Original Justice
The state of original justice given to Adam at his creation: grace, all theological and moral virtues were infused simultaneously; original justice was the constant assistance and sustaining help of God, by which all disordered movements of concupiscence were prevented. The mind was subject to God, the senses to reason, the body to the soul, and all living creatures to man.

Verse 26: Let Us Make Man in Our Image and Likeness
— To Adam, along with grace, all theological and moral virtues were infused; original justice was the constant assistance of God preventing disordered movements of concupiscence.
"to Adam, in the first instant of his creation, along with grace, all the theological and moral virtues were simultaneously infused; likewise, original justice was given to him, which, beyond the habits of the virtues already mentioned, was the constant assistance and sustaining help of God, by which all disordered movements of the appetite, that is, of concupiscence, which precede reason, were prevented"

Verse 26: Let Us Make Man in Our Image and Likeness
— In the state of innocence, the mind was subject to God, the senses to reason, the body to the soul, and all living creatures to man; hence no shame at nakedness.
"God created man endowed with such integrity of soul and innocence that the mind was subject to God, the senses to reason, and the body to the soul, and all living creatures were subject to man's dominion: hence it came about that he was not ashamed of his nakedness."
