Quoted material corresponds to Second Corinthians and is used as direct scriptural authority.
"I will dwell in them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people," if we conduct ourselves according to the commandments, whether each of us severally or the whole Church together.

Letters Basil of Caesarea 1 extended 2 citations
Used as a grammatical analogy for how three names can be joined by 'and'.
For as he who said "Paul and Silvanus and Timothy" said three names, but bound them together by the conjunction "and," so he who said "the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," saying three, wove them together with the connective, teaching that to each name its own signification is attached, since names are significant of things.

Content matches Pauline second epistle, introduced with Apostle's authority.
And if that man, who reached as far as the third heaven and heard unspeakable words, uttered such words, who of those like me could at all look in the face the abysses of so many mysteries, and say anything to the purpose, or be able to conceive worthily of the things spoken, unless the giver of wisdom himself, the corrector of the unwise, should grant it?

Adversus Marcionem Tertullian 1 neutral 1 extended 2 citations · 3 passages
The third heaven is explicitly tied to 'your apostle', deferring to Paul's own account for later scrutiny.
After these things, or before these, when you have said that he too has his own creation and his own world and his own heaven — concerning that third heaven indeed we shall see, if we come also to the examination of your apostle — meanwhile, whatever substance it is, it ought certainly to have appeared together with its own god.

De Carnis Resurrectione Tertullian 1 extended 1 citation · 2 passages
Both passages are explicitly quoted from Paul's letter to the Corinthians and interpreted at length.
"For we know," he says, "that even if the earthly house of this our tabernacle be dissolved, we have a house not made with hands, eternal, in the heavens" — that is, through this, that our flesh shall be dissolved through sufferings, we are to attain a dwelling in the heavens.

De ieiunio adversus psychicos Tertullian 1 citation
Paul's second epistle to the Corinthians is directly cited as source for his account of frequent fasting.
And I think the Apostle too in the second to the Corinthians, among his labours and perils and discomforts, after hunger and thirst, reckons "many fastings" as well.

De Pudicitia Tertullian 1 extended 1 citation · 2 passages
The letter whose ambiguous forgiveness passage is the crux of the dispute.
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:

Scorpiace Tertullian 1 citation
Paul's catalogue of afflictions to the Corinthians is quoted as direct evidence of apostolic suffering.
But Paul the apostle, of a persecutor — who first shed the blood of the Church — afterwards changing the sword for the pen and turning the falchion into a ploughshare, "a ravening wolf of Benjamin," thereafter himself bringing food, according to Jacob — how does he commend martyrdoms as now even to be desired by himself!

- beside a chapter, the passages anchored there. A single citation can quote more than one passage, which is why a row carries two figures: the citations the harvest recorded, and the passages its chapters add up to.
Every row here is derived from the harvest, not curated: the citation ledger holds the whole of it, and the atlas states the method.
