Certainly by the means of torture which fires and punishments supply, by the testing martyrdoms of faith. The apostle also knows what kind of God he has ascribed to us, when he writes: “If God spared not His own Son, but gave Him up for us, how did He not with Him also give us all things?”8261 8261 Anf-02 vi.iv.v.xiv Pg 6.1 Anf-03 v.iv.vi.vi Pg 48 Ps. cxviii. 8. and the same thing is said about glorying (in princes).5471 5471

But whoever4599 4599 Quodsiquis. aims at high position, because he would glory in the officious attentions4600 4600 Officiis. of other people, (in every such case,) inasmuch as He forbade such attentions (in the shape) of placing hope and confidence in man, He at the same time4601 4601 Idem. censured all who were ambitious of high positions. He also inveighs against the doctors of the law themselves, because they were “lading men with burdens grievous to be borne, which they did not venture to touch with even a finger of their own;”4602 4602

So, again, Babylon, in our own John, is a figure of the city Rome, as being equally great and proud of her sway, and triumphant over the saints.1273 1273 Npnf-201 iii.xv.ix Pg 24

Εἰς τὸ τέλος ὑπὲρ τῆς ὀγδόης.] on which our life both sprang up again, and the victory over death was obtained in Christ, whom the children of perdition, the enemies of the Saviour, deny, “whose god is their belly, who mind earthly things,”692 692 Anf-01 ix.iv.xi Pg 7 Ps. lviii. 3. And it was on account of this that he, turning them to their Lord, prepared, in the spirit and power of Elias, a perfect people for the Lord.
Anf-01 ix.vi.xlii Pg 8 Ps. lviii. 3, 4. And therefore did the Lord term those whom He knew to be the offspring of men “a generation of vipers;”4441 4441 Anf-02 vi.iv.iv.v Pg 27.1
Anf-03 vi.iv.xiv Pg 4 I do not know Tertullian’s authority for this statement. Certainly Solomon did raise his hands (1 Kings viii. 54), and David apparently his (see Ps. cxliii. 6; xxviii. 2; lxii. 4, etc.). Compare, too, Ex. xvii. 11, 12. But probably he is speaking only of the Israel of his own day. [Evidently.] for fear some Isaiah should cry out,8848 8848 Anf-02 vi.iv.i.xxvii Pg 19.1 Npnf-201 iii.xv.x Pg 13 Anf-03 v.iv.iii.xix Pg 19 Ps. xxxiii. 18, 19, slightly altered. “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivereth them out of them all.”2939 2939 Anf-02 vi.iv.i.xxi Pg 28.1 Anf-01 ix.vi.xxi Pg 14 Prov. viii. 22–25. [This is one of the favourite Messianic quotations of the Fathers, and is considered as the base of the first chapter of St. John’s Gospel.] And again: “When He prepared the heaven, I was with Him, and when He established the fountains of the deep; when He made the foundations of the earth strong, I was with Him preparing [them]. I was He in whom He rejoiced, and throughout all time I was daily glad before His face, when He rejoiced at the completion of the world, and was delighted in the sons of men.”4074 4074
Anf-01 v.xiv.vi Pg 11 Prov. viii. 22, 23; 25.
Anf-03 v.ix.vi Pg 6 Prov. viii. 22–25. that is to say, He created and generated me in His own intelligence. Then, again, observe the distinction between them implied in the companionship of Wisdom with the Lord. “When He prepared the heaven,” says Wisdom, “I was present with Him; and when He made His strong places upon the winds, which are the clouds above; and when He secured the fountains, (and all things) which are beneath the sky, I was by, arranging all things with Him; I was by, in whom He delighted; and daily, too, did I rejoice in His presence.”7822 7822
Anf-03 v.ix.vii Pg 12 Prov. viii. 22; 25. For if indeed Wisdom in this passage seems to say that She was created by the Lord with a view to His works, and to accomplish His ways, yet proof is given in another Scripture that “all things were made by the Word, and without Him was there nothing made;”7833 7833 Anf-02 iv.ii.i.vi Pg 4.1 Anf-03 iv.ix.x Pg 7 Ps. xxxv. (xxxiv. in LXX.) 12. and, “What I had not seized I was then paying in full;”1318 1318 Anf-01 viii.iv.xxiv Pg 2 Josh. v. 2; Isa. xxvi. 2, 3. that they may be a righteous nation, a people keeping faith, holding to the truth, and maintaining peace. Come then with me, all who fear God, who wish to see the good of Jerusalem. Come, let us go to the light of the Lord; for He has liberated His people, the house of Jacob. Come, all nations; let us gather ourselves together at Jerusalem, no longer plagued by war for the sins of her people. ‘For I was manifest to them that sought Me not; I was found of them that asked not for Me;’2007 2007 92:6 107:17 Anf-01 ix.iv.xxiv Pg 15 Prov. i. 7, Prov. ix. 10. the sense of sin leads to repentance, and God bestows His compassion upon those who are penitent. For [Adam] showed his repentance by his conduct, through means of the girdle [which he used], covering himself with fig-leaves, while there were many other leaves, which would have irritated his body in a less degree. He, however, adopted a dress conformable to his disobedience, being awed by the fear of God; and resisting the erring, the lustful propensity of his flesh (since he had lost his natural disposition and child-like mind, and had come to the knowledge of evil things), he girded a bridle of continence upon himself and his wife, fearing God, and waiting for His coming, and indicating, as it were, some such thing [as follows]: Inasmuch as, he says, I have by disobedience lost that robe of sanctity which I had from the Spirit, I do now also acknowledge that I am deserving of a covering of this nature, which affords no gratification, but which gnaws and frets the body. And he would no doubt have retained this clothing for ever, thus humbling himself, if God, who is merciful, had not clothed them with tunics of skins instead of fig-leaves. For this purpose, too, He interrogates them, that the blame might light upon the woman; and again, He interrogates her, that she might convey the blame to the serpent. For she related what had occurred. “The serpent,” says she, “beguiled me, and I did eat.”3766 3766
