XXV. Quod Deus vult omyiia munda esse in conspectu ejus.

XXV. Quod Deus vult omyiia munda esse in conspectu ejus.

And whenever the same elements have been polluted by the wicked actions of people, God will cleanse them through torments and hardships, because He wants everything to be pure in His sight, for nothing can be brought to an end without Him, nor can it be diminished.

Read the original Latin

Et quoties eadem elementa pravis actibus hominum poUuta fuerint, toties per tormenta et aerumnas hominum Deus illa emundabit, quia vult ut omnia in conspectu ejus munda sint, quia etiam a nuUo poterit ad finem perduci, nec minorari.
