Pàgina 147 - For how could the city of God (concerning which we are already writing no less than the nineteenth book of this work) either take a beginning or be developed, or attain its proper destiny, if the life of the saints were not a social life ? But who can enumerate all the great grievances with which human society abounds in the misery of this mortal state ? Who can weigh them ? Hear how one of their comic writers makes one of his characters express the common feelings of all men in this matter : " I...
Pàgina 103 - Resurrection,2 since in Him we rise again, so also the kingdom of God may be understood to be Himself, since in Him we shall reign. But we do well in seeking the kingdom of God, that is, the heavenly kingdom, because there is also an earthly kingdom. But he who has already renounced the world, is moreover...
Pàgina 111 - And when you hear that we look for a kingdom, you suppose, without making any inquiry, that we speak of a human kingdom ; whereas we speak of that which is with God, as appears also from the confession of their faith made by those who are charged with being Christians, though they know that death is the punishment awarded to him who so confesses. For if we looked for a human kingdom, we should also deny our Christ, that we might not be slain...
Pàgina 111 - The law and the prophets were until John; from that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every one useth violence towards it.
Pàgina 101 - But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you : and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Pàgina 105 - For the Lord himself, being asked by a certain person, When his kingdom should come? answered. When two shall be one, and that which is without as that which is within ; and the male with the female, neither male nor female.
Pàgina 105 - But the change of the age and the expulsion of justice is to be deemed nothing else, as I have said, than the laying aside of divine religion, which alone effects that man should esteem man dear, and should know that he is bound to him by the tie of brotherhood, since God is alike a Father to all, so as to share the bounties of the common God and Father with those who do not possess them ; to injure no one, to oppress no one, not to close his door against a stranger, nor his ear against a suppliant,...
Pàgina 106 - He will render to every one a reward according to his works. If therefore we shall do what is just in the sight of God, we shall enter into His kingdom, and shall receive the promises "which neither eye hath seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man.
Pàgina 123 - ... sloth? Have we not had enough of indolence, mirth, procrastination? Will it not be the same over again, feasting, and surfeiting, and expense, and wealth, and acquisitions, and buildings? And what is the end? Death. What is the end? Ashes, and dust, and coffins, and worms. Let us show forth then a new kind of life. Let us make earth, heaven; let us hereby show the Greeks, of how great blessings they are deprived. For when they behold in us good conversation, they will look upon the very face...
