  2   2    |     Therefore faith may refer to evil things as well as to good,
  3   2    |     believe in both the good~and evil. Yet faith is good, not
  4   2    |           Yet faith is good, not evil. Moreover, faith refers
  5   3    |    universe, even what is called evil, when it is rightly ordered
  6   3    |         all, would not allow any evil in his works, unless in
  7   3    |          bring forth good out of evil. ~What, after all, is anything
  8   3    |         all, is anything we call evil except the privation of
  9   3    |         exist any more. For such evil is not a substance; the
 10   3    |         as a substance, is good. Evil, then, is an~accident, i.e.,
 11   3(22)|         constructive, essential; evil is privative, destructive,
 12   4    |      CHAPTER IV - The Problem of Evil~~
 13   4    |         good to be diminished is evil; still, however much~it
 14   4    | corrupted, its ~corruption is an evil because it is, by just so
 15   4    |         of the good, there is no evil. Where there is evil, there
 16   4    |          no evil. Where there is evil, there is a corresponding
 17   4    |          is nothing to be called evil if there is nothing good.
 18   4    |        good that wholly lacks an evil aspect is entirely good.
 19   4    |        good. Where there is some evil in a thing, its ~good is
 20   4    | defectible. Thus there can be no evil where there is no good.
 21   4    |          are saying that what is evil is~good, that only what
 22   4    |        only what is good is ever evil and that there is no evil
 23   4    |        evil and that there is no evil apart from something good. ~
 24   4    |       natura bonum est]. Nothing evil exists _in~itself_, but
 25   4    |          itself_, but only as an evil aspect of some actual entity.
 26   4    |  Therefore, there can be nothing evil ~except something good.
 27   4    |            Woe to those who call evil good and good evil: who
 28   4    |          call evil good and good evil: who call~darkness light
 29   4    |          Lord himself saith: "An evil man brings forth evil out
 30   4    |         An evil man brings forth evil out of the evil treasure
 31   4    |     brings forth evil out of the evil treasure of his heart."~24 ~
 32   4    |                What, then, is an evil man but an evil entity [
 33   4    |      then, is an evil man but an evil entity [natura mala], since
 34   4    |           is a bad man except an evil good? When,~however, we
 35   4    |        in so far as~he is a man, evil in so far as he is wicked.
 36   4    |       that simply to be a man is~evil, or that to be a wicked
 37   4    |  judgment: "Woe to~him who calls evil good and good evil." For
 38   4    |         calls evil good and good evil." For this amounts to finding
 39   4    |        as it is defective, it is evil.~
 40   4    |     these two contraries we call evil and good, the rule of the
 41   4    |          maintains that good and~evil are not contraries, they
 42   4    |        not only coexist, but the evil cannot exist at all without
 43   4    |       the good can exist without evil. For a~man or an angel could
 44   4    |         good to be an angel; but evil to be wicked. These~two
 45   4    |          were no good in what is evil, then the evil~simply could
 46   4    |        in what is evil, then the evil~simply could not be, since
 47   4    |        no other source whence an evil thing can come to be. If
 48   4    |         15. But when we say that evil has its source in the good,
 49   4    |          A good tree cannot bear evil fruit."~26 This cannot be,
 50   4    |      grow good fruit, so also an evil will does not produce good
 51   4    |        forth either a good or an evil will. There was no ~other
 52   4    |          other place from whence evil could have arisen in the
 53   5    |      know the causes of good and evil in things, at least as far
 54   6    |          be deceived is a lesser~evil than to lie, as far as a
 55   6    |         would it not be~a lesser evil to lead someone into the
 56   6    |      good results. It is a great evil for a man to be deceived
 57   6    |         death. But it is a~small evil to be deceived by crediting
 58   6    |       consequently has to suffer evil on his account. Or, take
 59   6    |            Woe to those who call evil good." For we should understand
 60   6    |          things in which men are evil and not to the men themselves.
 61   6    |         his doctrine of good and evil, but only as to the secrets
 62   6    |      thing. I speak only of ~the evil which did not happen or
 63   6    |       suffer harm from something evil if the~wicked man whom we
 64   7    |        more than this comes from evil."~42 Yet because of what
 65   7    |         Yet because of what this evil~does, never ceasing to subvert
 66   8    |     about the causes of good and evil - enough to lead us in the
 67   8    |        God himself. The cause of evil is the defection of the
 68   8    |       such a nature, even in its evil state, could not lose its
 69   8    |          ruined and wallowing in evil, being plunged from evil
 70   8    |         evil, being plunged from evil into evil and, having~joined
 71   8    |     being plunged from evil into evil and, having~joined causes
 72   8    |         and~vitality even in the evil angels, for were _this_
 73   8    |      better to~bring good out of evil than not to permit any evil
 74   8    |      evil than not to permit any evil to exist. And if he had
 75   8    |    deserted God and, through the evil use of his powers, trampled
 76   8    |          himself,~who had in the evil use of his free will broken
 77   9    |      damned. Hence, the original evil did not bind them in the
 78   9    |    course not! For it was in the evil use~of his free will that
 79  13    |        have added, through their evil living, to the~burden they
 80  13    |        birth ~is involved in the evil deeds of all his forebears,
 81  14    |        of God is passed upon the evil, as in the word, "But they
 82  14    |           But they who have done evil [shall~come forth] to the
 83  14    |     distinction between good and evil is made, to the end that,~
 84  14    |       end that,~being freed from evil and not destroyed with the
 85  15    |       heaven, save that in it no evil is~to be found, nor any
 86  16    |         and his deliverance~from evil was done for the angels
 87  17    | regeneration, tortured by divers evil afflictions. This helps
 88  18    |               But if faith~works evil and not good, then without
 89  19    |          by mistake, they return evil for~good, when a Christian
 90  19    |    Christian ought not to return evil even for evil. Thus, there
 91  19    |          to return evil even for evil. Thus, there are many kinds
 92  19    |         one who has ~done you no evil. It is far greater - a sort
 93  21    |      infer the magnitude of this evil from the apostle's~fear,
 94  21    |        Isaiah's reference to the evil vineyard: "I looked that
 95  22    |        first is ignorance~of the evil; the second, weakness.~We
 96  24    |       good. ~Therefore, although evil, in so far as it is evil,
 97  24    |         evil, in so far as it is evil, is not good, still it is
 98  24    |       only~good things exist but evil as well. For if it were
 99  24    |         if it were not good that evil things exist, they would~
100  25    |         that God cannot turn the evil~wills of men - as he willeth,
101  25    |       good deeds of~the one, and evil deeds of the other - which
102  25    |    therefore be blamed for being evil _because_ God "hath mercy
103  26    |        Good, he made good use of evil deeds, for the damnation
104  26    |         he who is good allow the evil to be done, unless in his
105  26    |     could~bring good even out of evil.~
106  26    |     circumstances~can it ever be evil. For example, it is a good
107  26    |         can happen that a man of evil will can will something~
108  26    |           all good - through the evil wills of bad men. For~example,
109  26    |          of men, whether good or evil, whether~they will what
110  26    |       And this will can never be evil, because even when it inflicts
111  26    |    obviously what is just is not evil. Therefore, whether through
112  28    |         man, even in man's doing evil, and so~that the good will
113  28    |         could will~both good and evil - not without reward, if
114  28    |    punishment, if ~he willed the evil. But in the future life
115  28    |       not have the power to will evil; and yet this will~not thereby
116  29    |        the body, whether~good or evil."~236 For each man has for
117  30    |  temptation, but deliver~us from evil,"~244 who does not see that
118  30    |      sinning;~here, finally, the evil from which we wish to be
119  30    |      place, "But deliver us from evil," Luke leaves out, in~order
120  30    |          is being delivered from evil in that he is not being
121  31    |          as he does not yield to evil desires, conquering them~
