God And Righteousness

Dic mihi, quibus modis facit Deus justitiam cum sanctis suis? Respondit : Tribus : monstrat, ut sciant; persuadet, ut diligant; adjuvat, ut perficiant. Sanctus Isidorus Hispalensis, De Veteri et Novo Testamento Quaestiones, Quaestio XVII Source:  Migne PL 83.203c

Tell me, in what ways does God make righteousness with his saints? Answer: In three ways. He reveals that they might know it, persuades that they might love it, aids that they might be perfected. Saint Isidore of Seville, Questions on the Old and New Testaments, Question 17
