Against Julian 4.3.30
If a pagan clothes a naked person, is it a sin because it is not from faith?
If a pagan clothes a naked person, rescues someone in danger, tends a sick person’s wounds, spends their wealth in honorable friendship, and cannot be forced even by torture to give false testimony…
Latin
Si gentilis - inquis - nudum operuerit, numquid quia non est ex fide, peccatum est?
Si gentilis
nudum operuerit, periclitantem liberaverit, aegri vulnera foverit, divitias honestae amicitiae impenderit, ad testimonium falsum nec tormentis potuerit impelli
