1892 | It has to live on the ground, it can not help itself; therefore, how does it get about without leaving a track? |
1892 | It might be lonelier than ever; for since I can not find another one, how could it? |
1892 | What harm does it do? |
1892 | What is a summer resort? |
8528 | I wonder why it is? |
8528 | Of course it DOESN''T come down, but why should it SEEM to? |
8528 | Then why is it that I love him? |
8528 | Was she satisfied now? |
8527 | After a pause he asked:"How did it come?" |
8527 | He went to the edge of the burned place and stood looking down, and said:"What are these?" |
8527 | He would ask what it was good for, and what could I answer? |
8527 | They are forbidden, and he says I shall come to harm; but so I come to harm through pleasing him, why shall I care for that harm? |
8527 | Where did he get that word? |
8526 | Can it be that it was designed and manufactured for such ungentle work? |
8526 | Has n''t it any compassion for those little creature? |
8526 | Has n''t it any heart? |
8526 | I wonder if THAT is what it is for? |
8526 | If this reptile is a man, it is n''t an IT, is it? |
8526 | Is my position assured, or do I have to watch it and take care of it? |
8526 | That would n''t be grammatical, would it? |
8526 | Then if I am an experiment, am I the whole of it? |

21610 | How old are you thou tiny might that never has been still? |
21610 | Is there no secret sin with thee, as with them of unjust strife? |

21610 | Shall we meet somewhere after a while? |
21610 | What does your work profit? |

8301 | And again she said: Who would believe that Abraham should hear that Sara gave suck to a son, whom she bore to him in his old age? |
8301 | And again: Thou camest in, said they, as a stranger, was it to be a judge? |
8301 | And being asked by him: How many are the days of the years of thy life? |
8301 | And calling for him, he said: It is evident she is thy wife: why didst thou feign her to be thy sister? |
8301 | And do they belong to thee? |
8301 | And drawing nigh, he said: Wilt thou destroy the just with the wicked? |
8301 | And he answered them: Fear not: can we resist the will of God? |
8301 | And he answered: I know not: am I my brother''s keeper? |
8301 | And he answered: What wilt thou, son? |
8301 | And he asked them, saying: Know you Laban, the son of Nachor? |
8301 | And he asked them: What is your occupation? |
8301 | And he commanded the first, saying: If thou meet my brother Esau, and he ask thee: Whose art thou? |

8301 | And he said to them: Why would you do so? |
8301 | And he said: What is thy name? |
8301 | And lifting up his eyes, he saw the women and their children, and said: What mean these? |
8301 | And rending his garments he went to his brethren, and said: The boy doth not appear, and whither shall I go? |
8301 | And said to him: Come in, thou blessed of the Lord; why standest thou without? |
8301 | And said to the servant: Who is that man who cometh towards us along the field? |
8301 | And searched all my household stuff? |
8301 | And she answered: What wilt thou give me to enjoy my company? |
8301 | And she laughed secretly, saying: After I am grown old, and my lord is an old man, shall I give myself to pleasure? |
8301 | And the Lord God called Adam, and said to him: Where art thou? |
8301 | And the Lord God said to the woman: Why hast thou done this? |
8301 | And the Lord said to Abraham: Why did Sara laugh, saying: Shall I, who am an old woman, bear a child indeed? |
8301 | And the Lord said to Cain: Where is thy brother Abel? |

8301 | And they were astonished, and troubled, and said to one another: What is this that God hath done unto us? |
8301 | And trembling, he said: How terrible is this place? |
8301 | And when he had told this to his father, and brethren, his father rebuked him and said: What meaneth this dream that thou hast dreamed? |
8301 | And when he shall call you, and shall say: What is your occupation? |
8301 | And when the buyers wanted money, all Egypt came to Joseph, saying: Give us bread: why should we die in thy presence, having now no money? |
8301 | And when they had eaten, they said to him: Where is Sara thy wife? |
8301 | Asked the men of that place: Where is the woman that sat in the cross way? |
8301 | Behold, saith he, fire and wood: where is the victim for the holocaust? |
8301 | But I answered my master: What if the woman will not come with me? |
8301 | But he courteously saluting them again, asked them, saying: Is the old man your father in health, of whom you told me? |
8301 | But he drawing back his hand, the other came forth: and the woman said: Why is the partition divided for thee? |
8301 | But he said: Lord God, whereby may I know that I shall possess it? |
8301 | But he said: Thy name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel; for if thou hast been strong against God, how much more shalt thou prevail against men? |
8301 | But the children struggled in her womb, and she said: If it were to be so with me, what need was there to conceive? |
8301 | But why should Chanaan be cursed for his father''s faults? |
8301 | Did not he say to me: She is my sister: and she say, He is my brother? |
8301 | For what cause didst thou say, she was thy sister, that I might take her to my wife? |
8301 | Hath he not counted us as strangers, and sold us, and eaten up the price of us? |
8301 | Have I, therefore, been with thee twenty years? |
8301 | He answered: Lo I die, what will the first birthright avail me? |
8301 | He answered: Why dost thou ask my name? |
8301 | He asked them, saying: Why is your countenance sadder today than usual? |
8301 | He said therefore to Joseph: Seeing God hath shewn thee all that thou hast said, can I find one wiser and one like unto thee? |
8301 | He said to her: Agar, handmaid of Sarai, whence comest thou? |
8301 | He said to him: Because thou art my brother, shalt thou serve me without wages? |
8301 | He said: Art thou my son Esau? |
8301 | He said: Is he in health? |
8301 | His brethren answered: Shalt thou be our king? |
8301 | I beseech thee, saith he, be not angry, Lord, if I speak yet once more: What if ten shall be found there? |
8301 | If there be fifty just men in the city, shall they perish withal? |
8301 | If thou do well, shalt thou not receive? |
8301 | Is he yet living? |
8301 | Is there any thing hard to God? |
8301 | Isaac said to them: Why are ye come to me, a man whom you hate, and have thrust out from you? |
8301 | Jacob asked him: Tell me by what name art thou called? |
8301 | Juda is a lion''s whelp: to the prey, my son, thou art gone up: resting thou hast couched as a lion, and as a lioness, who shall rouse him? |
8301 | Juda said: What wilt thou have for a pledge? |
8301 | Lord, saith he, be not angry, I beseech thee, if I speak: What if thirty shall be found there? |
8301 | Now Abimelech had not touched her, and he said: Lord, wilt thou slay a nation that is ignorant and just? |
8301 | Now Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, and he could not see: and he called Esau, his elder son, and said to him: My son? |
8301 | Seeing he shall become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth shall be blessed? |
8301 | Seeing, saith he, I have once begun, I will speak to my Lord: What if twenty be found there? |
8301 | She answered: Dost thou think it a small matter, that thou hast taken my husband from me, unless thou take also my son''s mandrakes? |
8301 | Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father''s house: why hast thou stolen away my gods? |
8301 | Tell me what you have dreamed: Doth not interpretation belong to God?... |
8301 | The ground which thou desirest, is worth four hundred sicles of silver: this is the price between me and thee: but what is this? |
8301 | The servant answered: If the woman will not come with me into this land, must I bring thy son back again to the place from whence thou camest out? |
8301 | Then seeing his sons, he said to him: Who are these? |
8301 | There is this city here at hand, to which I may flee, it is a little one, and I shall be saved in it: is it not a little one, and my soul shall live? |
8301 | They answered: Should they abuse our sister as a strumpet? |
8301 | What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? |
8301 | What if there be five less than fifty just persons? |
8301 | Which when he had carried in, he said: My father? |
8301 | Who art thou, my son? |
8301 | Why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? |
8301 | Why shall I be deprived of both my sons in one day? |
8301 | Why therefore shall we die before thy eyes? |
8301 | and shall Sara that is ninety years old bring forth? |
8301 | and whither goest thou? |
8301 | and why is thy countenance fallen? |
8301 | and wilt thou not spare that place for the sake of the fifty just, if they be therein? |
8301 | but if ill, shall not sin forthwith be present at the door? |
8301 | did not I serve thee for Rachel? |
8301 | or shall we be subject to thy dominion? |
8301 | or what shall we say, or be able justly to allege? |
8301 | or whither goest thou? |
8301 | or whose are these before thee? |
8301 | shall I and thy mother, and thy brethren worship thee upon the earth? |
8301 | tell me: is there any place in thy father''s house to lodge? |
8301 | what have we offended thee in, that thou hast brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? |
8301 | who art thou? |
8301 | why hast thou deceived me? |
8001 | 01:003:009 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? |
8001 | 01:003:011 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? |
8001 | 01:003:013 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? |
8001 | 01:004:006 And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? |
8001 | 01:004:007 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? |
8001 | 01:004:009 And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? |
8001 | 01:004:010 And he said, What hast thou done? |
8001 | 01:012:018 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? |
8001 | 01:012:019 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? |
8001 | 01:013:009 Is not the whole land before thee? |
8001 | 01:015:002 And Abram said, LORD God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? |
8001 | 01:015:008 And he said, LORD God, whereby shall I know that I shall inherit it? |
8001 | 01:016:008 And he said, Hagar, Sarai''s maid, whence camest thou? |
8001 | 01:016:013 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? |
8001 | 01:017:017 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? |
8001 | 01:018:009 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? |
8001 | 01:018:012 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? |
8001 | 01:018:013 And the LORD said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old? |
8001 | 01:018:014 Is any thing too hard for the LORD? |
8001 | 01:018:023 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? |
8001 | 01:019:012 And the men said unto Lot, Hast thou here any besides? |
8001 | 01:020:004 But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, LORD, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation? |
8001 | 01:020:005 Said he not unto me, She is my sister? |
8001 | 01:020:009 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? |
8001 | 01:020:010 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing? |
8001 | 01:021:007 And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? |
8001 | 01:021:017 And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? |
8001 | 01:021:029 And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What mean these seven ewe lambs which thou hast set by themselves? |
8001 | 01:024:031 And he said, Come in, thou blessed of the LORD; wherefore standest thou without? |
8001 | 01:024:047 And I asked her, and said, Whose daughter art thou? |
8001 | 01:024:058 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? |
8001 | 01:024:065 For she had said unto the servant, What man is this that walketh in the field to meet us? |
8001 | 01:025:022 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? |
8001 | 01:025:032 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? |
8001 | 01:026:009 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she is thy wife; and how saidst thou, She is my sister? |
8001 | 01:026:010 And Abimelech said, What is this thou hast done unto us? |
8001 | 01:026:027 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? |
8001 | 01:027:018 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son? |
8001 | 01:027:020 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? |
8001 | 01:027:024 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? |
8001 | 01:027:032 And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? |
8001 | 01:027:033 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? |
8001 | 01:027:036 And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? |
8001 | 01:027:038 And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? |
8001 | 01:029:004 And Jacob said unto them, My brethren, whence be ye? |
8001 | 01:029:005 And he said unto them, Know ye Laban the son of Nahor? |
8001 | 01:029:006 And he said unto them, Is he well? |
8001 | 01:029:015 And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for nought? |
8001 | 01:029:025 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? |
8001 | 01:030:002 And Jacob''s anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God''s stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb? |
8001 | 01:030:015 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? |
8001 | 01:030:031 And he said, What shall I give thee? |
8001 | 01:031:014 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father''s house? |
8001 | 01:031:015 Are we not counted of him strangers? |
8001 | 01:031:028 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? |
8001 | 01:031:030 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father''s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods? |
8001 | 01:031:036 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? |
8001 | 01:031:037 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? |
8001 | 01:032:017 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? |
8001 | 01:032:027 And he said unto him, What is thy name? |
8001 | 01:033:005 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? |
8001 | 01:033:008 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? |
8001 | 01:034:023 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of their''s be our''s? |
8001 | 01:034:031 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot? |
8001 | 01:037:008 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us? |
8001 | 01:037:013 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy brethren feed the flock in Shechem? |
