Part 1: That these vessels or garments should be the root of evil... Clearly, since they produced evil when they ruled by themselves, they are certainly like this in their nature. Yet this...is not in itself an impairment... For if it were an impairment, the vessels would have to be nullified just like evil itself is nullified in the end. For just as the perfection that removes all deficiences removes evil itself, so to it would have to remove this impairment, which is a deficiency inasmuch as it is the cause of evil. But, as it goes onto explain, it is not an impairment, and therefore they will endure.
