For you would have transferred us from 02Agat1    7:11 | earthly condition to immortality, as you transferred Enoch to the ranks 02Agat1    7:12 | And you would have brought in your 02Agat1    7:12 | in your universal kingdom, which you had prepared previously for our 02Agat1    7:13 | into the heart of man, you have prepared for those who 02Agat1    7:13 | for those who earlier loved you’ [I Cor. 2.9], which you will give, Lord 02Agat1    7:13 | who earlier loved you’ [I Cor. 2.9], which you will give, Lord, to those 02Agat1    7:14 | of the honor given by you in that you said 02Agat1    7:14 | given by you in that you said 02Agat1    7:16 | from life and repose [cf. Wis. 2.24], which you in your mercy had granted 02Agat1    7:17 | humanity, in your perpetual mercy you did not abandon us because 02Agat1    7:18 | In your long-suffering indulgence you sent the holy prophets, your 02Agat1    7:21 | for the sake of preaching you to their tormentors. But their 02Agat1    7:22 | have placed my hope in you 02Agat1    7:23 | At the end of time you have revealed the mystery of 02Agat1    7:23 | of your will, of which you previously informed the first races 02Agat1    7:23 | Son, who was sent by you to come and be born 02Agat1    7:26 | You sent your only-begotten Son 02Agat1    7:36 | For you, Lord, previously said through the 02Agat1    7:36 | these sufferings: ’I shall make you mute and shall bind your 02Agat1    7:37 | And you will become like a man 02Agat1    7:41 | to the speechless idols, therefore you summoned the world to the 02Agat1    7:42 | And you increased their joy by the 02Agat1    7:42 | crucifixion of your Son. And you satisfied the whole world from 02Agat1    7:43 | marriage of the altar, these you have prepared for eternal torments 02Agat1    7:43 | irrevocable judgments; and their cities you have established in the midst 02Agat1    7:48 | them as is commanded by you [cf. Eph. 6.5; Col. 3.22; I Pet. 2.18], yet not exchange you for 02Agat1    7:48 | by you [cf. Eph. 6.5; Col. 3.22; I Pet. 2.18], yet not exchange you for fear of mortal men 02Agat1    7:49 | the thief who shared with you the sufferings of your cross 02Agat1    7:50 | ’For you make your sun to rise 02Agat1    7:50 | evil and the good, and you bring rain on the just 02Agat1    7:50 | just and on sinners’ [Matt. 5.45]. For you restrain your anger and demonstrate 02Agat1    7:51 | this faith of light which you gave me, to know you 02Agat1    7:51 | you gave me, to know you and do your will 02Agat1    7:52 | May those who hoped in you not be ashamed [cf.

II Cor. 3.18], when you will send again to us 02Agat1    7:61 | For you only will exist and remain 02Agat1    7:62 | But you alone are eternal, and you 02Agat1    7:62 | you alone are eternal, and you gather mankind like grain in 02Agat1    7:63 | You make grow from the earth 02Agat1    7:63 | from the earth men’s bones, you make them blossom and give 02Agat1    7:64 | daytime and yours the evening; you have set luminaries for use 02Agat1    7:65 | You created the two luminaries for 02Agat1    7:68 | You make recompense of joy with 02Agat1    7:72 | Similarly, that which decays indicates you the eternal, the transitory you 02Agat1    7:72 | you the eternal, the transitory you the permanent, that worn old 02Agat1    7:72 | the permanent, that worn old you its renewer; by your will 02Agat1    7:73 | the future be abolished, which you established and prepared for the 02Agat1    7:73 | fulfillment of your promises, when you will exact retribution on everyone 02Agat1    7:73 | for yours is, and to you is fitting, glory for ever 02Agat1    7:74 | crown those who hope in you and fulfill the