To Turbantius — fragments in Against Julian · §4-8-50

Direct quotation

Against Julian 4.8.50

If, because of this evil of desire, guilty offspring are brought forth even from Christian spouses, it follows that virgin chastity brings happiness. And since it is found among the ungodly, unbelievers raised high by the virtue of chastity surpass Christians polluted by the stain of desire.

Among them, faith allows crime to go unpunished.