Anf-02 vi.iii.i.ix Pg 12.1
Anf-02 vi.iv.ii.vii Pg 7.1
Anf-02 vi.iv.ii.vii Pg 18.1
Anf-02 vi.iv.vii.xii Pg 8.1
Anf-03 v.iii.xliii Pg 4 Ps. cxi. 10; Prov. i. 7. Where the fear of God is, there is seriousness, an honourable and yet thoughtful2295 2295 Attonita, as if in fear that it might go wrong (Rigalt.). diligence, as well as an anxious carefulness and a well-considered admission (to the sacred ministry)2296 2296 In contrast to the opposite fault of the heresies exposed above. and a safely-guarded2297 2297 Deliberata, where the character was well weighed previous to admission to the eucharist. communion, and promotion after good service, and a scrupulous submission (to authority), and a devout attendance,2298 2298 Apparitio, the duty and office of an apparitor, or attendant on men of higher rank, whether in church or state. and a modest gait, and a united church, and God in all things. Anf-01 ii.ii.xvi Pg 6 Isa. liii. The reader will observe how often the text of the Septuagint, here quoted, differs from the Hebrew as represented by our authorized English version. And again He saith, “I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people. All that see Me have derided Me; they have spoken with their lips; they have wagged their head, [saying] He hoped in God, let Him deliver Him, let Him save Him, since He delighteth in Him.”71 71
Anf-02 vi.iii.i.viii Pg 20.1
Anf-03 v.iv.v.xiv Pg 48 Famulis et magistratibus. It is uncertain what passage this quotation represents. It sounds like some of the clauses of Isa. liii. Now, since hatred was predicted against that Son of man who has His mission from the Creator, whilst the Gospel testifies that the name of Christians, as derived from Christ, was to be hated for the Son of man’s sake, because He is Christ, it determines the point that that was the Son of man in the matter of hatred who came according to the Creator’s purpose, and against whom the hatred was predicted. And even if He had not yet come, the hatred of His name which exists at the present day could not in any case have possibly preceded Him who was to bear the name.3980 3980 Personam nominis. But He has both suffered the penalty3981 3981 Sancitur. in our presence, and surrendered His life, laying it down for our sakes, and is held in contempt by the Gentiles. And He who was born (into the world) will be that very Son of man on whose account our name also is rejected.
Anf-03 v.ix.xxx Pg 5 This is the sense rather than the words of Isa. liii. 5, 6. In this manner He “forsook” Him, in not sparing Him; “forsook” Him, in delivering Him up. In all other respects the Father did not forsake the Son, for it was into His Father’s hands that the Son commended His spirit.8189 8189
Npnf-201 iv.viii.xvi Pg 16 Anf-02 vi.iv.i.xxvii Pg 19.1 Anf-02 vi.iv.i.xxvii Pg 19.1
Anf-02 vi.iv.v.i Pg 14.1 Anf-01 vi.ii.xi Pg 4 Cod. Sin. has, “have dug a pit of death.” See Jer. ii. 12, 13. Is my holy hill Zion a desolate rock? For ye shall be as the fledglings of a bird, which fly away when the nest is removed.”1594
Anf-01 viii.iv.cxiv Pg 7 Jer. ii. 13.
Anf-01 viii.iv.cxl Pg 2 Jer. ii. 13. But they are cisterns broken, and holding no water, which your own teachers have digged, as the Scripture also expressly asserts, ‘teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.’2483 2483
Anf-01 ix.iv.xxv Pg 6 Jer. ii. 13. out of earthly trenches, and drink putrid water out of the mire, fleeing from the faith of the Church lest they be convicted; and rejecting the Spirit, that they may not be instructed.
Anf-02 vi.iii.i.ix Pg 23.1
Anf-03 iv.ix.xiii Pg 32 ὑδατος ζωῆς in the LXX. here (ed. Tischendorf, who quotes the Cod. Alex. as reading, however, ὑδατος ζῶντος). Comp. Rev. xxii. 1, 17, and xxi. 6; John vii. 37–39. (The reference, it will be seen, is still to Jer. ii. 10–13; but the writer has mixed up words of Amos therewith.) and they have digged for themselves worn-out tanks, which will not be able to contain water.” Undoubtedly, by not receiving Christ, the “fount of water of life,” they have begun to have “worn-out tanks,” that is, synagogues for the use of the “dispersions of the Gentiles,”1411 1411 Anf-03 v.ix.xiii Pg 4 Isa. xlv. 14, 15 (Sept.). For here too, by saying, “God is in Thee,” and “Thou art God,” he sets forth Two who were God: (in the former expression in Thee, he means) in Christ, and (in the other he means) the Holy Ghost. That is a still grander statement which you will find expressly made in the Gospel: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”7908 7908