will of 02Agat1    7:74 | will of those who fear you, make me worthy, Lord, to 02Agat1    7:74 | to keep my hope [cf. II Tim. 4.7] in you and the great fear which 02Agat1    7:74 | and the great fear which you will bring on the impious 02Agat1    7:74 | on the impious who oppose you. And give me, Lord, endurance 02Agat1    7:76 | the crown with those whom you have made worthy to die 02Agat1    7:76 | whose deaths are glorious before you 02Agat1    7:79 | You who laid down your life 02Agat1    7:79 | them to the true path. You alone are able to forgive 02Agat1    7:79 | creatures, that they may worship you alone and do your will 02Agat1    7:80 | shame or confusion [cf. Ps. 70.13], so that you may reckon their acts of 02Agat1    7:81 | For you are accustomed to create from 02Agat1    7:81 | into being creatures from nothing [cf. II Macc. 7.28; Rom. 4.17], you who did not abandon the 02Agat1    7:83 | alone is glory and to you is worship from all creatures 02Agat1    7:83 | from all creatures fitting, as you alone are worthy of glory 02Agat1    7:84 | Armenia, that they may know you and your only-begotten Son 02Agat1    7:84 | Christ, who was sent by you to us 02Agat1    7:85 | theirs bring men close to you 02Agat1    7:87 | holy Spirit who proceeds from you 02Agat1    7:88 | so that they may know you and the benefits of your 02Agat1    7:89 | You who are bountiful to all 02Agat1    7:90 | For you came and died on behalf 02Agat1    7:92 | the blessings that come from you, unless we give up our 02Agat1    7:93 | those who were pleasing before you and we may offer ourselves 02Agat1    7:95 | lamb [cf. Jn. 1.36] and offered himself to you as a sacrifice for the 02Agat1    7:95 | a reconciler and intercessor between you the creator and the creatures 02Agat1    7:99 | your cheek to those striking you [cf. Lam. 3.30; Lk. 6.29] and drank bitter vinegar and 02Agat1    7:99 | been filled with piety towards you 02Agat1    7:101 | You came for the sake of 02Agat1    7:101 | slaughtered like a lamb [cf.

Let none of you torment us to turn us 08Ghev1    9:7 | If you do as I beseech you 08Ghev1    9:7 | you do as I beseech you, the Lord will advance your 08Ghev1    9:8 | But if you will not heed my words 08Ghev1    9:8 | will stir up impediments to you on all sides and will 08Ghev1    9:8 | your rule to last. If you do not ignore my requests 08Ghev1    9:8 | my blessings will come upon you 08Ghev1    9:11 | shepherd concerned about his flock, you hastened to come before my 08Ghev1    9:12 | I will implement all that you requested from me, to have 08Ghev1    10:10 | for help and crying out: “ You who are the refuge for 08Ghev1    10:11 | Now, just as You sent an angel to save 08Ghev1    10:13 | of silver, we will free you alive. As a result, they 08Ghev1    11:2 | with this import: “Why do you alone so stubbornly refuse to 08Ghev1    11:2 | of us? In whom do you take refuge through your act 08Ghev1    11:2 | not submitting to us? Do you regard us as your maidens 08Ghev1    11:2 | as your maidens amongst whom you strut with studied elegance 08Ghev1    11:3 | Now if you do not enter under the 08Ghev1    11:5 | sort: “Could it be that you are mightier than any of 08Ghev1    11:6 | Understand that you are merely more impudent than 08Ghev1    11:6 | of lust. Because of it, you expressed your wicked desires about 08Ghev1    11:6 | virgins, and this has forced you to risk your life and 08Ghev1    11:6 | soldiers who have come with you. Could it be that there 08Ghev1    11:7 | Now understand you, that our land has not 08Ghev1    11:7 | to effect this. However, if you merely want a gift from 08Ghev1    11:7 | I will give it to you.

