Not as if some good or base thing somehow belonged to those not yet born, who are outside sensation (it is still utterly silly to think thus), but that for those about to fall into all misery, if they should be brought into being by God, non-existence is surely much and incomparably better (Matthew 26:24).
Greek
Οὐχ ὡς ὄντος τινὸς ἢ ἀγαθοῦ ἢ φαύλου τυχὸν τοῖς οὔπω γενο μένοις ἔξω αἰσθήσεως οὖσιν (ἔτι κομιδῇ εὔηθες τὸ οὕτω νοεῖν), ἀλλ' ὅτι τοῖς μέλλουσιν ἀθλιότητος ἁπάσης εἴσω πεσεῖν, εἰ πρὸς τὸ εἶναι ἐμπαρενεχθεῖεν ὑπὸ θεοῦ, πολὺ δήπου καὶ ἀσυγκρίτως ἀμείνων ἡ ἀνυπαρξία.
