The below is a paragraph from "Divine Institute" by Lactantius.
The soul is always in its own condition; and from the time when it receives the power of breathing, it remains the same even to the end, until, being sent forth from the confinement of the body, it flies back to its own abode. In the next place, the soul, although inspired by God, yet, because it is shut up in a dark abode of earthly flesh, does not possess knowledge, which belongs to divinity. Therefore it hears and learns all things, and receives wisdom by learning and hearing; and old age does not lessen wisdom, but increases it, if the age of youth has been passed in virtue; and if excessive old age shall have enfeebled the limbs, it is not the fault of the mind if the sight has vanished, if the tongue has become benumbed, if the hearing has grown deaf, but it is the fault of the body.
Could anyone please explain the meaning of "if the age of youth has been passed in virtue"?
I have a hard time making a connection in this context.

The below is the sentence from "Divine Institute" by Lactantius.
That which has an end does not contain the chief good. But the chief good is contained in that spiritual life which we acquire by ourselves, because it cannot contain evil, or have an end; to which subject nature and the system of the body afford an argument.
Could you explain what the "afford an argument" means in this context? I have looked it up and it seems that the meaning of "afford" here is a little different from how I usually use this word.

Please explain the gammer in the below sentence from the book "Divine Institute" by Lactantius.
No one favours virtue but he who is able to follow it; but it is not easy for all to follow it: they can do so whom poverty and want have exercised, and made capable of virtue.
I don't understand the meaning of "whom" here in the last sentence.

I’m open to any suggestions. thanks!