Then you can get up and go 08Ghev1    11:8 | girls and I will leave you in peace, otherwise I will 08Ghev1    11:8 | otherwise I will come against you in battle.” So the king 08Ghev1    11:8 | to Muhammad, saying: “Stay where you are in your army until 08Ghev1    11:10 | and take the [30,000] girls which you requested from me and which 08Ghev1    13:6 | So I pray you, tell me truly, why was 08Ghev1    13:6 | same? Why is it that you have not been willing to 08Ghev1    13:7 | a reason for suspecting that you had doubts, and regarded as 08Ghev1    13:7 | Jesus bears to Himself, since you give credence only to what 08Ghev1    13:7 | falsified by people unknown to you. How, indeed, are you able 08Ghev1    13:7 | to you. How, indeed, are you able to justify these same 08Ghev1    13:8 | You declare that the Code was 08Ghev1    13:8 | out of their own heads. You admit that it was handed 08Ghev1    13:12 | of a woman? Why do you adore the bones of Apostles 08Ghev1    13:13 | a camel, so why do you not believe in that 08Ghev1    14:1 | make (to all the arguments) you advance against us? It is 08Ghev1    14:3 | You have said in your letter 08Ghev1    14:3 | that “we have discussed with you more than once the divine 08Ghev1    14:3 | our Christian religion, but that you have not succeeded in being 08Ghev1    14:3 | to study its doctrines, which you refer to as imaginary 08Ghev1    14:4 | to discuss our doctrines with you, since our Lord and Master 08Ghev1    14:5 | that we have written to you several times and shall write 08Ghev1    14:5 | times and shall write to you again if need be, but 08Ghev1    14:6 | With regard to you, however, we are not learning 08Ghev1    14:6 | unnecessary for us to involve you ( in the subject of your 08Ghev1    14:7 | However, so that you may not think we are 08Ghev1    14:7 | ours, hearken, if it please you, and in hearkening to me 08Ghev1    14:7 | and in hearkening to me, you will, as Isaiah says, eat 08Ghev1    14:8 | truly difficult, let me tell you, to refute even the most 08Ghev1    14:8 | Let me explain it to you this way. Suppose two men 08Ghev1    14:9 | You have, for example, said that 08Ghev1    14:9 | in the Gospel that “naked you came into this world and 08Ghev1    14:9 | came into this world and you shall quit it naked”, whereas 08Ghev1    14:10 | It is this way that you are used to elude and 08Ghev1    14:10 | evidence of Holy Scriptures which you have not read and you 08Ghev1    14:10 | you have not read and you still do not. You are 08Ghev1    14:10 | and you still do not. You are but merchants of the 08Ghev1    14:11 | Haughty as you are in your despotism, nevertheless 08Ghev1    14:11 | nevertheless listen to my replies. You say that we have found 08Ghev1    14:12 | First of all you write that we have contended 08Ghev1    14:13 | It would be expedient for you, following your own words, to 08Ghev1    14:16 | I shall also show you all this by the grace 08Ghev1    14:17 | Secondly, you have written that “Jesus indeed 08Ghev1    14:21 | As to what you affirm about the falsification of 08Ghev1    14:21 | your religion who has taught you this, he has forgotten himself 08Ghev1    14:26 | the Old and New Testaments. You despise then so many holy 08Ghev1    14:26 | the holy servants of God. You declare Muhammad more worthy of 08Ghev1    14:27 | Now I ask you in brief, tell me please 08Ghev1    14:27 | servants of God, and compels you to regard them as such 08Ghev1    14:28 | You have asked: “How can you 08Ghev1    14:28 | You have asked: “How can you depend on the book of 08Ghev1    14:28 | passages on your choice, since you also believe that this book 08Ghev1    14:29 | the manner in which, unashamedly, you expose ideas in writing which 08Ghev1    14:29 | ideas in writing which render you ridiculous, while you pretend to 08Ghev1    14:29 | which render you ridiculous, while you pretend to seduce us by 08Ghev1    14:29 | by our own words. Thus you start your letter by citing 08Ghev1    14:29 | that follows, stating: “That which you say 08Ghev1    14:30 | But if you believe in our opinions you 08Ghev1    14:30 | you believe in our opinions you must believe in them all 08Ghev1    14:30 | the other half. However, as you are not informed, listen and 08Ghev1    14:38 | I suppose, too, that you are not ignorant of the 08Ghev1    14:40 | period, as the Gospels affirm. You yourself confirm that the Lord 08Ghev1    14:44 | taking the Testament with them, you