Julian quotation
Against Julian 5.16.59
Sins are not born from something free from sin.
Latin
Coniugalem concubitum, qui fit intentione generandi, non ipsum esse peccatum, eo quod bona voluntas animi sequentem ducat, non ducentem sequatur corporis voluptatem
De ea re quae a peccato libera est, peccata non nasci
De ea re quae a peccato libera est, peccata non nasci
De ea re quae a peccato libera est - dicis - peccata non nasci
