Excerpt from Commentaires de S. Thomas d'Aquin sur Toutes les Epitres de S. Paul, Vol. 4: Traduction Fran�aise Avec le d104e, Accompagn�s de Sommaires, de Notes, d'�claircissements
I. Dans la premi�re partie, S. Paul d�signe 40 la personne qui salue par son nom Paul; 20 l'autorit� de cette personne (v. 4) ap� tre de J�sus - Christ 50 le principe de l'autorit� (v. 1) Par la volont� de Dieu, etc. 40 l'ap�tre dit donc Paul, ap�tre. Paul est le nom de son humilit�, ap�tre celui de sa dignit�, parce que celui qui s'humilie, sera exalt� (8. Luc, x1v, v. Il et XVIII, v.14). - 20 Ap�tre, dis - je de j�sus-christ, et non pas de Satan, comme le sont les faux-ap�tres Corinth., 111, v. 44) Il n'est donc pas �tonnant que les ministres, c'est - � - dire, les ministres de Satan, se transfigurent en ministres de la justice, etc. Oo Ap�tre, dis - je, non par mes m�rites, mais par la volont� de Dieu, tandis qu'au contraire il est dit de plusieurs (ose'e, v..., v. 4) Ils ont r�gn� par eux-m�mes, et non par moi.
II. a tous les saints, qui sont � Eph�se, et aux fid�les, sup pl�ez, �crit. Ou encore moi donc Paul, j'�cris aux saints, afin qu'ils s'appliquent aux vertus, quant ace qui regarde les moeurs aux fid� les afin qu'ils ne s'�cartent pas de la doctrine en ce qui regarde la foi ou bien aux saints, c'est-�-dire aux premiers et aux parfaits et aux fid�les, e'est-�-dire aux derniers et aux imparfaits. Et aux fid�les, dis - je, en j�sus-christ, et non par leurs actes propres.

Thomas Aquinas was an immensely influential philosopher and theologian in the tradition of scholasticism, known as Doctor Angelicus and Doctor Communis.
He was the foremost classical proponent of natural theology, and the father of the Thomistic school of philosophy and theology. His influence on Western thought is considerable, and much of modern philosophy was conceived as a reaction against, or as an agreement with, his ideas, particularly in the areas of ethics, natural law and political theory.
The philosophy of Aquinas has exerted enormous influence on subsequent Christian theology, especially that of the Roman Catholic Church, extending to Western philosophy in general, where he stands as a vehicle and modifier of Aristotelianism, which he fused with the thought of Augustine.
