 1     II|       opinion that Christ was not born.~
 2    III|          have supposed that being born was either impossible for
 3    III|           whether He willed to be born (for if He had the will,
 4    III|       also had the power, and was born). I put the argument very
 5    III|          God had willed not to be born, it matters not why, He
 6    III|       would deny that he had been born? What God therefore willed
 7    III|         supposed that He had been born, because they saw Him as
 8    III|     supposition that He was truly born; for if He were not born,
 9    III|          born; for if He were not born, He could not have undertaken
10    III|          to sustain, although not born, the character of having
11    III|          character of having been born even against! His own consciousness!
12    III| apprehension that, if He had been born and truly clothed Himself
13    III|         man in such wise as to be born and endued with a body of
14     IV|         yet, in what way were you born? You detest a human being
15     IV|     yourself, or even if you were born in a way different from
16     IV|         sure, He had chosen to be born of a mere animal, and were
17     IV|  believing in a God that has been born, and that of a virgin, and
18      V|         shame, that God should be born, or that He should die?
19      V|        flesh which knew how to be born, and how to die, human without
20      V|           human without doubt, as born of a human being. It will
21      V|          God, ---- in one respect born, in the other unborn; in
22      V|         me, He chose rather to be born, than in any part to pretend ----

24     VI|        flesh which was not at all born. So we have found our way "
25     VI|           but without having been born. [2] To this angel, indeed,
26     VI|         His flesh, if it were not born? Inasmuch as that which
27     VI|         Inasmuch as that which is born must undergo this nativity
28     VI|            declaring it to be not born, and yet flesh for all that,
29     VI|        they also (came not) to be born. [6] Christ, however, having
30     VI|        had necessarily to be also born, that He might be capable
31     VI|           dying but that which is born. Between nativity and mortality
32     VI|         is the cause of our being born. [7] Now, since Christ died
33     VI|     undergoes death which is also born, the consequence was ----
34     VI|            that He must have been born also, by reason of the condition
35     VI|         fitting for Him not to be born under the pretence that
36     VI|        those angels without being born, and yet in the flesh without
37     VI|        flesh which as yet was not born, because it did not yet
38    VII|         deny that God Himself was born, on the ground that He asked, "
39    VII|         sure, whether He had been born or not? For if this point

41     XI|           of doubt whether it was born or not. The soul, therefore (
42    XII|          an invisible essence, is born and dies, unless it were
43     XV|        was not human, and was not born of man, I do not see of
44     XV|            it should be similarly born, not of the Spirit, nor
45     XV|            moreover, should it be born, not of corruptible [seed],
46     XV|          being which has died was born of an incorruptible substance;
47  XXVII|        for the Son of God's being born of a virgin. He who was
48  XXVII|         of birth, must Himself be born after a novel fashion, concerning
49  XXVII|        the new nativity; a man is born in God. And in this man
50  XXVII|           And in this man God was born, taking the flesh of an
51  XXVII|      ancient type, the Lord being born as man by a dispensation
52 XXVIII|          the Son of God should be born of a human father's seed,
53 XXVIII|         so likewise, after He was born of the virgin, He was able
54 XXVIII|        required that He should be born of a virgin, why should
55 XXVIII|        pronounced, "that which is born of the flesh is flesh,"
56 XXVIII|        flesh," even because it is born of the flesh. But if He
57 XXVIII|           He adds, "That which is born of the Spirit is spirit,"
58 XXVIII|           is a Spirit, and He was born of God. [6] Now this description
59 XXVIII|         is God the Spirit, and is born of God; just as He is also
60 XXVIII|           God; just as He is also born of the flesh of man, being

63    XIX|      principle of the human race, born of blood, and of the will

74     XX|         to Joseph, "That which is born in her" (not of her) "is
75     XX|      husband of Mary, of whom was born Christ." But Paul, too,

77     XX|         novelty of Christ's being born of a virgin. It was simply
78     XX|         simply this, that (He was born) of a virgin in the real
79     XX|         the flesh, in that He was born of a virgin's flesh.~
