To Florus 2.163
How forcefully he impresses upon us that, before God the just judge, one person’s sins do not harm others! Praising Christ’s death, he carefully declares that Christ underwent death because of our offenses—which were both many and ours—not because of one offense belonging to another, a man long dead (Romans 4:25).
Latin
Quam vehementer inculcat apud iustum iudicem Deum aliena peccata aliis non nocere, qui commendans mortem Christi vigilanter enuntiat propter nostra illum delicta, quae et plura erant et nostra erant, non propter unum et alienum et olim defuncti hominis mortem oppetiisse?
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.
