LXXXIIII. De bona voluntate.
LXXXIIII. De bona voluntate.
But God will give to a person what they ask for because of their good will. Therefore, a good will is a most pleasing aroma to God, just as in the Old Testament God did not delight in the blood of goats, but in the good will of people.
Read the original Latin
103 Sed et Deus homini, propter bonam voluntatem ipsius, quod petit dabit.
Bona igitur voluntas suavissimus odor Deo est, quemadmodum et in veteri Testamento Deus non sanguine hircorum delectabatur, sed bona voluntate hominum.
