Grace acting on the will

Thesis XXV. 'God also bends the will to obey him, and through his Holy Spirit, who uses the word, he so inclines it to acts of faith and obedience that through that working the will not only is able to obey but actually obeys, every time it obeys, through that same working, and not of itself, by itself or from itself.'

Latin

XXV. Voluntatem insuper Deus in obsequium suum flectit, & ad actus fidei & obedientiae ita inclinat per Spiritum suum sanctum verbo utentem, ut voluntas per illam operationem non solum possit obedire, sed & per illam operationem obediat quoties obedit; non ex se, aut per se, aut a se.
