To Turbantius — fragments in Against Julian · §4-9-53

Julian quoting augustine

Against Julian 4.9.53

“Were not the first spouses, whose marriage God blessed by saying, ‘Increase and multiply’ (Genesis 1:28), naked and unashamed (Genesis 2:25)? Why, then, did shame about those organs follow sin, unless an indecent movement arose there, which marriage would certainly not have had if human beings had not sinned?”
