110 5, XIII | in full knowledge. That man of God received me as a
111 5, XIII | Church - but as a friendly man. And I studiously listened
112 5, XIV | finding a clear path from man to thee - yet, along with

115 6, III | himself I esteemed a happy man, as the world counted happiness,
116 6, III | was doubtless, in such a man, a good one. ~4. But actually
117 6, III | that the statement that man was made after the image

124 6, VII | sake. And what any other man would have taken as an occasion
125 6, VII | against me, this worthy young man took as a reason for being

127 6, VIII | was now no longer the same man who came in, but was one

157 6, XIX | wisdom to whom no other man could be compared - especially
158 6, XIX | I acknowledged a perfect man to be in Christ - not the
159 6, XIX | Christ - not the body of a man only, nor, in the body,

161 6, XIX | but a true man. And this man I held to be superior to
162 6, XXI | possessing thee. For although a man may “delight in the law

207 9, V | judgest me. For although no man “knows the things of a man,
208 9, V | man “knows the things of a man, save the spirit of the
209 9, V | save the spirit of the man which is in him,”327 yet
210 9, V | yet there is something of man which “the spirit of the

215 9, VI | the ministry of the outer man, and I, the inner man, knew

224 9, XVII | great the power of life in man whose life is mortal! What,
225 9, XIX | we see or think of some man we know, and, having forgotten

231 9, XXVIII | endurance. Is not the life of man upon the earth an ordeal,
232 9, XXXI | put far from me. For no man can be continent unless
233 9, XXXI | and that thou didst create man out of the dust,359 and
234 9, XXXI | command what thou wilt. This man [Paul] confesses that he

236 9, XXXI | to God”365; and that “no man should judge us in meat

238 9, XXXII | brings it to light. Thus no man ought to feel secure in
239 9, XXXII | ordeal, ordered so that the man who could be made better
240 9, XXXIV | it in their sleep. Such a man I desire to be. I resist
241 9, XXXV | for the salvation of any man, the end I aim at is something
242 9, XXXVI | nor when the unrighteous man is blessed in his unrighteousness -
243 9, XXXVI | his unrighteousness - a man is praised for some gift

291 12, XI | contend and strive, but no man sees the vision of it without

294 12, XV | other books that so destroy man’s pride, that so break down
295 12, XVIII | the years of the righteous man. But thou art always the
296 12, XVIII | work, dividing to every man his own portion, as He wills,
297 12, XVIII | perfect.594 Still the natural man - as a babe in Christ, and

303 12, XXII | the example of a better man - for thou didst not say, “
304 12, XXII | thou didst not say, “Let man be made after his kind,”
305 12, XXII | but rather, “Let us make man in our own image and our

317 12, XXIII | this way, even though a man is now spiritual and renewed

322 12, XXIV | this gift of blessing upon man alone, if thou hadst not
