Julian excerpt in the intermediary document
Marriage 2.28.47
The one being born does not sin; the one who begot the child does not sin; the one who created the child does not sin. Through what cracks among so many defenses of innocence do you imagine that sin entered?
Latin
Quid est quod dicit: "Non peccat iste qui nascitur, non peccat ille qui genuit, non peccat iste qui condidit; per quas rimas inter tot praesidia innocentiae peccatum fingis ingressum?". Quid quaerit latentem rimam, cum habeat apertissimam ianuam? Per unum hominem, ait Apostolus; per unius delictum, ait Apostolos; per inoboedientiam unius hominis, ait Apostolus. Quid quaerit amplius? quid quaerit apertius? quid quaerit inculcatius?
