1055 2, 4 | Therefore living and lifeless ~faith are not distinct habits.~
1056 2, 4 | advent of clear ~vision, faith is done away, because it
1057 2, 4 | lifelessness is not ~essential to faith, but is accidental thereto

1118 2, 4 | answer that, If we take faith as a habit, we can consider

1138 2, 4 | not lifeless but living faith is the foundation, as a ~
1139 2, 4 | Fide et Oper. xvi.]. Now ~faith is formed by charity, as
1140 2, 4 | is owing ~to charity that faith is the foundation: so that
1141 2, 4 | foundation yet more than faith is (for the foundation is
1142 2, 4 | consequently it seems to precede faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[4] A[7]

1147 2, 4 | Apostle says (Heb. 11:1) that "faith is the ~substance of things

1149 2, 4 | secondly, by accident. Faith, by its very nature, precedes ~
1150 2, 4 | and in the intellect, by faith, the first of all the virtues ~
1151 2, 4 | must, of necessity, be faith, because natural knowledge
1152 2, 4 | some virtues can precede faith accidentally. For an ~accidental
1153 2, 4 | may be said to precede ~faith accidentally, in so far
1154 2, 4 | inordinate fear that hinders faith; humility ~removes pride,
1155 2, 4 | himself to the truth of ~faith. The same may be said of
1156 2, 4 | no ~real virtues, unless faith be presupposed, as Augustine
1157 2, 4 | OBJ 2: Hope cannot lead to faith absolutely. For one cannot
1158 2, 4 | by hope to persevere in faith, ~or to hold firmly to faith;
1159 2, 4 | faith, ~or to hold firmly to faith; and it is in this sense
1160 2, 4 | hope is said to ~lead to faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[4] A[7]
1161 2, 4 | thus it is requisite for faith. In another ~way, obedience
1162 2, 4 | thus obedience follows faith, whereby man knows that
1163 2, 4 | perfection." Consequently faith without charity cannot be
1164 2, 4 | follow that charity precedes faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[4] A[7]
1165 2, 4 | will is required before faith, but not an ~act of the

1192 2, 5 | 1/1 - OF THOSE WHO HAVE FAITH (FOUR ARTICLES)~We must
1193 2, 5 | consider those who have faith: under which head there
1194 2, 5 | inquiry:~(1) Whether there was faith in the angels, or in man,
1195 2, 5 | Whether the demons have faith?~(3) Whether those heretics
1196 2, 5 | err in one article, have faith in others?~(4) Whether among
1197 2, 5 | Whether among those who have faith, one has it more than another?~
1198 2, 5 | Para. 1/1~Whether there was faith in the angels, or in man,
1199 2, 5 | would seem that there was no faith, either in the angels, or ~
1200 2, 5 | believers seek an absent God by faith, but by seeing Him clearly
1201 2, 5 | Therefore there was no faith in the angels and ~man in
1202 2, 5 | Further, the knowledge of faith is dark and obscure, according
1203 2, 5 | Therefore there could be no faith in ~the angels or in man,
1204 2, 5 | Apostle says (Rm. 10:17) that "faith . . . cometh by ~hearing."
1205 2, 5 | that state, there was no faith either in man or in the
1206 2, 5 | Therefore they had need of faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[5] A[1]
1207 2, 5 | Some say that there was no faith in the angels before ~they
1208 2, 5 | things. Since, however, "faith is the evidence of things
1209 2, 5 | Heb. 11:2), and since "by faith we ~believe what we see
1210 2, 5 | manifestation alone excludes faith, which ~renders apparent
1211 2, 5 | the principal object of faith. Now the principal ~object
1212 2, 5 | the principal ~object of faith is the First Truth, the
1213 2, 5 | heaven and takes the place of faith. Consequently, as the ~angels
1214 2, 5 | was not such as to exclude faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[5] A[1]
1215 2, 5 | then, that the absence of faith in them could only be ~explained
1216 2, 5 | ignorant of the object of faith. And ~if man and the angels
1217 2, 5 | hold that ~there was no faith in the angels before their
1218 2, 5 | because the knowledge of faith surpasses not only a ~man'
1219 2, 5 | and in the intellect by faith, ~as stated above (Q[4],

