All the more fully: "Little children, these things have I written to you, lest ye sin; and if ye shall have sinned, an Advocate we have with God the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and, He is the propitiation for our sins."[245]

And since we have made mention of the Paraclete, and have explained as we were able what sentiments ought to be entertained regarding Him; and since our Saviour also is called the Paraclete in the Epistle of John, when he says, "If any of us sin, we have a Paraclete with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, and He is the propitiation for our sins; "[113]

" "And if any man sin," says he, "we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and He is the propitiation for our sins."[42]

" And in his Catholic Epistle John says that He is a Paraclete for our souls with the Father, as thus:[107]

-what and how great things must be said of the Lamb of God, who was sacrificed for this very reason, that He might take away the sin not of a few but of the whole world, for the sake of which also He suffered? If any one sin, we read,[164]

Hereby know we that we are in Him. He that saith he abideth in Him, ought himself to walk even as He also walked."[211]

" Such indeed does the Gospel invite, in order to make them better; but it invites also others who are very different from these, since Christ is the Saviour of all men, and especially of them that believe, whether they be intelligent or simple; and "He is the propitiation with the Father for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."[160]

and His Christ to be the "propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world."[111]

Accordingly, we worship with all our power the one God, and His only Son, the Word and the Image of God, by prayers and supplications; and we offer our petitions to the God of the universe through His only-begotten Son. To the Son we first present them, and beseech Him, as "the propitiation for our sins,"[29]

And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Supporter: and He is the propitiation for our sins."[32]

) when He observes, "Mine hour is not yet come."[57]

The comparison with this law of that definition, "Unless a man have been reborn of water and Spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdom of the heavens,"[140]

according to the words of Scripture: "He that saith that he believeth in Christ, ought so to walk, as He also walked."[42]

For this is to wish to be found with Christ, to imitate that which Christ both taught and did, according to the Apostle John, who said, "He that saith he abideth in Christ, ought himself also so to walk even as He walked."[5]

But if we also, beloved brethren, are in Christ; if we put Him on, if He is the way of our salvation, who follow Christ in the footsteps of salvation, let us walk by the example of Christ, as the Apostle John instructs us, saying, "He who saith he abideth in Christ, ought himself also to walk even as He walked."[20]

Of this same thing in the Epistle of John: "He who saith he abideth in Christ, ought himself also to walk even as He walked."[451]

Also in the same place: "He who saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is a liar, and walketh in darkness even until now."[386]

But the hireling, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth, and the wolf scatter-eth them."[5]

"After this[1]

let us seek joyfully to say, "I can do all things in Christ Jesus strengthening me." We have also to notice that in a former passage[159]

And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever, even as God also abideth for ever."[21]

And the world shall pass away, and the lust thereof; but he who doeth the will of God abideth for ever, even as God abideth for ever."[49]

And the world shall pass away with its lust. But he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever, even as God abideth for ever."[452]

If therefore any one of us wishes to be taken by Jesus, and led up by Him into the high mountain, and be deemed worthy of beholding His transfiguration apart, let him pass beyond the six days, because he no longer beholds the things which are seen, nor longer loves the world, nor the things in the world,[228]

, with its own vicious nature, easily indulging concupiscence after whatever it had seen to be "attractive to the sight,"[70]

In the Epistle of John: "But he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever, even as He Himself also abideth for ever."[509]

Know ye therefore, that every lie is from without, and is not of the truth. Who is a liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist."[288]

foreseeing by the Spirit those weak-minded persons who should be led astray.[4]

And how is it that he enjoins duties which belong to our God, and enjoins them to be offered to none other than our God? Either contend that the devil works with our God, or else let the Paraclete be held to be Satan. But you affirm it is "a human Antichrist: "for by this name heretics are called in John.[90]

and even now are there many antichrists;[35]

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, no doubt they would have continued with us."[20]

and again, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up; "[14]

As also the Lord speaks in reference to Himself, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. He spake this, however," it is said, "of the temple of His body."[32]

The Jews therefore said, In forty-six years was this temple built, and wilt thou raise it up in three days? But He spake of the temple of His body."[4]

John, ) "but they were not of us. If they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us."[33]

This destiny of the body the Lord also described, when, clothed as He was in its very substance, He said, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again."[106]

And He "took His life," when He manifested Himself to His disciples, having in their presence foretold to the unbelieving Jews, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up again,"[105]

When He knew that wicked men might aim at the destruction of the temple of God in Him, but that their purposes of destruction would not prevail against the divine power which had built that temple, He says to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it again....

The Apostle John execrates and severely assails these, when he says, "They went forth from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, surely they would have continued with us."[33]

Of this same thing in the Epistle of John: "They went out from among us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would doubtless have remained with us."[730]

Then the air and all that is under heaven is in a certain sort anointed by light and spirit; and are you unwilling to be anointed with the oil of God? Wherefore we are called Christians on this account, because we are anointed with the oil of God.[18]

If any one says that Christ suffers change or alteration, and refuses to acknowledge that He is unchangeable in the Spirit, though corruptible[23]

but which did not fall through death, because even the Scripture informs us that "He spoke of His body."[108]

ive loaves satisfied five thousand of His followers: and who, lest it might appear to the unbelieving and bard of heart to be an illusion, filled twelve capacious baskets with the fragments that remained? Was He one of us, who ordered the breath that had departed to return to the body, persons buried to come forth from the tomb, and after three days to be loosed from the swathings of the undertaker?
