   Quoted directly across four paragraphs.

   Since the Jews," he says, "ask for signs" toward faith, "and the Greeks seek wisdom" — the so-called compelling arguments and the other syllogisms — "but we proclaim Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling-block," because, knowing the prophecy, they do not believe its fulfilment, "and to the Greeks foolishness";

   The line about unity of preaching is explicitly introduced as something the apostle himself says elsewhere.

   For they bring forward also that Peter himself and the rest, pillars of the apostolate, were rebuked by Paul because they did not walk with straight foot toward the truth of the Gospel — by that very Paul, mind you, who, still raw in grace, trembling at last lest he had run or were running in vain, was then for the first time conferring with the apostles who went before him.

   Paul's ruling that a widow is free to remarry "in the Lord" is cited as authority for the canon on widows.

   The woman who in her widowhood has authority over herself is without blame in living with a man, if there is no one to break up the union;

   Closely parsed as the source of Paul's original judgment against the incestuous man.

   For in truth they suspect that the Apostle Paul, in the second to the Corinthians, gave pardon to that same fornicator whom in the first he had pronounced should be handed over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh — the impious heir of his father's marriage-bed — as though he had even afterward turned his pen, writing:

   Paul's first letter to the Corinthians is cited and interpreted repeatedly as the primary scriptural authority governing marriage, widowhood, and remarriage.

   If these things are so, it is established that believers who undergo marriages with the heathen are guilty of fornication and are to be barred from all communion of the brotherhood, by the letters of the apostle, who says that with such a one we must not even take food.

7. De Anima Tertullian 1 authority 1 citation

   de anima

   Quoted directly and attributed to 'the apostle' as authority for the argument.

   ‘Otherwise,’ he says, ‘they would be born unclean’ — wishing the children of the faithful to be understood as designated nevertheless for sanctity, and through this for salvation too, that by the pledge of this hope he might patronize the marriages which he had judged worthy of being retained.

   The passage extensively quotes and reinterprets sayings attributed to Paul in his letter to the Corinthians on marriage and remarriage, developing their implications well beyond a plain reading.

   The same apostle exclaims, All things are lawful, but not all are profitable.

   Paul's letter to the Corinthians is cited multiple times as scriptural evidence for the argument.

   Paul, in his first epistle to the Corinthians, marks the deniers and doubters of the resurrection.

    The Apostle's letter (identifiable as 1 Corinthians 11 and 14 material on veiling and women's silence) is the central text under sustained exegesis throughout

    But if the Apostle adds also the prejudgment of nature—that the redundance of hair is an honour to the woman, because the hair is for a covering—surely this is a special distinction above all for the virgin, of whom even the very adornment is properly such that, heaped up upon the crown, it covers the very citadel of the head with a circuit of tresses.

    The passage directly quotes Paul's letter to the Corinthians as the foundational scriptural statement of the ascetic view that the author goes on to dispute.

    Paul, the Christian writer, holds this view very strongly.