should hear what the Holy 08Ghev1    14:45 | You have stated that “the Testament 08Ghev1    14:45 | human genius.” I know that you attack the second edition that 08Ghev1    14:46 | You further said that “in their 08Ghev1    14:47 | But do you not regard your Muhammad as 08Ghev1    14:47 | the simple word of Muhammad you disdain the testimonies of so 08Ghev1    14:47 | so many saints of God. You further say: “Satan finds himself 08Ghev1    14:49 | in the Law of Moses”, you show your unwillingness to comprehend 08Ghev1    14:50 | through a single prophet, as you assume in supposing that God 08Ghev1    14:52 | every-thing get falsified, as you pretend, why then speak through 08Ghev1    14:56 | recognized by us Christians, disturbs you, such that you seek to 08Ghev1    14:56 | Christians, disturbs you, such that you seek to find accomplices for 08Ghev1    14:56 | find accomplices for your lie. You would rather have us declare 08Ghev1    14:56 | down from the heavens, as you do for your Furqan, although 08Ghev1    14:56 | who composed that, even though you have deceitfully publicized that God 08Ghev1    14:57 | this was so, how dare you accuse us of pretending that 08Ghev1    14:61 | my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to 08Ghev1    14:61 | that I have said to you.” [John 14:26]. He also adds: “Whom the 08Ghev1    14:61 | to men in general, and you know well that His disciples 08Ghev1    14:65 | You have further stated that, after 08Ghev1    14:65 | yourself by this lie which you pretend is based on our 08Ghev1    14:68 | of hatred and enmity against you), that they call you both 08Ghev1    14:68 | against you), that they call you both infidels and enemies, considering 08Ghev1    14:68 | Such acts take place among you. As for yourself, have you 08Ghev1    14:68 | you. As for yourself, have you not thought that by exterminating 08Ghev1    14:68 | a little from your opinions, you are committing a crime against 08Ghev1    14:69 | such acts take place among you, who form one single people 08Ghev1    14:71 | such as one sees among you. It would appear that, among 08Ghev1    14:71 | that, among the seventy-two, you have included all the voluptuous 08Ghev1    14:71 | pagans, and among whose number you count us. But these are 08Ghev1    14:75 | Following to what you say, one or two of 08Ghev1    14:75 | of other people, dwelling, as you well know, far from us 08Ghev1    14:75 | their language and their habits. You yourself, on the contrary, have 08Ghev1    14:75 | a certain Hajjaj, named by you as Governor of Persia, who 08Ghev1    14:77 | You are well aware, since you 08Ghev1    14:77 | You are well aware, since you mention the fact that there 08Ghev1    14:77 | from making things up, lest you nullify the little truth there 08Ghev1    14:77 | truth there is in what you say 08Ghev1    14:78 | I am greatly astonished as you show such disdain with regard 08Ghev1    14:78 | to support your inconsistent opinions, you make citations from them (the 08Ghev1    14:78 | from them (the Scriptures) which you twist and modify at will 08Ghev1    14:78 | at will. Whenever, for example, you come across the word ’Father’ 08Ghev1    14:78 | come across the word ’Father’, you replace it with ’Lord’, or 08Ghev1    14:79 | If you are carrying on research in 08Ghev1    14:79 | in the interests of truth, you ought to respect the Scriptures 08Ghev1    14:79 | before citing them. Or, if you disdain them as corrupt, you 08Ghev1    14:79 | you disdain them as corrupt, you ought not to use them 08Ghev1    14:79 | them for citation. Finally, if you do cite them for purposes 08Ghev1    14:79 | them for purposes of reference, you are obliged to quote them 08Ghev1    14:79 | modifying them in the way you do 08Ghev1    14:80 | His command to communicate with you. When other pagans hear the 08Ghev1    14:80 | laugh rather strongly but, though you do not despise their names 08Ghev1    14:80 | do not despise their names you turn their words into ridicule 08Ghev1    14:80 | their words into ridicule, especially you ridicule the speaker himself 08Ghev1    14:81 | the books of Moses which you have not read, neither you 08Ghev1    14:81 | you have not read, neither you nor your legislator 08Ghev1    14:82 | Do you believe that it is to 08Ghev1    14:82 | permit ourselves to think, as you so often do, that such 08Ghev1    14:82 | yet we are accused by you of confessing three gods 08Ghev1    14:83 | Listen to