Question 151 — Chastity

We must next consider chastity: (1) The virtue itself of chastity: (2) virginity, which is a part of chastity: (3) lust, which is the contrary vice. Under the first head there are four points of inquiry:

(1) Whether chastity is a virtue?

• (2) Whether it is a general virtue?
• (3) Whether it is a virtue distinct from abstinence?
• (4) Of its relation to purity.
