To Florus 4.14
Still, let us see which of my statements you have seized on to attack under the name of error. “But amid all these things,” (John 14:30) you say, “he was unwilling to name the desire of the flesh, which is not from the Father but from the world. The devil is called the ruler of this world. He did not find this desire in the Lord, because the Lord came among human beings as a man without it” (1 John 2:16) (Augustine, On Marriage and Concupiscence 2.5.14; compare 1 John 2:16; John 14:30). You certainly said I was introducing a heresy, but you add none of my words to prove it (1 John 2:16; John 14:30).
Latin
Videamus tamen quid sententiarum mearum arripueris, quod nomine erroris incessas. Sed iste - inquis - in his omnibus nominare noluit concupiscentiam carnis, quae non est a Patre, sed ex mundo est; cuius mundi princeps dictus est diabolus; qui eam in Domino non invenit, quia Dominus homo non per ipsam ad homines venit [n25] . Dixisti certe me haeresim introducere, ad quod probandum nulla mea dicta subiungis.
