Julian excerpts with scripture
Against Julian 5.15.57
A dissimilar nature could not provide an example.
‘He committed no sin’ (1 Peter 2:22).
Notice that the apostle judged it sufficient to show there was no sin in Christ by saying he committed no sin, teaching that someone who did not commit it could not possess it.
Latin
Non potuit - inquis - exemplum dare natura dissimilis
doceret - iniquis - quia qui non fecit, habere non potuit
