with the height and summit of the righteousness of God: for God is influenced and moved by none, save only the
righteous.
Dem. 61. . . . Son of God . . . Son of God . . . . for then was He glorified as God, when He rose.
Dem. 62. For by these words he says that He who according to the flesh is of the race of David will be Christ the Son of God;
and that He will die and rise again, and that He is in aspect a man, but in power God. . . .
Dem. 64. . . . Son of God . . .
Dem. 66. . . . Son of God . . .
Dem. 67. . . . Spirit of God . . . . Son of God . . .
Dem. 68. . . . And again by Isaiah His Word says . . . .
Dem. 69. . . . It is manifest therefore that by the will of the Father these things occurred to Him for the sake of our salvation.
Dem. 70. Then he says: His generation who shall declare? This was said to warn us, lest on account of His enemies and the
outrage of His sufferings we should despise Him as a mean and contemptible man. For He who endured all this has an
undeclarable generation; for by generation He means descent; [for] He who is His Father is undeclarable and
unspeakable. Know therefore that such descent was His who endured these sufferings: and despise Him not because of
the sufferings which for thy sake He of purpose endured, but fear Him because of His descent.
Dem. 71. . . . That, being [the] Spirit of God, Christ was to become a suffering man the Scripture declares. . . . For just as a
shadow is made by a body, so also Christ's body was made by His Spirit. . . . the Spirit overshadowed it, as it were, with
glory and covered it.
Dem. 72. . . . Son of God . . .
Dem. 73. . . . Spirit of Christ [may refer to Christ's pre-incarnate spirit]. . .
Dem. 75. . . . The He should endure these things, and that too by the will of the Father, He manifestly declared: for by the
will of the Father He was to endure sufferings.
Dem. 85. And being raised from the dead and exalted at the Fathers' right hand, He awaits the time appointed by the Father
for the judgment, when all enemies shall be put under Him.
Dem. 86. . . . Son of God . . . Son of God . . .
Dem. 89. . . . Son of God . . . . for the Word had not passed through them [the Gentiles], nor given them the Holy Spirit to
drink; who fashioned the new way of godliness and righteousness, and made copious streams to spring forth,
disseminating over the earth the Holy Spirit; even as it had been promised through the prophets, that in the end of the
days He should pour out the Spirit upon he [sic] face of the earth.
Dem. 91. . . . For very plainly this was said of such as have forsaken idols and believed in God our Maker through the Holy
One of Israel.
Dem. 92. . . . Son of God . . .
Dem. 94. So then by the new calling a change of hearts in the Gentiles came to pass through the Word of God. . . .
Dem. 95. . . . Son of God . . . . Son of God; and by faith in Him we learn to love God with all our heart. . . .
Dem. 96. . . . Word of God . . . . And there is none other name of the Lord given under heaven whereby men are saved, save
that of God, which is Jesus Christ the Son of God. . . .
Dem. 97. . . . God, who by His great, inscrutable and unsearchable wisdom delivered us, and proclaimed the salvation from
heaven--to wit, the visible coming of our Lord, that is, His living as man. . . . Now by Jacob and Israel he means the
Son of God, who received power from the Father over our life, and after having received this brought it down to us who
were far off from Him, when He appeared on earth and was conversant with men, mingling and mixing the Spirit of
God the Father with the creature formed by God, that man might be after the image and likeness of God.
Dem. 99. . . . Son of God . . .
Dem. 100. So then in respect of the three points of our seal error has strayed widely from the truth. For either they reject the
Father, or they accept not the Son and speak against the dispensation of His incarnation; or else they receive not the
Spirit, that is, they reject prophecy. And of all such must we beware, and shun their ways, if in very truth we desire to be
well-pleasing to God and to attain the redemption that is from Him.
