Paragraph 2 Who teach: That the spiritual gifts or the good qualities and virtues

Who teach: That the spiritual gifts or the good qualities and virtues, such as goodness, holiness, righteousness, could not belong to the will of man when he was first created, and that these, therefore, cannot have been separated therefrom in the fall.

For such is contrary to the description of the image of God which the apostle gives in Eph.4:24, where he declares that it consists in righteousness and holiness, which undoubtedly belong to the will.
