To Turbantius — fragments in Against Julian · §5-16-60

Julian allegations and argument

Against Julian 5.16.60

When it serves married people for producing offspring, lust is then honored.

Using lust always entails guilt.

Adulterers sin less than married people, because lust serves married people so that they sin, while it commands adulterers.

If lust is evil, it binds married people whom it serves with greater guilt than adulterers whom it rules.
