And we 102 I, II, 6| into parts, and who divide God the Father as far as they 103 I, II, 6| the image of the invisible God, inasmuch as compared with 104 I, II, 7| brightness of the glory of God, and the express figure 105 I, II, 7| this. According to John, "God is light." The only-begotten 106 I, II, 7| proceeding inseparably from (God) Himself, as brightness 107 I, II, 8| person besides the person of God Himself, whatever be the 108 I, II, 8| then, whether the Son of God, seeing He is His Word and 109 I, II, 8| this very point of making God to be understood and acknowledged, 110 I, II, 8| others the means by which God is acknowledged and understood 111 I, II, 8| figure of the person of God. In order, however, to arrive 112 I, II, 8| person or subsistence of God, let us take an instance, 113 I, II, 8| to show that the Son of God, who was in the form of 114 I, II, 8| who was in the form of God, divesting Himself (of His 115 I, II, 8| such similitude, the Son of God, divesting Himself of His 116 I, II, 8| to show that the Son of God, though placed in the very 117 I, II, 9| of breath of the power of God, and the purest efflux of 118 I, II, 9| the working or power of God, and the image of His goodness." 119 I, II, 9| definitions which he gives of God, pointing out by each one 120 I, II, 9| belong to the Wisdom of God, calling wisdom the power, 121 I, II, 9| working, and the goodness of God. He does not say, however, 122 I, II, 9| the breath of the power of God. Now, by the power of God 123 I, II, 9| God. Now, by the power of God is to be understood that 124 I, II, 9| mind, yet even this will of God is nevertheless made to 125 I, II, 9| made to become the power of God. ~Another power accordingly 126 I, II, 9| and unbegotten power of God, deriving from Him its being, 127 I, II, 9| proceeded from the power of God, we shall ask him again, 128 I, II, 9| this conclusion, that as God was always possessed of 129 I, II, 9| shown that that breath of God's power always existed, 130 I, II, 9| having no beginning save God Himself. Nor was it fitting 131 I, II, 9| any other beginning save God Himself, from whom it derives 132 I, II, 9| Christ "is the power of God," it ought to be termed 133 I, II, 9| the breath of the power of God, but power out of power.~ 134 I, II, 10| glory of the omnipotent God is, and then we shall also 135 I, II, 10| possessing a servant, so even God cannot be called omnipotent 136 I, II, 10| power; and therefore, that God may be shown to be almighty, 137 I, II, 10| during those ages or periods God was not omnipotent, but 138 I, II, 10| otherwise than absurd, that when God possessed none of those 139 I, II, 10| Omnipotent was anterior in God to the birth of Wisdom, 140 I, II, 10| Wisdom, which is the Son of God, is the purest efflux of 141 I, II, 10| the title of Omnipotent in God cannot be older than that 142 I, II, 10| that Wisdom, through which God is called omnipotent, has 143 I, II, 10| Wisdom, which is Christ, God has power over all things, 144 I, II, 10| is one and the same, as God and the Lord are one and 145 I, II, 10| Apocalypse: "Thus saith the Lord God, which is, and which was, 146 I, II, 10| ought to be offended, seeing God is the Father, that the 147 I, II, 10| that the Saviour is also God; so also, since the Father 148 I, II, 10| offended that the Son of God is also cared omnipotent. 149 I, II, 10| Jesus is in the glory of God the Father." Therefore He 150 I, II, 10| the efflux of the glory of God in this respect, that He 151 I, II, 10| shall add the following. God the Father is omnipotent, 152 I, II, 10| pure. But the Wisdom of God, which is His only-begotten 153 I, II, 11| John when he says that "God is light." Now His wisdom 154 I, II, 11| except, as we have said, from God Himself.~ 155 I, II, 12| e0ne/rgeia or working of God. We must first understand, 156 I, II, 12| working of the power of God is. It is a sort of vigour, 157 I, II, 12| vigour, so to speak, by which God operates either in creation, 158 I, II, 12| also, who is the Wisdom of God, declares of Himself when 159 I, II, 13| none good save one only, God the Father," that by such 160 I, II, 13| none good save one only, God the Father," as if thereby 161 I, II, 13| understood as residing in God the Father, from whom both 162 I, II, 13| the titles of the Son of God, such, e.g., as the true 163 I, III, 1| Providence, confess that God, who created and disposed 164 I, III, 1| by the word or reason of God. We, however, in conformity 165 I, III, 1| diviner reason as the Son of God, than by means of those 166 I, III, 1| speak with certainty of