Irenaeus Against Heresies Book III Much more [would this be the case with regard to] the Lord Himself, who did also direct us to "render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's; "[57] Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book II And by those who rise from the water to the bait of righteousness, He admonishes us to take away luxury and avarice, as the coin from the fish; in order that He might displace vainglory; and by giving the stater to the tax-gatherers, and "rendering to Caesar the things which are Caesar's," might preserve "to God the things which are God's."[39] Clement of Alexandria The Instructor Book III And of civil government: "Render to Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things which are God's."[190] Tertullian On Idolatry Idolatry is condemned, not on account of the persons which are set up for worship, but on account of those its observances, which pertain to demons. "The things which are Cµsar's are to be rendered to Cµsar."[116] Tertullian De Corona to devote your energies to mammon, and to depart from God? Will it be "Render unto Cµsar the things which are Cµsar's, and unto God the things which are God's,"[46] Tertullian On the Resurrection of the Flesh And as a matter of course, he is already a king-although he even now owes to Cµsar the things which are Cµsar's.[146] Tertullian Scorpiace that is, the things which are Cµsar's to Cµsar, and the things which are God's to God;[108] Tertullian De Fuga in Persecutione Since, therefore, Caesar has imposed nothing on us after this fashion of a tributary sect-in fact, such an imposition never can be made,-with Antichrist now close at hand, and gaping for the blood, not for the money of Christians-how can it be pointed out to me that there is the command, "Render to Caesar the things which are Caesar's? "[55] Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book II Let not the heathen therefore know of your differences among One another, nor do you receive unbelievers as witnesses against yourselves, nor be judged by them, nor owe them anything on account of tribute or fear; but "render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's,"[212] The Ecclesiastical Canons of the Holy Apostles Let a bishop, or presbyter, or deacon, who goes to the army, and desires to retain both the Roman government and the sacerdotal administration, be deprived. For "the things of Caesar belong to Caesar, and the things of God to God."[56]
