Julian quotations
Against Julian 6.21.66
The devil’s work is not allowed to pass through God’s work.
The root of evil cannot be placed in God’s gift.
The order of things does not allow evil to be produced from good, or anything unjust from what is just.
Sins are not born from something free from sin.
Guilt cannot be born from this work, which has no guilt.
Latin
Per opus Dei opus diaboli transire non sinitur. Non potest mali radix in dono Dei locari. Rerum ratio non sinit, ut de bono malum, et de iusto iniquum aliquid proferatur. Non nascuntur peccata de ea re, quae libera est a peccato. De hoc opere quod non habet culpam, nasci culpa non potest