God the Father, it is nevertheless 167 I, III, 1| with respect to the Son of God, although no one knoweth 168 I, III, 2| joining to the unbegotten God the Father, and to His only-begotten 169 I, III, 3| all things were created by God, and that there is no creature 170 I, III, 3| a matter co-eternal with God, or of unbegotten souls, 171 I, III, 3| they would have it that God implanted not so much the 172 I, III, 3| believe that there is one God who created and arranged 173 I, III, 3| appellations of the Son of God. The Spirit of God, therefore, 174 I, III, 3| Son of God. The Spirit of God, therefore, which was borne 175 I, III, 4| Spirit, receiving it from God. My Hebrew master also used 176 I, III, 4| holy, holy, is the Loan God of hosts," were to be understood 177 I, III, 4| the only-begotten Son of God and of the Holy Spirit. 178 I, III, 4| ground of the knowledge of God the Father. For as it is 179 I, III, 4| Spirit, when He declares, "God hath revealed them to us 180 I, III, 4| even the deep things of God; " and again in the Gospel, 181 I, III, 4| searches the deep things of God, reveals God to whom He 182 I, III, 4| deep things of God, reveals God to whom He will: "For the 183 I, III, 5| he who is regenerated by God unto salvation has to do 184 I, III, 5| actions, and who abide in God.~ 185 I, III, 6| which participation in God the Father is shared both 186 I, III, 6| not without communion with God, is taught in the Gospel 187 I, III, 6| s words: "The kingdom of God cometh not with observation; 188 I, III, 6| there! but the kingdom of God is within you." But here 189 I, III, 6| all men have a share in God.~ 190 I, III, 7| spoken of the Spirit of God, since Adam also is found 191 I, III, 7| corrupter their way before God, it is recorded that God 192 I, III, 7| God, it is recorded that God spoke thus, as of undeserving 193 I, III, 7| shown that the Spirit of God is taken away from all who 194 I, III, 7| working of the power of God the Father and of the Son 195 I, III, 7| of the word or reason of God cease to live agreeably 196 I, III, 7| also a special working of God the Father, besides that 197 I, III, 7| operations, but it is the same God who worketh all in all. 198 I, III, 7| the Son, and operated by God the Father. "But all these 199 I, III, 8| we began the discussion. God the Father bestows upon 200 I, III, 8| derive their existence from God the Father; secondly, their 201 I, III, 8| is the righteousness of God; and those who have earned 202 I, III, 8| working of the Spirit of God. And this I consider is 203 I, III, 8| diversities of operations, but one God who worketh all in all." 204 I, III, 8| nature which he received from God may become such as is worthy 205 I, III, 8| to be, will receive from God power always to exist, and 206 I, III, 8| they capable of receiving God. In this way, then, by the 207 I, IV, 1| knowledge and wisdom of God, whose learning and diligence 208 I, IV, 2| with the permission of God through Jesus Christ and 209 I, V, 1| are certain holy angels of God whom Paul terms "ministering 210 I, V, 2| also described as Enemy of God, is mentioned in many passages 211 I, V, 2| number of the angels of God." And therefore, with other 212 I, V, 3| let us inquire whether God, the creator and founder 213 I, V, 3| moment of their creation by God to exercise power over some 214 I, V, 4| placed in the paradise of God, and adorned also with a 215 I, V, 4| stainless in the paradise of God: and how can any one suppose 216 I, V, 4| him, Thus saith the Lord God, Thou, hast been the seal 217 I, V, 4| thee in the holy mount of God. Thou weft in the midst 218 I, V, 4| wounded from the mount of God. And a cherub drove thee 219 I, V, 4| thee in the holy mount of God," can so enfeeble the meaning 220 I, VI, 1| for his sins; a time which God alone knows, when He will 221 I, VI, 1| indeed, that the goodness of God, through His Christ, may 222 I, VI, 1| my soul be subject unto God? From Him cometh my salvation." ~ 223 I, VI, 2| all things are subject) to God the Father; let us, I say, 224 I, VI, 2| through the goodness of God, and by subjection to Christ, 225 I, VI, 2| by essential being, as in God and His Christ, and in the 226 I, VI, 2| judgment of the providence of God, that it should happen to 227 I, VI, 2| participation and imitation of God. But those who have been 228 I, VI, 2| Lord Jesus in His prayer to God the Father on behalf of 229 I, VI, 4| subjected, and in which God is said to be "all and in 230 I, VI, 4| known with certainty to God alone, and to those who 231 I, VII, 1| all things were made by God