this, I beg you, and then answer to it 08Ghev1    14:84 | Are you not convinced of this? So 08Ghev1    14:85 | example in order to convince you, because you pay no attention 08Ghev1    14:85 | order to convince you, because you pay no attention to what 08Ghev1    14:85 | Holy Scriptures; as it is, you give highest consideration to your 08Ghev1    14:85 | compared with (divine orders). Consequently, you take from them what pleases 08Ghev1    14:85 | take from them what pleases you and change or delete what 08Ghev1    14:89 | before God than man, as you yourself confess (in mentioning) that 08Ghev1    14:89 | in rendering him such homage) you have well evidenced your pride 08Ghev1    14:89 | man ought to occupy, as you have said 08Ghev1    14:90 | image of God, but do you believe that it was his 08Ghev1    14:96 | Do you recall what we mentioned above 08Ghev1    14:96 | among your brethren, to whom you will hearken always to whatsoever 08Ghev1    14:96 | to whatsoever he speaks unto you 08Ghev1    14:98 | Now I shall cite for you a series of passages from 08Ghev1    14:98 | to His humiliation, believing that you will welcome such with pleasure 08Ghev1    14:98 | I shall succeed in elevating you, God willing, as by a 08Ghev1    14:100 | The Lord said to me, ’you are my son, today I 08Ghev1    14:100 | son, today I have begotten you’.” [Psalm 2:7]. To indicate the complete conversion 08Ghev1    14:101 | the day of your power you were (endowed with princely gifts 08Ghev1    14:101 | your saints I have begotten you from the womb before the 08Ghev1    14:108 | Him as a man, yet you see well how, in precise 08Ghev1    14:109 | If you want to know what it 08Ghev1    14:109 | must believe in Him, as you see for yourself. The chiefs 08Ghev1    14:110 | If you ask why His (Christ’s) kingdom 08Ghev1    14:110 | that of Christ is celestial. You will see that the kingdom 08Ghev1    14:110 | Christ really is such if you pay attention to the words 08Ghev1    14:111 | as we have often told you 08Ghev1    14:115 | Messiah) through Micah, saying: “But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are 08Ghev1    14:115 | the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me 08Ghev1    14:122 | kingdom higher in the heavens. You must pay attention to what 08Ghev1    14:123 | the hearers. Nevertheless, hearken, if you will, to some citations regarding 08Ghev1    14:124 | If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but 08Ghev1    14:125 | Gospels have told us, which you may read as carefully as 08Ghev1    14:125 | may read as carefully as you wish and will find it 08Ghev1    14:125 | we have presented it to you 08Ghev1    14:131 | Dare you then relying on the bare 08Ghev1    14:131 | by the Prophets, His servants? You must at least conform to 08Ghev1    14:131 | more important regulations. How dare you utter so evident a blasphemy 08Ghev1    14:132 | Is it that you have forgotten, though may be 08Ghev1    14:132 | have forgotten, though may be you are hardly aware of it 08Ghev1    14:132 | and thirty-two generations? If you had a countenance that was 08Ghev1    14:132 | and not of stone, truly you would have blushed at such 08Ghev1    14:134 | the Psalms and the Gospels, you pretend that the Hebrews and 08Ghev1    14:134 | we have altered them, though you recognize that these books are 08Ghev1    14:134 | where are yours in which you place credence? Show us other 08Ghev1    14:135 | At the very least, you will have to admit that 08Ghev1    14:135 | have to admit that even you have never seen them, and 08Ghev1    14:135 | not to believe them. But you, who takes pleasure in looking 08Ghev1    14:135 | them and altering them, do you still pretend that we have 08Ghev1    14:135 | I shall be convinced that you are speaking the truth 08Ghev1    14:136 | is only one single faith, you say. There is indeed but 08Ghev1    14:136 | given men by God. Then you reproach us for not turning 08Ghev1    14:137 | It is you who wants to venerate the 08Ghev1    14:137 | pagan altar of sacrifice that you call the House of Abraham 08Ghev1    14:137 | the sacrament of the Communion you will have my response in 08Ghev1    14:138 | the Gospels and see if you are dealing with them properly 08Ghev1    14:139 | nothing of all that which you attribute to Him. Rather, He 08Ghev1    14:140 | me does his work.” [John 5:19; 14:10]. If you believe in the words “I 08Ghev1    14:140 | do nothing on my own”, you must also