8001 | 01:037:015 And a certain man found him, and, behold, he was wandering in the field: and the man asked him, saying, What seekest thou? |
8001 | 01:037:026 And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood? |
8001 | 01:037:030 And he returned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? |
8001 | 01:038:018 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? |
8001 | 01:038:021 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot, that was openly by the way side? |
8001 | 01:038:029 And it came to pass, as he drew back his hand, that, behold, his brother came out: and she said, How hast thou broken forth? |
8001 | 01:040:007 And he asked Pharaoh''s officers that were with him in the ward of his lord''s house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day? |
8001 | 01:041:038 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is? |
8001 | 01:042:001 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? |
8001 | 01:042:022 And Reuben answered them, saying, Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? |
8001 | 01:043:006 And Israel said, Wherefore dealt ye so ill with me, as to tell the man whether ye had yet a brother? |
8001 | 01:043:007 And they said, The man asked us straitly of our state, and of our kindred, saying, Is your father yet alive? |
8001 | 01:043:027 And he asked them of their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom ye spake? |
8001 | 01:044:005 Is not this it in which my lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? |
8001 | 01:044:007 And they said unto him, Wherefore saith my lord these words? |
8001 | 01:044:015 And Joseph said unto them, What deed is this that ye have done? |
8001 | 01:044:016 And Judah said, What shall we say unto my lord? |
8001 | 01:044:019 My lord asked his servants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother? |
8001 | 01:044:034 For how shall I go up to my father, and the lad be not with me? |
8001 | 01:045:003 And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? |
8001 | 01:046:033 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call you, and shall say, What is your occupation? |
8001 | 01:047:003 And Pharaoh said unto his brethren, What is your occupation? |
8001 | 01:047:008 And Pharaoh said unto Jacob, How old art thou? |
8001 | 01:048:008 And Israel beheld Joseph''s sons, and said, Who are these? |
8001 | 01:050:019 And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? |
8001 | And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? |
8001 | And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? |
8001 | And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? |
8001 | And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me? |
8001 | And he said, I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper? |
8001 | And he said, What needeth it? |
8001 | And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? |
8001 | And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? |
8001 | And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it? |
8001 | Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? |
8001 | Is he yet alive? |
8001 | Shall I and thy mother and thy brethren indeed come to bow down ourselves to thee to the earth? |
8001 | and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? |
8001 | and we told him according to the tenor of these words: could we certainly know that he would say, Bring your brother down? |
8001 | and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? |
8001 | and whither goest thou? |
8001 | and whither wilt thou go? |
8001 | and whose are these before thee? |
8001 | and why is thy countenance fallen? |
8001 | and wouldest thou take away my son''s mandrakes also? |
8001 | did not I serve with thee for Rachel? |
8001 | have ye another brother? |
8001 | or how shall we clear ourselves? |
8001 | or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us? |
8001 | tell me, I pray thee: is there room in thy father''s house for us to lodge in? |
8001 | tell me, what shall thy wages be? |
8001 | what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me? |
8001 | what shall we speak? |
8001 | where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? |
8001 | wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? |
8001 | why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? |
8001 | wot ye not that such a man as I can certainly divine? |
8228 | 003:009 Yahweh God called to the man, and said to him,"Where are you?" |
8228 | 003:011 God said,"Who told you that you were naked? |
8228 | 003:013 Yahweh God said to the woman,"What is this you have done?" |
8228 | 004:006 Yahweh said to Cain,"Why are you angry? |
8228 | 004:007 If you do well, will it not be lifted up? |
8228 | 004:009 Yahweh said to Cain,"Where is Abel, your brother?" |
8228 | 004:010 Yahweh said,"What have you done? |
8228 | 012:018 Pharaoh called Abram and said,"What is this that you have done to me? |
8228 | 012:019 Why did you say,''She is my sister,''so that I took her to be my wife? |
8228 | 013:009 Is n''t the whole land before you? |
8228 | 015:002 Abram said,"Lord Yahweh, what will you give me, seeing I go childless, and he who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?" |
8228 | 015:008 He said,"Lord Yahweh, how will I know that I will inherit it?" |
8228 | 016:008 He said,"Hagar, Sarai''s handmaid, where did you come from? |
8228 | 016:013 She called the name of Yahweh who spoke to her,"You are a God who sees,"for she said,"Have I even stayed alive after seeing him?" |
8228 | 017:017 Then Abraham fell on his face, and laughed, and said in his heart,"Will a child be born to him who is one hundred years old? |
8228 | 018:009 They said to him,"Where is Sarah, your wife? |
8228 | 018:012 Sarah laughed within herself, saying,"After I have grown old will I have pleasure, my lord being old also?" |
8228 | 018:013 Yahweh said to Abraham,"Why did Sarah laugh, saying,''Will I really bear a child, yet I am old?'' |
8228 | 018:014 Is anything too hard for Yahweh? |
8228 | 018:023 Abraham drew near, and said,"Will you consume the righteous with the wicked? |
8228 | 018:024 What if there are fifty righteous within the city? |
8228 | 018:028 What if there will lack five of the fifty righteous? |
8228 | 018:029 He spoke to him yet again, and said,"What if there are forty found there?" |
8228 | 019:005 They called to Lot, and said to him,"Where are the men who came in to you this night? |
8228 | 019:012 The men said to Lot,"Do you have anybody else here? |
8228 | 020:005 Did n''t he tell me,''She is my sister?'' |
8228 | 020:009 Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him,"What have you done to us? |
8228 | 020:010 Abimelech said to Abraham,"What did you see, that you have done this thing?" |
8228 | 021:007 She said,"Who would have said to Abraham, that Sarah would nurse children? |
8228 | 021:029 Abimelech said to Abraham,"What do these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves mean?" |
8228 | 022:007 Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said,"My father?" |
8228 | 024:005 The servant said to him,"What if the woman is n''t willing to follow me to this land? |
8228 | 024:039 I said to my master,''What if the woman will not follow me?'' |
8228 | 024:047 I asked her, and said,''Whose daughter are you?'' |
8228 | 024:058 They called Rebekah, and said to her,"Will you go with this man?" |
8228 | 024:065 She said to the servant,"Who is the man who is walking in the field to meet us?" |
8228 | 026:010 Abimelech said,"What is this you have done to us? |
8228 | 026:027 Isaac said to them,"Why have you come to me, since you hate me, and have sent me away from you?" |
8228 | 027:001 It happened, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him,"My son?" |
8228 | 027:012 What if my father touches me? |
8228 | 027:018 He came to his father, and said,"My father?" |
8228 | 027:020 Isaac said to his son,"How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?" |
8228 | 027:024 He said,"Are you really my son Esau?" |
8228 | 027:032 Isaac his father said to him,"Who are you?" |
8228 | 027:036 He said,"Is n''t he rightly named Jacob? |
8228 | 027:038 Esau said to his father,"Have you but one blessing, my father? |
8228 | 029:004 Jacob said to them,"My relatives, where are you from?" |
8228 | 029:005 He said to them,"Do you know Laban, the son of Nahor?" |
8228 | 029:006 He said to them,"Is it well with him?" |
8228 | 029:015 Laban said to Jacob,"Because you are my brother, should you therefore serve me for nothing? |
8228 | 030:002 Jacob''s anger was kindled against Rachel, and he said,"Am I in God''s place, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?" |
8228 | 030:015 She said to her,"Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? |
8228 | 030:031 He said,"What shall I give you?" |
8228 | 031:014 Rachel and Leah answered him,"Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father''s house? |
8228 | 031:015 Are n''t we accounted by him as foreigners? |
8228 | 031:026 Laban said to Jacob,"What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword? |
8228 | 031:030 Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father''s house, but why have you stolen my gods?" |
8228 | 031:037 Now that you have felt around in all my stuff, what have you found of all your household stuff? |
8228 | 032:017 He commanded the foremost, saying,"When Esau, my brother, meets you, and asks you, saying,''Whose are you? |
8228 | 032:027 He said to him,"What is your name?" |
8228 | 033:005 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said,"Who are these with you?" |
8228 | 033:008 Esau said,"What do you mean by all this company which I met?" |
8228 | 034:023 Wo n''t their livestock and their possessions and all their animals be ours? |
8228 | 034:031 They said,"Should he deal with our sister as with a prostitute?" |
8228 | 037:008 His brothers said to him,"Will you indeed reign over us? |
8228 | 037:013 Israel said to Joseph,"Are n''t your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? |
8228 | 037:026 Judah said to his brothers,"What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? |
8228 | 037:030 He returned to his brothers, and said,"The child is no more; and I, where will I go?" |
8228 | 038:018 He said,"What pledge will I give you?" |
8228 | 038:021 Then he asked the men of her place, saying,"Where is the prostitute, that was at Enaim by the road?" |
8228 | 038:029 It happened, as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out, and she said,"Why have you made a breach for yourself?" |
8228 | 040:007 He asked Pharaoh''s officers who were with him in custody in his master''s house, saying,"Why do you look so sad today?" |
8228 | 041:038 Pharaoh said to his servants,"Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?" |
8228 | 042:001 Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons,"Why do you look at one another?" |
8228 | 042:022 Reuben answered them, saying,"Did n''t I tell you, saying,''Do n''t sin against the child,''and you would n''t listen? |
8228 | 043:006 Israel said,"Why did you treat me so badly, telling the man that you had another brother?" |
8228 | 043:007 They said,"The man asked directly concerning ourselves, and concerning our relatives, saying,''Is your father still alive? |
8228 | 043:027 He asked them of their welfare, and said,"Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? |
8228 | 043:029 He lifted up his eyes, and saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother''s son, and said,"Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?" |
8228 | 044:005 Is n''t this that from which my lord drinks, and by which he indeed divines? |
8228 | 044:007 They said to him,"Why does my lord speak such words as these? |
8228 | 044:015 Joseph said to them,"What deed is this that you have done? |
8228 | 044:016 Judah said,"What will we tell my lord? |
8228 | 044:019 My lord asked his servants, saying,''Have you a father, or a brother?'' |
8228 | 046:033 It will happen, when Pharaoh summons you, and will say,''What is your occupation?'' |
8228 | 047:003 Pharaoh said to his brothers,"What is your occupation?" |
8228 | 047:008 Pharaoh said to Jacob,"How many are the days of the years of your life?" |
8228 | 047:019 Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? |
8228 | 048:008 Israel saw Joseph''s sons, and said,"Who are these?" |
8228 | 050:019 Joseph said to them,"Do n''t be afraid, for am I in the place of God? |
8228 | Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
8228 | Did n''t I serve with you for Rachel? |
8228 | Do n''t you know that such a man as I can indeed divine?" |
8228 | Does my father still live?" |
8228 | Have you another brother?'' |
8228 | Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?" |
8228 | He said to Laban,"What is this you have done to me? |
8228 | He said to the woman,"Has God really said,''You shall not eat of any tree of the garden?''" |
8228 | He said to them,"Where did you come from?" |
8228 | He said,"Have n''t you reserved a blessing for me?" |
8228 | He said,"Here is the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" |
8228 | He said,"Lord, will you kill even a righteous nation? |
8228 | He said,"Why is it that you ask what my name is?" |
8228 | He said,"Why? |
8228 | His father rebuked him, and said to him,"What is this dream that you have dreamed? |
8228 | How have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? |
8228 | How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" |
8228 | How then should we steal silver or gold out of your lord''s house? |
8228 | If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good will my life do me?" |
8228 | Is he yet alive?" |
8228 | Is there any way we could know that he would say,''Bring your brother down?''" |
8228 | Is there room in your father''s house for us to lodge in?" |
8228 | Jacob answered Laban,"What is my trespass? |
8228 | Joseph said to them,"Do n''t interpretations belong to God? |
8228 | Must I bring your son again to the land you came from?" |
8228 | Now when will I provide for my own house also?" |
8228 | Oh let me escape there( is n''t it a little one? |
8228 | Or how will we clear ourselves? |
8228 | Or will you indeed have dominion over us?" |
8228 | She said,"If it be so, why do I live?" |
8228 | She said,"What will you give me, that you may come in to me?" |
8228 | She said,"Will you give me a pledge, until you send it?" |
8228 | Should n''t the Judge of all the earth do right?" |
8228 | Tell me, what will your wages be?" |
8228 | The angel of God called to Hagar out of the sky, and said to her,"What ails you, Hagar? |
8228 | The man asked him,"What are you looking for?" |
