1008 2, 98 | perfect simply, and yet ~perfect in respect of time: thus

1013 2, 98 | yet ~disposed man to that perfect salvation of the human race,
1014 2, 98 | exercises the principal and perfect acts; while those things
1015 2, 98 | it was fitting that the perfect law of the ~New Testament

1098 2, 4 | of those ~virtues which perfect the will, among which is

1100 2, 4 | these principles must be perfect: for it is not possible
1101 2, 4 | the act of faith is to be ~perfect, there needs to be a habit

1108 2, 4 | of lifeless faith is duly perfect on the part of the intellect,

1111 2, 4 | cannot tend to God with perfect love, unless the ~intellect
1112 2, 4 | the intellect, the more perfect is the ~more certain. Now
1113 2, 4 | Now understanding is more perfect than faith, since faith ~
