11
Chapter 1 Knowing, my beloved Marcianus, your desire to walk in godliness
12
Chapter 3 Now, that we may not suffer ought of this kind
13
Chapter 5 Thus then there is shown forth One God, the Father
14
Chapter 8 And by the Spirit the Father is called Most High and Almighty and Lord of
15
Chapter 9 Now this world is encompassed by seven heavens, in which dwell powers and angels and
16
Chapter 10 Now this God is glorified by His Word who is His Son continually
17
Chapter 11 But man He formed with His own hands, taking from the earth that which was
18
Chapter 13 And, whilst man dwelt in Paradise, God brought before him all living things and commanded
19
Chapter 14 And Adam and Eve -- for that is the name of the woman --
20
Chapter 15 But, lest man should conceive thoughts too high, and be exalted and uplifted
21
Chapter 16 This commandment the man kept not, but was disobedient to God
22
Chapter 17 And when they were put out of Paradise, Adam and his wife.
23
Chapter 18 And for a very long while wickedness extended and spread
24
Chapter 19 Until judgment came upon the world from God by means of a flood
25
Chapter 20 Now of these one fell under a curse, and the two others inherited a blessing
26
Chapter 22 Now after the Flood God made a covenant with all the world
27
Chapter 23 And they arose and came from the land of the east
28
Chapter 24 In process of tithe, that is to say, in the tenth generation after the Flood
29
Chapter 26 And in the wilderness Moses received the Law from God
30
Chapter 27 And when they were near to the land, which God had promised to Abraham and
31
Chapter 28 When the forty years were fulfilled, the people drew near to the Jordan
32
Chapter 29 And, when Moses had finished his course, it was said to him by God
33
Chapter 32 Whence then is the substance of the first formed man? From the Will and the
34
Chapter 33 And just as through a disobedient virgin man was stricken down and fell into death
35
Chapter 34 And the trespass which came by the tree was undone by the tree of obedience
36
Chapter 35 Moreover He fulfilled the promise made to Abraham, which God had promised him
37
Chapter 36 And He fulfilled the promise to David; for to him God had promised that of
38
Chapter 37 Thus then He gloriously achieved our redemption, and fulfilled the promise of the fathers
39
Chapter 38 But God the Father was very merciful: He sent His creative Word
40
Chapter 40 Thus then the Word of God
41
Chapter 41 And His forerunner was John the Baptist, who prepared and made ready the people beforehand
42
Chapter 42 For such is the state of those who have believed
43
Chapter 43 So then we must believe God in all things
44
Chapter 44 And again Moses tells how the Son of God drew near to hold converse with
45
Chapter 45 And Jacob, when he went into Mesopotamia, saw Him in a dream
46
Chapter 46 He it is who spake with Moses in the bush
47
Chapter 47 So then the Father is Lord and the Son is Lord
48
Chapter 48 And again David says:
49
Chapter 49 And again Isaiah the prophet says:
50
Chapter 50 So then right fitly Christ says through David that He converses with the Father
51
Chapter 51 Here, first of all, is seen that the Son of God pre-existed
52
Chapter 52 That Christ, then, being Son of God before all the world
53
Chapter 53 And that this Christ, who was with the Father
54
Chapter 54 For this cause then is He Saviour.
55
Chapter 55 He calls Him Wonderful Counselor, meaning of the Father
56
Chapter 56 And again Isaiah says:
57
Chapter 57 That the Son of God should be born, and in what way He was to
58
Chapter 58 And again Moses says: There shall rise a star out of Jacob
59
Chapter 59 Moreover Isaiah himself yet further says.
60
Chapter 60 Now, Not according to opinion shall he judge, and not according to speech shall he
61
Chapter 61 Now as to the union and concord and peace of the animals of different kinds
62
Chapter 62 Wherefore again the prophet says:
63
Chapter 63 And again the prophet Micah speaks of the place where Christ should be born
64
Chapter 64 And again David says that of his race Christ.
65
Chapter 65 And the manner of His entry into Jerusalem, which was the capital of Judæa
66
Chapter 66 So then, that the Son of God should be born
67
Chapter 67 At this point let us speak of His healings.
68
Chapter 68 And that He shall be despised and tormented and in the end put to death
69
Chapter 69 Now what follows in Isaiah is this:
70
Chapter 70 Then he says:
71
Chapter 71 And in another place Jeremiah says:
72
Chapter 72 And again the same prophet says thus concerning the sufferings of Christ
73
Chapter 73 And again David says thus concerning the death and resurrection of Christ
74
Chapter 74 And again David says thus concerning the sufferings of Christ
75
Chapter 76 And Zechariah says thus:
76
Chapter 77 Again He says in the Twelve Prophets,
77
Chapter 78 And in Jeremiah He thus declares His death and descent into hell
78
Chapter 80 And again David says:
79
Chapter 82 And at His crucifixion, when He asked a drink
80
Chapter 83 And that, being raised from the dead, He was to ascend into heaven
81
Chapter 84 And the same says David again:
82
Chapter 85 And being raised from the dead and exalted at the Father's right hand
83
Chapter 86 If then the prophets prophesied that the Son of God was to appear upon the
84
Chapter 88 And that after His ascension He was to be exalted above all
85
Chapter 89 That He would not send back the redeemed to the legislation of Moses -- for
86
Chapter 90 Therefore, when you urge against us that we turn away from the religion
87
Chapter 91 And that these promises the calling from among the Gentiles should inherit
88
Chapter 92 And that He should become visible amongst us -- for the Son of God became
89
Chapter 93 And that this race was to become an holy people was declared in the Twelve
90
Chapter 94 So then by the new calling a change of hearts in the Gentiles came to
91
Chapter 95 Moreover Moses in Deuteronomy says that the Gentiles should be the head
92
Chapter 97 By the invocation of the name of Jesus Christ
93
Chapter 99 So that none should imagine God the Father to be other than our Creator
94
Chapter 100 So then in respect of the three points of our seal error has strayed widely
