V.In the intellect after the fall there arose darkness and culpable ignorance concerning God and divine things (Ephesians 4:18; 1 Corinthians 2:14).VI.In the will there arose aversion from God, inclination to evil, and impotence toward spiritual good (Romans 8:7).
VII.Second, the darkness of the intellect is followed by the perversity of the will and the disturbance of the affections.The human loves himself and creatures inordinately, hates Gods spiritual law, and is drawn by concupiscences (Galatians 5:17; James 1:14-15).This corruption does not take away the substance of the soul nor liberty as to acts, but deprives of original uprightness and brings guilt and punishment.

V. In intellectu post lapsum ortae sunt tenebrae et ignorantia culpabilis circa Deum et res divinas (Eph. 4:18; 1 Cor. 2:14). VI. In voluntate ortae sunt aversio a Deo, inclinatio ad malum, et impotentia ad spirituale bonum (Rom. 8:7). VII. Secundo, tenebras intellectus sequitur perversitas voluntatis et perturbatio affectuum. Homo amat se et creaturas inordinate, odit legem Dei spiritualem, et concupiscentiis trahitur (Gal. 5:17; Iac. 1:14-15). Haec corruptio non tollit substantiam animae nec libertatem quoad actus, sed privat rectitudine originali et infert reatum ac poenam.
