Julian interpretation of scripture
Against Julian 6.23.72
Augustine reports that Julian refers these words to ‘the Jews’ pride,’ as though the apostle had represented in himself people who despised Christ’s gifts as unnecessary for them.
They despised those gifts because he offered forgiveness of sins that they themselves had avoided through the law’s admonition.
Latin
in Iudaeorum superbiam
ista verba transferre, tamquam ipsos in se transfiguraverit Apostolus, qui contemnebant dona Christi, velut sibi non necessaria
quod veniam daret ille peccatis, quae ipsi legis admonitione vitassent
