Whether the will is the subject of charity?

❌ Objection 1 : It would seem that the will is not the subject of charity. For charity is a kind of love. Now, according to the Philosopher (Topic. ii, 3) love is in the concupiscible part. Therefore charity is also in the concupiscible and not in the will.

❌ Objection 2 : Further, charity is the foremost of the virtues, as stated above (Question [23], Article [6]). But the reason is the subject of virtue. Therefore it seems that charity is in the reason and not in the will.

❌ Objection 3 : Further, charity extends to all human acts, according to 1 Cor. 16:14: "Let all your things be done in charity." Now the principle of human acts is the free-will. Therefore it seems that charity is chiefly in the free-will as its subject and not in the will.
