To Florus 2.211
‘For the judgment was from one offense to condemnation, but grace is from many offenses to justification’ (Romans 5:16). That is, serious sins, even singly, can suffice for the accusation and condemnation of the guilty.
Latin
Nam iudicium ex uno in condemnationem, gratia autem ex multis delictis in iustificationem [n339] , id est: peccata quidem, quae gravia sunt, etiam singula possunt sufficere ad accusationem et ad damnationem reorum.
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.
