To Florus 2.155
Since, then, while still uncircumcised, Abraham was declared a witness to faith and obtained the enlargement of his offspring as faith’s reward, by what rule, Paul asks, do you, a Jew, think Gentiles do not belong to the fellowship of righteousness when they reproduce Abraham’s faith by believing the same things about God’s powers?
Latin
Cum ergo ille adhuc in praeputio testis sit fidei pronuntiatus et ob eius stipendium dilatationem fuerit seminis consecutus qua, inquit, regula tu, Iudaee, non putas ad consortium iustitiae pertinere gentiles, qui fidem Abrahae paria de Dei virtutibus credendo restituunt?
About this text
Julian’s six preserved books to Florus, quoted section by section in Augustine’s unfinished reply. Augustine’s refutations are omitted. Latin of Julian’s words is on each section.
Julian’s own books do not survive as a separate manuscript. English follows his words as Augustine quotes them in the Unfinished Work Against Julian. Augustine’s replies are omitted. We do not restore a Julian text independent of Augustine.
