To Florus 2.204
But let us examine the rest. ‘But grace is not like the offense. For if in one man’s offense many died, much more did God’s grace and the gift in the grace of the one man Jesus Christ abound to more people’ (Romans 5:15). He says that the evil of the offense is surpassed by the abundance of grace, and ranks the number of those saved above those whom he declares to have perished through transgression.
Latin
Sed videamus et cetera. Sed non sicut delictum ita gratia; si enim in unius delicto multi mortui sunt, multo magis gratia Dei et donum in gratia unius hominis Iesu Christi in plures abundavit [n330] . Superari dicit malum delicti copia gratiae et eorum qui salvantur numerum illis, quos praevaricatione perisse asserit, anteponit.
