in the texts
Stromata
The Scriptures, referenced as the textual authority behind much of the argument.
for the Scripture will find one man who understands it.
And the Scripture knows as slaves those who are under sin and sold to sins, the lovers of pleasure and lovers of the body, and as beasts rather than men those who have been made like the cattle, "horses mad for the female, neighing after their neighbours' wives";
And such, for us, are the scriptures of the Lord—bringing forth the truth and remaining virgins, with the hiding of the mysteries of the truth.
Adversus Praxean
The scriptural texts treated as the authoritative source for settling doctrine.
But you will have to prove it as plainly from the Scriptures as we prove that he made his own Word a son to himself.
and so the matter itself will lay claim to its own form, with the Scriptures and their interpretations to plead its case.
The Son therefore both dies and is raised again by the Father, according to the Scriptures.
De Carne Christi
The scriptural texts used by the opposing side and turned against them in argument.
And the discussion of this alone could have sufficed, apart from the engagement with the several opinions from the opposite side, which, over and above, we have challenged both by their arguments and by the Scriptures which they use;
De Carnis Resurrectione
The Scriptures collectively, whose wording and interpretation are the central object of dispute.
Thus far I have wrought with foundation-layings to fortify the senses of all the Scriptures which promise the return of the flesh.
For that this is not the true death which lies in the midst, the parting of flesh and soul, but ignorance of God, through which a man dead to God has lain in error no less than in a sepulchre.
Which things, although we are wont to interpret spiritually too, according to the comparison of the vices of the soul healed by the Lord, yet since they were fulfilled carnally as well, show that the prophets prophesied in both kinds — saving the fact that very many of their voices can be defended as bare and simple and pure of every cloud of allegory:
De Exhortatione Castitatis Liber
The sacred scriptural texts, described as a source of spiritual engagement for the continent believer.
If he leans upon the Scriptures, he is wholly there.
De Praescriptionibus Hereticorum
The Christian Scriptures, whose rightful ownership and interpretation the treatise disputes with heretics.
This heresy does not receive certain Scriptures;
and then, because the engagement of the Scriptures profits nothing, except plainly to upset the stomach or the brain of him who enters upon it.
If these are their strength, that they may be able to have it, it must be examined to whom the possession of the Scriptures belongs, lest he be admitted to them to whom it in no way belongs.
