To Florus 2.209
The apostle does not lie. Therefore Christ’s grace abounded to more people than Adam’s fault. Those who sinned under the law are said to have sinned in imitation of that fault; and until Christ, only the Jews sinned under the law. Compare, then, the Jewish nation alone—and only its adults—placed under the law and therefore sinning in the likeness of Adam’s transgression, since he sinned after receiving a law, with the thousands saved by grace’s generosity from the multitude of Gentile nations called through the preaching of the Gospel. Then you will understand that the apostle Paul truly declared that God’s grace and Jesus Christ’s gift reached more people than did participation in the ancient transgression (compare Romans 5:14–15) (Romans 5:14–15).
Latin
Non mentitur Apostolus; ergo in plures abundavit Christi gratia quam Adae culpa, cuius imitatione dicuntur peccasse, qui sub lege peccaverunt; sub lege autem usque ad Christum Iudaei tantummodo deliquerunt. Confer ergo Iudaicam nationem solam perfectae dumtaxat aetatis sub lege positam et per hoc in similitudine praevaricationis Adae peccantem, qui accepta lege peccavit, ac de multitudine vocatarum Gentium per praedicationem Evangelii eorum millia, qui gratiae sunt liberalitate salvati, tuncque intelleges apostolum Paulum vere pronuntiasse ad plures gratiam Dei et donum Iesu Christi pervenisse quam societatem praevaricationis antiquae.
