Cap. VI Arg. 3: from Scripture authority — affirmative and negative
Third argument: from the authority of Scripture, both yes and no. Scripture everywhere names God's εὐδοκία — his good pleasure — as the cause of our predestination; it never sets foresighted faith down as cause, condition, or antecedent. So we must not shift this ineffable benefit off pure good pleasure onto foresighted faith. So Rom. 9:11 (when they had done nothing good or evil, that God's purpose according to election might stand) and Eph. 1:11 (chosen in him, predestined according to purpose) — and the like.
Latin
Tertio argumentamur ab auctoritate Scripturarum, tam affirmative quam negative, hoc modo. Scripturae Dei εὐδοκίαν sive beneplacitum causam praedestinationis nostrae passim commemorant; fidem autem praevisam nunquam sive causam, sive conditionem, sive antecedaneum praedestinationis statuunt. Ergo non oportet nos a puro beneplacito Dei ad fidem praevisam hoc ineffabile praedestinationis beneficium transferre. Huc faciunt illa Scripturae loca, Rom. ix. 11, Cum nihil fecissent boni vel mali, ut propositum Dei secundum electionem maneret; et Ephes. i. 11, In quo electi sumus, cum essemus praedestinati secundum propositum; et alia consimilia.