8228 | Their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling one to another, saying,"What is this that God has done to us?" |
8228 | What good is the birthright to me?" |
8228 | What if ten are found there?" |
8228 | What if there are thirty found there?" |
8228 | What if there are twenty found there?" |
8228 | What is a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver between me and you? |
8228 | What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued after me? |
8228 | What then will I do for you, my son?" |
8228 | What will we speak? |
8228 | When you overtake them, ask them,''Why have you rewarded evil for good? |
8228 | Where are you going? |
8228 | Where are you going?" |
8228 | Who are you, my son?" |
8228 | Who will rouse him up? |
8228 | Whose are these before you?'' |
8228 | Why did n''t you tell me that she was your wife? |
8228 | Why did you say,''She is my sister?''" |
8228 | Why do you stand outside? |
8228 | Why has the expression of your face fallen? |
8228 | Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?" |
8228 | Why then have you deceived me?" |
8228 | Will I and your mother and your brothers indeed come to bow ourselves down to you to the earth?" |
8228 | Will Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?" |
8228 | Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it? |
8228 | Will you destroy all the city for lack of five?" |
8228 | Would you take away my son''s mandrakes, also?" |
39395 | But what will this birthright profit us? |
39395 | Fear not: for am I in the place of God? 39395 Have ye suffered all these things in vain, if it be yet in vain?" |
39395 | If thou doest well, shalt thou not( as well as Abel) be accepted? 39395 Why look ye one upon another? |
39395 | Ye have run well, what now hinders you? |
39395 | Am I any nearer my inheritance? |
39395 | And he said,"Behold the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?" |
39395 | And indeed, if this life were all, might not God well be ashamed to call Himself our God? |
39395 | And what is the result? |
39395 | And what would be the consequence? |
39395 | And why did they not do so? |
39395 | Are there not in your life any objects for the sake of which you sacrifice that nearness to God, and that sure hold of Him you once enjoyed? |
39395 | Being pressed thus for an answer to the question, What does God mean to make of my life? |
39395 | Besides, where was a wife to be found? |
39395 | But can Abraham have failed to let his fancy picture the deeds this lad might one day do at the head of his armed slaves? |
39395 | But do men become humble by being told to become so, or by knowing they ought to be so? |
39395 | But it comes to be an inquiry of some interest, How much information regarding a personal Messiah did the brethren receive from this prophecy? |
39395 | But knowing the risk he ran, why did he go? |
39395 | But of what good was this safety to be? |
39395 | But what could an ambitious, happy youth make of this, till he was thrown into the pit and left there? |
39395 | But what is all this to my purpose? |
39395 | But which degrades God most, and which exalts Him most? |
39395 | Can I ask this man to trust to inward whisperings which seem to have so misled me? |
39395 | Can the dignity and weight of responsibility steady a man? |
39395 | Can the most sacred or impressive memories secure a man against sin? |
39395 | Can we trace to Abram''s faith any part of his action at this time? |
39395 | Can you not understand His meaning when He comes to you with offers of pardon and acts of oblivion? |
39395 | Can you wonder that an ear trained to be so sensitive to the near earthly sounds, should quite have lost the range of heavenly voices? |
39395 | Could his father at the last hour, and after so many thronged years, and before his brethren, recall the old sin? |
39395 | Did Christ perfectly submit to and fulfil the will of God? |
39395 | Did God just wipe out man as a boy wipes his slate clean, when he finds his calculation is turning out wrong? |
39395 | Did He acknowledge the infinite evil of sin and patiently bear its penalties, still loving the Holy and Righteous God? |
39395 | Did every one merely make use of him, and did no one give him pure love for his own sake? |
39395 | Do you attend Church, do you come and decorously submit to a service? |
39395 | Do you believe these things and can you forbear to use them? |
39395 | Do you think the idea of the Incarnation too aerial and speculative to carry with you for help in rough, practical matters? |
39395 | Does God not know what is oldest with us, what has been longest at our hearts, and is dearest to us? |
39395 | Does He estimate the pain I must suffer if immediate relief do not come? |
39395 | Does he feel his strength leave him so that he can not go on to bless the rest of his sons, and has but time to yield his own spirit to God? |
39395 | Does not our faith, like Sarah''s, vary in proportion as the promise to be believed is unpractical? |
39395 | Does that which satisfies me satisfy Him? |
39395 | Else why forbid it? |
39395 | Fain would he relieve them from their remorse and apprehension-- why, then, does he forbear? |
39395 | From what have you received truest and deepest pleasure in life? |
39395 | Had her hopes been nursed by means so extraordinary only that they might be so bitterly blighted? |
39395 | Has His desire to cover sin no application to you? |
39395 | Has he missed a step on the bank in the darkness, or stumbled or slipped on the slippery stones of the ford? |
39395 | Has she not acted madly in fleeing from her only protectors? |
39395 | Have we or have we not the spirit of the Son? |
39395 | Have you cordially and habitually fallen in with His will? |
39395 | Have you fallen short of no good He intended you should do and gave you opportunity to do? |
39395 | Have you loved Him in any proportion to His worthiness to be loved? |
39395 | Have you no reason to be ashamed before God? |
39395 | Have you thus given yourselves to God? |
39395 | Have you zealously done His work in the world? |
39395 | He contemplated the possibility of Sarah''s being taken from him; but, if this should happen, what became of the promised seed? |
39395 | He had been known as the Friend of God, where could he be but in God''s dwelling- place? |
39395 | He had given a blessing to one person under the impression that he was a different person; must not the blessing go to him for whom it was designed? |
39395 | How can it be otherwise? |
39395 | How can men be saved from living merely for sheep- feeding and cattle- breeding and trade and enjoyment? |
39395 | How often do we pray for the bestowal of a blessing, and forget to pray for its continuance? |
39395 | How then shall this angelic commission of enquiry proceed? |
39395 | How, he asks, did Abram achieve righteousness? |
39395 | If He is willing, why all this unworthy dealing with Him, as if the whole idea and accomplishment of salvation did not proceed from Him? |
39395 | If He makes Himself known to us, if He claims connection with us, have we not here the promise of all good? |
39395 | If day by day you are saying,"Lead Thou me on,"if you say,"What wilt Thou give me?" |
39395 | If it is possible that you should share in the character and destiny of Christ, can a healthy ambition crave anything more or higher? |
39395 | If the future is to be as momentous in results as the past has certainly been filled with preparation, have you no caring to share in these results? |
39395 | If the rude matter of the world could_ sing_ for them, what might it not do for them? |
39395 | If then the Flood extended to Australia and destroyed all animal life there, what are we compelled to suppose as the order of events? |
39395 | If you had been Abel''s murderer, would you have been justly afraid of God''s anger? |
39395 | If, then, you ask, Was this just a beginning again where Adam began? |
39395 | Is it not from your friendships? |
39395 | Is it not the energy which opposition excites? |
39395 | Is life not worth having even on these terms? |
39395 | Is my life God''s ideal? |
39395 | Is not Christ with many a mere stepping- stone for their own advancement, and of interest only so long as they are in anxiety about their own fate? |
39395 | Is not the very crown of life depicted in the testimony given to Enoch, that"he pleased God"? |
39395 | Is not this a summons that comes appropriately to every man? |
39395 | Is obedience to Him only to involve me in misery from which other men are exempt? |
39395 | Is there no reason for shame on your part before God? |
39395 | Is there then any resulting benefit to character in this so common experience of delayed expectations? |
39395 | It would appear as if her despair had been needless; at least from the words addressed to her,"What aileth thee, Hagar?" |
39395 | May not the messengers of God yet say, Who hath believed our report? |
39395 | Might he not be better off among his old friends in Charran? |
39395 | Must I again loosen my hold, and part with my chief attainment? |
39395 | Must I cut my moorings and launch again upon this ocean of faith with a horizon always receding and that seems absolutely boundless? |
39395 | Must he not have been tempted, as his father had been, to take matters into his own hand? |
39395 | Now how else could Abraham''s mind have been so effectually lifted to this exalted hope as by the disappointment of his original and much tamer hope? |
39395 | Of course you would lose what you call your hope of heaven-- but what would you find you had lost in this world? |
39395 | Should he not brave their ridicule and return? |
39395 | Suppose Christ''s promise failed, in what would you be the losers? |
39395 | The first reason is:"Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do? |
39395 | The people he had saved from famine, was there one of them that regarded him with anything resembling personal affection? |
39395 | The question always is, not, what have you done, but what are you now doing? |
39395 | There is a great deal to induce a son to do so; this calling has been successful in his father''s case, what better can he do than follow? |
39395 | Think you,''mid all this mighty sum Of things for ever speaking, That nothing of itself will come, But we must still be seeking? |
39395 | This surely is encouraging; for who is not conscious of much difficulty in thinking rightly of God? |
39395 | This treatment, who among us has not extended to Him who in His whole experience so closely resembles Joseph? |
39395 | Thou tellest my wanderings; put Thou my tears in Thy bottle; are they not in Thy book?" |
39395 | To every one therefore He repeats this question,"Where is thy brother?" |
39395 | To this motive John ascribes the act:"Wherefore slew he him? |
39395 | To what straits was he to be first reduced? |
39395 | To whom could she go in Egypt? |
39395 | Was he ever to get out of this prison- house? |
39395 | Was he to consider himself bound by what he had done under a misapprehension? |
39395 | Was he to submit even to his father in such a matter? |
39395 | Was not this, then, security enough that they would never again perpetrate a crime of like atrocity? |
39395 | Was the promised land worth having after all? |
39395 | Was there one there who would remember the little slave girl or who would care to show her a kindness? |
39395 | Was there to be any connection with the old world at all, or was all to begin afresh? |
39395 | Were the promises, the traditions, the events, the genealogies of the old world of any significance now? |
39395 | What can Abraham have thought? |
39395 | What could he expect from strangers, if his own brothers had found him so obnoxious? |
39395 | What could such contradiction mean? |
39395 | What else is it ruins half the people who suppose themselves well on the way of life? |
39395 | What have you ventured that you would not have ventured but for God''s promise? |
39395 | What intervened between the first and last visit of his brethren to make it seem advisable to disclose himself and invite them? |
39395 | What is hidden must, we conclude, have some interest for us-- else why hide it from us? |
39395 | What is the meaning, purpose, and use of this opposition to his entrance? |
39395 | What sawest thou that thou hast done this thing?" |
39395 | What then are the truths taught us in these chapters? |
39395 | What then has your faith done? |
39395 | What was probably Jacob''s state of mind when he lay down on that hill- side? |
39395 | What, in these circumstances, should we straightway do? |
39395 | When any man in that age began to ask himself the question which all men in all ages ask, How shall I win the favour of God? |
39395 | Whence this mystery, and disguise, and circuitous compassing of his end? |
39395 | Which is the true view of life, which is the view to guide_ us_ in choosing and refusing the enjoyments and pursuits that are presented to us? |
39395 | Who can say he does not see what more God could do for him than has here been done? |
39395 | Who could have been surprised if in this horror of great darkness the mind of Abraham had become unhinged? |
39395 | Who could wonder if he had slain_ himself_ to make the loss of Isaac impossible? |
39395 | Who does not feel that precisely here, where the light should be brightest, clouds and darkness seem to gather? |
39395 | Who does not know of those moments of weakness, when we are fagged with work, and with our physical energy our moral tone has become relaxed? |
39395 | Why does he not at this juncture disclose himself? |
39395 | Why should he not expostulate, resist, flee? |
39395 | Why spend all my life in waiting and seeking for high spiritual things when I have so much with which I can be moderately satisfied? |
39395 | Why then do any not walk with God? |
39395 | Why then make any announcement to Abraham if the catastrophe can not be averted, and if Abraham is to turn back to his own encampment? |
39395 | Why, then, did he proceed so cautiously? |
39395 | Why, then, was Jacob thus mysteriously held back while his household were quietly moving forward in the darkness? |
39395 | Why? |
39395 | Will the Son of man when He comes find it on earth? |
39395 | With how different a meaning then comes now to us this question of God''s:"Where is thy brother?" |
39395 | Without Him what can we make of those suspicions of a future judgment, or of those yearnings after God, that hang about our hearts? |
39395 | Without the law of gravitation the universe would rush into ruin, but who has ever seen this force? |
39395 | Yet who knocks at this door? |
39395 | You may be in circumstances which tempt you to say, Does God see the inextricable difficulty I am in? |
39395 | it satisfies me( all but a little bit); might it not satisfy God? |
