Wherefore none of the devices of the devil shall be hidden from you, if, like Paul, ye perfectly possess that faith and love towards Christ[102]

but, as less than any of you, I desire to guard you beforehand, that ye fall not upon the hooks of vain doctrine, but that ye attain to full assurance in regard to the birth, and passion, and resurrection which took place in the time of the government of Pontius Pilate, being truly and certainly accomplished by Jesus Christ, who is our hope,[76]

Let not those who seem worthy of credit, but teach strange doctrines,[20]

Such and so great is the patience of Christ; and had it not been such and so great, the Church would never have possessed Paul as an apostle.[19]

Where is the boasting of those who are styled prudent? For our God, Jesus Christ, was, according to the appointment[125]

Be not deceived with strange doctrines, "nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies,"[46]

as certain men have set the truth aside, and bring in lying words and vain genealogies, which, as the apostle says,[2]

which the unlearned receive, and those of slender knowledge have taught, not "giving heed to endless genealogies,"[71]

But in the few words there always arises certainty to him; nor is he permitted to give his inquiries a wider range than is compatible with their solution; for "endless questions" the apostle forbids.[18]

Such an opinion did the Valentinians assert of themselves. When again he mentions "endless genealogies,"[350]

infelicities of a dispersed and mutilated Deity, will that man hesitate at once to pronounce that these are "the fables and endless genealogies" which the inspired apostle[42]

which are the beginning and the end of life. For the beginning is faith, and the end is love.[97]

"Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned."[333]

but to every one that acts amiss[133]

"Desiring to be teachers of the law, they understand," says the apostle, "neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm."[332]

not accepting that interpretation of ours, may say that there were certain mentioned by Paul "desiring to be teachers of the law,"[260]

"And we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully."[331]

Why, then, did the Lord not form the covenant for the fathers? Because "the law was not established for righteous men."[197]

For when you take away the cause of fear, sin, you have taken away fear; and much more, punishment, when you have taken away that which gives rise to lust. "For the law is not made for the just man,"[10]

Wherefore also the commandments, according to the Law, and before the Law, not given to the upright (for the law is not appointed for a righteous man[14]

Now it is written that "the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners."[285]

of whom himself had been the "first," what does he add? "And I obtained mercy, because I did (so) ignorantly in unbelief."[230]

For one who errs by simplicity may be pardoned, as the blessed Apostle Paul says of himself, "I who at first was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious; yet obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly."[16]

For this (rule), even in his own person, the apostle has laid down. For, when affirming that Christ came for this end, that He might save sinners,[229]

Moreover, Paul, who himself also at a later time became an apostle of Jesus, says in his Epistle to Timothy, "This is a faithful saying, that Jesus Christ came into, the world to save sinners, of whom I am the chief."[125]

" That repentance, O sinner, like myself (nay, rather, less than myself, for pre-eminence in sins I acknowledge to be mine[23]

It was of Him, too, that he had said in a previous passage: "Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to the only God; "[185]

Of whom the same apostle, "Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory."[19]

But the time would fail us, ages and succeeding generations too, to render unto thee thy fitting salutation as the mother of the King Eternal,[97]

To the only God invisible,[154]

"This charge," he says, "I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war the good warfare; holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck,"[68]

a new doctrine? or is it a part of that charge of which he says, "This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy? "[270]

wherewith, indeed, some having been ensnared, "have suffered shipwreck about faith."[69]

, men already sunken from the faith into blasphemy; whence, too, he pronounced them "shipwrecked with regard to faith,"[135]

" "I would know, sir," I said, "Of what nature are these diverse tortures and punishments? ""Hear," he said, "the various tortures and punishments. The tortures are such as occur during life.[9]

that certain men, like Phygellus, and Hermogenes, and Philetus, and Hymenµus, deserted His apostle:[32]

The famous Alexander,[229]

Plainly, the selfsame apostle delivered to Satan Hymenaeus and Alexander, "that they might be emended into not blaspheming,"[131]

For the apostle likewise delivered Phygellus and Hermogenes over to Satan that by chastening they might be taught not to blaspheme.[12]

For as Hymenaeus and Alexander were" delivered unto Satan, that they might learn not to blaspheme,"[100]