1227 2, 5 | Whether in the demons there is faith?~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[5] A[2]
1228 2, 5 | that the demons have no faith. For Augustine says ~(De
1229 2, 5 | Praedest. Sanct. v) that "faith depends on the believer'
1230 2, 5 | in the demons there is no faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[5] A[2]
1231 2, 5 | Para. 1/1~OBJ 2: Further, faith is a gift of Divine grace,
1232 2, 5 | grace you are saved through faith . . . for it is the gift
1233 2, 5 | grace by ~sinning. Therefore faith did not remain in the demons
1234 2, 5 | Consequently, if the demons have faith, some men would be guilty
1235 2, 5 | the demons there is no faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[5] A[2]
1236 2, 5 | consequently ~the essence of faith would not be removed.~Aquin.:
1237 2, 5 | Accordingly we must say that faith is commended in the first

1240 2, 5 | the good, even when that faith is ~lifeless. Consequently
1241 2, 5 | lifeless. Consequently the faith which the demons have, is
1242 2, 5 | very fact that the signs of faith are so evident, that ~the
1243 2, 5 | disbelieves one article of faith, can have lifeless ~faith
1244 2, 5 | faith, can have lifeless ~faith in the other articles?~Aquin.:
1245 2, 5 | disbelieves one article of ~faith, can have lifeless faith
1246 2, 5 | faith, can have lifeless faith in the other articles. For
1247 2, 5 | needs the aid of the gift of faith in order to ~believe any
1248 2, 5 | any article whatever of faith. Therefore it seems that
1249 2, 5 | believe any articles of faith without the gift of lifeless
1250 2, 5 | without the gift of lifeless faith.~Aquin.: SMT SS Q[5] A[3]
1251 2, 5 | OBJ 2: Further, just as faith contains many articles,
1252 2, 5 | believe some articles ~of faith without believing the others.~
1253 2, 5 | believing the articles of ~faith, so does he also in keeping
1254 2, 5 | disbelief in one article of faith contrary to faith. Now charity

1268 2, 5 | others. On the other hand faith adheres to all the articles

1271 2, 5 | Thes. Para. 1/1~Whether faith can be greater in one man
1272 2, 5 | OBJ 1: It would seem that faith cannot be greater in one
1273 2, 5 | object. Now ~whoever has faith believes everything that
1274 2, 5 | believes everything that is of faith, since by failing ~in one
1275 2, 5 | one point, a man loses his faith altogether, as stated above (
1276 2, 5 | Therefore it seems that faith cannot be greater in one
1277 2, 5 | be "more" or "less." Now faith consists in something supreme,
1278 2, 5 | above all things. ~Therefore faith cannot be "more" or "less."~
1279 2, 5 | Para. 1/1~OBJ 3: Further, faith is to knowledge by grace,
1280 2, 5 | knowledge, since the articles of faith are the ~first principles
1281 2, 5 | degree by all ~men. Therefore faith is possessed in equal degree
1282 2, 5 | less. Now in the matter of faith we find great and little,
1283 2, 5 | 14:31): "O thou of little faith, why didst thou ~doubt?"

1286 2, 5 | Para. 2/3~Now the object of faith may be considered in two
1287 2, 5 | Now the formal object of faith is one and ~simple, namely
1288 2, 5 | there is no diversity of faith among believers, but it
1289 2, 5 | things than another, so that faith can be greater in one ~man
1290 2, 5 | other hand, we consider faith from the point of view of
1291 2, 5 | ways, since the act of ~faith proceeds both from the intellect
1292 2, 5 | Consequently a man's faith may be described ~as being