37915 | And Abram said, Lord God, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go_ childless_, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus? 37915 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?" |
37915 | How long, O Lord? |
37915 | Is it not_ I_ that have sinned? |
37915 | It is God that justifieth, who is he that condemneth? |
37915 | Lovest thou me?... 37915 Simon Peter said unto him, Lord whither goest thou? |
37915 | The way of Cainwill be followed by"the error of Balaam,"in its consummated form; and then will come"the gainsaying of Core;"and what then? |
37915 | Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son on the altar? |
37915 | What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man_ say_ he hath faith, and have not works? |
37915 | Where art thou? |
37915 | Where is Sodom? 37915 Which of you, by taking thought, can add to his stature one cubit?" |
37915 | Who hath_ first_ given to him? |
37915 | Yea, hath God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? |
37915 | A man who is blind and knows it, can have his eyes opened; but what can be done for one who thinks he sees, when he really does not? |
37915 | Again, when Satan stands forth to resist Joshua, the word is,"The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan,... is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?" |
37915 | Am I dwelling sufficiently near the fountain- head to be able, with a worshipping spirit, to behold all the creature streams dried up? |
37915 | And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you? |
37915 | And can not the wisest sage find a true mirror in which to see himself reflected in the conduct of a child? |
37915 | And even though they should attain their object, what is it? |
37915 | And for what purpose? |
37915 | And for what were they designed? |
37915 | And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? |
37915 | And is not the Church thus needful to Christ? |
37915 | And is this not true, in reference to our heavenly Father? |
37915 | And now, my beloved Christian reader, what else have we wherewith to stand, in service for Christ, in an evil day, like the present? |
37915 | And the children struggled together within her: and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? |
37915 | And to what end was this? |
37915 | And what then? |
37915 | And what use did he make of his knowledge and his elevated position? |
37915 | And what was man doing while the Son of God was in the grave? |
37915 | And who can tell how soon? |
37915 | And who can tell what would be the deadening effect of uninterrupted engagement with this world''s traffic? |
37915 | And why? |
37915 | And why? |
37915 | And yet, how else could it be? |
37915 | And, my reader, is there not a deep lesson in all this for the present age? |
37915 | Are you ready to"Crown him Lord of all?" |
37915 | Are you ready? |
37915 | Because there is not so much as a single chink in your circumstances, through which a vain desire might make its escape? |
37915 | Because you have all that your poor rambling hearts would seek after? |
37915 | But does all this set aside man''s responsibility to believe a plain testimony set before him in God''s Word? |
37915 | But how can fallen nature surrender that to which it is allied? |
37915 | But how is she to reflect this light? |
37915 | But how was this? |
37915 | But how? |
37915 | But what does he first do? |
37915 | But whence came this strange and dreaded thing, death? |
37915 | But who can utter all that is wrapped up in the idea of God''s being a_ seeker_? |
37915 | Can he deliver himself from the power of death, and walk forth, in life and liberty, beyond the limits of its dreary domain? |
37915 | Can he open the gates of the grave? |
37915 | Can he raise the dead? |
37915 | Could God rest in the midst of thorns and briers? |
37915 | Could God sit down, as it were, and celebrate a sabbath in the midst of such circumstances? |
37915 | Could a sinner''s toil remove the curse and stain of sin? |
37915 | Could faith have led him to say,"I shall be destroyed, I and my house?" |
37915 | Could he rest amid the sighs and tears, the groans and sorrows, the sickness and death, the degradation and guilt of a ruined world? |
37915 | Could it do any or all of these things? |
37915 | Could it furnish a proper ground of acceptance for a sinner? |
37915 | Could it rob death of its sting, or the grave of its victory? |
37915 | Could it satisfy the claims of an infinitely holy God? |
37915 | Could it set aside the penalty which was due to sin? |
37915 | Could man do that? |
37915 | Could man do that? |
37915 | Could man do that? |
37915 | Could man do that? |
37915 | Could not man''s genius invent some way of escape? |
37915 | Could not"the mighty man deliver himself by his much strength?" |
37915 | Dear reader, are you ready? |
37915 | Did he place more confidence in a few cattle than in Jehovah, to whom he had just been committing himself? |
37915 | Did it operate thus, in the case of Adam and Eve? |
37915 | Did righteousness cover the earth, as the waters cover the sea? |
37915 | Does God_ entirely_ fill my future? |
37915 | Does he at once cast himself upon God? |
37915 | Does it convey no teaching? |
37915 | Does it make any difference to me to see the apparent channel of all my blessings dried up? |
37915 | God seeking a sinner? |
37915 | God would have fenced her round about from every ill; and who can harm those who are the happy subjects of his unslumbering guardianship? |
37915 | Had Noah any anxiety about the billows of divine judgment? |
37915 | Had he forgotten his prayer? |
37915 | Has not he abolished it? |
37915 | Has this no voice for us? |
37915 | Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? |
37915 | Have men or circumstances aught to do therein? |
37915 | Have you believed the message? |
37915 | Have you embraced the Son? |
37915 | He might have said, in the triumphant language of Romans viii.,"If God be for us, who can be against us?" |
37915 | Hear his fallacious reasoning:"Behold, I am at the point to die; and what profit shall this birthright do to me?" |
37915 | How can I ever be fit to dwell in that light? |
37915 | How can it be attracted by that in which it sees no charms? |
37915 | How can it undergo any change? |
37915 | How can she? |
37915 | How can that which is thus spoken of ever undergo any improvement? |
37915 | How can you correct an error which consists in departing from that which alone can correct any thing? |
37915 | How could Noah have"preached righteousness"for 120 years if he had not had the word of God as the ground of his preaching? |
37915 | How could fallen nature breathe an atmosphere so pure? |
37915 | How could he have persevered in testifying of"judgment to come,"when not a cloud appeared on the world''s horizon? |
37915 | How could he have withstood the scoffs and sneers of an infidel world? |
37915 | How could he think of delivering Lot from the power of the world, if he himself were governed thereby? |
37915 | How could he? |
37915 | How could it? |
37915 | How could the sense of what_ I am_ ever bring me to God, if not accompanied by the faith of what_ God is_? |
37915 | How could there be? |
37915 | How could we? |
37915 | How did he know it? |
37915 | How does it end? |
37915 | How else could it be? |
37915 | How many do we see surrounded by God''s blessings, who neither have, nor wish for, God''s presence? |
37915 | How then? |
37915 | How was he occupied in the Lord''s presence? |
37915 | How was it in the days of Noah? |
37915 | How, then, did the sinner reply to the faithful and gracious inquiry of the Blessed God? |
37915 | If Christ were on earth, now, what would his path be? |
37915 | If he had been looking to God alone to appease Esau, could he have said,"I will appease him by a present?" |
37915 | If it_ can not be_ subject to the law of God, how can it be improved? |
37915 | If we have not therein the Church''s existence directly revealed, how could we have the Church''s hope? |
37915 | In himself? |
37915 | In the former, I say, he stood alone, for who could have stood with him? |
37915 | Infidelity may ask,"How? |
37915 | Is he evil in his thoughts, evil in his words, evil in his actions? |
37915 | Is it because he is a_ better man_ than the worshipper under the law? |
37915 | Is it because he is not a dear child? |
37915 | Is it because you are so well off in the world? |
37915 | Is there any space allotted to the creature? |
37915 | Is this to be the ground of our contentment? |
37915 | Is your heart in full harmony with God''s on this point? |
37915 | It reveals him, not as exacting aught from man,( for what could be expected from one who has died a bankrupt?) |
37915 | Just so now, who can touch those who have, by faith, retreated into the shadow of the cross? |
37915 | Need we wonder, therefore, that Satan''s grand design was to rob the creature of the true knowledge of the only true God? |
37915 | No matter what we may think about ourselves, nor yet what man may think about us; the great question is, What does God think about us? |
37915 | Nor should we, when in a wrong position, stop to inquire, as we so often do,"Where can I find any thing better?" |
37915 | Now, the question is, Shall we refuse to suffer from the hand of man_ with him_ who suffered from the hand of God_ for us_? |
37915 | On the other hand, is he pure in thought, holy in conversation, gracious in action? |
37915 | On whom or what am I leaning, at this moment? |
37915 | Perhaps not, but you have a_ heart_ for Christ? |
37915 | Peter? |
37915 | She presumes to place herself between God and the conscience; and who can do this with impunity? |
37915 | Should he, therefore, have concluded that he was not in his right place? |
37915 | Should this terrify us? |
37915 | Spake I not unto you, saying, Do not sin against the child; and ye would not hear? |
37915 | Still, why did not Abraham make choice of Sodom? |
37915 | The first step in her downward course was her hearkening to the question,"Hath God said?" |
37915 | The heart rejoices, after reading, six times, the sad record,"he died,"to find, that the seventh did not die; and when we ask, How was this? |
37915 | The knowledge of God is the source of life,--yea, is itself life; and until a man has life, what is he, or what can he be? |
37915 | The question for every believer is not,"what am I?" |
37915 | There lay the inheritance stretching out before the patriarch''s eye, in all its magnificent dimensions; but where was the heir? |
37915 | Therein I may see God''s power, his majesty, and his wisdom: but what if all these things should be ranged against me? |
37915 | This is referred to in Malachi, where we read,"I have loved you, saith the Lord; yet ye say, wherein hast thou loved us? |
37915 | This necessarily shuts man out, as regards his co- operation, for what can he do in the midst of a scene of death? |
37915 | Thus, in the chapter before us, the question,"Hath God said?" |
37915 | To admit the question,"hath God said?" |
37915 | To have spoken a word against Sodom and its ways would have been to condemn himself,--for why was he there? |
37915 | To make Ishmael better? |
37915 | To what am I looking? |
37915 | True, he finished his work,--blessedly, gloriously finished it,--but where did he spend the Sabbath- day? |
37915 | True, he had toiled to produce this offering; but what of that? |
37915 | Was Abraham''s call to Canaan a speculation? |
37915 | Was God''s truth dominant? |
37915 | Was he making a god of his present? |
37915 | Was it a mere theory about which he might talk or argue, while, at the same time, he continued in Charran? |
37915 | Was it an elevated, influential position in this world? |
37915 | Was it by having access to the page of God''s secret and eternal decrees? |
37915 | Was not Esau Jacob''s brother? |
37915 | Was the earth filled with the knowledge of the Lord? |
37915 | What could the Blessed One have seen in man, to lead him to seek for him? |
37915 | What did Lot gain in the way of happiness and contentment? |
37915 | What did they mean? |
37915 | What is our resource? |
37915 | What is the moral effect of this? |
37915 | What is the value of a chilling orthodoxy without a living Christ, known in all his powerful, personal attractions? |
37915 | What remedy could be devised for this? |
37915 | What rock? |
37915 | What shall we speak? |
37915 | What stranger could understand or appreciate it? |
37915 | What testimony was Lot in Sodom? |
37915 | What then? |
37915 | What then? |
37915 | What was the consequence? |
37915 | What was the goal of Christ''s earthly career? |
37915 | What wave could penetrate that ark which was"pitched within and without with pitch?" |
37915 | What will be the result of thus acting? |
37915 | What, then, are we to despise the unseen? |
37915 | What, then, was the remedy? |
37915 | What, therefore, are we to learn from the chapter before us? |
37915 | What, therefore, made the vast difference? |
37915 | Where are the cities of the plain,--those cities which were once all life, and stir, and bustle? |
37915 | Where are they now? |
37915 | Where could I see all these things but in the cross? |
37915 | Where could all these be displayed, but in a world of sinners? |
37915 | Where is Gomorrah? |
37915 | Where is the answer? |
37915 | Where is the divine warrant for such a statement? |
37915 | Where would it terminate? |
37915 | Where? |
37915 | Which was-- Abraham or Lot-- able to do the more good? |
37915 | Whither would it tend? |
37915 | Who could open what God had shut? |
37915 | Who could think of calling his faith in question? |
37915 | Who could touch Noah? |
37915 | Who sent them? |
37915 | Who would not honor him with the heart''s fullest confidence? |
37915 | Who would not trust him? |
37915 | Why did not the strife drive him into the world? |
37915 | Why select such a spot? |
37915 | Why so determined to weigh out the full price"current with the merchant?" |
37915 | Why was Abraham so particular about this purchase? |
37915 | Why was he so anxious to make good his claim to the field and cave of Ephron on righteous principles? |
37915 | Why was it not an occasion of stumbling to him? |
37915 | Why, therefore, contend for that which has no foundation in the Word? |
37915 | Why? |
37915 | Why? |
37915 | Why? |
37915 | Why? |
37915 | Will either God or man be satisfied with a powerless and profitless profession? |
37915 | Would he have said this if he had really entered into the meaning of prayer, or true dependence upon God? |
37915 | Would we like to walk with him? |
37915 | and the son of man that thou visitest him? |
37915 | but,"what is Christ?" |
37915 | or how shall we clear ourselves? |
37915 | reads it, if thou offer correctly,[ Greek: orthôs prosenenkês],) shalt thou not be accepted?" |
