Consider, then, the distance between you and Paul. He says ‘through one man’ (Romans 5:12); you say ‘through two,’ that is, through generation. He declares that both sin and death were in the first man, but that only death passed to his descendants. You, on the contrary, maintain that both sin and destruction spread to everyone.

Latin

Quantum igitur inter te et Paulum distet, intende. Ille dicit: Per unum hominem [n94] , tu: Per duos, id est, per generationem. Ille pronuntiat, in primo homine et peccatum et mortem fuisse, ad posteros vero solam transisse mortem; tu contra asseris, et peccatum ad omnes et interitum cucurrisse.
