| 31. | We should not hastily impute as crimes to the men of old time those actions which the Scripture has not condemned, but should rather seek in them types of things to come: an example of this in the incest committed by Lot | 1 | |
| 32. | That one God was the author of both testaments, is confirmed by the authority of a presbyter who had been taught by the apostles, | 4 | |
| 33. | Whosoever confesses that one God is the author of both testaments, and diligently reads the Scriptures in company with the presbyters of the church, is a true spiritual disciple; and he will rightly understand and interpret all that the prophets have declared respecting Christ and the liberty of the new testament, | 6 | |
| 34. | Proof against the Marcionites, that the prophets referred in all their predictions to our Christ, | 18 | |
| 35. | A refutation of those who allege that the prophets uttered some predictions under the inspiration of the Highest, others from the Demiurge. Disagreements of the Valentinians among themselves with regard to these same predictions, | 22 | |
| 36. | The prophets were sent from one and the same Father from whom the Son was sent, | 26 | |
| 37. | Men are possessed of free-wlll, and endowed with the faculty of making a choice. It is not true, therefore, that some are by nature good, and others bad, | 36 | |
| 38. | Why man was not made perfect from the beginning, | 42 | |