37915 | we read,"And Judah said, What shall we say unto my Lord? |
37915 | what is man? |
37915 | when?" |
37915 | where? |
27978 | ;( 13, 1):How long, O Jehovah? |
27978 | Why is it then, that ye so anxiously expect such great consolations from this present life as to seem incapable of ever being completely satisfied? 27978 ( Ps 11, 3):Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?" |
27978 | * Were all Ham''s descendents cursed? |
27978 | --that ye do not agree to the truth, that ye do not permit yourselves to be persuaded by that which is true? |
27978 | 147. Who can doubt, moreover, that Satan by this new species of temptation increased greatly the grief of our first parents? |
27978 | Adam therefore, as God''s representative, arraigns him with the words,"What hast thou done?" |
27978 | Also in Psalms, 12, 4:"Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?" |
27978 | And Gal 3, 1,"Who did bewitch you that ye should not obey the truth?" |
27978 | And also above, in this case of Cain,"If thou doest well, shall not thy countenance be lifted up?" |
27978 | And did not this at once prove his mind to be hostile against his brother? |
27978 | And he said, I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper?_ 118. |
27978 | And is the fact that God took Enoch to be understood as if the other patriarchs are neither with God nor living? |
27978 | And what did he effect with his pride? |
27978 | And what else could holy men do but weep when the world would in no wise permit itself to be corrected? |
27978 | And whence is this? |
27978 | And where was this land situated? |
27978 | And who does not know the vices of a more advanced age? |
27978 | And who opens the door? |
27978 | And who would doubt that he had other failings besides this thirst for glory? |
27978 | And why is this? |
27978 | And yet in the midst of all these mighty sins, they fear not, but are proud and secure, boasting and saying,"What can the righteous do?" |
27978 | Are not the purposes of God eternal and unalterable, incapable of being regretted? |
27978 | Are not those whom God threatens to no longer judge by his Spirit likewise the sons of God? |
27978 | Are the rest of us all in error? |
27978 | As Peter says( 2 Pet 2, 5), if he"spared not the ancient world,"how much less will he spare the popes or the emperors who rage against his Word? |
27978 | As if he had said: I have killed a man''tis true, but what is that to you? |
27978 | As when he says,"What man is there that hath built a new house, and hath not dedicated it? |
27978 | Awful is the voice of Christ when it utters the words,"Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" |
27978 | But do those extenuators have any Scriptural proof to rest upon? |
27978 | But does he not confess by the very word"brother"which he takes upon his lips that he ought to be his keeper? |
27978 | But does not Jacob become a servant when we see him, from fear of his brother, haste away into exile? |
27978 | But how does this principle agree with the commandment of God? |
27978 | But how is the destruction to be effected? |
27978 | But if such was their life, you may say, how could they maintain the appearance and reputation of holiness and righteousness? |
27978 | But is it not the Lord himself who has ordained kings and wills that all men should honor and obey them? |
27978 | But tell me, what language has there ever been that men easily have learned to speak from grammatical rules? |
27978 | But what does Moses mean by saying that the fountains of the great deep burst, and that the windows of heaven were opened? |
27978 | But what does he imagine? |
27978 | But what happens? |
27978 | But what is the need of so many words? |
27978 | But what success has Cain with his attempt? |
27978 | But when God, in this way, has shaken out the wheat and gathered the grain in its place, what, think you, shall be the future of the chaff? |
27978 | But who should dare to accuse God of untruthfulness because he preserves the Church in a manner unknown and undesired by man? |
27978 | But who would believe statements for which there is no authority in the Scriptures? |
27978 | But why does Noah not say,"Blessed be Shem,"instead of,"Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Shem"? |
27978 | But why does he deliver his discourse not before his church but at home, and only before his wives? |
27978 | But why does he treat the earth so ruthlessly since all this was done without her will? |
27978 | But why waste any more time upon immaterial matters, particularly as we see that the suggestions of the rabbis are not at all wise? |
27978 | But why, you may say, should God need to complain thus? |
27978 | But you say, what will be the meaning of this? |
27978 | But you will say, perhaps, Of what import is it that Noah first begat sons when he was five hundred years old? |
27978 | But, I ask you, what is the value of this figment? |
27978 | But, I ask you, who has given command to do those things? |
27978 | But, I ask, why is not complaint made also of the men, or why are not the daughters of God included in this complaint? |
27978 | But, you ask, if because of sin the nature of animals became completely altered, how could Noah control them, especially the savage and fierce ones? |
27978 | But, you say, why do they fear when they are stronger? |
27978 | Can he not when it pleases him suddenly destroy the whole world? |
27978 | Can you not discern the signs of the times? |
27978 | Can, then, the natural powers of man be said to have remained unimpaired, seeing that man''s thoughts are always set upon evil things? |
27978 | Could he have brought a stronger accusation against himself, in view of the fact that Christ immediately turns his words against him? |
27978 | Could words be more appalling than these, that Noah alone was righteous before the Lord? |
27978 | David uses the same verb:"If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?" |
27978 | Did God, then, permit man to use also the unclean animals for food? |
27978 | Did it exist before the flood? |
27978 | Did not Adam also, and Seth, and Cainan, together with their descendants-- did not all these, also, walk with God? |
27978 | Does he not, on his return home, supplicate his brother and fall on his knees before him? |
27978 | Does he sleep and care no longer for human affairs? |
27978 | Does not God safeguard the interests of Abel better than he could possibly have done himself? |
27978 | Dost thou alone please God? |
27978 | Dost thou believe that thou will be kept safe to the end, when waters are boundless, and those immense clouds seem to be inexhaustible? |
27978 | For how can any one explain what he does not understand? |
27978 | For how could the maiden rejoice in a marriage with her brother who was a murderer, accursed and excommunicated? |
27978 | For is it not much easier to be delivered from all danger and suffering in a single hour than to live for centuries amid colossal wickedness? |
27978 | For take away original sin, and what need is there of Christ at all? |
27978 | For that generation did not have the Word; how, then, could Lamech be believed to have been a prophet? |
27978 | For what evil exists that is not found in this present life? |
27978 | For what think you can be more horrible for our tyrants to hear than that the blood of the slain continually cries aloud and accuses them before God? |
27978 | For who was it that disclosed the murder committed by Cain? |
27978 | Had God not granted this power to man, what kind of lives, I ask you, would we lead? |
27978 | Had they believed that such a punishment was close at hand, would they have gone on in a feeling of security? |
27978 | Has anything more unnatural ever been heard? |
27978 | Has the world ever seen anything more cruel than the Turks? |
27978 | He did not say,"My Father, didst thou make me the keeper of my brother?" |
27978 | He might rather have thought: If the human race is to perish, why should I marry? |
27978 | He says:"When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" |
27978 | He thinks he made a most plausible excuse when he said,"Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
27978 | How can that voice be small or weak which, rising from earth, is heard by God in heaven? |
27978 | How can we reconcile such purpose of the creator with the fact that he destroyed all mankind except eight souls? |
27978 | How could Abel have inflicted on his brother such vengeance as God does, now that Abel is dead? |
27978 | How could he approve the corruption of such degenerate progeny? |
27978 | How could he, if alive, execute such judgment on his brother as God here executes? |
27978 | How would it otherwise be possible for a boy of ten years to control an entire herd of cattle? |
27978 | How, then, can anything be aught but evil that proceeds from ignorance and hatred of God? |
27978 | How, then, is it that the first world, called into being in this way through the Word, should, to use Peter''s expression, perish by water? |
27978 | How, then, was it true that Ham was cursed and Shem was blessed? |
27978 | I am quite certain that very wicked men once lived in this country of ours; how could we otherwise explain the parched soil and barren sands? |
27978 | If God foresees everything, why does the text say that he now first sees? |
27978 | If God is wise, how can regret for having created anything befall him? |
27978 | If a single spring could work such destruction what would be the result of the uncurbed power of ocean and seas? |
27978 | If it were otherwise, why should he forbid the taking of human life? |
27978 | If this is correct, then this passage is a witness for immortality; for how could God call to account a person who, being dead, no longer exists? |
27978 | If this was permitted to Noah, why should we not be permitted to choose certain forms of worship? |
27978 | If we believe this to be true, who would wish to be found among authorities, for whom so certain perdition is prepared and imminent? |
27978 | In addition to the immoderation characterizing our life, how much have the fruits themselves lost in excellence? |
27978 | In view of so great a sin, was it not quite gentle to inquire,"Where is Abel thy brother?" |
27978 | In what, therefore, consists the holiness they vaunt? |
27978 | Is it a wonder, then, that we become broken in spirit and desperate when God seems to have cast us away and everything goes against us? |
27978 | Is it anything but a doctrine of works? |
27978 | Is it because the sin of Cain, as a murderer, was greater than the sin of Adam and Eve? |
27978 | Is it not a miracle that those eight human beings did not die from grief and fear? |
27978 | Is it not because he was born of us, and because we, through our sin, are what we are? |
27978 | Is it not true that the very languages most thoroughly reduced to rules, like Greek and Latin, are learned rather by practice? |
27978 | Is it wonderful, then, that he deals with the Papists in the same way? |
27978 | Is not Isaac also seen to be a most miserable beggar? |
27978 | Is not the converse the truth? |
27978 | Is not this, I pray you, a shocking corruption of the text before us? |
27978 | Is the Word of God untruthful? |
27978 | Justly under indictment for murder, he presently becomes the accuser of God, and expostulates with him:"Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
27978 | Likewise Samuel-- what does he not do for Saul? |
27978 | Many descriptions of cruelty are to be found on every hand, but could any be painted as more atrocious and execrable than is the case here? |
27978 | May it not be that the apostles had revelations which St. Augustine and others did not have? |
27978 | Men may therefore inquire, Where is the curse of the wicked? |
27978 | Moreover, how is it likely that an ungodly person asks death at the very time when God exercises judgment? |
27978 | Notwithstanding, what is their life and religion but incessant murder, robbery, rapine and other horrible outrages? |
27978 | Now comes the thought: What is God doing? |
27978 | Now, when the fact of this shameful murder was made known to the parents, what do we think must have been the sad scenes resulting? |
27978 | On the contrary, though being the accused, he himself accuses God by replying,"Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
27978 | Ought we not, therefore, to sigh for those future things, and to hate those of the present? |
27978 | Shall we all be damned? |
27978 | Shall we, then, consider such people to be the Church? |
27978 | Should I, says he, endure forever such contempt for my Word? |
27978 | Should we not, then, fear the judgment of God, such as he here announces to the old world? |
27978 | Since government had been turned into tyranny and the home vitiated by adultery and whoredom, how could punishment be delayed any longer? |
27978 | Such voices occur here and there in the Psalms( 10, 1):"Why standest thou afar off? |
27978 | The hungry he hath filled with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away"? |
27978 | The priests and bishops heap contempt upon us, saying, What can those poverty stricken heretics do? |
27978 | The question arises, how can God be truthful here? |
27978 | The rabbins, however, expound the passage as a denial in the form of a question, as if he had said,"Is my iniquity greater than can be remitted?" |
27978 | The wretched Papists press us today with this one argument: Do you believe that all the fathers have been in error? |
27978 | Then God is not such a being as to promise deliverance from sin and death through the seed of woman? |
27978 | Then the matter itself serves as refutation, for could anything more absurd have been devised? |
27978 | There is no doubt that a depraved generation hated him inordinately, tantalized him in various ways and thus insulted him:"Art thou alone wise? |
27978 | There was a common proverb of old,"What is it to the Romans that the Greeks die?" |
27978 | They are all gone aside?" |
27978 | They reason thus: This minister is poor and despised; why then should he reprove me, a prince, a nobleman, a magistrate? |
27978 | They reasoned thus: If God is at all angry, can he not correct the disobedient by the sword, by pestilence? |
27978 | This calamity they saw with their own eyes; who would doubt that they were violently stirred by the sight? |
27978 | This expression is used by Paul in Gal 1, 10, where he says,"Am I now persuading men or God?" |
27978 | To him who kept Jonah for three days in the midst of the sea and in the belly of the whale, what do you think is impossible? |
27978 | To how many diseases, to what great dangers, to what dreadful calamities, is it not subject? |
