DP 298 [6] - someone who trusts in Divine providence is turned away from evil

DP 298 [6]
As regards intelligence,
it appears to be one's own and inherently so,
both in the case of a good person and in the case of an evil one,
and a good person is bound to act in accord with his intelligence
as though it were his own
just as much as an evil person.
But someone who trusts in Divine providence is turned away from evil,
while someone who does not trust in it is not turned away.
Moreover, the person who trusts in it
is someone who acknowledges evil to be a sin
and wishes to be turned away from it,
while someone who does not have that acknowledgment and wish
does not trust in it.