believe in the 08Ghev1    14:141 | Similarly, if you believe in the fear which 08Ghev1    14:141 | the sweat of your face you shall eat bread” [Genesis 3:19]. If you 08Ghev1    14:141 | you shall eat bread” [Genesis 3:19]. If you believe in the assistance given 08Ghev1    14:141 | mere man; if, I repeat, you believe all this, you must 08Ghev1    14:141 | repeat, you believe all this, you must also believe in what 08Ghev1    14:142 | Never did He say as you pretend “God sent me into 08Ghev1    14:142 | to the Father.” [John 16:28]. As for you, in the passages just quoted 08Ghev1    14:142 | the passages just quoted, whenever you come across the word “Father 08Ghev1    14:142 | come across the word “Father” you change it, replacing it either 08Ghev1    14:142 | the word “God”, thinking that you can justify your position by 08Ghev1    14:143 | Among these unjust modifications that you make, however, there is one 08Ghev1    14:143 | there is one passage which you quote with fidelity, though you 08Ghev1    14:143 | you quote with fidelity, though you put no faith in it 08Ghev1    14:144 | one.” [John 10:30]. In His prayer, as you yourself report, (Jesus) note: “That 08Ghev1    14:148 | But why have you not read what follows, when 08Ghev1    14:148 | is only the truth that you evade, adhering to nothing else 08Ghev1    14:148 | to Adam who, according to you, was created immediately by God 08Ghev1    14:149 | life-giving death, of which you have heard, you insist on 08Ghev1    14:149 | of which you have heard, you insist on saying that no 08Ghev1    14:149 | to death. But (I ask you), if (Jesus) were a mere 08Ghev1    14:149 | attention and think about this. You easily accept all the humiliating 08Ghev1    14:149 | life) of our Lord, but you despise and reject all the 08Ghev1    14:153 | me, even so I send you.” [John 20:21; Matt. 28:18 [Arm. text]]. Thus all the passages of 08Ghev1    14:154 | to circumcision and the sacrifice, you pretend that we have changed 08Ghev1    14:157 | Lord). The Holy Scriptures, which you certainly never read, give Jesus 08Ghev1    14:157 | the dead. Had I recognized you as one who seeks justice 08Ghev1    14:158 | Regarding circumcision, you pretend that we have replaced 08Ghev1    14:158 | and glorious, remains unknown to you 08Ghev1    14:159 | You are also ignorant of a 08Ghev1    14:159 | chosen (to serve this institution), you cannot know it, as observed 08Ghev1    14:161 | You ought to be ashamed of 08Ghev1    14:161 | the bonds of the law, you take revenge for circumcision by 08Ghev1    14:161 | day after birth, whereas among you, not only the males but 08Ghev1    14:162 | will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be clean 08Ghev1    14:162 | clean water upon you, and you shall be clean from all 08Ghev1    14:162 | your idols I will cleanse you 08Ghev1    14:163 | prediction that “I have given you as a light to the 08Ghev1    14:164 | Sunday for the Sabbath, as you always pretend unwisely. Among yourselves 08Ghev1    14:167 | Yet for what reason do you attach so much importance to 08Ghev1    14:167 | the Lord? It was for you and such as resemble you 08Ghev1    14:167 | you and such as resemble you that God said through His 08Ghev1    14:167 | said through His Prophet: “Look, you outrageous people, and you will 08Ghev1    14:167 | Look, you outrageous people, and you will be outraged and reduced 08Ghev1    14:167 | work in your days that you would not believe if told 08Ghev1    14:168 | forgotten the objection raised by you in these terms: “How is 08Ghev1    14:169 | I suppose that you know there is a multitude 08Ghev1    14:170 | Man, however, considered by you as an impure being, was 08Ghev1    14:173 | All those things which you consider unclean in our human 08Ghev1    14:174 | It is you alone who consider them impure 08Ghev1    14:174 | of God the things that you like, such as, defilement, murder 08Ghev1    14:176 | natural and human infirmities, which you call filthiness, since it befits 08Ghev1    14:176 | living temple I submit to you the following proposition as I 08Ghev1    14:176 | following proposition as I perceive you to be envious of the 08Ghev1    14:179 | As for you, child that you are, occupied 08Ghev1    14:179 | As for you, child that you are, occupied with things that 08Ghev1    14:179 | with things that are visible, you do not think of that 08Ghev1    14:180 | I presume that you are not aware of the 08Ghev1    14:181 | seems to me and to you unclean is just the opposite 08Ghev1    14:182 | saints could one expect from you, when actually you, moved by 08Ghev1    14:182 | expect from you, when actually you, moved by the straying habit 08Ghev1    14:182 | those who resist your claims. You are only putting yourself under 08Ghev1    14:182 | is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering 08Ghev1    14:183 | that of the animal. Yet you are annoyed when we gather 08Ghev1    14:189 | But you do not feel ashamed to 08Ghev1    14:189 | the dwelling of Abraham as you say. As a matter of 08Ghev1    14:190 | wish not to be insulting you by saying that I shall 08Ghev1    14:191 | These unclean spirits appear to you there sometimes in the form 08Ghev1    14:191 | the appearance of making marriages. You, deceived by the illusion, and 08Ghev1    14:192 | You seem not to understand that 08Ghev1    14:193 | able, they would have destroyed you as by fire in a 08Ghev1    14:193 | do no more than lead you to the loss of your 08Ghev1    14:193 | ridiculous superstitions: The stone that you call rukn and which you 08Ghev1    14:193 | you call rukn and which you adore and kiss without knowing 08Ghev1    14:194 | about the abominable authorization given you by your legislator to have 08Ghev1    14:194 | consequence of this, some of you acquired the habit of having 08Ghev1    14:195 | who took Uriah’s wife, as you remind me, it is well 08Ghev1    14:195 | your legislator and all of you continue to resist (the truth 08Ghev1    14:196 | In this you do well, for I know 08Ghev1    14:196 | is, and that is what you really do in never seeking 08Ghev1    14:196 | the cause of adultery, but you act quite otherwise: when you 08Ghev1    14:196 | you act quite otherwise: when you are tired of your wives 08Ghev1    14:196 | of some kind of nourishment, you abandon them at your fancy 08Ghev1    14:197 | about the shamelessness with which you remarry: before retaking your wives 08Ghev1    14:197 | remarry: before retaking your wives you make them sleep in the 08Ghev1    14:197 | of the execrable debauchery which you commit with your concubines? For 08Ghev1    14:197 | commit with your concubines? For you are prodigal with them of 08Ghev1    14:197 | your fortune, and then, when you are tired of them, you 08Ghev1    14:197 | you are tired of them, you sell them like cattle 08Ghev1    14:199 | But you are more venomous than the 08Ghev1    14:199 | the hour of your death you violently put your wives to 08Ghev1    14:200 | the souls of the just, you pretend that we have represented 08Ghev1    14:206 | not want to forget what you had said about the vision 08Ghev1    14:208 | animals are very common among you 08Ghev1    14:209 | conserving the Law, has made you also fail into idolatry. I 08Ghev1    14:211 | exercise of force, in drawing you into his error. It is 08Ghev1    14:211 | thus that he has led you to circumcise yourselves, without admitting 08Ghev1    14:212 | You have the same faith in 08Ghev1    14:212 | abominable debaucheries are familiar to you. You call ’the Way of 08Ghev1    14:212 | debaucheries are familiar to you. You call ’the Way of God’ 08Ghev1    14:212 | your conduct. Behold your glory, you who pretend to live an 08Ghev1    14:215 | For you who are given over to 08Ghev1    14:215 | limit to your lustful pleasures, you who prefer your pleasures to 08Ghev1    14:215 | precisely for that reason that you consider the kingdom of heaven 08Ghev1    14:216 | reply that I addressed to you. For the sake of our 08Ghev1    14:216 | predicted by the Prophet Isaiah: “ You shall be called by a 08Ghev1    14:216 | persecuted me, they will persecute you; if they kept my word 08Ghev1    14:216 | this they will do to you on my account, because they 08Ghev1    14:217 | And again, “In the world you have tribulation.” [John 16:33]. (Jesus Christ) in 08Ghev1    14:217 | not of the world.” [John 17:16]. “If you were of the world, the 08Ghev1    14:217 | love its own; but because you are not of the world 08Ghev1    14:217 | the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore 08Ghev1    14:217 | world, therefore the world hates you 08Ghev1    14:218 | hope, we are tormented by you, under the threat of death 08Ghev1    14:219 | As for you, persisting in your tyranny and 08Ghev1    14:219 | your tyranny and your usurpation, you attribute to your religion the 08Ghev1    14:219 | the favorable (protection) of God. You