To Florus 2.169
For the one who did not spare his own Son but handed him over for us all—through whom he consecrated us by the Holy Spirit’s operation—undoubtedly gave us everything with him (Romans 8:32). ‘For why, when we were still weak, did Christ at the appointed time die for the ungodly?’ (Romans 5:6).
Latin
Qui enim Filio suo non pepercit, sed pro nobis omnibus tradidit eum, per quem nos operatione Sancti Spiritus consecravit, procul dubio cum illo omnia nobis donavit [n257] . Utquid enim Christus, cum adhuc infirmi essemus, secundum tempus pro impiis mortuus est? [n258]
About this text
Julian’s six preserved books to Florus, quoted section by section in Augustine’s unfinished reply. Augustine’s refutations are omitted. Latin of Julian’s words is on each section.
Julian’s own books do not survive as a separate manuscript. English follows his words as Augustine quotes them in the Unfinished Work Against Julian. Augustine’s replies are omitted. We do not restore a Julian text independent of Augustine.