through Christ, as John 232 I, VII, 1| Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The 233 I, VII, 1| with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning 234 I, VII, 1| was in the beginning with God. All things were made by 235 I, VII, 3| receive commandments from God, which is ordinarily the 236 I, VII, 4| mentioned in Scripture, when "God made two great lights, the 237 I, VII, 4| is said to be known to God, and was sanctified by Him 238 I, VII, 4| perhaps, may think that God fills individuals with His 239 I, VII, 4| there unrighteousness with God? God forbid!" or this : " 240 I, VII, 4| unrighteousness with God? God forbid!" or this : "Is there 241 I, VII, 4| respect of persons with God? " For such is the defence 242 I, VII, 5| liberty of the children of God." To what vanity, pray, 243 I, VII, 5| manifestation of the sons of God." And again in another passage, " 244 I, VII, 5| the glorious redemption of God's children should have arrived. 245 I, VII, 5| manifestation of the sons of God." The same views are to 246 I, VII, 5| delivered up the kingdom to God even the Father, then also 247 I, VII, 5| of the Father, that when God shall be all in all, they 248 I, VII, 5| of all things, may have God in themselves, as He is 249 I, VIII, 1| appropriate and just decision of God, who arranged them according 250 I, VIII, 1| daily behold the face of God must be assigned to each 251 I, VIII, 1| round about them that fear God. All of which things, assuredly, 252 I, VIII, 1| that they were conferred by God, the just and impartial 253 I, VIII, 2| persecuted the Church of God, and Peter to have committed 254 I, VIII, 2| persecuted the Church of God?

According to this view, 275 II, I, 4| these maintain, saying that God could not create anything 276 II, I, 4| did not exist, and that God, when nothing formerly existed, 277 II, I, 4| why are we to suppose that God would create matter either 278 II, I, 4| believed to be formed by God, would doubtless be found 279 II, I, 5| beholding these, to know that God made all these things when 280 II, I, 5| believe that there is one God who created and arranged 281 II, II, 2| adorns either the angels of God or the sons of the resurrection 282 II, II, 2| all reverence and fear of God, to examine the sacred Scriptures 283 II, III, 1| shall be delivered up to God, even the Father; which 284 II, III, 1| intellectual natures provoked God to produce this diverse 285 II, III, 1| unwilling to obey the word of God, but a process through which, 286 II, III, 2| on account of the Word of God and His wisdom, is now named 287 II, III, 2| is the Wisdom and Word of God.

And when 338 II, IV, 2| when Paul says, "I thank my God, whom I serve my spirit 339 II, IV, 2| he came not to some new God, but to Christ. For what 340 II, IV, 2| letters of Paul, viz., what God he preaches? For his words 341 II, IV, 2| set apart to the Gospel of God, which He had promised afore 342 II, IV, 2| declared to be the Son of God with power, according to 343 II, IV, 2| treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? or saith 344 II, IV, 2| he manifestly shows that God, who gave the law on our 345 II, IV, 2| land, which the Lord thy God will give thee." By which 346 II, IV, 2| known that the law, and the God of the law, and His promises, 347 II, IV, 3| that "no man hath seen God at any time." But that God 348 II, IV, 3| God at any time." But that God whom Moses preaches was 349 II, IV, 3| whom they acknowledge to be God, and allege to be a different 350 II, IV, 3| allege to be a different God from the Creator, is visible 351 II, IV, 3| the image of the invisible God, the first-born of every 352 II, IV, 3| absurdity of asserting that God is corporeal. For nothing 353 II, IV, 3| properties of bodies. And if God is declared to be a body, 354 II, IV, 3| then, according to them, God is liable to corruption! 355 II, IV, 3| one portion of matter is God, and the other part the 356 II, IV, 3| whom they declare to be God to have been made!