68 XXI | Christ the Son of God to be God. He is the true Word, Who,
69 XXI | worshippers of the same God. But even the common people
70 XXI | yet is our conception of God different from that of the
71 XXI | words concerning Christ as God. So highly were the Jews
72 XXI | were the Jews favoured by God because of the conspicuous
73 XXI | forewarned by oracles of God which taught them how to

122 XXIV | will not allow the title of god, any more than that of emperor,

125 XXIV | any one who should kill a god of this kind. Every province
126 XXIV | also and state has its own god; as Syria has Atargatis,
127 XXIV | such as Delventinus, the god of the Casinienses, Visidianus
128 XXIV | because we do not worship a god of the Romans. Well is it
129 XXIV | Well is it that He is the God of all, Whose we all are,
