thought

For there is no inclination or thought which the Lord knoweth not, for He created every man after His own image.

For fearing lest he should offend the Lord, he will not do wrong to any man, even in thought.

For good men, even they that are of single face, though they be thought by them that are double-faced to sin, are just before God.

And not even in thought did I incline unto her.

For in every way the man is lifted up, whether in deed, or in word, or in thought.

O my boy! I thought that thou wouldst have been my heir at my death; and thou through thy envy and thy insolence didst desire to kill me. But the Lord delivered me from thy cunning.

On a former occasion too, I sent you a record of the facts which I thought worth relating about the Jewish race,--the record which I had obtained from the most learned high priests of the most learned land of Egypt.

For the king spent no little thought upon them, for he loved to gain glory for the excellence of his designs.

I HAVE given you this description of the presents because I thought it was necessary.

I am convinced that any one who takes part in the spectacle which I have described will he filled with astonishment and indescribable wonder and be profoundly affected in his mind at the thought of the sanctity which is attached to each detail of the service.

For our laws have not been drawn up at random or in accordance with the first casual thought that occurred to the mind, but with a view to truth and the indication of right reason.

And he replied, 'If a man maintains a just bearing towards all, he will always act rightly on every occasion, remembering that every thought is known to God. If you take the fear of God as your starting-point, you will never miss the goal.'

And he said, 'If you have a firm grasp of the thought that all men are appointed by God to share the greatest evil as well as the greatest good, since it is impossible for one who is a man to be exempt from these. But God to whom we ought always to pray, inspires us with courage to endure.'

When the king thought that a fitting opportunity had arrived to put inquiries to his guests, he proceeded to ask further questions of the men who sat next in order to those who had given answers on the previous day.

And he replied, 'If he constantly set justice before him in everything and thought that injustice was equivalent to deprivation of life. For God always promises the highest blessings to the just!'

'By keeping before your mind,' he replied, 'the thought that it is good to live and die in one's own country. Residence abroad [*1] brings contempt upon the poor and shame upon the rich as though they had been banished for a crime. If you bestow benefits upon all, as you continually do, God will give you favour with all and you will be accounted patriotic."

For though the questioner had given great thought to each particular question, those who replied one after the other had their answers to the questions ready at once and so they seemed to me and to all who were present and especially to the philosophers to be worthy of admiration.

And he said to Demetrius, 'How is it that none of the historians or 'the poets have ever thought it worth their while to allude to such a wonderful achievement?'

And Eleazar, as if their counsel did but add to his tortures, cried loudly: 'No. May we sons of Abraham never have so evil a thought as with faint heart to counterfeit a part unseemly to us.

But as many as with their whole heart make righteousness their first thought, these alone are able to master the weakness of the flesh, believing that unto God they die not, as our patriarchs, Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, died not, but that they live unto God.

The word of the Lord and His good pleasures, the holy thought which He has devised concerning his Messiah.

For in the will of the Lord is your salvation, and His thought is everlasting life; and your end is immortality. q Be enriched in God the Father, and receive the thought of the Most High.

For in the will of the Lord is your salvation, and His thought is everlasting life; and your end is immortality. q Be enriched in God the Father, and receive the thought of the Most High.

And the Most High hath given it to His words, which are the interpreters of His own beauty, and the repeaters of His praise, and the confessors of His counsel, and the heralds of His thought, and the chasteners of His servants.

For as its work is, so is its end: for it is light and the dawning of thought;

The thought of knowledge hath been mine, and I have been delighted through Him.

For the word of the Lord searches out all things, both the invisible and that which reveals His thought;

For the eye sees His works, and the ear hears His thought;

And the worlds were made by His word, and by the thought of His heart. Glory and honour to His name. Hallelujah.

And the thought of truth led me on. And I walked after it and did not wander:

I am a priest of the Lord, and to Him I do priestly service: and to Him I offer the sacrifice of His thought.

For His thought is not like the thought of the world nor the thought of the flesh, nor like them that serve carnally.

For His thought is not like the thought of the world nor the thought of the flesh, nor like them that serve carnally.

For His thought is not like the thought of the world nor the thought of the flesh, nor like them that serve carnally.

And increasingly helpful to me was the thought of the Lord, and His fellowship in incorruption:

And His thought was like a letter; His will descended from on high, and it was sent like an arrow which is violently shot from the bow:

And He inherited and took possession of everything. And the thought of many was brought to nought.

And they sealed up the abysses with the seal of the Lord. And they perished, in the thought, those that had existed from ancient times;

For their thought is corrupt and their understanding perverted.

For the thought of the Most High cannot be anticipated; and His heart is superior to all wisdom. Hallelujah.

Nor is there any storm in the depth of the illuminated thought:

By the beautiful planting of His right hand: and by the discovery of His planting, and by the thought of His mind. Hallelujah.

For His bounty begat me, and the thought of His heart:
