42. Insofar as Someone Refrains from Evils as Being Sins, So Far He Has Faith and Is Spiritual

Faith and life are two distinct things, like thinking and acting; and because thinking is a function of the intellect, and acting a function of the will, it follows that faith and life are two distinct things, like intellect and will. Someone who knows the distinction between intellect and will also knows the distinction between faith and life. And someone who knows how the intellect and the will go together also knows how faith and life go together. Therefore we must first say something about the intellect and the will.