27978 | Upon this, Cain, becoming abusive, makes answer to his parents, by no means with due reverence,"I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
27978 | Was it not sufficient for him to perish alone, that he must join to himself a companion for the disaster? |
27978 | Was it not, as the text here tells us, the blood of Abel, fairly deafening with its constant cries the ears of God and men? |
27978 | Was not sin the cause? |
27978 | We say it was a transition, but was it not a revolution? |
27978 | We will dismiss innumerable other questions such as: What kind of air was used in the ark? |
27978 | What can be more splendid than this name? |
27978 | What could Adam and Seth teach greater or better than that the great deliverer, Christ, was promised to their posterity? |
27978 | What if the Turk should obtain sway over the whole world, which he never will? |
27978 | What is in store after our death? |
27978 | What is more ludicrous than that the Egyptians adored the calf Apis as the supreme godhead? |
27978 | What is the cause of this grave state of affairs? |
27978 | What is the cause of wrath so great? |
27978 | What is the object of this lying invention but to cause us to do away with Christ altogether? |
27978 | What is the reason for this feeling of security? |
27978 | What lamentations? |
27978 | What may we imagine the condition to have been in such a long existence, in which the bitterness and vehemence of human nature were even stronger? |
27978 | What monk is there who could affirm that he did anything right? |
27978 | What noteworthy thing is it to teach that servants should obey their master and children their parents? |
27978 | What orator could do justice to the scene which Moses depicts in one word:"Cain rose up against his brother?" |
27978 | What people in America can show a worse religious record? |
27978 | What shall I do, therefore? |
27978 | What shall we say here? |
27978 | What sighs and groans? |
27978 | What sin should it be if one, happening upon a nude person, should see what is before him without his will? |
27978 | What utterances could evince more contempt than these in the face of open sins? |
27978 | What will be our fate in the frenzy, so to speak, that shall befall the world in its dotage? |
27978 | What, in consequence, are we to do? |
27978 | What, then shall we say of the inward vices when unbelief, presumption, neglect of the Word, and wicked views grow up? |
27978 | What, then, shall we expect where such walls do not exist, where there is no Church at all? |
27978 | What, then, shall we poor, oppressed people do? |
27978 | What, then, you will ask, shall we declare with reference to these examples? |
27978 | What, therefore, could possibly have come into the mind of Jerome when he believed the rabbins, who say Cain was expostulating with his brother? |
27978 | What, therefore, is it to me that I am driven by my father from beneath his roof? |
27978 | When she sees these ministrations to be unavailing, what else can she do but feel grievous pain at the destruction of the impenitent? |
27978 | When, then, such broodings found their way also into the weak souls of the women, what cries, wails and tears may we surmise to have been the result? |
27978 | Where art thou?" |
27978 | Where is the blessing of the godly? |
27978 | Where is wickedness? |
27978 | Where then are we to seek the truth of this prophecy? |
27978 | Where were Luther''s spirit and writings among his early American followers? |
27978 | Where will you find such eminent examples of chastity in the papacy? |
27978 | Where, then, did Cain live with his wife? |
27978 | Where, then, is vice in this case? |
27978 | Which way can I turn, wretched man that I am?" |
27978 | Whither can I flee? |
27978 | Whither should they flee when the waters poured in upon them with such force? |
27978 | Who can tell why God so permits? |
27978 | Who of us, on finding a stranger lying by the wayside drunk and nude, would not at least cover him with his own coat to forestall disgrace? |
27978 | Who would not prefer that they should embrace the Word and recover their senses? |
27978 | Who would not prefer to live on a lowly plane and suffer hunger? |
27978 | Who would rejoice in the eternal damnation of the popes and their followers? |
27978 | Why did Caesar rule the world? |
27978 | Why did Wesley''s followers become the dominating religious force in America? |
27978 | Why did he not see this sin or depraved nature of man from the beginning of the world? |
27978 | Why did others obey him, since he was only human like themselves-- no better, no stronger and liable to die as soon as themselves? |
27978 | Why did the beasts here lose their fear of man? |
27978 | Why did they not see the daughters of God and desire those in the Church and possess the promise of the seed? |
27978 | Why did they rage against man? |
27978 | Why do they not notice the repeated testimony of Moses, that Enoch"walked with God"? |
27978 | Why do they not rather urge the real cause, that it was a special gift that Noah, a vigorous man, abstained from marriage for five hundred years? |
27978 | Why does Paul elsewhere complain, and in Romans 7, 18 freely confess that there is nothing good in him? |
27978 | Why does Scripture thus attribute to God such things as a temporary will, vision and purpose? |
27978 | Why does he bestow such high praise on the latter only? |
27978 | Why does he not bestow the same praise upon the other patriarchs? |
27978 | Why does he not punish his enemy? |
27978 | Why dost thou heap upon them all manner of favors, while I, with my family, am greatly harassed and almost without assistance? |
27978 | Why is it then, we repeat, that Moses does not laud Enosh equally with Enoch? |
27978 | Why is this? |
27978 | Why not make four beginnings, since there are four distinct seasons according to the equinoxes and solstices? |
27978 | Why should I beget sons? |
27978 | Why should pestilence be of rare occurrence? |
27978 | Why should they say concerning Enoch in particular, that he was subject to the evil desires of the flesh? |
27978 | Why was it? |
27978 | Why, then, do rainbows assume different forms at different times? |
27978 | Why, then, do we absurdly boast of free- will? |
27978 | Why, then, does God give such careful instruction with reference to dimensions and materials? |
27978 | Why, then, does Moses ascribe this great honor to Enoch only? |
27978 | Why, then, does Moses discriminate in favor of Enoch? |
27978 | Why, therefore, does Moses call it a sin? |
27978 | Why? |
27978 | Will Turk and Pope thereby escape death, or even secure permanence of temporal power? |
27978 | Would it not be awful enough to partition the earth into three parts and to threaten destruction to one? |
27978 | Would they not rather have repented and begun a better life? |
27978 | You may ask: Why does God prescribe everything so accurately? |
27978 | You may say, however: What kind of a window was it, or how could it exist in those frequent and violent rains? |
27978 | _ And Jehovah said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? |
27978 | _ And he said, What hast thou done? |
27978 | or why should there be need for Japheth to be beguiled or persuaded, and that by God himself? |
26 | O father, what intends thy hand,she cried,"Against thy only son? |
26 | Wherefore cease we, then? |
26 | Ah, why should all mankind, For one man''s fault, thus guiltless be condemned, It guiltless? |
26 | Among unequals what society Can sort, what harmony, or true delight? |
26 | And am I now upbraided as the cause Of thy transgressing? |
26 | And do they only stand By ignorance? |
26 | And know''st for whom? |
26 | And what are Gods, that Man may not become As they, participating God- like food? |
26 | And what is faith, love, virtue, unassayed Alone, without exteriour help sustained? |
26 | And who knows, Let this be good, whether our angry Foe Can give it, or will ever? |
26 | And, though God Made thee without thy leave, what if thy son Prove disobedient, and reproved, retort,"Wherefore didst thou beget me? |
26 | As he our darkness, can not we his light Imitate when we please? |
26 | Being as I am, why didst not thou, the head, Command me absolutely not to go, Going into such danger, as thou saidst? |
26 | Book III Hail, holy Light, offspring of Heaven firstborn, Or of the Eternal coeternal beam May I express thee unblam''d? |
26 | But fallen he is; and now What rests, but that the mortal sentence pass On his transgression,--death denounced that day? |
26 | But from me what can proceed, But all corrupt; both mind and will depraved Not to do only, but to will the same With me? |
26 | But have I now seen Death? |
26 | But is there yet no other way, besides These painful passages, how we may come To death, and mix with our connatural dust? |
26 | But past who can recall, or done undo? |
26 | But say, What meant that caution joined, If ye be found Obedient? |
26 | But say, if our Deliverer up to Heaven Must re- ascend, what will betide the few His faithful, left among the unfaithful herd, The enemies of truth? |
26 | But say, what mean those coloured streaks in Heaven Distended, as the brow of God appeased? |
26 | But to Adam in what sort Shall I appear? |
26 | But to convince the proud what signs avail, Or wonders move the obdurate to relent? |
26 | But what if better counsels might erect Our minds, and teach us to cast off this yoke? |
26 | But what will not ambition and revenge Descend to? |
26 | But wherefore all night long shine these? |
26 | But wherefore thou alone? |
26 | But whom send I to judge them? |
26 | But, first, whom shall we send In search of this new World? |
26 | But, if death Bind us with after- bands, what profits then Our inward freedom? |
26 | Can he make deathless death? |
26 | Can it be death? |
26 | Can it be sin to know? |
26 | Can thus The image of God in Man, created once So goodly and erect, though faulty since, To such unsightly sufferings be debased Under inhuman pains? |
26 | Did I request thee, Maker, from my clay To mould me Man? |
26 | Doctrine which we would know whence learned: who saw When this creation was? |
26 | Dwells in all Heaven charity so dear? |
26 | Faithful to whom? |
26 | First, what revenge? |
26 | For though the Lord of all be infinite, Is his wrath also? |
26 | For us alone Was death invented? |
26 | For, what admirest thou, what transports thee so, An outside? |
26 | Forbid who will, none shall from me withhold Longer thy offered good; why else set here?" |
26 | Gabriel? |
26 | Hadst thou the same free will and power to stand? |
26 | Hast thou eaten of the tree, Whereof I gave thee charge thou shouldst not eat? |
26 | Hast thou not made me here thy substitute, And these inferiour far beneath me set? |
26 | Hast thou not wondered, Adam, at my stay? |
26 | High matter thou enjoinest me, O prime of men, Sad task and hard: For how shall I relate To human sense the invisible exploits Of warring Spirits? |
26 | How can he exercise Wrath without end on Man, whom death must end? |
26 | How can they then acquitted stand In sight of God? |
26 | How comes it thus? |
26 | How dies the Serpent? |
26 | If thence he scape, into whatever world, Or unknown region, what remains him less Than unknown dangers, and as hard escape? |
26 | In heavenly Spirits could such perverseness dwell? |
26 | In plain then, what forbids he but to know, Forbids us good, forbids us to be wise? |
26 | In solitude What happiness, who can enjoy alone, Or, all enjoying, what contentment find? |
26 | Is knowledge so despised? |
26 | Is not the Earth With various living creatures, and the air Replenished, and all these at thy command To come and play before thee? |
26 | Is that their happy state, The proof of their obedience and their faith? |
26 | Is this the end Of this new glorious world, and me so late The glory of that glory, who now become Accursed, of blessed? |
26 | Is this the way I must return to native dust? |
26 | Is this, then, worst-- Thus sitting, thus consulting, thus in arms? |
26 | It was but breath Of life that sinned; what dies but what had life And sin? |
26 | Know ye not then said Satan, filled with scorn, Know ye not me? |
26 | Knowest thou not Their language and their ways? |
26 | Me first He ruined, now Mankind; whom will he next?" |
26 | Meanwhile war arose, And fields were fought in Heaven: wherein remained( For what could else?) |
26 | Must I thus leave thee Paradise? |
26 | My voice thou oft hast heard, and hast not feared, But still rejoiced; how is it now become So dreadful to thee? |
26 | O Earth, how like to Heaven, if not preferred For what God, after better, worse would build? |
26 | O Teacher, some great mischief hath befallen To that meek man, who well had sacrificed; Is piety thus and pure devotion paid? |
26 | O, then, at last relent: Is there no place Left for repentance, none for pardon left? |
26 | Only begotten Son, seest thou what rage Transports our Adversary? |
26 | Or envy, or what reserve forbids to taste? |
26 | Or have ye chosen this place After the toil of battle to repose Your wearied virtue, for the ease you find To slumber here, as in the vales of Heaven? |
26 | Or hear''st thou rather pure ethereal stream, Whose fountain who shall tell? |
26 | Or is it envy? |
26 | Or serve they, as a flowery verge, to bind The fluid skirts of that same watery cloud, Lest it again dissolve, and shower the earth? |
26 | Or shall the Adversary thus obtain His end, and frustrate thine? |
26 | Or when we lay Chained on the burning lake? |
26 | Our Maker bids encrease; who bids abstain But our Destroyer, foe to God and Man? |
26 | Peace is despaired; For who can think submission? |
26 | Proud, art thou met? |
26 | Satan, I know thy strength, and thou knowest mine; Neither our own, but given: What folly then To boast what arms can do? |
26 | Say they who counsel war;"we are decreed, Reserved, and destined to eternal woe; Whatever doing, what can we suffer more, What can we suffer worse?" |
26 | Say, Woman, what is this which thou hast done? |
26 | Say, heavenly Powers, where shall we find such love? |
26 | Seem I to thee sufficiently possessed Of happiness, or not? |
26 | Serpent, thy overpraising leaves in doubt The virtue of that fruit, in thee first proved: But say, where grows the tree? |
26 | Shall Truth fail to keep her word, Justice Divine not hasten to be just? |
26 | Shall that be shut to Man, which to the Beast Is open? |
26 | Shall we, then, live thus vile-- the race of Heaven Thus trampled, thus expelled, to suffer here Chains and these torments? |
26 | Shalt thou give law to God? |
26 | Sight so deform what heart of rock could long Dry- eyed behold? |
26 | Sleepest thou, Companion dear? |
26 | That thou art naked, who Hath told thee? |
