II.1 chapter 15

It is certain that there is no evil from the beginning. When it is said "The devil sins from the beginning" (1 John 3:8) it is not meant "from the beginning of his creation". The same with other texts in the Bible: they indicate his fallen state.
For everything, even the smallest creatures, is created by God; and God has not made anything evil.
