Which & one?

Hi guys,

I have a sentence which I don't quite sure with: "Human frailty doesn't lie with the ability to know which is right and which is wrong; it lies with the ability to choose the right one"

Is that sentence grammatically correct?

Thanks in advance, AL

It is grammatically correct, but it makes little sense to me. I don't understand the distinction being made, and neither ability seems to be a symptom of frailty.

Sorry, I'm being a bit dense. "the ability to choose the right one" means the ability to choose to do right rather than do wrong.

In simpler words, sins aren't caused by the ability to differentiate right from wrong; they are caused by the propensity to choose the wrong thing.