26 | That we were formed then sayest thou? |
26 | The former, vain to hope, argues as vain The latter; for what place can be for us Within Heaven''s bound, unless Heaven''s Lord supreme We overpower? |
26 | Their song was partial; but the harmony( What could it less when Spirits immortal sing?) |
26 | This deep world Of darkness do we dread? |
26 | This evening from the sun''s decline arrived, Who tells of some infernal Spirit seen Hitherward bent( who could have thought?) |
26 | Thou art my father, thou my author, thou My being gav''st me; whom should I obey But thee? |
26 | Thou hadst: whom hast thou then or what to accuse, But Heaven''s free love dealt equally to all? |
26 | Thou to me thy thoughts Wast wo nt, I mine to thee was wo nt to impart; Both waking we were one; how then can now Thy sleep dissent? |
26 | To the loss of that, Sufficient penalty, why hast thou added The sense of endless woes? |
26 | To whom the Goblin, full of wrath, replied:--"Art thou that traitor Angel? |
26 | Was I to have never parted from thy side? |
26 | Was she thy God, that her thou didst obey Before his voice? |
26 | Was this your discipline and faith engaged, Your military obedience, to dissolve Allegiance to the acknowledged Power supreme? |
26 | What callest thou solitude? |
26 | What can it the avail though yet we feel Strength undiminished, or eternal being To undergo eternal punishment?" |
26 | What can your knowledge hurt him, or this tree Impart against his will, if all be his? |
26 | What could I do, But follow straight, invisibly thus led? |
26 | What fear I then? |
26 | What fear we then? |
26 | What fury, O son, Possesses thee to bend that mortal dart Against thy father''s head? |
26 | What if the sun Be center to the world; and other stars, By his attractive virtue and their own Incited, dance about him various rounds? |
26 | What if we find Some easier enterprise? |
26 | What matter where, if I be still the same, And what I should be, all but less than he Whom thunder hath made greater? |
26 | What may this mean? |
26 | What should they do? |
26 | What sit we then projecting peace and war? |
26 | What sleep can close Thy eye- lids? |
26 | What strength, what art, can then Suffice, or what evasion bear him safe, Through the strict senteries and stations thick Of Angels watching round? |
26 | What thinkest thou then of me, and this my state? |
26 | What though the field be lost? |
26 | What when we fled amain, pursued and struck With Heaven''s afflicting thunder, and besought The Deep to shelter us? |
26 | What will they then But force the Spirit of Grace itself, and bind His consort Liberty? |
26 | What wonder? |
26 | Where art thou, Adam, wo nt with joy to meet My coming seen far off? |
26 | Which of those rebel Spirits adjudged to Hell Comest thou, escaped thy prison? |
26 | Which of you will be mortal, to redeem Man''s mortal crime, and just the unjust to save? |
26 | Who can in reason then, or right, assume Monarchy over such as live by right His equals, if in power and splendour less, In freedom equal? |
26 | Who first seduced them to that foul revolt? |
26 | Who of all ages to succeed, but, feeling The evil on him brought by me, will curse My head? |
26 | Who then shall guide His people, who defend? |
26 | Whose but his own? |
26 | Why comes not Death, Said he, with one thrice- acceptable stroke To end me? |
26 | Why delays His hand to execute what his decree Fixed on this day? |
26 | Why do I overlive, Why am I mocked with death, and lengthened out To deathless pain? |
26 | Why else this double object in our sight Of flight pursued in the air, and o''er the ground, One way the self- same hour? |
26 | Why is life given To be thus wrested from us? |
26 | Why should not Man, Retaining still divine similitude In part, from such deformities be free, And, for his Maker''s image sake, exempt? |
26 | Why should their Lord Envy them that? |
26 | Why shouldst not thou like sense within thee feel When I am present, and thy trial choose With me, best witness of thy virtue tried? |
26 | Why then was this forbid? |
26 | Why, but to awe; Why, but to keep ye low and ignorant, His worshippers? |
26 | Will he draw out, For anger''s sake, finite to infinite, In punished Man, to satisfy his rigour, Satisfied never? |
26 | Will they not deal Worse with his followers than with him they dealt? |
26 | Will ye submit your necks, and choose to bend The supple knee? |
26 | Wouldst thou admit for his contempt of thee That proud excuse? |
26 | Wouldst thou approve thy constancy, approve First thy obedience; the other who can know, Not seeing thee attempted, who attest? |
26 | Yet why? |
26 | and can envy dwell In heavenly breasts? |
26 | and the work Of secondary hands, by task transferred From Father to his Son? |
26 | and what is one? |
26 | and wherein lies The offence, that Man should thus attain to know? |
26 | and, transformed, Why sat''st thou like an enemy in wait, Here watching at the head of these that sleep? |
26 | but double how endured, To one, and to his image now proclaimed? |
26 | but what we more affect, Honour, dominion, glory, and renown; Who have sustained one day in doubtful fight,( And if one day, why not eternal days?) |
26 | by looks only? |
26 | by the fruit? |
26 | couldst thou support That burden, heavier than the earth to bear; Than all the world much heavier, though divided With that bad Woman? |
26 | did I solicit thee From darkness to promote me, or here place In this delicious garden? |
26 | do not believe Those rigid threats of death: ye shall not die: How should you? |
26 | expressed Immutable, when thou wert lost, not I; Who might have lived, and joyed immortal bliss, Yet willingly chose rather death with thee? |
26 | for what can I encrease, Or multiply, but curses on my head? |
26 | for whom This glorious sight, when sleep hath shut all eyes? |
26 | for, on earth, Who against faith and conscience can be heard Infallible? |
26 | from hence how far? |
26 | hath God then said that of the fruit Of all these garden- trees ye shall not eat, Yet Lords declared of all in earth or air? |
26 | how last unfold The secrets of another world, perhaps Not lawful to reveal? |
26 | how, without remorse, The ruin of so many glorious once And perfect while they stood? |
26 | it gives you life To knowledge; by the threatener? |
26 | language of man pronounced By tongue of brute, and human sense expressed? |
26 | of evil, if what is evil Be real, why not known, since easier shunned? |
26 | or can introduce Law and edict on us, who without law Err not? |
26 | or do they mix Irradiance, virtual or immediate touch? |
26 | or more than this, that we are dust, And thither must return, and be no more? |
26 | or these titles now Must we renounce, and, changing style, be called Princes of Hell? |
26 | or thou than they Less hardy to endure? |
26 | or to us denied This intellectual food, for beasts reserved? |
26 | or will God incense his ire For such a petty trespass? |
26 | or wilt thou thyself Abolish thy creation, and unmake For him, what for thy glory thou hast made? |
26 | rather, what know to fear Under this ignorance of good and evil, Of God or death, of law or penalty? |
26 | rather, why Obtruded on us thus? |
26 | rememberest thou Thy making, while the Maker gave thee being? |
26 | these happy walks and shades, Fit haunt of Gods? |
26 | to thy rebellious crew? |
26 | what are these, Death''s ministers, not men? |
26 | what doubt we to incense His utmost ire? |
26 | what praise could they receive? |
26 | what, but unbuild His living temples, built by faith to stand, Their own faith, not another''s? |
26 | when meet now Such pairs, in love and mutual honour joined? |
26 | wherefore with thee Came not all hell broke loose? |
26 | wherefore, but in hope To dispossess him, and thyself to reign? |
26 | which way shall I fly Infinite wrath, and infinite despair? |
26 | whom but thee, Vicegerent Son? |
26 | whom follow? |
26 | whom shall we find Sufficient? |
48193 | And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? |
48193 | Who told thee that thou wast naked? |
48193 | ( Why hast thou done this?) |
48193 | 12:4? |
48193 | 30:3,"What is his name, and what is his Son''s name, if thou knowest?" |
48193 | Adam therefore then speaks openly in the person of God and at once convicts him of the murder, saying,"What hast thou done?" |
48193 | Although we thus speak upon these things what have they to do after all with the sacred text before us? |
48193 | And God blessed them._ Why did not God pronounce the Word of blessing upon the above inanimate bodies of his creation also? |
48193 | And did not this speech at once prove that his mind was in a state of hostility against his brother? |
48193 | And does he not moreover strike into the mind of his parents a surmise of the murder committed? |
48193 | And had he not also heard the voice of Jehovah before, when Jehovah forbade him to eat the fruit of that tree? |
48193 | And he said, I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper?_ Good God! |
48193 | And how miserably was their nation destroyed at last? |
48193 | And how? |
48193 | And if there are some who do not believe, but fiercely oppose this doctrine, what is that to us? |
48193 | And it is also inquired, why if such be a punishment God here says,"I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception?" |
48193 | And what avails also the glorying of the Jews that God spoke unto them by Moses? |
48193 | And what could be more indescribably horrible, than thus to flee from God and to hide themselves from his sight? |
48193 | And what does the Creator here say? |
48193 | And what is this Word and what does it do? |
48193 | And what of pleasures and of ease? |
48193 | And what says Plato here? |
48193 | And what shall we further say of hatred toward God and blasphemies of all kinds? |
48193 | And what was the effect of his pride? |
48193 | And when also the Lord threatened after the fall of Adam, that it should come to pass that the earth should bring forth thorns and thistles? |
48193 | And whence in most instances arose this perversion of things? |
48193 | And whence is this? |
48193 | And whether there are more gods than one? |
48193 | And who after all told him that there were nine choirs of heavenly beings and potentates? |
48193 | And who now openeth the door? |
48193 | And why call they a wife an evil? |
48193 | And why is this? |
48193 | And why moreover did the Franciscans afterward add a tenth sphere, as a sort of palace, in which the holy mother Mary might dwell? |
48193 | And yet, what was more necessary to us than this very institution of baptism? |
48193 | And yet, what were they persecuting all the while? |
48193 | And yet, what would have been their dominion over all created animals without this knowledge? |
48193 | Another question may be, whether the whole original earth may be called paradise? |
48193 | Are all these woeful things proofs, I pray you, that the qualities and faculties of man''s original nature still remain sound and whole? |
48193 | Are not these pure follies, and mere creatures of the brain without fruit or profit? |
48193 | Are then those who are married unclean? |
48193 | Are these things, I pray you, proofs that human nature is whole and uncorrupted? |
48193 | Are we to conclude, think you, that Adam, the first teacher, was a teacher less than Moses? |
48193 | As this was the sum and substance of her sin, for plucking the apple was not the sum of her sin, how was it that death did not immediately follow? |
48193 | Because my thoughts run thus: If God pardoned sins and errors in them why should I despair of pardon from him? |
48193 | Before, when he said in his satanic insidiousness,"Hath God, indeed, thus commanded you?" |
48193 | But I would here ask in the first place, why God did not use this same expression before in the creation of the previous creatures? |
48193 | But as I have all along said, labor and protection are now hard and difficult terms? |
48193 | But as to the very spot on which he was created, what necessity is there for our knowing that? |
48193 | But does not Jacob become a servant when we see him a most distressed supplicant? |
48193 | But has not this divine institution become a great scandal and excitement of offense by means of various sects? |
48193 | But have not the impious Papists suffered the righteous punishments of such blasphemies? |
48193 | But how does this principle agree with the commandment of God? |
48193 | But how few are there who do this in truth and from the heart? |
48193 | But how is that, some one may say? |
48193 | But how long? |
48193 | But into what extremes of turpitude did they fall? |
48193 | But is not this, I pray you, the positive profaning of sacred things? |
48193 | But is there not in marriage a blessing which infinitely surpasses all the punishments of original sin with which it is afflicted? |
48193 | But my judgment is, that the weight of the matter does not rest on this particle of expression why? |
48193 | But now how far does the wild boar exceed man in the sense of hearing, the eagle in sight, and the lion in strength? |
48193 | But ought we not to believe also and know that we have this man for our father and that woman for our mother? |
48193 | But since reason is filled with ignorance of God and aversion to the will of God, how can reason be called good in this sense? |
48193 | But to say nothing about children, give me the most learned doctor in all the world; how otherwise will even he speak and teach concerning God? |
48193 | But to what purpose is all this far- fetched Introduction? |
48193 | But to what, I pray you, does all this glory of origin amount? |
48193 | But what doctrine can be worse than this? |
48193 | But what is the meaning of Moses when he says,"And let them be for signs,"etc.? |
48193 | But what need, I pray you, friendly reader, is there of all such darkness of the most absurd allegories in all this clear light of the truth? |
48193 | But what shall we say to that text of the New Testament,"Today shalt thou be with me in paradise,"Luke 23:43? |
48193 | But who can find language capable of describing the glory of that state of innocency, which we have lost? |
48193 | But who is it that gives such firmness to this most volatile and fluctuating substance? |
48193 | But who shall render a reason for those things, which he sees the Divine Majesty to have permitted to be done? |
48193 | But who would believe that for which there is no authority in the Scriptures? |
48193 | But why do we dwell so long on these diseases only? |
48193 | But why does he speak of the earth in terms so terrible, when all these horrid things were transacted without her will or knowledge? |
48193 | But why multiply words? |
48193 | But why should I enlarge? |