forget that the Persian also 08Ghev1    20:3 | this stubborness, and why have you not come forth to us 08Ghev1    20:4 | Whom are you relying on to help you 08Ghev1    20:4 | you relying on to help you that you reject us? Could 08Ghev1    20:4 | on to help you that you reject us? Could it be 08Ghev1    20:4 | us? Could it be that you have not heard about the 08Ghev1    20:5 | Or perhaps you have not observed how many 08Ghev1    20:6 | Know this: if you do not become tributary I 08Ghev1    20:6 | of that city whose walls you rely on. And as for 08Ghev1    20:6 | place of your worship which you named (Haghia) Sophia, I will 08Ghev1    20:6 | wood of the cross that you revere I will smash over 08Ghev1    20:12 | the following import: “Why do you take pride in your wickedness 08Ghev1    20:12 | of the infidels? Why do you sharpen your treachery like a 08Ghev1    20:12 | like a razor? Why do you brazenly boast before the Almighty 08Ghev1    20:12 | brazenly boast before the Almighty? You insolently envision our Savior and 08Ghev1    20:13 | hope that His mercy which you insult will repay you for 08Ghev1    20:13 | which you insult will repay you for your wickedness and that 08Ghev1    20:13 | abominable mouth of yours which you opened against the King of 08Ghev1    20:13 | of Christ. (May God punish you) in accordance with the curses 08Ghev1    20:14 | in their impudence, the way you do. It has never entered 08Ghev1    20:14 | blood will be demanded from you for those you slaughtered with 08Ghev1    20:14 | demanded from you for those you slaughtered with your sword and 08Ghev1    20:14 | with your sword and those you led into slavery from my 08Ghev1    20:16 | You are testing the Lord our 08Ghev1    20:16 | God. But He can sink you and all your multitude in 08Ghev1    20:17 | Cross of Christ which today you have insulted 08Ghev1    20:18 | But now, if you turn around and distance yourself 08Ghev1    20:18 | and distance yourself from me you will choose what is good 08Ghev1    20:18 | quickly do whatever is obsessing you. And let the Lord determine 08Ghev1    20:28 | impudence. “Why,” (Leo asked) “did you want to attack our country 08Ghev1    20:29 | Our Lord (represents) life, while you are the son of death 08Ghev1    20:29 | own heads and demanded from you the blood of the innocent 08Ghev1    20:29 | blood of the innocent (which you shed). So I shall not 08Ghev1    20:29 | put forth my hand against you and not judge you as 08Ghev1    20:29 | against you and not judge you as is fitting. For behold 08Ghev1    20:29 | as is fitting. For behold, you are in my hands. I 08Ghev1    20:29 | hands. I am sovereign over you, to kill or spare (you 08Ghev1    20:29 | you, to kill or spare ( you as I choose).

But you will not be killed; rather 08Ghev1    20:29 | the powers of God which you have witnessed 08Ghev1    20:30 | What shall I say before you about these things, for truly 08Ghev1    20:30 | are not few in number. You have displayed great mercy to 08Ghev1    20:30 | no longer wage war against you 08Ghev1    26:3 | danger to our aim. If you prefer, accept my counsel and 08Ghev1    26:4 | Resisting him, they retorted: “If you do not join our alliance 08Ghev1    26:4 | your troops will stay with you. We cannot tolerate the crisis 08Ghev1    34:22 | Armenians), and by means of you vengeance will be exacted from 08Ghev1    34:23 | theirs. For just one of you can conquer a thousand of 08Ghev1    34:23 | of them, while two (of you can conquer) tens of thousands 08Ghev1    34:31 | and damaging counsel. He note: “ You are too young, and I 08Ghev1    34:31 | young, and I know that you cannot resist the power of 08Ghev1    34:33 | You are unfamiliar with all the 08Ghev1    34:34 | our country. On whom will you rely (for help)? Whose power 08Ghev1    34:34 | power, whose strength (will help you) against the invincible (Arab commander’s 08Ghev1    34:35 | If it pleases you, accept my advice. For my 08Ghev1    34:35 | of these) three ways. Either you will return and then submit 08Ghev1    34:35 | will remain in peace. Or you will reject (submission), take to 08Ghev1    34:36 | Or else you will fall into their hands 08Ghev1    34:65 | name, Oh Lord, and glorify You in the dangers surrounding us 08Ghev1    38:1 | as the mustard seeds which you see. Will your country be 08Ghev1    38:1 | hold my countless troops? If you have some strength in your 08Ghev1    38:2 | food, like the mustard seeds you have sent.
