“We are also wont to distinguish faith after this manner, that faith is sometimes taken without the work, sometimes with the work. For as an artificer speaks diversely of the matter on which he works and likewise a gardener of the tree being barren (nuda) or fruitful; even so the Holy Ghost speaks diversely of faith in the Scriptures: sometimes of an absolute faith (de fide abstracta, vel absoluta), sometimes of a compound or, as a man would say, an incarnate faith (de fide concreta, composita, seu incarnata). Faith is regarded as it is in itself and without relation to other things when Scripture speaks of justification or of the justified in the absolute sense, as is seen in the Epistles to the Romans and to the Galatians. But when Scripture speaks of rewards and works, then it speaks of faith as joined with other things, as it is seen, as it has become incarnate. We shall rehearse some examples of this faith, as Gal. 5:6: ‘Faith which worketh by love.’ … In these and similar passages where mention is made of doing, and works, the Scripture always speaks of works as done by faith …. All things which are attributed to works do properly belong to faith. For works must not be looked upon morally (moraliter), but theologically and according to faith.” (St. L. IX, 349 ff.)