48193 | But why should I proceed? |
48193 | By what? |
48193 | Can he not after that poor body is laid in the tomb raise it again to another and a new life? |
48193 | Can the punishments of such then be very far off? |
48193 | Can there be any doubt or obscurity then in forming a judgment concerning the true Church? |
48193 | Do not almost all of us live in the continual and most shameful abuse of the gifts of God? |
48193 | Do we not then, from all these considerations, feel how foul and horrible a thing sin is? |
48193 | Does he not from fear of his brother haste away into exile? |
48193 | Does he not on his return home supplicate his brother and fall on his knees before him? |
48193 | Does not the text here tell us that the accuser was the blood of the murdered Abel? |
48193 | Does not this allegory, used by the apostle, beautifully refer to the historical facts recorded by Moses as its foundation? |
48193 | For could any one be found who would believe this fact concerning the creation of Eve, if it were not thus openly declared? |
48193 | For curious men inquire, why God permitted so much to Satan as to tempt Eve? |
48193 | For have not offenses of errors and heresies, infinite, arisen on account both of the Law and of the Gospel? |
48193 | For he that spares not his Creator himself, how shall he be likely to spare the creature? |
48193 | For his will is, that we should all live together, and be to each other as brethren? |
48193 | For how can that reason be said to be right, which hates God? |
48193 | For how can we understand that order which God approves as such? |
48193 | For how could that be a mere nothing which was already of such material and substance that Moses calls it"the heavens and the earth"? |
48193 | For how could we be humbled if our nature were not pressed down to the earth with burdens like these? |
48193 | For how is it possible that such persons should be right judges of things which they do not understand? |
48193 | For how otherwise can man talk with man concerning God? |
48193 | For if God can make bread of a stone, why should he not be able to preserve the natural powers of man by a fruit? |
48193 | For if they really did feel the evils of their ways would they not forsake them? |
48193 | For should that be true how could it be written that God took from Adam one of his ribs and built a woman out of it? |
48193 | For what are those things to me, which God did before the world was made, or how can I comprehend them? |
48193 | For what beginning will reason find in nothing? |
48193 | For what can reason do or what light can it give in the divine matter of religion? |
48193 | For what does it concern us to know whether those in paradise walked about naked or clothed in raiment? |
48193 | For what else was this than being cast out of the Church and excommunicated? |
48193 | For what is better, or more precious, or more delightful, than life? |
48193 | For what is softer than water? |
48193 | For what is the whole creation but the word of God spoken forth or uttered? |
48193 | For what monk ever existed who could affirm or know that he did any one thing rightly? |
48193 | For what need is there of the Word to procure meat and drink, thus created for us beforehand? |
48193 | For what need would there be of God''s speaking to us by his Word, if we were not designed to live another and eternal life after this life? |
48193 | For what place is there here for the exercise of reverence? |
48193 | For what sin could any man commit who had as yet no existence?" |
48193 | For what sufferings of the body, equal to those we just described, does man endure? |
48193 | For what was the whole of that Economy, but a school and library of these books? |
48193 | For what will you determine concerning things that were before and beyond time? |
48193 | For whither shall the heart flee when thus dreading the presence of God? |
48193 | For who entertains a doubt, that if our bishops and certain furious princes could do it, they would slaughter us all in one moment? |
48193 | For who was it that betrayed Cain and accused him of having slain his brother? |
48193 | For who will dare to say that God is one of the angels, or that an angel is one of the_ us_, the ELOHIM? |
48193 | For whoever saw a miser to be racked with pain while an opportunity of great gain stood before him? |
48193 | For why dared they despise such goodness of the divine majesty? |
48193 | For why should not God communicate his name unto us, seeing that he communicates to us his power, and his office? |
48193 | For, what could be uttered more deep or sweet than that the Church is the spouse and Christ the bridegroom? |
48193 | Has not the whole doctrine of baptism been distressingly corrupted? |
48193 | Hath God said that ye shall_ not_ eat of every tree of the garden? |
48193 | He did not call Satan to him and say,"Why hast thou done this?" |
48193 | He did not say,"My Father, didst thou make me the keeper of my brother?" |
48193 | He thinks he has made a most plausible excuse, when he says,"Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
48193 | Hence, Arius reasons and inquires, Do you really think that Christ is God, when he himself says,"My Father is greater than I?" |
48193 | His language then was,"Where art thou?" |
48193 | How aptly, becomingly and gracefully, do even little girls carry infants in their bosom? |
48193 | How can I read Luther when I have not his books and I can not afford to purchase them? |
48193 | How can it be true, say they, that God made no new thing, when it is evident that the bow of heaven or the rainbow was created in the time of Noah? |
48193 | How can that will be said to be good, which resists the will of God and refuses to obey God? |
48193 | How could he, if alive, execute such awful judgment on his brother as God here executes? |
48193 | How could the pupils and teacher differ from the books they studied? |
48193 | How has it come about? |
48193 | How many are there, whom the fire and the water destroy? |
48193 | How many evils are wrought by destructive birds and noxious caterpillars? |
48193 | How much peril threatens men from ferocious and venomous beasts and other noxious creatures? |
48193 | How often also does it happen that human beings are devoured alive by wild beasts, and have the bellies of those beasts for their tombs? |
48193 | How often is it repeated in Ecclesiastes? |
48193 | How then could the offering of Cain ever have been more acceptable to God than that of Abel on account of his primogeniture? |
48193 | How then shall we understand those things which exceed all our faculties and senses, and are found in the Word of God alone? |
48193 | How then should they be able to explain successfully such passages of the Scriptures? |
48193 | How was it that Eve did not yet feel her sin? |
48193 | How was it that she did not feel so mighty a sin? |
48193 | How was it that then he stood with uplifted countenance and with joy before him, rejoicing in his presence and delighting to hear him speak? |
48193 | I would demand secondly what the creation of man had to do with angels or angels with it? |
48193 | If our first father Adam could return on earth, think you not that he would laugh at, or rather wonder at, this madness of appetite in his sons? |
48193 | If this be so, where is the article of the creed concerning creation? |
48193 | In a word, on what subjects can we meditate and what things can we commit to paper more useful and important than these? |
48193 | In all these cases ever think thus with thyself: Has God ever added to these things his Word of Command and his Word of Promise? |
48193 | In so awful a sin therefore was it not a most kind and gentle manner of expression to inquire,"Where is Abel thy brother?" |
48193 | In the same manner also the Sacramentarians ask, Do you really think that the bread is the body and the wine the blood of Christ? |
48193 | Indeed was not the heaven adorned with that light, which was created on the first day? |
48193 | Is it because the sin of Cain, as a murderer, was greater than the sin of Adam and Eve? |
48193 | Is it not because he was born of us, and because we through our sin are what we are? |
48193 | Is it not most mighty, both in concupiscence and in disgust? |
48193 | Is it not then the height of wickedness thus to confound passages of Scripture in causes of such solemn moment? |
48193 | Is it not worthy of admiration that God instituted and ordained marriage even in the state of innocency? |
48193 | Is not Isaac also seen to be a most miserable beggar? |
48193 | Is not our state then, I ask, marvelous and miserable? |
48193 | Is not rather the contrary the truth? |
48193 | Is not that rather the true Church where there is sound and holy doctrine, healing to afflicted consciences? |
48193 | Is not this our leprosy then grievous and destructive? |
48193 | Is not this then a miserable ignorance and a horrible blindness? |
48193 | Is not this, I pray you, a poor and miserable pretension to wisdom? |
48193 | Is this not an awful change in nature? |
48193 | It argues, if the Word ever existed, why did not God create the heavens and the earth before by that Word? |
48193 | Lyra disputes the point thus:"Are we to consider that the extracted rib was a superfluous one in the body of Adam? |
48193 | Men may therefore naturally inquire, Where is the curse of the wicked? |
48193 | Must not that have been then a most awful corruption, which transformed a friend of God into the most bitter and determined enemy of God? |
48193 | Nay, in how many and various ways does this infirmity of the flesh discover itself, even in married persons? |
48193 | Nay, since the earth is a good creature of God and these things were done against her will, and her struggle to prevent them? |
48193 | Nay, what do we ourselves know concerning ourselves? |
48193 | No longer than until the sound of that voice of God reached his ears,"Where is Abel, thy brother?" |
48193 | Now if Satan was"a murderer from the beginning"tell me, whom or what persons did he murder? |
48193 | Now is not this actually accusing her Creator and removing the fault from herself? |
48193 | Now when the fact of this atrocious murder was made known to the parents, what do we think must have been the dreadful feelings which it excited? |
48193 | Now, what_ ex_cuses more plausible than these could the wicked servant adopt? |
48193 | Now, who does not see that all these representations are nothing more nor less than idle and futile human inventions? |
48193 | On the contrary, though being the accused, he himself accuses God by replying,"Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
48193 | On this passage also that great question is raised, why God, who is one, here speaks in the plural number? |
48193 | On what grounds therefore can we esteem the writings of the fathers equal to the writings of the apostles? |
48193 | Or what can be your thoughts of things God did before time was? |
48193 | Out of one accepted of God and grateful to God, cast off and condemned of God? |
48193 | Shall it flee unto the devil? |
48193 | Shall the Greeks, or the Latins or the Teutons? |
48193 | Shall we not say then that he has lost all things, who out of an immortal is become a mortal, and out of a righteous man, a sinner? |
48193 | Some inquire therefore why it is that God here deals so harshly with miserable Adam? |
48193 | Tell us therefore where thy brother is? |
48193 | That of which we treat are the Scriptures; the Scriptures, I say, of the Holy Spirit, and for these things, as St. Paul says, who is sufficient? |
48193 | The Papists were not ashamed to say, What are the Scriptures? |
48193 | The Rabbins however expound the passage as being a negative interrogation, making Cain to say,"Is my iniquity greater than can be remitted?" |
48193 | The leaving it to rest on the interrogative particle, why? |
48193 | The question arises, what nations, what culture should characterize the libraries of the world? |
48193 | The question to which I allude is,"What was original righteousness?" |
48193 | The words of Job are familiarly known:"Let the day perish wherein I was born; why died I not from the womb?" |
48193 | The words,"Where art thou?" |
48193 | Then why do we vainly and absurdly boast of free- will? |
48193 | There is a well- known poetic line--_ Num tu bona cuncta__ Ut redimas vitam recuses?_ To save thy life, what wouldst thou not resign? |
48193 | There is a well- known poetic line--_ Num tu bona cuncta__ Ut redimas vitam recuses?_ To save thy life, what wouldst thou not resign? |
48193 | There was a common proverb of old,"What is it to the Romans that the Greeks die?" |
48193 | Therefore the words stand here,"Yea, hath God said?" |
48193 | Thus were not our first parents miserably deceived in their hopes concerning their first- born, Cain, the murderer? |
48193 | To how many and how great distresses, especially of diseases, is the body itself subject? |
48193 | Upon this, Cain, growing indignant, makes answer to his parents, by no means with due reverence,"I know not: Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
48193 | Was it not in paradise? |
48193 | Was it not, I pray you, the very extreme of folly, first to attempt impossibilities in trying to flee from God, whom no one can escape or avoid? |
48193 | Was not this a marvelous proof of intellect, thus at the first sight to know and comprehend the work of God? |
48193 | Was not this then, I pray you, a horrible state of things? |
48193 | We will omit also another question,"What was God doing before the beginning of the world;"was he in a state of entire inaction or not? |
48193 | Were they not Adam and Eve, whom he murdered by sin? |
48193 | What a host of dangers threaten us continually from the greater ferocious and venomous beasts? |
48193 | What description of God will you find more appropriate than Plato''s? |
48193 | What doctrine more unworthy a divine to utter? |
48193 | What is thinner or more subtile than air? |
48193 | What orator could describe with eloquence equal to its importance the real nature of that act of Cain, which Moses expresses in these few words? |
48193 | What perils by land and by sea does the merchant experience with the hope of gain? |
48193 | What shall I do, therefore? |
48193 | What sighs and groans it caused? |
48193 | What the lamentation? |
48193 | What then can we know of things divine? |
48193 | What then can we possibly conceive to have been the exceeding folly and state of mind in Adam? |
48193 | What then did the serpent do? |
48193 | What then is the cause of this wonderful and admirable generation or propagation? |
48193 | What then is the conclusion of the whole matter? |
48193 | What therefore in the end was proved to be the judgment of God? |
