"By predestination we mean the eternal decree of God, by which he has determined with himself whatever he wills to happen with regard to every man."

"God's justice or righteousness is manifest as the reprobate receive the eternal punishment they deserve."

"Our salvation depends on the free election of God."

"For we do not say that man is dragged unwillingly into sinning, but that because his will is corrupt he is held captive under the yoke of sin and therefore of necessity wills in an evil way."

"The reprobate are not able to repent, because God does not give them the grace of repentance."