-a result 357 II, IV, 3| admit. But they will say, God is invisible. And what will 358 II, IV, 3| Whereas, on the contrary, God, the Father of Christ, is 359 II, IV, 3| be supposed to have seen God, not beholding Him with 360 II, IV, 3| anterior and posterior parts of God. Let no one indeed suppose 361 II, IV, 4| the Old Testament, as when God is said to be angry or to 362 II, IV, 4| refuting us, who maintain that God is altogether impassible, 363 II, IV, 4| the New of the anger of God, we do not take such expressions 364 II, IV, 4| meaning, that we may think of God as He deserves to be thought 365 II, V, 1| Christ is indeed a good God, but not a just one, whereas 366 II, V, 1| a just one, whereas the God of the law and the prophets 367 II, V, 1| to their view, the just God does not appear to wish 368 II, V, 1| that no one is good save God the Father only; and by 369 II, V, 1| Saviour Jesus Christ a good God, but to say that the God 370 II, V, 1| God, but to say that the God of the world is a different 371 II, V, 2| view, the work of the good God? Even the Saviour Himself, 372 II, V, 2| Himself, the Son of the good God, protests in the Gospels, 373 II, V, 2| the character of a just God who rewards according to 374 II, V, 2| be understood of the good God, i.e., either of Christ 375 II, V, 2| bring against the justice of God's judgment? Nay, what else 376 II, V, 2| charged by them against the God of the law as to order him 377 II, V, 3| can speak of virtues in God, or, as they think, in these 378 II, V, 3| themselves by saying that that God who rewards every one according 379 II, V, 3| awaited the long-suffering of God in the days of Noah, when 380 II, V, 3| put to death, they sought God. By all which it is established, 381 II, V, 3| is established, that the God of the law and the Gospels 382 II, V, 3| the same, a just and good God, and that He confers benefits 383 II, V, 3| absurdity, that to a good God one should be opposed that 384 II, V, 3| is evil; while to a just God, whom they allege to be 385 II, V, 4| is believed to be a good God. But if it be just rather 386 II, V, 4| just rather than good, then God also will be considered 387 II, V, 4| been instructed by that God, and illuminated by His 388 II, V, 4| good made death unto me? God forbid." As he knew that 389 II, V, 4| There is none good but one, God the Father." This word they 390 II, V, 4| however, is different from the God who is Creator of all things, 391 II, V, 4| in the Old Testament, the God of the prophets and the 392 II, V, 4| the Psalms? "How good is God to Israel, to the upright 393 II, V, 4| seeketh Him." As therefore God is frequently called good 394 II, V, 4| is ignorant of the good God alone. For the word unquestionably 395 II, V, 4| consider to be the good God, is called just in the Gospels. 396 II, VI, 1| between all created things and God, i.e., a Mediator, whom 397 II, VI, 1| image of the invisible God, and the first-born of every 398 II, VI, 1| things, alone having as head God the Father; for it is written, " 399 II, VI, 1| The head of Christ is God; " seeing clearly also that 400 II, VI, 1| nature of His Word, and of God Himself, which nature proceeds 401 II, VI, 1| which nature proceeds from God, except God alone, with 402 II, VI, 1| proceeds from God, except God alone, with whom the Word 403 II, VI, 1| and majesty of the Son of God. For it is impossible to 404 II, VI, 1| the being of the Son of God, we are lost in the deepest 405 II, VI, 2| and that very wisdom of God, in which were created all 406 II, VI, 2| nay, that the Wisdom of God can have entered the womb 407 II, VI, 2| to turn. If it think of a God, it goes a mortal; if it 408 II, VI, 3| 3. The Only-begotten of God, therefore, through whom, 409 II, VI, 3| invisible image of the invisible God, He conveyed invisibly a 410 II, VI, 3| being the Wisdom and Word of God, and the Truth and the true 411 II, VI, 3| being intermediate between God and the flesh-it being impossible 412 II, VI, 3| impossible for the nature of God to intermingle with a body 413 II, VI, 3| rational existence, to receive God, into whom, as stated above, 414 II, VI, 3| had assumed, the Son of God, and the Power of God, the 415 II, VI, 3| of God, and the Power of God, the Christ, and the Wisdom 416 II, VI, 3| Christ, and the Wisdom of God, either because it was wholly 417 II, VI, 3| was wholly in the Son of God, or because it received 418 II, VI, 3| because it received the Son of God wholly into itself. And 419 II, VI, 3| itself. And again, the Son of God, through whom all things 420 II, VI, 3| Son of man. For the Son of God also is said to have died-in 421 II, VI, 3| to come in the glory of God the Father, with the holy 422 II, VI, 3| flesh." For the Word of God is to be considered as being 423 II, VI, 3| be also one spirit with God, than to this soul which 424 II, VI, 3| has so joined itself to God by love as that it may justly 425 II, VI, 4| this inseparable union with God, so that the assumption 426 II, VI, 4| hated wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed 427 II, VI, 4| wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with 428 II, VI, 4| Christ along with the Word of God