view forget that the first-born of every creature, honouring man above all else, became man, and that it was not any of the constellations existing in the sky, but one of another order, appointed for this purpose and in the service of the knowledge of Jesus, that was made to be the Star of the East, whether it was like the other stars or perchance better than they, to be the sign of Him who is the most excellent of all. And if the boasting of the saints is in their tribulations, since[129]

Rom. 5:4 - NIV, NAB - in Clement of Alexandria Stromata Book II

Rom. 5:8 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Against Celsus Book IV

Rom. 5:12 - NIV, NAB - in Pseudo-Gregory Thaumaturgus Twelve Topics on the Faith

And this He said, not as holding before us any contest proper only to a God, but as showing our own flesh in its capacity to overcome suffering, and death, and corruption, in order that, as sin entered into the world by flesh, and death came to reign by sin over all men, the sin in the flesh might also be condemned through the selfsame flesh in the likeness thereof;[38]

, upon those after that similitude.[269]

Rom. 5:13 - NIV, NAB - in Origen Commentary on John Book II

"Without the law sin was dead," and adds, "But when the commandment came sin revived," and so teaches generally about sin that it has no power before the law and the commandment (but the Logos is, in a sense, law and commandment), and there would be no sin were there no law, for,[41]

Rom. 5:14 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III

Rom. 5:14 - NIV, NAB - in Hippolytus Refutation of All Heresies Book VII

Rom. 5:14 - NIV, NAB - in Pseudo-Gregory Thaumaturgus Second Homily

Whence, also, those born of him were involved in their father's liability in virtue of their succession, and had the reckoning of condemnation required of them. "For death reigned from Adam to Moses."[21]

Rom. 5:14 - NIV, NAB - in Archelaus Acts of the Disputation with the Heresiarch Manes

You say, then, that the law is a ministration of death, and you admit that "death, the prince of this world, reigned from Adam even to Moses; "[258]

but the females to be preserved alive. For the devil, ruling[66]

Rom. 5:17 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III

Rom. 5:19 - NIV, NAB - in Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III

Then must the devil be understood to be stronger for injuring man, ruining him wholly? and must God have the character of comparative weakness, since He does not relieve and help man in his entire state? The apostle, however, suggests that "where sin abounded, there has grace much more abounded."[224]

Rom. 5:20 - NIV, NAB - in Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh

For in this way "grace shall there much more abound, where sin once abounded."[332]
