To Florus 3.94
Thus the apostle says to the Corinthians: ‘Just as woman is from man, so man is through woman; but all things are from God’ (1 Corinthians 11:12) (Romans 5:12). Thirdly, reason shows that even if neither of the two supporting points we offered existed, Paul’s statement that sin entered this world through one man would still have formed no alliance with the Manichaeans.
Latin
Sic enim Apostolus ad Corinthios: Nam sicut mulier - inquit - ex viro, ita et vir per mulierem, omnia autem ex Deo [n121] . Tertio vero ostendit ratio, quoniam, etsi neutrum horum, quod nobis amminiculatur, fuisset, tamen illam sententiam, qua per unum hominem intrasse peccatum in hunc mundum Paulus disputat, nullum cum Manichaeis inisse foedus.