is made Christ. Because 429 II, VI, 4| essential fulness of the Word of God Himself was in it, according 430 II, VI, 6| Wisdom, and perpetually in God, is God in all that it does, 431 II, VI, 6| and perpetually in God, is God in all that it does, feels, 432 II, VI, 6| its union with the Word of God. To all the saints, finally, 433 II, VI, 6| warmth from the Word of God must be supposed to have 434 II, VI, 6| Lastly, the expression, "God, thy God, anointed thee 435 II, VI, 6| the expression, "God, thy God, anointed thee with the 436 II, VI, 6| i.e., with the word of God and wisdom; and his fellows, 437 II, VI, 7| nature of the wisdom of God in him, which was the same 438 II, VI, 7| life is hid with Christ in God; " and again in another 439 II, VI, 7| says that Christ was hid in God. The meaning of which expression, 440 II, VI, 7| deserve to behold the glory of God, and the causes and truth 441 II, VII, 1| and show that the same God was the creator and founder 442 II, VII, 1| Jesus Christ, i.e., that the God of the law and of the prophets 443 II, VII, 1| be the Word and Wisdom of God became man; it remains that 444 II, VII, 1| Paraclete. For as it is the same God Himself, and the same Christ, 445 II, VII, 1| in those who believed in God before the advent of Christ, 446 II, VII, 1| Christ have sought refuge in God. We have heard, indeed, 447 II, VII, 1| describe the nature of the good God as one, and that of the 448 II, VII, 1| one, and that of the just God as another, what will he 449 II, VII, 2| Wisdom and of the Word of God. I observe, however, that 450 II, VII, 2| that answers were given by God to Moses on these points. 451 II, VII, 4| clinging to the Word of God and His wisdom, he through 452 II, VIII, 1| added, when it is said that "God made great whales, and every 453 II, VIII, 1| however, is manifest, when God says, "Let the earth bring 454 II, VIII, 1| Scripture declares that "God breathed into his countenance 455 II, VIII, 1| spirits that are ministers of God, either possess souls or 456 II, VIII, 1| life. But with regard to God, we find it written as follows: " 457 II, VIII, 1| me; look to my defence: O God, deliver my soul from the 458 II, VIII, 2| in Scripture the soul of God is to be understood; for 459 II, VIII, 2| to be named the soul of God; whereas regarding Christ 460 II, VIII, 2| things of the Spirit of God, but declares that the doctrine 461 II, VIII, 2| because it was so created by God, will form the subject of 462 II, VIII, 2| things of the Spirit of God, and because he is animal, 463 II, VIII, 3| For in sacred language God is called a fire, as when 464 II, VIII, 3| when Scripture says," Our God is a consuming fire." Respecting 465 II, VIII, 3| undoubtedly the Word of God is shown to be hot and fiery. 466 II, VIII, 3| into thy mouth a fire." As God, then, is a fire, and the 467 II, VIII, 3| fallen away from the love of God are undoubtedly said to 468 II, VIII, 5| said to be also a soul of God? "To which we answer as 469 II, VIII, 5| corporeal which is spoken of God, such as fingers, or hands, 470 II, VIII, 5| out by this title-soul of God. And if it is allowable 471 II, VIII, 5| such a subject, the soul of God may perhaps be understood 472 II, VIII, 5| the only-begotten Son of God. For as the soul, when implanted 473 II, VIII, 5| the only-begotten Son of God, who is His Word and Wisdom, 474 II, VIII, 5| extends to every power of God, being implanted in it; 475 II, VIII, 5| indicate this mystery is God either called Or described 476 II, VIII, 5| account that the soul of God may be understood to mean 477 II, IX, 1| beginning of the creation of God. In that commencement, then, 478 II, IX, 1| we are to suppose that God created so great a number 479 II, IX, 1| restrained nor administered by God. For, naturally, whatever 480 II, IX, 1| Moreover, as Scripture says, "God has arranged all things 481 II, IX, 1| governed, and controlled by God.

For it did not always exist; 486 II, IX, 4| Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God: the 487 II, IX, 4| with God, and the Word was God: the same was in the beginning 488 II, IX, 4| was in the beginning with God: all things were made by 489 II, IX, 4| the only-begotten Son of God, and who, pouring Himself 490 II, IX, 5| explained that it was created by God, and when we say that this 491 II, IX, 5| and when we say that this God is good, and righteous, 492 II, IX, 5| consist with the justice of God in creating the word to 493 II, IX, 5| briefly, if the Creator God wants neither the will to 494 II, IX, 5| and is said to be loved by God before he is born.
