But as things stand, even if I gather the Gospel’s figurative expressions, they do not support them. Much less did the apostle Paul provide any occasion for error: he said nothing improper if he declared that the first sinful man was an example to later sinners (compare Romans 5:12) (Romans 5:12).

Nunc vero si colligam, quae sunt in Evangelio abusive prolata, non sustinent; multo magis apostolus Paulus nullam errori occasionem praebuit, qui nihil dixit improprium, si pronuntiavit, peccatorem primum hominem sequentibus peccantibus exemplum fuisse.
